Do you think i am selfish to let my husband do his own ironing?

turkeyhug

not at all I let mine do the ironing, shopping and cooking HE loves it the only thing I draw the line at is I do all the cleaning and drinking the wine and reading the paper. I draw the line at watching football though but I let him have that as a treat now and then.
He has the sense of contributing and belonging then.

toto

Yes you should let him do yours as well :-)

JillPinky

No. Not at all. Get him to do the washing as well ! ! ! !

Hard question. Do you guys split the chores? My husband and I do. I hate cleaning the bathroom so he does that and I do Laundry. He does the trash and i do the dishes.

this works well.

No. I don't iron and I don't buy anything that needs ironing

MCFC

muse

No! he can do his own he's an adult not a baby and should be able to take care of himself!

chunk

No, i make my other half iron all his clothes...... it's a good thing, it makes them learn.... lol (",)

mimegamy

Nope. My hubby does his shirts each week.

I assume he's a grown man. Why would you do his ironing unless you liked to iron?

trovanhawk

No. Why shouldn't he?

But, would it kill you to do something nice for him once in a while?

Sammie M

No i dont think it is it's better a man learn.. If you do everything else then he should do his own ironing..

LivyZee .

Not unless your home all day.

I would like very much if i can borrow you hubby for a few days.

mark

lol. what. maybe he doesnt want a mother figure from his wife geez

What's the big deal? My older sister showed me how to iron my own clothes soon after our mother died (and our father had to tend to the shop all day long). I have ironed my clothes, and the family's, since then. And now I am 50+.

It is a chore to be sure. And I do it as a chore. Get on with it.

Has he got arms and hands . I'm assuming the answer is yes then if so my answer to you is HELL NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are some jobs in life a woman does better. I believe ironing is one of them - and I'm a woman! I cant say I love ironing, but I would never let my husband iron anything. I'm 50 and a bit old fashioned, I guess. It's all down to age - the ladies in the younger age groups dont do "domestic"

My point exactly

no. it is not your responsibility. u work all day, clean up his mess, it is not selfish if you make him take care of himself. it seems like women do everything for men today and the men just keep the work coming to women and they lack respect for us.

haze

no it wont hurt him and my b/f would rather do it himself coz i dont do it as he wants. men r perfectionists let him carry on my bf is a better ironer than me. infact i dont even iron my own clothes . haha

Ace Auntie

My Hubby does his ironing I hate ironing will do anything else but hate that.
It does him good as he doesnt do any other housework & we both work full time
opps I lied he does cook dinner .
Bless!!

letting him is one thing, making him is a whole other kettle of fish.

does your husband moan about doing his ironing, tell him to take to his mums if he does , and no your not selfish you are his wife not slave ask him if he could do yours then you could chill-out and chat to your friends on yahoo

Why would you be selfish. When you married did you promise to wait on him hand and foot? I'm no feminist but long gone are the days Mrs pampers Mr. Its a 2 way thing now.
