washing your own clothes or ironing them? I prefer washing them than ironing. It's like a boring household chore for me. I hate the heat that the iron produces. But I love to wear them ironed. :)

Never really ironed clothes to be honest with you other than a handful of times. In fact, I don't even own an iron these days. It just takes forever to get everything done and its way too tedious to do. Those handful of times that I actually have done such a thing have taught me this much. It is just something that I do not like to do. I would rather just put the clothes out on the line when the weather permits. Putting them in the dryer is something that is a second choice. However, the fresh air tends to make the clothes smell better. Putting them in the dryer or indeed ironing them, makes them seem a bit stiff and less comfortable, at least for me. Clothes are more comfortable when they are put on the line. So, not the biggest fan of ironing in the world.

It just proves that no one really wants to iron their clothes not unless necessary. lol.. I would prefer my clothes being dried under the sun instead using the dryer just like you.

When I was young, I was not used to doing house hold chores. My mom hired somebody to do it for us and I grew up with that. Now that I am married, I dont have a choice but I have to like all household chores there is. I dont like to wash but I have to. I also dont like to iron but I have to. When I go to my hometown, its the perfect relaxation for me because somebody there can also do those chores for me.

You're right. You will learn to love every chore once you have your own family and you will also learn to hate some chores that you really don't like. It's good that you tried your best to learn these things especially now that you're married. Thumbs up for you.. Continue what you're doing and for sure your husband will love you for this.. :)

i'd like to wash my clothes, but when ironing comes, i dislike it. the reason is : - the heat. it's somewhat dangerous - the electricity. we had to use electricity wisely in our house one tips i usually do is to put the clothes under the pillow or bed/matress. that way it could get pressed and hopes that it could get similar effect of being ironed. hehehe

Hi, cheatedaphrodite. I prefer to iron my clothes than to wash them. I love putting on my clothes when they are just ironed. Especially when it is very cold during the winter time. My ironed clothes warm me up really well.

I really don't mind washing clothes as we have a washing machine, so it is easy to sort out. I find doing the laundry quite rewarding, but I don't enjoy ironing at all. It annoys me when the clothes get creased again so quickly.

I prefer the same thing you, be employed at a washer of clothes and the truth that even I had to learn to iron and it was the part mas troublesome and weighed of the day, when the clients were coming with 20 shirts to iron unbearably. Let's clarify that I prefer washing but with he washes clothes automatically, but not madman, to wash to hand is very tedious.
