How can one family generate so much ironing? I iron for 5 hours every week! I do not iron linen, only clothes. My neighbor has 2 boys and a husband who is a truck driver and wears drip dry fluro tops and she spends less than 30 minutes per week on ironing. GJ has business shirts and likes those extra nice, cotton t-shirts that have to be ironed. I can't send the girls to school in un-ironed uniforms and Ben goes through at least 3 sets of clothes a day, which leaves me with 5 hours per week of the dreaded chore.
I don't mind the actual ironing, just the time it takes and the fact that I can't multitask while I do it. I was a the gym the other day on a treadmill and wondered if any one had tried to put the ironing board over the sidebars and do 2 things at once?I have finally caught up on GJ's business shirts (note the colour blocking, I think I have a dash of OCD). Someone to do my ironing would be one of my top 10 things on my wish list.
... but they look so neat, orderly, and crisp in the closet when you're all done :-)
