    @looch: Most of my clothes are stretch fit - skinny jeans, tight fitting tops etc. Everything else tends to cone out of the tumble dryer looking decent. If an item of my clothing does need ironing, I will do it of course, but its rare. DH on the other hand - yeah, he wears crumpled t shirts, crumpled jeans etc. It bothered me when we first met and I used to iron any clothes he left at mine but now I think if he wants to look like a hobo its his prerogative!

    Ps - I ironed all the baby stuff when I pre-washed it!! My little princess isn't going to be scruffy!

    @hilsy85: @mewtill: omg - THIS. I SO HATE matching up DH's socks. Even if they're the "same", they're not. Fifty Shades of Black and nothing sexy about it!

    I HATE ironing DH's stuff. I have no problems ironing LOs stuff or a few of my own things, but I think the scale of his stuff is just annoying. In an effort to save some $ once, I volunteered to just wash and iron DH's shirts a couple of times. First time I think I left them wrinkled for over a week, until he needed some shirts. Second time I hurt myself so that was the end of that. Oh, and what brand wrinkle-free stuff do you guys find actually stays wrinkle-free? I bought a pair of slacks for him to wash & wear, but they are STILL wrinkle-y and the biggest PITA to iron! grrr

    Wow, I am sorry You are so super sweet for willingly doing this for your DH. That attitude from him though would drive me crazy. And would earn him a very stern talking to.
