Is it wrong to iron your husbands shirt?

[Northern Monkey]

My misses irons my clothes and probably everyone i know has a lovely lady to iron for them.How many women iron their husbands clothes or would if were married?

[seanraff07]

There shouldn't be a dedicated person FFS, things like ironing/doing dishes/washing clothes should just be done evenly.

I do dishes,I also cook.I just tend to stay away from the washer or iron,Those appliances don't seem to get on with me very well.

[seanraff07]

Fair enough.

What I mean is I don't think guys should refuse to learn to do these things just cause they expect the wife/girlfriend to do it all

[smeagol]

women wont let you iron their clothes lol

[Kazanne]

I wash and iron my hubbies clothes if he did them they'de be full of burn holes,lol

[Jezzy]

I hate ironing and DIY. Other half hates washing up and doesn't know where the washing machine is. Fair trade, no?

[Rachael1904]

It's a choice. Women don't have to to do it. But then some women expect their other halves to put the bins out and mow the lawn!

[Jezzy]

Ah yeah, I won't mow the lawn either :P

tell him to stop smoking when ironing lol

[joeysteele]

When away from home iron my own clothes however when at home my Mum would go right off it if I didn't let her iron my things.

I don't think it matters a great deal and from all I have seen women do iron, shirts especially, most times far better than a man can.

I wouldn't expect anyone to do mine.

[smudgie]

Only wrong when they think you have to.

Personally, I only iron a couple of times a year...and I don't iron anyone's shirts.

Teaching hubby to cook now as well:devil:

Haha, we actually fight over the cooking! We both love it.

[Jack_]

No, but whoever may take on the 'role' of ironing if you like must be doing so through choice, not because of this outdated, sexist belief that because you've got a twat it's your job. That's the problem.

[Kazanne]

:joker:

[Northern Monkey]

I love to cook and my other half loves me to cook,Even though she's not a bad cook herself,It's kinda like art to me,I really enjoy it.Probably not fair really cos she does'nt love ironing as much as i love cooking but she's much better at it than me and she chooses to do it.I could'nt force her to do anything she did'nt want to.lol

[Josy]

No whoever wants to do it should do it

[Pincho Paxton]

Women should do everything, and men should slouch around! :joker:

LOL so did I! Poor Roy :(

[rionablue]

We both iron his shirts. I do it sometimes and other times he does it. He is actually a better ironer than I am. We share all the chores. When we both work its not fair on just one person doing everything. :)

[Seraphim]

We buy/wear things which don't need ironed :) And we share responsibility for household chores. I think as long as the various responsibilities (kids, house, bills, chores, garden, car, DIY, etc.) are shared then it doesn't matter who does what.

[Kizzy]

Well, there hasn't ever been a debate about that I don't keep an iron in the house.
To suggest there are gender specific household chores is ridiculous.

[Sophiee]

luisa didn't say that it was wrong to iron your husband's shirt, she feels that it shouldn't be a chore that women are 'supposed' to do as such and assume that they should.

[bez87]

I think people are just jumping at anything Jim says now, lets just set the record straight, he is an older gentlemen and a mans man, things should be done evenly but I mean not being sexiest but it's a very common knowledge that alot of women are more dominant in that department than men are, and for a long time women did all the housework and washing and ironing while the man used to go out to work, for Jim this is probably what it was like for him.

my Mrs does my washing and ironing because she doesn't trust me and wants a bit of order in the house and she'd rather do it her way than let me intervene, i think things are getting blown well out of order by linda and lusia, he is just being a typical man.

i do house work and wash the dishes and i love to cook, so it is quite even in our house hold.

[Vanessa]

No, it's not wrong. When i was married i did for my husband. :shrug:

[Haylei]

I think that the thing is that Jim is purposefully making these "man" comments to wind Luisa up, the topic and argument don't really matter.

agreed, i do it myself to the mrs sometimes, i wind her up for fun, alot of people do, the thing is, Jim already knows Lusia winds him up for fun, i also think deep down alot of it is just Jim's sense of humour it's very dry and witty

Yes, i think so! Give her a taste of her own medicine. :devil:

[abhorson]

What's the difference between Luisa and an ironing board?

[Haylei]

Haha yeah, I do it to my friends sometimes too. :hugesmile: I think that the funniest part is that Jim and Luisa both have very similar personalities but hate some of the other persons traits so they just try and get the better of each other. It's just one big wind up battle. :flutter:

I agree with this.
You see him a lot in the kitchen, washing & drying and he obviously enjoys cooking a lot.
A lot of what he says is just pure wind up and usually there is always someone to take the bait.

[abhorson]

Sometimes an ironing boards legs are hard to open.

[rusticgal]

No....if your husband is out all day working and you as the wife works part time or is a stay at home mum then why shouldnt they iron their husbands shirts....its called team work.
However if the wife works full time too then its a matter of sharing the load...

I don't do this much,Usually the response i get goes something like this "Well you can do it ya f'ckn self if you want,Cheeky bstrd!" My woman don't take no sht.lol

[Gillian-73]

I don't live with my fella (yet :D) but i would, although he's quite adept at doing it himself!

[Cherie]

Let face it Jim is old school, if his Mrs wants to iron his shirts that is up to her. I think it is wrong to expect women to do it solely, however I think Jim was winding Luisa up, he can cook and he can wash so I doubt he gets everything done for him at home,

[Rachael1904]

Morning folks, my thoughts on last nights prog

http://rachaelscbb13blogspot.blogspot.co.uk/

[Niamh.]

I iron my husbands shirts, tbf to him he's good at almost everything bar ironing so i don't mind doing it. But he's no Jim davidson I can tell you, if he did nothing around the house and expected me to do stuff like that just because I'm a woman he'd be getting a big kick in the arse :laugh:

[Niamh.]

I love to cook and my other half loves me to cook,Even though she's not a bad cook herself,It's kinda like art to me,I really enjoy it.Probably not fair really cos she does'nt love ironing as much as i love cooking but she's much better at it than me and she chooses to do it.I could'nt force her to do anything she did'nt want to.lol

Yeah, that sounds fair to me, most couples have trade offs like that

Lizs reaction to him was funny, she just doesn't get worked up at all

Me too, shame she'll probably be gone tomorrow night though :'(

[Slevin]

yea i dont think anything should be gender specific. like Luisa said if they choose thats fine but to expect someone to do a certain chore cause of whats between their legs is bs. if it has to get done i'll do it. i am not much of a cook though but thats because i suck at it if its mainly not something that has to do with an oven or microwave.:joker:

[*mazedsalv**]

As bad as it is, coming from an Italian family. The women do everything around the house. My Mum irons, cooks, cleans, washes for my Dad, etc... even packs his suitcase and everything. But generations are starting to evolve in the Italian family, I for one do 10x more than my Dad does. Helps that I need to learn those things from being at uni.

So basically my Mum does all of that + works night shifts and my Dad works 10 hour days. However, a lot of my English friends have their Dads do more. So this country is more equal in terms of jobs being done.

[Ammi]

Thought this was about hayley cropper haha

..:joker:..:love:..

[Ammi]

..it's not wrong to iron your OH's shirts or do stuff for him but I wouldn't want to think that he couldn't do those things, himself...

[flamingGalah!]

Of course it isn't wrong for a wife to iron her husbands shirts... Or do the washing, cooking etc... As long as the wife is more than happy to do it.

I think it again is an age thing, my Mum always ironed my Dad's shirts (as well as did everything else around the house) & so did everyone's Mum's that I know...

People of Jim's generation were brought up when many women didn't have careers & they stayed at home (& raised children) while the man went out to work... Nowadays things have greatly changed, but there are still many women out there who are 'housewives' & are more than happy to be as such...

This outpouring of feminist type shock & disgust (from many on here who are not even old enough to get married lol) is actually just as bad, as surely it is about CHOICE for a woman to do what she wants, just as some women may choose to be a glamour model or a pole dancer, some are quite happy to be a stay at home Mum... That is true feminism at work :thumbs:

Excellent post, especially your last paragraph.

[smudgie]

I am a complete mix.
I am of an age:spin:
I am a stay at home mammy.
I still don't iron anyone's shirts
Hubby works 12 hour shifts and still shares the housework etc.

Guess I am just lucky:hugesmile:



or really very lazy.

[Brother Leon]

Of course not. It is to be expected of them. Lolz. Gotcha
