Ironing

...

I don’t like ironing. I would rather clean a toilet any day. In fact, when Todd and I were first married, and really poor, the only job I could find was a bathroom janitor for a boy’s freshman dorm. I worked on a crew with five single guys and they called me Mom. We needed money and I was willing to work. I later became a Teacher’s Assistant for my two favorite professors which was much better (understatement). The janitor job was pretty gross at times, but you know what? It still was better than ironing.

I hate Ironing too! I told Ben when we were engaged that I wouldn't iron his cloths, good thing I said it then because,he has never ask me to do it!

I also agree. I've never ironed a thing for Sam. And Sam recently threw in the ironing towel and bought a steamer, which is easier and faster! Still, I can't bring myself to even steam clothes despite when I put something on and think how wrinkly I look.....

Moms are meant to be wrinkly.

PS - You probably have a free pass to heaven since you do iron Todd's clothes.

I'm the opposite - I'd much rather iron than clean toilets! Yuck!
