Haha, remember the old "ring around the collar" commercials? I remember one about a housewife, horrified and ashamed that the neighbors had seen her husband's unsightly shirt.

Sounds like my mother-in-law. I laugh because she still irons my FIL's underwear

I received an iron when I got married. I think I may have used it only a couple of times over the last 15 years for emergency touch-ups.

Funny you should say that. A friend of mine is a learning consultant for an elementary school in our district. She mentioned that one particular test she often gives some students includes a subtest with pictures of objects they need to expressively identify. On one in particular there is a pic of an iron..... She claimed today the majority of the kids aren't able to identify the picture.

The iron. I have 2. I use them for quilting. Recently my bf went to visit his mom in another state (thank you lord). She and his sis were asking him why I hadnt ironed his pants! Said I should take better care of him. Well kiss my arse. He did defend me tho he thought it was funny. The 50's housewife mentality is still alive and well. Sorry for the rant, that just hit a sore spot.

I agree--I hate it when someone irons my clothes.

I hate it when someone expects me to iron their clothes.

No worries. I actually prefer the well-worn look.
