I dont even iron my own clothing. The last time the iron was even plugged in was about 9 years ago when I made a dress and wanted to iron out the wrinkles.
I try not to buy things that need ironing. Sometimes she has sundresses that look like they could use an iron but I just pull them out of the drier ASAP and hang them up. Good enough.
That means yes. Well, DD has decided this year that nothing but dresses will do. I think over the summer we sometimes got her into shorts, but she turned five and girly and there's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, she has a couple of favorite dresses that are a bit fancy, with a sash that ties in the back.... and they really need to be ironed. So every couple of months or so, I drag out the iron and do her dresses. When she sees them back in her closet, she's all
and it makes me feel guilty that I didn't just do it earlier.
Now it's wintertime and her long-sleeved dresses don't need to be ironed, so I should be all set until summertime.
Now if only I could throw away all of DH's work shirts.

Exactly. My idea of ironing is to toss something in the dryer for ten minutes.
DD1 has a few shirts with appliques that come out of the dryer all scrunched up and henceforth need to be hit with a little heat and pressure from the iron to flatten them out. Otherwise, no.
Some of them. When the girls were toddlers, I spray starched their dresses. The starch acted like scotchquard and kept the dresses from being stained. Made laundry easier. I iron Dylan's button shirts, dh's dress shirts, and my silk blouses/shirts. If it warrents ironing, I iron it. The iron and ironing board is always out and in use daily anyway so what's one or two more garments? Heck I even have 2 irons.
I iron virtually everything. When I lived in a soft water area and had a tumble drier I could just hang or fold everything straight out of the drier. I now live in a hardwater area and air dry everything as I don't have a tumble drier so ironing is a must.
I only iron when I sew. It has been years since I have broken out the iron for even me or DH. Never for the kids.
