[quote=Anonymous]No, that is not a reasonable request, at all. "Mary, Jim is in charge of his own clothing and appearance. We both do laundry for one another and the kids, but we each take care of our own ironing. If you are concerned about this, I'm sure you can take it up with him, but I think you'll find that--as an adult--he doesn't generally take grooming or fashion advice from others." I don't ignore this kind of thing. I directly respond to it and make it clear that ours is not a 1950s marriage, and they should manage their expectations accordingly. Now, if my husband ever asked me to iron his shirts as a special favor to him--because even though he sometimes irons, I do a better job--I would probably say yes. Just like he does special favors for me, usually when it comes to something he's just better at doing. [/quote]
