No. But a 10 year old is old enough to learn to do it themselves if that’s the way you want to go. Maybe you have a budding West Pointer.

I don’t iron their clothes or my clothes ever. This is not necessary.

I have ironed my 14 year old son’s clothes five times:
1) baptism
2) first communion
3 and 4) elementary school band concerts
5)6th grade promotion ceremony


He has ironed a shirt on his own twice
1) confirmation
2) 8th grade dance

How many times have you washed his clothes?

We have staff for that.

Hahahahaha

Ha ha ha. I think the only two things I’ve ironed (and kid is 7!) are:

-crisp $1 to come from the Tooth Fairy

-white button down for a school performance. I ironed it the first performance. After that I realized it didn’t matter if I ironed or not, so I stopped.

This is beyond wild. No I don’t iron their clothes for school. My elementary kid wears bike shorts and tshirts, the teens are in jeans and tshirts or athleisure. None of this needs ironing.

I do iron clothes for recitals, performances, graduations, concerts and such, pretty much anytime dress pants, button up shirts, more formal dresses are involved I’ll iron.

I iron my own clothes sometimes, but never the tshirts. That is overkill.

Does your child wear a school uniform?

T-shirts get smoothed when they are warm out of the dryer. Show your daughter how to put the shirt of the day in the dryer for five minutes and then smooth it. Stop with the ironing. No tee is going to be ironed down within five minutes of being worn.

T shirts? No. Clothes fur the club, yes. Let her do it herself. I wouldn’t not be ironing t shirts unless they were my own and I line dried them.

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to iron it all once a week?

T shirts he!! no

I do iron my kid’s mass outfit because it’s basically church clothes. He’s 15 and I probably will have to do this through high school. He would gladly go wrinkled but he’d probably be against dress code if he did. That ironing I don’t mind doing but it’s the only ironing I do.

Old and small house with minimal closet space necessitates ironing for us.

Don’t iron my own clothes
