1. I ironed when we were first married, but it has fallen by the wayside since then. But back then I did enjoy watching a movie while ironing. 🙂

2. I just don't do it. If it doesn't improve my quality of life, I don't worry about it.

3. I love to do dishes, but this was not always the case. I try to look at it as a blessing. When I begin to say I hate to ______, I instead say, "I'm so blessed to have dishes that need to be washed. We need to wash them, because we had pleanty of food to eat. If we had no food, we would have no dishes to wash."

   It works that way for every not so fun chore. Eventually you will learn to love all your homemaking chores if you try my technique.

4. I have no suggestions for ironing, but I seriously want to come visit you for a month and have you teach me how to do everything you do…especially your food stuff. You're so efficient and organized. You're basically SUPER WIFE/MOM. Be glad I don't live in Utah or I would come pester you all the time.

5. emptying the dishwasher. it has become my oldest daughter's eternal chore, usually twice each day. if i sound like a spoiled brat, we never had a dishwasher growing up so i was raised doing dishes the old fashioned way! i also hate mopping the kitchen floor.

6. Ironing is one of those chores that takes so long and so I put it off until it basically never gets done. Friday is my ironing day but I could not tell you the last time I actually ironed on Friday.
   I know of one person who gave her husband an ironing hook and whenever he hung something there she would pledge to have it ironed for him by the next morning.
   I thought about doing that but then thought I'd better not make such a pledge…

7. Knits don't need ironing. That's why most of my clothes are knits. 🙂 And if something comes out of the dryer wrinkled and someone doesn't want it wrinkled it goes back in with a wet washcloth to dry again to get the wrinkles out. 🙂 That's lazy ironing. hehehe

8. I didn't used to iron my husbands shirts for work (or anything else for that matter) due to so many other chores to do during the day. So I ironed only things that really needed it. Then it struck me that ironing his shirts was my way of taking care of him and making him look good. It was something I could do for him because he does so much for me. So every few days now, I iron his shirts and all of our things. Which reminds me, I better get to it!

9. i don't iron much at all…we are very much a t-shirt and jean kind of family…i iron my fabrics if i need REALLY straight lines (making curtains or quilting)…my chores would be folding laundry (there is always SO much of it, having a family of 8 and all) and washing dishes, there are always a lot of those too for the very same reason there is always a lot of laundry to fold

10. My least favorite homecaring tasks usually involve cleaning areas with hair and/or dust mixing together. Followed closely by cleaning the base of the toilets. This doesn't necessarily make the tasks more pleasant, but I offer them up to the Lord.

    As far as ironing, I'm very fortunate that my mother LOVES to iron, with a passion. And she also lives with us. So she does our ironing!
