Sleepy , wake up . Where have u been ?I don't really care. But I think kids do somewhat prefer their uniforms being ironed. Ironing schedule is once a week. If missed that ironing schedule or somehow run out of ironed uniforms by mid week then just wear un-ironed ones lor, so long uniforms are clean and fresh. No biggie if not ironed.
Kids will only freak out if I asked them to dig out unwashed uniforms from laundry basket because I forgot to wash their PE shirt. Not often lah. This might happen once or twice a year. My bad -

[quote=\"MrsKiasu\"]dd2 could iron her uniforms on her own. it is me who over help her..that's what my dh says. true la, i dont deny it. i have to let it go....
:scared: your k2 girl?
Okay i am totally chicken mum when it comes to hot stuff - iron, boiling water etc. I have seen what they can do to tender young skin and my stomach just flip flop when i see them near these things. I guess i don't even totally trust myself handling all these things. Ds1 only started ironing when he is taller than me (but not often lah).
Mrsks, iron is heavy lei - I cannot handle for long, tiring lei
But but, if I still have helper - I ask for ironed clothes , uniform n clean white sch shoes daily . -
DH ever put on wet uniform on DS when he was in Primary 4 :faint: I was overseas at that time. It didn't occur to DH to iron the uniform until it is dry :slapshead: Luckily DS didn't fall sick.
Anyway, DS is brainwashed to have his uniform ironed. He knows how to iron since sec 1. -
mp, i only used about 10mins or the most 15mins to iron dd1 uniforms for the week…in between preparing breakfast usually Mon morning. dd1 needs more than half an hour if do it herself .usually night time i always rush them to bed at 8+. so difficult to wait for her finished the job on sun night. next time must get her do it earlier.

I see, as we are both working , we ironed one whole week clothes at one go - really killing !
That's the benefit of stay home mum, can have more time to teach children to do chores . But I find ironing is a in borned
skill - when u need to do it, you will know how to - just need to be careful of temp set ( logical thinking skill set in ) -
Nebbermind:
Ironed school uniform is a must for me...uniform just have to be proper
uniforms MUST be ironed. it is so unsightly when the student is wearing a uniform which is crumpled...embarrass me as the parent and the school when he/she walks out of the house.
fortunately i don't have the habit of ironing bed sheet, tees and jeans. so when the clothes are done, have to pull tees straight when wet so that they won't be crumpled. so folding plays a part.
i don't want my iron to be dropped which will cause me to buy a new one. good irons now are mostly made in china. mine is made in france. -

my stove is built low…which is just wonderful because even daughter can see what’s cooking.
when frying, the arms don’t get tired easily.
if need hot water, 1 minute in the microwave oven. never boiled water in kettle since switching to filter.
for household chores, daughter knows how to fold clothes the way i want it…they are good at handling air fryer when they want a snack, so i buy chicken nuggets/popcorn, honey wings & fries to put in the freezer.
