MrsKiasu:
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 ) -

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. -
MrsKiasu:
omg, what had i typed..no la, dd1 not dd2. dd2 still drink milk from milk bottle :rotflmao:[/quote]ammonite:
[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).

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. -
MyPillow:
i dont remember teaching dd1 ironing. i usually iron while she is still sleeping or doing other things..think she should have asked me how to turn on the iron and then i told her not to leave the iron on the uniform for too long so as not to leave burn marks and also iron the uniform terbalik as sometimes when iron is too hot will leave uneven color on the suface of ironed clothes.. also to leave the iron resting on the table so that it wont drop so easily..iron board can be quite wobbly. she makes coffee for me and she cooked noodles using stove when i was too busy. she wili come and asked me la.. like this or like that arh..I usually tell her what to watch out for..think i m letting off my guard too much alsoMrsKiasu:

not too bad and rather exciting. i find episode 1 very sad...instead of a happy ending, all 5 UCs died in an explosion.
