Ok, I brought up ironing...gosh..I always had to iron 10 pieces of clothes EVERYDAY after getting home from school when I was a kid(and I thought my dads shirt AND pants were the biggest things in the world!)..boy..did I hate ironing..but it was to teach me..thank goodness for permanent press..although most of what I buy or own now still requires what I don't want to do!! But now, it's not quite the "chore!" TM
