The iron rarely makes an appearance here, so no, my bloke don't iron!
He does help out with everything else, which is wonderful.
Except he will not clean up any animal upchucks!
He'll willingly clean a stinky fish though!

Tony never in all our married life changed a nappy and he never washed a pot until he retired. We just both took it for granted - he did his thing & I did mine.
It never bothered me - he did the garden and all the DIY jobs. It's only recently I took an interest in the garden..
When he retired of course it all changed. I taught him to cook simple meals and put a load of washing in the machine. He also does all the hovering and is charge of the dishwasher. He couldn't iron - I don't make him.
My son is a modern man - he irons, washes, changes nappies - the lot. He also works full time.
How times have changed!!
"Hovering"? You taught your husband to levitate, Carol?
Always have done the ironing especially my shirts, cook every Sunday and every other week day.
I have spent the last couple of weeks dusting, vacuuming and polishing, Mrs Rehab is a bit poorly so I am working under guidance. Even when Mrs Rehab is ok I tend to do the stuff I am qualified for, bathroom and toilets and the cooker...I don’t touch that white machine that goes round and round and makes a lot of noise, it looks dangerous and complicated so I steer away from it.
Dear Rehab, I had to read that twice! My own fault for skimming through it.
I thought you said "Always have done the ironing, especially my SKIRTS."
Apologies my sweet.
