When I saw the ladies of hive question for the week, I didn't have to read till the end of the question before I screamed out loud IRONING.
Here is what the question says
We all have chores or tasks that we abhor doing! If you're like most folks, you will put off that dreaded job as long as possible. What is the absolute most dreaded chore/task that you must do?
IRONING.IRONING. IRONING
Before I go further to explain why I can not stand ironing would love to invite @omosefe and @Tosanscott to join the ladies of hive communityif she hasn't and I would love to know your answer to any of the questions for the week.
So back to why I do not like ironing at all!!!
I am a cleaning enthusiast, I am sure I must have mentioned that before, washing dish, cleaning bathroom and toilet, organizing my house, sweeping and mopping, name them I love to do them even cooking so when it comes to the domestic tasks I am super hand on and ready anytime to take up the task except for one particular Task. ironing clothes.
I think this whole detest for ironing started from my secondary school days I.e High school where I started in a boarding school. Our uniform then were pleated skirts and shirts. Ironing a pleated skirt can be the most annoying thing because the pleats are tiny and a lot so u have to iron each line one after the other and I had to do this every day because I was in my uniform daily.

It was the most annoying thing ever ironing that skirt and to top it up as a class 1 student you get to iron the senior student clothes for them, and you can't even say no just because they are a few classes higher or older. so imagine ironing 3-4 pleated skirts daily and it has to be ironed into perfection to avoid revisiting the ironing room.
It was exhausting. Thank Goodness the school has changed their uniform to a straight skirt, I can imagine the student there now will be so relieved.
Luckily I changed school and in new next school, we had one laundry lady who help with ironing for a small price so I just give them my clothes to iron. Even back at home, my sister does the ironing if she is not in I take our clothes to the dry cleaners for ironing, they are the one service provided I don't take for granted.
Now being married, my husband loves his clothes ironed, even to his singlet and briefs sometimes and he has been doing it by himself way before we met each other, and he still does it. He already understands how much I hate ironing so he even helps out with my baby's clothes and mine too even when I don't see any need for ironing.
I always tell people I don't like ironing when I see them ironing or when they tell me they are about to iron over the phone. I have a friend that even goes further to say how relaxing and therapeutic ironing van be .
Like how?? Ironing that the heat alone causes sweating and exhaustion or is there another type of ironing I don't know about?
this look is for everyone that loves ironing, well done o.
Maybe I am alone in my Opinion about ironing or Not? Do you hate ironing as much as I do?
