I am now officially "whipped".

We ordered a new clothes iron a few days ago. It came yesterday. My words this morning to my wife:

"Hey, my new iron came!"

She almost died laughing. :eyes:

1. As Laura Petrie would say: "Oh, Robb!"

That *is* pretty funny, you gender-roles-bender you. :)

12. Our roles are actually pretty well defined

...with alarming specificity.

Mrs. Robb: main breadwinner, financial matters, cleans bathrooms, refills wine glasses, kills spiders.

Me: non-bathroom housekeeping, laundry, animal care, opens wine, produces coffee in the morning, cooking / lunch packing, yard work.

6. That's not whipped...that's teamwork and partnership and not worrying

about someone else's rigidly defined gender roles...
Have a great day...watch the soaps while you iron, it helps *lol*

7. I CAN TOP YOU ROBB

MY wife took ME last weekend and BOUGHT ME all the pasta attachments for MY Kitchenaid Stand Mixer.

SHE put all of them on HER credit card. THEN she took ME to the gourmet Kitchen store so SHE could buy ME a new RAVIOLI CUTTER!

i took HER to lunch afterwards :D

20. hmm you sound like my husband

he is the one with the Cuisinart - I got it for him for X-mas. He uses it all the time. He is also a better cook ( makes great curries) and better at cleaning the kitchen too!

Happy cooking - so the little climber should be wearing his cook's togs then -

9. My wife refuses to iron

That was one of the reasons I married her. However, she does take out the trash, oh yeah, there was that whole childbirth thing too. As far as ironing, I get my stuff laundered.

10. Just for the record...

I watch Comedy Central or Discovery Channel or listen to my Industrial Strength CDs while ironing. But that's just me.

Hey, I wash and dry all the laundry for both me and my wife - complete with stain remover, dryer sheets, even a little fabric softener once in a while. You're not whipped. Trust me on this one.

16. I'm glad to see there is someone else out there

who isn't afraid to iron. I hate wrinkles so even after I get my clothes back from the cleaners I like to give em a little touch up before I wear em. :-)

18. I iron much better than Mrs. kmla. Just a fact of life...

Edited on Thu Mar-11-04 11:27 AM by kmla

She does the laundry (her idea, not mine.)

Most of her clothes are permanent press. However, I like to wear cotton slacks (khakis, mostly), and all cotton dress shirts (long sleeved - because there is no such thing as a "short-sleeved dress shirt", IMHO).

I iron my own shirts, and dry clean the slacks. Love the creases that dry cleaning provides...

23. "no such thing as a short-sleeved dress shirt"

That's JUST the kind of attitude that's kept me out of NASA all these years! ;)

19. An iron?

What the hell is this newfangled contraption of which you speak?

Kimchi don't iron. She throws wrinkled item back into dryer for a few minutes.

24. My husband learned to iron in the Marine Corps

so he's pretty good at it. When ironing needs to be done, he does it. I don't know how - never learned, never wanted to. If people don't like my wrinkly clothes, who asked 'em to look at me, anyway? Sometimes John will insist on ironing my clothes before he'll let me step out the door in them, though. ;-)
