Advice on ironing fitted sheets?

The only advantage to ironing sheets is that they are neater to store. Beat thing to do is take 2 corners and hang them on your fists, then hook the other 2 corners over so they fit one over the other if you know what I mean. Just fold up the sheet in 2 and run the iron over it. Then fold it again and iron and that's it really.You will never get it perfectly crease free, but it is better than nothing I guess.

Sorry hun, but I agree with the above posters. Life is too short to iron sheets which will wrinkle the minute you get into bed anyway. Obviously your other half's mum looked after him far too well and he needs a dose of reality.

Some of the polycotton sheets available do not crease too much when washed. Get them out on the line on a windy day, or dry them in the tumble dryer with a sheet of Bounce, and he'll never know the difference.

Then spend the time you've saved on the ironing doing something nice for yourself and the baby.

fitted sheets are the worse but ur best off not ironing them because by the time they have been stretched over the bed they wont need ironing. im at home every day with one kid at school and a 7 months old i manage to do all the housework and it still looks a mess. if he was my o/h and he wanted the sheets ironed i would say do it urself.

When the question is "What sort of gift might the couple appreciate?" then the answer should include several options. "They are registered at Burdine's" isn't adequate; some people simply do not like registries and want to choose a gift on their own. "They enjoy bicycling, they collect antique coins, they are registered at Burdine's, and they welcome contributions to the honeymoon fund" gives these generous askers a variety of options, which is more gracious than "Here's a list; choose something from it." When creating a seating chart, close knits groups are ruthlessly separated. The goal is to seat each person with 7 strangers or near strangers. If you have 18 tables, then seat one member of this group at each. The idea of a seating chart to create a group of 8 people who do not know each other well and will introduce themselves and become acquainted over dinner. If Mrs. Munoz and Mr. Goldberg are dinner partners, then after the meal they should do their social duty and introduce Mr. Munoz to Mrs. Goldberg. Miss Manners says that families presumably share meals frequently, and attend social events in order to see new faces across the table. If they want to sit together for dinner, they why didn't they stay home? I have received 'hate mail' on this. Please direct the hate mail to Judith Martin (Miss Manners) and not to me; I'm just the messenger. These two generous ladies should be accommodated. It would look mean and snotty to tell them "I'm not interested unless you're planning to buy me something that *I* really want; I suspect your taste is poor and I don't want anything you select for me." The hosts have the right previewing and then either welcoming or kindly declining any offers to read, sing, recite, etc. You should be happy that with the bachelor party being planned in such a way that you know where everyone is, and have a pretty good idea that no nasty shenanigans are taking place. While spouses should not have SECRET friendships, most will have friendships that are only peripheral to the spouse. Being jealous of fishing trips, poker nights, etc, is not a path to happy marriage. If you know who he is with, what he is doing, and that you are welcome to drop in unannounced at any time, then you are a lucky woman and should not ask for more unless he is leaving you home alone every night, every weekend. Have the Groom tell Best Man that he has to choose between being around or not being around. Take care of the pregnancy related matters and arrive appropriately dressed just before the ceremony. Or participate in the pre-wedding activities with the rest of the groomsmen. But no dashing about trying to multi task and have it both ways. You keep out of this one. Ask the Groom to clarify that the 'getting ready' is for daddies and groomsmen only, not for spouses or children.

You really must have far too much time on your hands if you can iron fitted sheets. It's a total waste of time - who sees them? And they get all crumpled anyway so why bother? I only iron what I really have to like jeans and shirts. Life's too short to iron pants, socks, tea towels, sheets etc.

Fold the fitted sheet in half and tuck one corner inside the other, then (assuming you're right handed) put the folded sheet in front of you with the fold at your right and the corners on you left with the board pointy bit inside, iron like that and slide it upwards every time you get a section done.

As said above easiest to iron when on the bed. Another trick, if you have spare ones, put freshly laundered one folded up (as well as you can fold a fitted sheet) underneath a big stack of bedding/towels/whatever and put in the cupboard. By next week they will be fairly smooth.

sorry but ironing sheets is a complete waste of anyone's time. If he likes them ironed so much, irrespective of whether he is at work, tell him to do it. You have a baby and all the other stuff to do undoubtedly.

sorry but surely the people who say iron them when they are on the bed are kidding.

Ive never ironed a sheet in my life!!! What is the point when youre just going to lie on it!!

My advice... Don't be a fool. Fitted sheets stretch tightly on the mattress. That is the biggest waste of time. Take that time and put it to good use, like napping or playing with your baby.
