Modern man, traditional values
by MarkJT @ 10 Apr. 2007 - 20:12:31

I know it sounds silly but even though I’m married with children I like my independence.

Before I settled down I lived by myself and was comfortable cooking, cleaning, shopping and ironing for myself. I still do all of those things now.

Tonight, my eldest daughter wanted to learn how to iron. So there we were. I was teaching my daughter how to iron!

You know how it is; “Collar first, now sleeves. Splash of water to get rid of the creases…..”

Then my two other daughters wanted to get involved. They had a go too. Imagine it! A father showing his daughters how to iron shirts.

They can do their own knickers though.

My father knew how to do all of these things as well. He was a better cook than my mom. Your girls will have the same expectations when they look for partners. It's difficult, for me, to tolerate helpless guys. I'm sure they will find that an issue as well.

My grandad taught me how to knit.

My nan taught me how to build a brick wall.

I thought you ironed the yoke/yolk (i get confused with shirts and eggs) and then the collar ... sleeves ... back ... front ...

Oh ... PS ... I wish my other half cooked, cleaned, shopped and ironed ...
