Practice makes perfect if you want to become better at household duties just keep at it I’m not very good myself but I find a “good enough” attitude is better than perfectionism if you stress about getting things right all the time you’ll be less inclined to continue to try. Cooking and cleaning are skills just like painting or sport the more you practice the better you become and everyone’s skill level will be different your worth as a wife, mother, or women in general isn’t determined by what you can provide for other people
PREACH @Belle !
Wrt to ironing, i got very lazy with it over the years n dont do a good job that hubby never asks but is always surprised to see me do… generally he does some ironing for me too as i think he finds it embarrassing to be out with my rough looking clothes 😅 if ur worried about expensive ironing, maybe ask him to show you how first time
Girl you could be my mirror. I struggle so hard and feel so inadequate. When you mentioned the part about his mom it especially touched home. I love my MIL but she is definitely a better cook than I am
If you take really hot steamy showers, hang the shirt up in the bathroom and usually (not all the time) it'll get the wrinkles out. I'll do this like the day before the shirt is needed
Even the ones that are good at things had disasters first. Thats how we learn!
Just get it dry cleaned. Problem solved
My mom wasn't the teaching type I don't know how to wear makeup, and etc that other people do as for cooking we lived off of chips and soup cups but videos are a life saver and as for cooking go with what feels right that's what I do and everyone usually always wants me to cook 😅🤦♀️ or asks me how you will get there eventually take one thing at a time and couldn't hurt to ask i didn't want to at first but he reassured me that it was okay he knew my background and made me love him even more
I would just take it to the dry cleaner rather than risk ruining a nice shirt
Does he normally wash and iron himself? Or is this going to be your job going forward? 🤔
@Annie I feel like I’m just winging it sometimes lol. And he’s so sweet. It can be something as simple as “oh ur making so and so? My mom makes that too and it’s one of my favorites!” And right then and there I’m like time to order Chinese 😂
@Mee yes he does everything himself. He asked me because he’s working today and has an important event after work at 5pm and I have his suit here that I was supposed to get dry cleaned last week but I was so busy I didn’t get around to it. 🤦♀️
I followed the tag and washed and dried it last night. I washed on delicate with warm water (like the tag said), tumble dry on low (like the tag said), hit the setting for wrinkle control, and prayed for the best lol. Pulled the shirt out, it has some wrinkles. Read the tag again it says “non iron shirt.” 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
Downy wrinkle release spray or spritz it with a water bottle and put it back in the dryer, and immediately hang it up when you take it out. I don't have an iron so that's what I use and do
You can learn a lot on YouTube University. Just give yourself grace and keep practicing the things you want to improve. Don’t pressure yourself, especially if future hubby isn’t. I think it’s sweet if he shares in your journey with you and supports you but at the end of the day, you should really do it for you though
