Hah! I grew up ironing every damn thing. We ironed sheets, work
shirts, work pants. I swear, we even ironed rags AND FOLDED THEM.

The only part of this that has stuck with me is folding underwear. I
also hang up other clothes so that they don't wrinkle. I don't do a
lot of ironing though. It's hard, but I've learned to just wear the
damn clothes because no one notices.
