Does any one remember when Tuesday was the day you were suppose to iron! Monday was wash day and Tuesday was ironing and I can't remember what we were suppose to do the rest of the week!! I know I was always busy!
This is over 50 years ago! I do know my Mom went by all the days of the week what you were suppose to accomplish on each day. I think when we all started using washers and dryers in the 60 's is when this started fading out some.....
When I married the kids' Dad in the fifty's we starched everything. We would buy a box of faultless starch and stir it and cook it and then dip the clothes in it, rinse them and hang them up to dry outdoors which wasn't so bad in the spring and summer or fall but winter it was a mess!
I remember hanging every thing in a bed room up stairs that we had nailed lines to the walls. This was in the 60's ! I for one was so tickled when Niagara came out with there easy cold water starch!! Then it was spray starch and I thought this was out of this world!!
By the late 60's I had a washer and a dryer and life got a little easier. I had a wringer washer before then and we were limited on the water we could use from our indoor source, so I had to pump the water from a well outdoors and heat the water then wash all the clothes and hang them out to dry!!
I for one was tickled pink when we moved to town and had a washer and dryer and some where along the way we stopped all the starching etc!! I don't do much ironing any more!! I just make sure every thing new doesn't have to have ironing done!
Okay, my grand kids think I am from the olden days! Mother's now days have it harder in a different way trying to work, take care of their homes and children and their husbands! Or it can even get harder and some women are single parents and whoa, that's hard too!
