However, her mother-in-law frequently complains about her refusal to iron her son’s clothes, despite the son never expressing any issue about this matter himself.

Tell mother in law to mind her own business.

That'll work.

This is news?

[Card]

If this errant behaviour spreads there'll be no more farang husbands for the likes of her 

[Olav Seglem]

Maybe she should get a new mother in law and what goes with it.

Normally a husband would "set his mother right" if she bullies his wife :-)

 

[Bazerino]

What's this world coming too! Next she'll be refusing to cut his fingers & toenails........

[ignore it]

She probably doesn't press the bed sheets with him either.

You do know where we are right?

A Thai male setting mother right... Jeez

[tandor]

probably had stubborn semen stains  

[Cutty Shark]

With both of them working, it would be worth it just to use a laundry service on the pieces of clothing that required ironing.  They could "rough it" with all other articles of clothing like underwear, T-shirts, socks, plus bedding.

I have no clothes that need ironing if i did then i could do it anyway.For a wife not the end of the world not to iron clothes.Cooking is probadly more important

[ozimoron]

If I ever choose a partner based on her willingness to iron clothes or ability to cook, just shoot me.

Let's start at the beginning... How much was the simsod... Then we can conduct a rudimentary cost benefit analysis of the situation. 

 

Though I don't see a situation where long term leasing beats short term rentals.

65,000 per month...you're confused with RV extension maybe!

My Thai wife irons my clothes but one would never know it by looking at them. I've gotten to be quite the good ironer over the years 

[blazes]

My second wife used to refer to this sort of stuff as "unpaid labour in the home".  (Needless to say, a classic Western feminist.)

 

My third wife does an excellent job on my t-shirts.

[expat_4_life]

It always starts with the ironing or some other inane thing ...

Next thing you know she won't make you a sandwich or bring you a beer

[Zack61]

1997, I think, was the last time an iron was used on my clothes. 

[jvs]

This is Iron man,a mans man.Iron woman is a command!

[Dart12]

Very misandry lead headline.  "Nagging Mother". 

Why not, "loving mother helps daughter in law how to have a long and lasting marriage"?

It's all about framing and perspective.

lol

Ironing 

One of the first things you are taught in the British Forces, I even do my own Shreddies.

Saved me getting a wife 

[kingstonkid]

After 27 years in military I do my own ironing. I actually find it relaxing 

[Spamhead]

Just sounds like the MIL spoiling for a fight. A good advert if it were ever needed not to live with or near  In-Laws.

[Almer]

Not having all the facts makes it hard to comment, but, is the wife the bread winner working away and is the mother in law looking after her grand  children,

[Almer]

Thai ladies in general are not the best house keepers but you never see a child going to schooll looking less than impecable. IMHO

[Brick Top]

I had that same problem once with my girlfriend so I bought her an iron for her birthday 

[brianthainess]

I very confused what is an Iron anyway? Must be that thing my Mrs. drags out once a year before I go to Immigration.

My wife insists on ironing my clothes even if I insist she doesn’t have to. I’m forbidden to wear unironed clothes.
