When I was in the army ironing was something that you had to be good at - or spend a lot of time doing extra duties as punishment for sloppy creases
It's something I have never had an issue doing, and I can do all the clothes for the family for that day in the time it takes Elaine to have her shower.
My dad is the same. Army did it to him too. Major advantage having him in the house, but he was SOOOOO particular about our appearance I am sure he would have done a touch up iron with the clothes on us if he could.
I recall being horrified as a teenager when I got out the shower to go out and discovered that he had removed my jeans from my bed and ironed them .... with creases down the front 

I also discovered my expensive "ripped" jeans in the trash. He thought the dog had got hold of them. He couldn't seem to understand that it cost me extra money to buy them with holes and rips in them. 

). We both eat our breakfast then he gets showered, shaved etc whilst i make sure we have everything we need for the day.
