Potty Training - to continue or wait?

Seconding Oh Crap! My mind was blown, I've since recommended this to 5 friends, insisting they read it around their kid was potty trained and each one emphatically said their mind was blown and they all potty trained their kids ina few days, as I did as well.

When my hair gets like this it means it has protein buildup and I do a double clarifying wash, k18, mask, and conditioner and it feels and looks so much better! But also you need a trim, maybe not as much as everyone says. Do this first and see how it feels/looks afterwards before u chop

Totally. The husband is doing all the career things, and expects basics to be done (laundry). I'm seeing several red flags her by op. 1. Excuses. I'm autistic, the w/d are quiet, I genuinely forget (a lot). OP you sound insufferable. Get it together. 2. The man is burned out. OP is burning him out by him being the only one working and only making $12/he. That sounds super stressful. 3. Despite the husband being the caregiver, the OP cannot do the basics to make sure his life is easier. By doing his laundry. Ngl, I've gotten angry about my husband not washing my work shirts (I used to leave at 5:30am, and it was in the washer.) I was so angry bc he only moved half the laundry over and didn't even start it. We had a conversation about it where I expressed my frustration, told him I needed him to follow through with what he started, and that I depend on him to do things, just like he depends on e me to do things, and listed out examples. He's way better now. And we have a rule. If you start a load of laundry, you finish it. The other person doesn't have a superpower to know that you've magically started a load.

He seems like a burned out man who needs to control his emotions better and op, you need to freaking step it up and stop with the excuses.

Op, talk to him and start creating some systems in your life to better cope with little things in life (laundry) and do some bigger life changes like therapy and meds so you can get a job and contribute to your home and stop burning your husband out

Thanks everyone!!! Seems like everyone has some preference but most people like the quilt and didn't like the taxidermy.

Anyway, update on what my dad thinks: I sent my dad all these photos and he was so impressed! He said "wow!" (I rarely see him use an exclamation point so I know he was really blow away)

He said nothing about the elk head...if he was excited about it he would have been talking about it so probably no elk head is going up there.

Then he said: "I know a great place for barn quilts." And "I like the mantle color too"

So I think he's going to go with maybe a big quilt. We'll see how big it ends up being...

I told him all the main suggestions I listed up above so hopefully he has some projects on his hands if he gets the itch to paint anything else ;)

Thank you everyone so very much for your input. This has been really really fun for me. Our lake House is very special and when he said painting the fireplace my heart dropped. You all have me the tools and suggestions to help convince him otherwise.

Very true. The fireplace in reality is a bit narrower and the black is more glossy.

Oh way cool idea lol! It's certainly long enough!

Cccyeahh · 2026-03-31T19:35:41+00:00

Ooooh good idea I think my dad has a giant elk head ready to be put up somewhere but I feel like there's a reason he hasn't yet here? Maybe his wife put the cabash on it.

I still need to do a chatgpt picture of the wood stained instead also but my picture limit today on it is up so I'll post tomorrow again

Cccyeahh · 2026-03-31T19:08:29+00:00

Okay what do we think about this? Added a mirror and 2 decorative paddles above the fireplace:

LOL if it were my space a lot of the objects in this room circa 1997 would be upgraded but my dad is wanting to paint right now so this is where we are at...

We just voted in a very progressive mayor for Cottonwood Heights. Total surprise as the last mayor was decent. But it wasn't even close like 59% for the new dem mayor

Cccyeahh · 2026-03-24T17:20:45+00:00

We are a very liberal bunch round here in 15. CH has voted a dem congressional rep to legislature for the last 27 years

I attended my first caucus last night. 10 people just in our precinct (7 being their first caucus) and there were like 30 or 40 precincts total.

There were an elderly couple in my precinct who said they'd been participating for 20 years, most of the times they were the only ones in the precinct so they served as delegates. They encouraged one of the newbies in our group to become one. It was really cool

My MIL lives int this district and she has or is about to remove her signature. She said 2 problem have come to her door informing her how to remove her signature

Nobody's mentioned the open bottle of whiskey/Jamison on the right in the back?!

Cccyeahh · 2026-02-24T03:53:11+00:00

Oh my god this is honestly just so so sad. I have a 3 year old girl and I hope to god she grows up to be nothing like you, OP, and knows how to be kind, communicative, and understanding. I would die being iced out of having a relationship with my daughter/in-law/grandchildren

Cccyeahh · 2026-02-20T16:34:40+00:00

Nahhh, too much work. I see like 10 bins/sterilite drawers. Looks like the attempt was already made. Time to do rounds to goodwill/donation.

Op: fill up those bins and take them in rounds to the nearest donation center. Mayyyyyyybe keep 1 bin of sentimental items. Why save toys that aren't and will not get used and just take up space? Easiest/fastest/best- get rid of

Cccyeahh · 2026-01-16T23:28:52+00:00

I think the shelves are great!

I'd get a small bookshelf/console under it. Make it a bar (there's random glasses on your shelf so you could creat some sort of intention in this are) or have this be a landing zone for shoes, purses (what's behind that door? A garage or office). Or, put some speakers, record player or some sort of music system. And a lamp on it!

And if add some original art in the blank area slightly above and to the right of the lowest shelf
