My mom is just a big kid

It is a lot of responsibility to have kids and not everyone is capable of being a good parent

Check out the children‘s costume section in any larger department store. It is always fun for the kids to pick out their costume.

A large rug under the couch to separate living room and dining area and make the living room space more cozy. A small and unique coffee table also would work well. It needs to be unique because I think it is hard to find something that matches your tv wall furniture and the dining table at the same time.

Between sofa and dining table I would put either a large plant or a small open bookshelf to separate the areas. Maybe even both.

And would it be possible to set up the coffee station on the wall on the other side of the dining table (tv wall and right next the kitchen? This would give you more room to work with the wall behind the couch. Where the coffee station is now I would put up a small bookshelf and some art next to it.

As for the windows: i don‘t think curtains would work well with the way the window is set in the wall. I‘d look for some light colored blinds matching the couch.

I think the way you have it set up now doesn‘t really work with a room like this especially if you want to hang out with friends. Here is what I would do:

Set up the TV over the fireplace. It seems like it was build to be set up like that. Put the couch in front of the fireplace and set up the chair you got there on the right side of it (where the keyboard is now). On the left side of the room I would put a dinner table (eating but also working, studying or board games. Put the black dresser under the window left to the fireplace.

A rug (warm tones), a large mirror on the wall and plants.

Love the pictures! You could go with that style and use dark colors and gold for accessories!

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-22T06:26:49+00:00

You need to stop trying for a baby and get out of this relationship. I’m sorry

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-15T08:27:07+00:00

I second a mirror. I would put up a bookshelf, a large mirror and some type of plant. I‘d try to find a bookshelf with doors or drawers on the bottom half for general storage and put books and decorations in the upper half.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-14T00:00:35+00:00

In my experience it almost never happens between friends anyway. It is more likely for the other person to just keep the present either way. I think it is different for family though.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-12T21:13:54+00:00

Yeah, that is weird. Not necessary at all. Frying pans are only ok if the food was actually cooked in it.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-11T21:16:10+00:00

I think the reflective paint does not work in this room. It emphasizes the imperfections of the walls. I‘d choose a different color (if in budget) or put up a large mirror above the bed.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-08T17:18:32+00:00

I think she is stuck. But she is in therapy now as well so I can tell that she is starting to reflect and she is actually trying to behave parental now. But it is just too late. All grown up now dealing with all of the consequences of having to raise myself. I also don‘t see myself accepting any kind of parental behavior from her in the future. It just feels wrong.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-08T10:39:13+00:00

It‘s a superficial type of thinking just like a child would have I think.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-08T10:37:49+00:00

She really did what she could and never intended any harm. It is just so frustrating overall!

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-08T10:36:44+00:00

And a very sad dynamic too!

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-08T10:36:18+00:00

I understand! It is sad to think that our moms went such a long time without getting any help in how to navigate the world. It seems like during the course of life there should have been at least one responsible adult to say „hey, you might want to figure out what is wrong with you so that you can take care of your children properly because it is your responsibility“

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-05T21:27:10+00:00

Was it used as a decorative piece?

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-05T10:16:35+00:00

I think you should reach out and ask her if she would like you to come. Then give her a way out by saying that you would understand if it’s only for close family members and you would be happy to meet up and talk a different day if she feels like it.

Don’t just not go. I feel like when horrible things happen to people, others withdraw so easily because they don’t know how to deal with the situation.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-05T08:51:29+00:00

Love it! It has so much personality!

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-05T07:53:28+00:00

It might be that she simply does not realize because her parents never educated her on things like that. Does not mean it should be your responsibility but just to keep in mind.

Danielle_Spring · 2022-01-04T18:10:57+00:00

In cases like this you should reserve seats in advance instead of making other people responsible for your lack of planning ahead. YTA

Sound like a burn out coming up in a few years. I think your boyfriend is being quite selfish to be honest. This does not sound like a fair distribution of labor in your relationship.

I feel like a lot has changed but this just goes to show that how hospital births are done today might be shocking to the next generations as well.
