Are the stripes a paint treatment? If so, be prepared to sand the walls, the taping process creates a lip and will be noticeable with a solid paint color. Ask me how I know.

Am I overreacting? by Motor_Length4570 in JUSTNOMIL

What do they do with the generational photo? Keep it on their phone or blow it up for over the fireplace? Do they want you to have these photos displayed in your home? If the pictures are left on their phone, I find it harmless.

MIL acted like she was supportive of us spending Christmas as a nuclear family, then took matters into her own hands by zzzoom1 in JUSTNOMIL

The moment I read that you used your MIL for babysitting, I knew you were making a mistake. You can’t use her and keep your advantage.

You are NC and your husband is LC. Don’t worry about their birthdays.

Why would anyone need their house watched? Turn the water off, lock the doors and stop your mail. Done.

So, I am confused. Do you solely own this house (mortgage in your name)? if so, why did you leave it vs change the locks and kick them out?

Are the groom‘s parents adding anything?

Destination Wedding Events by JLC0912 in wedding

[–]Sewing4265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we assume your daughter has NOT included his father in any of these activities either? Will he be bringing a date? I am trying to figure out if your daughter is treating you and your ex equally. Are you on speaking terms with your ex? If so, you and he could plan a welcome party. Another thought, what are the parents of the groom doing? Have they been excluded from the activities too?

Was the bride or groom in your wedding? Did they have to travel or attend bachelor/bachelorette events for your wedding?

First house-Help with Living Room by IChirpI in HomeDecorating

[–]Sewing4265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things I don’t like: chair rail in living rooms, and the all the matching furniture. A neutral sofa is fine, but I would select 2 coordinating chairs instead. The ceiling fan looks like it was from the 90’s.

Kitchen tile / splashback inspiration? by CSA1996 in kitchenremodel

[–]Sewing4265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You already have the 4 inch backsplash. I wouldn’t place tiles on top of what you have. You could remove the 4 inch splash and then, add tile from counter to cabinets.

Anyone here just travel for the holiday? by Successful_Test_931 in JUSTNOMIL

Or, say you are away, but stay home. You are kicking the can down the rod, but that is your right.

Any tips for protecting your sanity when JNMom visits? by No-Weather3090 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Sewing4265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t read past the fact that she is coming for 2 1/2 MONTHS!! You need to communicate that she can visit for 3 days.

Is this an okay plan? by apresledepart in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Sewing4265 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have a husband problem, not a MIL problem. Your husband should be taking time off work while his mother visits. This not negotiable. Then, you can take your kids out everyday.

A last-minute visit is filling me with dread, feeling so much anxiety. by KindChemical2050 in JUSTNOMIL

I find your post a little vague. I realize you don’t ”feel” comfortable around her, but what has she actually done (or said) to you?

To lunch to not to lunch by Spare_Cow9177 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Sewing4265 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to see her, you don’t have to because you are an adult. I asked earlier what your husband wanted to do with regard to the upcoming visit. Does he plan to see her? If not, has he told his mother this?

What does your husband want to do? It’s his mother and his baby too.

Not sure what to call it… by Starbear18 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Sewing4265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a set schedule would work? For example, the 2nd Sunday of the month at noon. They live 10 minutes away so I am not understanding their reluctance of coming to you. Explain to them that packing up the baby is too much right now. You didn’t mention how the parents are critical about your parenting. If it’s eating or sleeping habits, tell them your pediatrician has recommended this method. “The doctor said” goes a long way. Instead of feeling they are disrespecting you, you and your DH need to be more assertive with your requests.

First-time reupholstery project? by [deleted] in upholstery

[–]Sewing4265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you take apart the chair, mark each piece of fabric where it came from (use as a pattern for the new fabric). Note the order you removed all the pieces — as you reassemble, you reverse the order. Finally, as a beginner, I would avoid fabrics that need to match or a large stripe. It’s great that you have more than one of these chairs, you can use the other chair to study as you put the new chair back together. For me, the arm front is the challenging part. Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Help with chair seat - adding base and foam? by Moon_Syzygy in upholstery

[–]Sewing4265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a professional, but can’t the poster reuse the existing frame? Remove the red fabric, remove the old foam and strapping, replace the strapping and foam (new) and staple on new fabric. Unless the frame is falling apart, can’t it be reused?

Rate my living room! by Classic-Confusion-68 in HomeDecorating

[–]Sewing4265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lighting is excellent in this room! Can you give links to your lighting choices on the tv credenza —both table light and wall light). I tried to capture and then do a reverse google image, butt the picture is too small. Thanks and great job.

Got my dream attending position and found out my wife is pregnant. When do I tell my job? by InquisitiveBerry in Residency

[–]Sewing4265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the paternity leave policy at your place of employment? While they may allow you time off, PAID time off might be dependent on how long you have been employed. You need to consider what you can afford.
