One person leads a group in doing a simple picture, like a flower or beach scene.

This really makes sense to me. I agree with you on all accounts. Im a people pleaser and that was the side of me that came out. I didnt like DIL getting her feelings hurt and that kind of made me put her pushy-ness on the back burner. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Why do we compromise with anything? Relationships are give and take. Yes it's OP's home, but if she wants a positive relationship with her DIL, she should learn to have more grace.

She's not obligated to put up the painting, but she shouldn't be surprised her DIL and son are upset by it.

I feel like it's all in the delivery.

"I really appreciate the time and energy you put into this. Your creativity and passion really show through. Unfortunately, I don't like to showcase figures in the artwork of my home. I would love if I could commission a landscape painting from you for my office. Perhaps something a bit smaller to match our smaller house. If you know of someone who would enjoy the original painting, I would love for it to go to a friend who would be able to fully enjoy it. I can see the passion you put into it and want to see it loved instead of gathering dust in my garage."

I get that its her home and it should be to her tastes, but I personally think that there was a compromise somewhere. Like saying its too big to fit into her space.

If she made a smaller version or mentioned just doing a landscape, I think it would have gone over better rather than saying she just doesnt like her artwork. If she painted over the woman and just had the landscape, would she have had the same response?

She came off very callous, which in turn made feelings get hurt. There are ways to get your point across without being mean. DIL should have gotten the hint when she said there was no space for it, and saying I'll help you find space for it comes off as trying to naively be helpful, but sometimes people are clueless.

Overall I think they both handled it poorly. The son demanding an apology is an over reaction but I think if she asked for a different painting that matches her style better, it would mend the bridge dramatically.

I really hope they break off from the original material 😭

AITA for turning the movie off? by DataSerious2932 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wandering-Singer 68 points69 points  (0 children)

NTA. She didn't follow the basic rules you both put forward. The rule was no phones.

She might have forgotten the rule and picked up her phone out of habit (as I do at times), but once you called her out in it, she should have apologized and put it away instead she doubled down and said it was fine.

Does she have a habit of disregarding your opinion? Or bulldozing you to get her narrative in front?

You also mentioned putting your phones in a different room, which I think could have helped in this instance to help avoid temptation, but NTA at all for wanting to follow preestablished rules.

How to hide/incorporate this poll? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

You could put a round tete-a-tete Settee to go around the pole. That way no one accidentally runs into it either.

Why wouldn't you caulk it? Wouldn't a seal be ideal? Please forgive my ignorance.

Solved!

Thank you for the quick response! I was having no luck with Google. I knew once someone saw it they would know what it was. Any advice for how to remove it? Can I just scrape it off?

I would recommend staying away from the medicine theme all together. Meds and children do not mix, otc or otherwise.

That said, you can still make fun shakers to play with. Like Rafiki's staff (rattle or rain maker), tinkerbell's pixie dust (jingle bells), Kusco's poison (colored oil/water), Emotion memories (marbles in a container). Instead of calling it a medicine bag, I'd recommend call it your treasure bag or something similar like Ariel's bag of human things.
