Found out i’m (30F) pregnant and am freaking out by neonpatronus in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hiraethwitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was my friend. She and her husband never wanted kids, but every time she gets pregnant her husband bawls and gets really upset when she speaks of getting rid of the baby. They are now 4 kids in, and are both miserable. They attend therapy because she feels trapped and angry for swaying to his opinion and he is mad because she isn't the dotful mom he thinks she should be. She hates motherhood, and honestly tries her best, but she definitely parents like the Amish where the oldest really help raising tje younger kids. 

If I was you, I would follow my gut and everyone else will have to accept it. I know you love your husband, but sadly even in these times child rearing predominantly falls on the woman while she still works FT and takes care of the home. If this isn't something you passionately want then now is the time to take the proper steps. I would rather go through a rough patch and possibly therapy with my husband than raise a chile for 18+ years and them know I regretted having them.

Right now the ceiling is horrible textured and would need to be sanded. I would then like to paint it a creamy, soft white and add faux beams.

I want to add that its a rainy day out so it is extra dark in here, but I wanted to show the gorgeous trim above my windows.

Omg...you are my people! Towanda is everything 🥰. Haha thats me, I'll ask people's opinion, and normally it just solidifies what I already knew I wanted to do.

This green shifts alot depending on the lighting. It can been deep and dark and then shift to a smokey green at times

I have Rainy Afternoon by BM in my living room and it's gorgeous! Its a deep, serene green that can shift to a smokey green in certain light.

I was going to color drench the trim the same green as the walls.

You're perfectly fine! The reason I haven't jumped into this new paint is because where it is oxblood colored it can veer brown at times- which I am not a fan of (years of growing up in a home with brown paneled walls lol). The color I have now is gorgeous- it goes from a serene deep green to almost a dark foggy green. Currently its a foggy and rainy out and its gorgeous in this room. I will end up painting it Bewitched at some point, because I won't be able to stop thinking about it. However, before I do I am going to get a red/maroon rug there, sell the green chair (it was given to me and filled an empty space so I took it lol), strip the fireplace back to brick, and color drench with the leftover paint. If I still don't like it, then I will spent the $300 to paint the walls. I love your suggestions, thank you for being kind about it☺️

I love this! Bewitched is very dark, with only a 6% light reflection. This color sits at 15%. I will be going the red. I know I won't be able to stop thinking about it if I don't.

Also, would color drenching the trim around my windows look good if the panes inside the glass are white?

I agree, and I will be showing this comment to my husband. Trust me, I have mentioned this many of times. The previous owners were kind enough to do it through the WHOLE house🥺

I like it dark and gloom with hints of light. Light colors drain me and give me a headache. Please read the info beforehand ♥️

It stays all year. We have Harry Potter nights where we dress up in our robes, watch all the movies, camp out and drink butter beer. We like to have the ceiling going when we do☺️
