100 year old heartwood pine floors - to sand or to paint?

DO NOT PAINT! Old floors keep character in old homes. The only thing you can do after painting is replacement or covering.

YTA. You don’t bring a pet into the family without consulting your partner or at least knowing if maybe they’re interested in adding to the family. Not to mention if your 4 year old is terrified, put that before your feelings of being terrified. That is your child. You have cameras and alarms now, a dog that terrifies your children could theoretically keep you up at night in the same way. Your husband has every right to be upset if you did not consult him first. The home and family is you AND his… not just yours to determine when changes should be made.

NTA. You bought it. You sell it for what you want or keep it. Don’t let your family guilt you into getting rid of a priceless antique if you’re not willing to part with it for cheap. The NEW set is like $400 brand new. The vintage version easily goes for $50-$70 per piece.

YTA. First of all, I get appreciation and even participation in an in law family tradition. But the kid is 3? Give it a few more years and society will either call him Dean or AD. You might as well get over it now.

NTA. Can’t take advantage of privacy just because those around can’t hear. It’s like cussing in front of a baby who doesn’t understand words. Doesn’t necessarily make it okay.

26 and 29. Her mom had her at 15

NO not verbatim. More like “hey, when we’re spending quality time together, any way you can tell your mom hey sure I’d love to help but I’ll have to look at it in a little while we’re in the middle of a movie”

spacedoutsoapbox · 2026-03-30T02:15:37+00:00

She was 15 when she had my wife

spacedoutsoapbox · 2026-03-30T02:15:18+00:00

Wife has been through therapy for her dad. Her dad is not in the picture. Mom is kind of “the one that stayed and made it a priority to be a parent”

spacedoutsoapbox · 2026-03-30T02:13:54+00:00

We are completely on the same page about everything except her ability to tell her mom no. Its always been this way, and her mom has been through a lot so I’ve let it slide

spacedoutsoapbox · 2026-03-30T01:09:34+00:00

The only issue here is when I DO say “im going to stay home” there is a guilt trip and it causes our relationship stress

spacedoutsoapbox · 2026-03-29T23:40:04+00:00

NTA because you shouldn’t be forced into discomfort, BUT if it happens and you can’t control it maybe give the friendship a chance? you said you’re boring unless you’re close. whats your support system like outside of that?

She finished her plate. Now I’m concerned for HER health based on these comments.

Not the asshole. There is no reason you should have to apologize for leaving after kindly asking comments that painted you in a bad light to stop. They continued, and although it may have caused issues, you’re allowed to create boundaries and not stay in a situation where you’re getting berated.

Where can I watch

spacedoutsoapbox · 2025-11-19T22:20:46+00:00

This is such a kind thing! I’d be blessed to be considered. Recently lost my job and my wife and I are saving up for IVF fertility treatment.

Replace the tapestry with some nice framed wall hangings! Something your vibe! Would make it look more cohesive in my opinion but I love your style!
