So what!…that I am the one who decorates the house?
So what!…that I am the one who chooses the paint colors?
So what!…that I am the one who arranges {and re-arranges!} the furniture?
So what!…that I am the one who can’t stand to see a bare wall and must hang something, anything, on it pronto?
So what!…that I am the one who hangs little {and big!} country signs with adorable sayings throughout our entire house?
So what!…that DaddyMac feels he doesn’t have a single room in the house he works so hard to pay for to call his own?
Shouldn’t none of this matter when it comes to this recent purchase of mine…
I. MUST. HANG. THIS. IN. MY. MUDROOM.
Of all the useless crap I’ve chosen to fill my walls with throughout the years, this would be the most adorable and USEFUL piece ever. And I’m pissed because DaddyMac told me I can’t hang it in the mudroom–and despite the fact that there truly is no other place to hang it, the mudroom is the perfect place for it to go! This purposeful clearanced sign that I’ve envisioned to help me keep good track of things like putting Buckaroo in sneakers as opposed to Uggs so he can participate in gym class is going to have to go back to the store, all because DaddyMac is planning to turn the mudroom into his room.
So what!…that I haven’t allowed his old snoeshoes to hang by my fireplace.
So what!…that I’ve painted almost every room feminine, flirty colors?
So what!…that I’ve filled the walls with dust collectors?
{insert temper-tantrum complete with whiney voice and stomping feet…} I. JUST. WANT. IT. MY. WAY.

What? That’s cute and useful! Send it to me – Hubby doesn’t have a veto on decorating!
I was thinking though – this could have been so much worse…living in OK – There are a lot of hunter’s in my area…he could have wanted to hang something like a deer head or a fish…lol. I have seen that in a lot of friend’s houses.
See this is why you give them one room, one room that they can choose to do whatever they want with *with a tinny little guidance from you*, it is a barganing chip. I hate leather couches HATE!! them. But I let Mr E have his leather couch and blue walls under one condition, the entire rest of the house was mine to do with as I please. This has lead to a pink, black and white master bedroom, that he can’t say anything about.
Good luck with the sign, i think its great and would go perfect in a mud room. He can just get over it.
It IS a really super cute and useful sign. What are you gonna do with all your “mudroom” stuff!? Where shall all the shoes go!?
Tell DaddyMac you will compromise and let him write on it once in awhile. While you are at it tell him he can decorate the basement as his mancave…any way he likes!
My sister in law gave her husband the downstairs half bath as his….and he went to town decorating it in Red Sox style complete with Yankee toilet paper.
So what you happen if you just hung it anyway? Would the world stop turning? Would he rip it down in a fit of rage? What? What? I vote you hang it anyway… Clearly DaddyMac wasn’t given the memo that says: Men mow the yard, women decorate the house. If this doesn’t work…just start crying and tell him “you just don’t understand”. That’s gotta work, right?
I’s tough being a mommy. We should always get our way.
Good luck with the sign… something tells me it’ll be hanging in that mudroom before too long
Maybe put antlers on it or something?
Where did you get that? I want one!
