Would you judge this in someone’s house?

I’m currently re-decorating parts of my house. I’ve come across a website that sells prints for the walls and I’ve found some I really like;

This house is full of love, laughter, and a little bit of what the fuck.

Pardon the mess, I decided not to give a shit today.

If you’re happy and you know it, it’s your meds!

As you can probably tell, our house is already a little bit eccentric with its decor… but would you judge someone for having prints like that on the wall with children living in the house or am I just overthinking it? 😅

OP - I hope you buy these and as you hang them smile to yourself about all the obnoxious, middle class, snobby arseholes on MN who couldn't bear to be your friends IRL cos you had some naughty swears on your wall! My gosh, won't someone think of the children?!!

Enjoy your your prints :)

Yes, it’s outdated and a bit naff

I recently got into painting my own canvases & recommend it

Heyheyitsanotherday · 01/03/2025 23:21

Everyone’s different op. And if you and your family like it then go for it. 🙂But to answer your question, yes. I do judge a little. My friend did an elf of the shelf idea which was funny but spelt the word “shit” and I thought she looked a bit of a scrubber (bearing in mind I love a swear- in an appropriate place)

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 01/03/2025 23:10

I'd not judge you, no. They aren't appropriate for home with young children, but it's your home, so I think if you had some without swear words on, they might be better.

In my bedroom, there's a poster with a slogan saying "Shine bright like a diamond" to remind me to have some self-love. My self esteem has been at rock bottom for a decade, after a head injury and post concussion syndrome before being injured by psychotropic drugs that gave me a permanent neurological involuntary movement disorder.

If my slogan poster to help me not to feel such despair is on my wall, I couldn't give a crap what others think. You do you, too OP. 💖

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 01/03/2025 23:05

I probably would TBH. Sorry.

Daftypants · 01/03/2025 22:57

They’re a bit naff , I don’t judge the swearing 🤬 but that’s because I don’t have kids in the house any longer .
House of adults here .
We don’t have things like that up on our walls here .
We have prints or limited run prints / Lino cut prints of things we see when out and about / on holiday etc collected over years .

HarrietsweetHarriet · 01/03/2025 22:54

How about lovely art prints instead? Or screen printed posters such as those sold by Tinsmiths?

Not a big fan of the ‘live love laugh’ vibe. It I’d personally create a gallery wall of the most inappropriate ones I could find 🤣

personally I have this in my toilet room, and yes my kids see it too 🤯

Would you judge this in someone’s house?
Julimia · 01/03/2025 22:15

Apart barometer the use of the f word you're overthinking it!

Eccentric? Sounds more like some crap from Poundland you'd find in a council flat 😂

Show quote history

You do know that your Farrow and Ball paint is the "crap from Poundland" of the middle classes yes? To the point where if you tell people that your house is painted in "Elephant Dick Smeg" gives them contact embarrassment about how try hard you are.

I dont have a mortgage and go into Poundland often. But then picking up stuff from there is how I ended up without the mortgage I used to have......

Because people with a mortgage would never set foot in Poundland would they? Get over yourself! Do you know how judgy your comment is, and now the laughing emoji doesn’t make it any better.

Blacksheepcat · 01/03/2025 22:05

That’s not eccentric, that’s just tacky. Sorry

This is a made up post.

LBFseBrom · 01/03/2025 21:59

Well said, MyNDfamily.

Sometimeswinning · 01/03/2025 21:58

Rainbows678 · 28/02/2025 14:26

I didn’t say that, you’ve clearly misunderstood the whole conversation. I said it’s not odd to not have other children in the house because my child’s autism and doesn’t like being around other children - nothing to do with the quotes or prints.

Show quote history

Everyone in real life completely understood this. Some posters are genuinely stupid and cannot help it.

I don’t like little framed slogans. But I prefer my friends to not be the same as me so I wouldn’t judge.

tempname1234 · 01/03/2025 21:52

Its words, to me, hurt my ears. So if you had those without curse words, no problem

but curse words with kids about, yeah, I’d judge you.

PorridgeEater · 01/03/2025 21:29

If you want your child to learn to swear this would be one way to encourage it.
Since you ask, yes I would judge.

TheMauveBeaker · 01/03/2025 21:02

Yeah, I’d judge. But I can’t stand what I consider naff signs. No doubt everyone’s decor gets judged to a degree though.

carchi · 01/03/2025 20:27

The thing is that while the quotes are mildly amusing the first time you see them the joke would soon wear off being read every day.

Horses7 · 01/03/2025 19:57

Yikes - just nooooo! There’s lots of really nice artwork around but hey live, laugh, love!

ClassicalQueen · 01/03/2025 19:52

I think it's quite tacky, I'd silently judge you.

supersop60 · 01/03/2025 19:50

I don't think I'd judge you, but I know I'd get very bored of reading the same thing over and over again. I don't like writing on clothes either.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 01/03/2025 19:38

Man alive i hate those pseudo twee swear words.

ttcat37 · 01/03/2025 19:37

I’d probably assume the owners are the kind of people that say ‘cockwomble’ and ‘twat waffle’ because they think it’s original and hilarious
