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? 😅

Why would you write fuck and shit on your own walls?

Cry for help?

Especially if you write the latter using the same.

DalzielOrNoDalzielAndDontPascoe · 28/02/2025 17:25

I've seen people with signs saying 'bath' above the bath and 'wash' above the sink but never 'poo' above the bog.

Seems woefully lacking to me.

They’re out dated already, that was about 5 years ago.

I would judge. Not because of the swearing just because it's tacky as fuck to have these 'quotes' up on your walls. Very 'live, laugh, love'.

Coralsunset · 28/02/2025 17:22

I would think you were incredibly “try hard” in terms of “look at me, I’m wacky I am” and feel rather sorry for you.

unlikelywitch · 28/02/2025 17:22

Eccentric might not be the right word to describe your house. Maybe colourful and kitsch would be more accurate!

I wouldn’t have quotes or slogans in my house but I certainly wouldn’t make a value judgement on someone who did. Having the word fuck scrolled across your walls is a different matter, though. Not appropriate when you have young kids.

EconomyClassRockstar · 28/02/2025 17:18

Op, it’s your house. Put whatever you damn well want on your own walls and don’t give a flying rats arse what anyone else thinks. That’s the joy of being an adult.

Topsy44 · 28/02/2025 17:18

Yes I would judge you and I wouldn’t be happy about my DD coming over to see your DC. If you had swearing on the walls with DC it would make me question your boundaries for other things.

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 28/02/2025 17:15

I like those sayings that make you smile but since putting them on my wall might get my children more ready to put me into a care home, I reserve my private amusement with sayings to magnets.

I think the signs you shared are funny and if you want them in your house, go for it.

But then, I also find the signs on public light boards and "accidental" funny public signs funny. And sarcastic signs. That's just the direction my canoe paddles. 😉😇😎🙃😜

SackChute · 28/02/2025 17:06

You’ve asked, and I think the 352 replies pretty much say it all.
Yes, you will be judged.

Farkinhell · 28/02/2025 17:03

I would (inwardly) judge these in someones home and if asked directly would say something like 'theyre not what I would choose but if you like them that's what's matters'

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 28/02/2025 16:47

I have "Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyway" up in my bedroom. I bought it when my marriage ended. It's the motto I go by and one my marriage almost took from me.

Put whatever you like up but I don't think those ones are particularly eccentric.

aCatCalledFawkes · 28/02/2025 16:46

I don’t like the twee stuff like live, laugh, love and those prints are like there poor relations so even worse 😬

Bigearringsbigsmile · 28/02/2025 16:42

Yes I would judge. Sorry.
They don't sound good at all.

ThreeMagicNumber · 28/02/2025 16:41

It's not something I'd choose but I don't judge anyone's house or things they choose to have in them. Choose what you like for your own house.

I wouldn't think they were 'eccentric' prints, just cheap unimaginative ones.

LeaderBee · 28/02/2025 16:36

At most, i'd probably think it was a bit cringe - a bit like the "live, love laugh" shit you see on insta feeds.

but it's not my house, do what you like.

Birdie280125 · 28/02/2025 16:34

Namechangedforgoodreasons · 28/02/2025 14:35

It depends - would you care if your child then thinks that’s everyday language?

But irrespective of that, imo you’re trying too hard. The messages aren't eccentric, just ultra-naff and make me cringe. Yes, I would judge you. (Well, you did ask.)

Edited

Judging by the update, they already swear in front of children (or "don't hold back" as it was worded).
Agree, naff.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 28/02/2025 16:33

I think, OP, that your big mistake was posting this in AIBU. If you'd posted it in House Decor you would probably have had slightly more favourable replies.

TwirlyPineapple · 28/02/2025 16:33

They're the kind of twee things that people put up when they think they're witty/eccentric but are actually quite dull. I'd consider them on a par with "live laugh love" decor.

And I don't think swear words are appropriate for a house with young kids.
