DH huffy and disappointed at me saying (again) NO to sorting/designing/laying a reclaimed mass of jumbled up Victorian mosaic floor tiles in our busy entrance hallway which never had them in the first place (1920s Edwardian style period home) there is already a small porch with lovely mosaic tiling its not like there’s none at all.
He bought them off eBay for a small fortune, didn’t consult me, (I was days away from giving birth and we were living at my parents house) he says things like I’m ‘good’ at these sorts of things - ok im an artist but never done tiling in my life - and we became parents in the middle of major renovations to a house that was supposed to make life easier, but turned out needed structural repairs- in short its been a f*cking nightmare, I had a difficult birth, feeding problems, trauma, PND/anxiety, this house has ruined our experience of becoming parents, really affected our marriage, I regret the move totally (i had reluctantly agreed) homesick, i’ve been trying to get us back on track - but these fucking tiles in boxes blocking up areas taking up storage space
Enough is enough
We need to function! gain some quality of life
we restored cornicing, replaced joists, laid cement, I’m done, it’s had too much from us
I’m still breastfeeding/cosleeping I’m better and getting back to working slowly
I want out of this fucking house. Period feature aesthetics do not make up for all the traffic noise: boy racers reving loudly and sirens ruining naps and upsetting our little one. It’s not even practical with no kitchen diner I can’t see LO when eating.
acts like im denying him something he wanted and that i get everything i want etc
I was told design inside, he wanted to design front garden - but he’s moved goal posts as per
just ridiculous after all we’ve come through this is causing problems. GAH!!!
ps I just want quick laying, click together non slip laminate (marble effect). Its a family home not an episode of downton abbey.
