To absolutely hate my house

[purpleflowers88]

I hate it, I never really liked it when we moved in but it was all we could afford in the area.

All plastering is shit (2002 build) half the curtain poles are falling down cos it can't hold the weight. The garden has a fucking raised wall meaning it's not safe for our young daughter. I moved out for a while last year during a separation and he let the garden go to shit. We're on LPG gas so there is a great tank in the corner of what little space we have.
I painted the kitchen over lockdown as it was 90s wood and it improved it but it's peeling. The dog chewed the lino, which looked cruddy already.
All my friends have such lovely houses and nice gardens their children can play in.. and say their partners keep on top of it.. mine doesn't. I've asked for shelves to be put up for 3 weeks. He does no gardening.. no painting, no DIY, has no interest in home improvements.
I know some people don't have a home at all and im lucky but I just need to rant as it's getting me down.

See I’d describe yours as a lovely garden. It’s big and you aren’t overlooked at back.
Honestly your garden is exactly type of thing that cheesy 90s show house doctor loved. All the basics are there so a tidy up and a few flowers in pots and they’d say they’d added 10,000 to house price.

I think many people get in a designer / landscaper/ gardener and have this attractive but rather bland open space with a few shrubs - often in an attempt to have low maintenance garden.
But I prefer something less streamlined , quirky with nooks and crannies - it’s more interesting. I’m sure yours can be that over a couple of years.
