Would you judge this in someone’s house?

[Rainbows678]

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? 😅

Totally cringe and inappropriate around young kids.

Yes I'm afraid I would judge and think they were crass and naff. However it's your home and you do what you like!

No I wouldn't judge.

The second is one is shit but the other 2 I like!

Personally I hate even the non-funny ones and would never have them in my house.

But it's your house, you can have whatever you like on the walls and if visitors judge, who cares, really? I would maybe raise an eyebrow if you've got kids wrt the sweary ones, but otherwise: crack on.

I'm another on the side of 'hating anything written on walls or signs in a house'. They might be cute or amusing when you first put them up, but everyone in the house stops seeing them after the first week and they're just 'there', taking up space which might host better artwork or something more meaningful and personal, like photographs or kids' drawings. I also don't need to be told to 'Laugh' or 'Dance', I'll do that in my own time, thanks, not because eight inch neon green letters have instructed me to.

But my brother and his wife have all this kind of thing all over their house and I adore them and wouldn't dream of criticising, so you do you and if you love it, why not?

That’s not really eccentric though- it’s just blindly following a different style of mass consumerism. To be genuinely eccentric , you’d need more than swear words- I’d think of eccentric styling as decor that’s unique to you/your family, perhaps with individual artwork, or inventively repurposed items.

Permanently displayed swearing in a family home seems a bit attention-seeking. And it’s tricky to explain to children why they shouldn’t say swear words that are on show in their kitchen.

I've seen worse though

When we looked round our house, the current occupiers had a 4 foot pink heart above the sofa with "Amy and James AKA Barbie and Ken" written in it (names changed) I nearly puked.

I'd judge you for the crime of naffness and then I'd wonder how you thought that was OK with young children but not if they were teenagers.

Cringe.

Right up there with..
"I'm mad me..."

Eye roll so hard I can see smells now..
"No you're not mad Brenda, you're the same as every other fucker that thinks they're a bit quirky because they go out of their way to portray eccentricity as a replacement for a personality."

If you think you are eccentric, or you aim to be eccentric, then you are most definitely not eccentric.

Written word signs are a big no IMO, no matter what they say. The swearing itself wouldn't particularly bother me.

Really tacky.

Tacky

Reminds me of:

c

My main through would be they were lame (sorry) but also maybe not the best mottos to instill into kids minds.

Tacky. Sorry.

On the grounds of having 'fuck' on the wall, or having an untidy house, no, not in the slightest. On the grounds of actually choosing to put something on your wall that seems like a dismal cross between those kerraazy LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE slogans and the grim, workplace YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MAD TO WORK HERE, BUT IT HELPS!!! ones, definitely.

Yes I would judge. If I had children they would not be coming in your house.

They wouldn't be my choice but I wouldn't judge you. I'm generally not judgemental about things unless they're hurting someone else.

Even worse tackiness than live love laugh shite on your walls. But also inappropriate with children in the house. I’d judge you! Most would, even if they won’t admit it

Yes. This isn’t eccentric—it’s preemptive blocking supposed criticism about mess masked as whimsey. It reads as defensive.

I would think naff and tacky not eccentric and funny.

I wouldn’t put those up much less pay money for them.

I don’t think they are great messages for kids to see. Particularly the meds one…

Certainly not with DC, and not without in my opinion That's coming from someone who does utter expletives on a daily basis
