To paint the garden fence again

[LovelyBranches]

So this week I’d had a bit of a premenstrual moan at my DH about him not pulling his weight. In reality he absolutely does pull his weight and is an equal and loving parent/husband. I was feeling overwhelmed and tired and I later apologised to him.

However this must have been ringing in DH’s ears because today I took the DC out to visit a friend and when I came back DH had painted all of the garden fences. He’s done a great job and it looks fresh and clean. He was really proud that he had taken the initiative as the garden isn’t his thing at all.

However, he’s used a completely different colour paint and I absolutely hate the colour. I had previously bought the paint he used, applied it and realised how awful it looked and then bought a pot of a much nicer colour.

Aibu?
Yes -live with it.
No - wait and then go and paint it back the colour you want.

I can’t believe he hasn’t noticed-the old colour was a sage green and the new colour is a blue colour. He didn’t have time to paint all the fence-so there are places where the two colours are right next to each other and he can’t see the difference.

It’s such a big job to paint a whole fence unless it’s a tiny garden so is it really that bad for you to waste a day repainting it?

Also he’s been nice and done it so it would completely undermine his effort. Is he colourblind? Or maybe not as sharp with noticing differences? Either way I’d just let it be. If you are going to paint. Just paint the bits he missed so it’s all the one colour.

If you say something now you’ll start world war 3 as he’s clearly made an effort and maybe he genuinely didn’t realise it was the wrong colour. I’d just wait a few weeks and get dc (if they’re little) to scrawl on it and say what a shame it is the fence needs re painting 😬😬😬🙈

I have to repaint my garden fences every year. So I'd be over the moon not to have to do it this year and would definitely put up with the wrong colour until next year and change it then.
