DH doesn't get it

I'm working on something to hang on the wall in the nursery that coordinates with the bedding.  I bought four 8X10 photo mats (pics are 5.5X8.5) and a can of spray paint (didn't have the color I wanted). DH asked why I didn't make sure and get the outside edge of the mats. I explained what I had planned for the rest of the project. He told me he didn't like my idea. I know I'm hormonal/a touch crazy at this point, but way to suck the joy out of this project for me!

Re: DH doesn't get it

  • I'm sorry that he was a killjoy. 

    Hopefully when you finish it he will see that he was wrong and you were right.  I guess it would be too much to ask for that he realizes the error of his ways and trusts you in the future, but one can hope. ;) 

  • You know you'll get some love here.  What's your project?

    Our nursery bedding didn't having any coordinating decor, so I made some. I drew the cute little animals from the bedding on cardstock, colored them w/ colored pencils, and am framing them to go above the changing table/dresser.

  • I'm really hormonal this weekend. I told him earlier I wanted to high five him in the face because he's being a brat this morning.

    I am totally going to steal that line and use it on DH...Love it!

  • I'm sure it looks awesome and he just can't 'see the final result'.  Dh does similar things to me and then I go ahead with it, and he then says 'you were right'. :)  Your dh will have the same reaction, I'm sure!
