That is what I see with a lot of husbands. Mine is the same way. Its less about what the husband, you or the kids want, and more about how much money and time it is costing them.

I can totally relate to these decorating issue with hubbies. My hubbie has quesitonable taste but thinks he has wonderful taste and is extremely opionated! We are just now facing this problem because we are moving into a new larger apartment due to our baby's upcoming arrival and I have been thinking of how to decorate the new place. It's the first time my husband has heard such definite opinions from me on this subject because when I moved into his batchelor pad condo a couple of years ago, I did not bother to try and redecorate since I knew we would be moving as soon as we had a baby. But now that we are moving to a new place and I really care about the decor, I can see I am in for some trouble with hubbie. He has about a 100 (literally) hideous items he is attched to for sentimental reasons that he refuses to not have in plain site! It's the first time in the almost 2 years we've been married that I strated thinking about the good old days when I was single because at least then I could decorate my apartment as I pleased.... Needless to say, I am desperately in need advise on how to handle this! Hello All,

And this weekend - a trip to pick out accessories. . . kids in tow. Hubby spilt paint on his first attempt to "help" - he was banned. Kids helped for about half an hour in each room and then I painted in peace. I love a project from start to finish - that rarely happens in my world!!

C) Are unable to do anything (Talk, Move, See, Hear, etc) My DH has yet to think he had/has any say in how our entire house is decorated. The shed -- well that's man territory so he got to do with it what he wanted. And I'm sure it will look great in ten years when its finally finished.
