This is the photo from the open house of the home we just bought.
The house itself is lovely and very warm, however the kitchen with the mix of glossy white and black splash back doesn't really convince me.
How would you spruce it up and make it warmer, maybe considering wood, without a full renovation?
Thank you!
EDIT : Gosh I should've slept more. I meant THE OPPOSITE of what I wrote. I fixed it haha
I'm gonna be honest, I have always been told to floss AFTER.
However, I CAN'T STAND IT.
It feels counterproductive: why am I "washing" my teeth and mouth if then I'm going to dislodge nasty bits off my teeth again after?
I like to go first with the floss so brushing feels more complete.
Do you just use mouthwash to get rid of that?
I feel like my life has been taken away from me by not being able to quite literally hold it in when something triggers me and it starts a chain of events ranging from cramping to goosebumps and finally struggling to hold it in and avoid "accidents".
I'm not even sure it's IBS, but I'm trying therapy for it and it usually helps a bit but when I'm triggered there's nothing that can stop it.
Not a first time poster on this subreddit, MIL has always been (and safe to say will always be) a disgusting excuse of a mother and human.
The latest thing she did was:
Planning a "family dinner" with all other kids (and some random cousin) and "forgetting" to invite us.
For me? It's awesome! I don't have to see her, go into her home (with her untrained dog peeing everywhere) and I don't have to eat the absolute GRUEL she calls food while she talks about struggling with money while simultaneously bragging about getting dozens of thousands of dollars from some insurance bs she did.
For my partner? Not so great, of course.
He has confronted her about this and so have I (we have a history of her being gross and deceitful and everyone else is an enabler so I choose actively to call her out and not be an enabler as well).
She used some crocodile tears and self deprecation to get out of it, but I'm willing to bet money that this will never ever change, considering how long it's been going on for.
It's like my partner doesn't exist or count for her anymore? He's the 2nd of 4 kids.
I personally can't wrap my head around it and it's honestly cutting very deep for my partner and I wish I could help but I genuinely don't know how to (all I do is just get very angry and confront her because I'm a bit feisty but I genuinely don't know how to help, considering I'd be celebrating when the grim reaper takes her ass).
I struggle understanding how a mother can do this to one of her own kids?
I have suggested therapy but as much as he believed in mental health and everything, it;s like he doesn't want to do it? He's not ready for it? Maybe if he does, it all becomes even MORE real?
How have you suggested and "pushed" therapy and professional help to your partners?
