I hate admitting it, but I am not "proud" of my home. Despite how hard I worked, I don't look forward to hosting and I am not quick to invite guests over. My home is just so *blah* and it has potential, but I just dont know where to start with designing the inside.

I feel there are several types of fields when it comes to the subject, and I'm not entirely sure on who to look for? I am looking for help on re-jiggering the furniture, where to hang artwork / photos, what colors to paint walls, etc. Is that what an interior designer or decorator does? Is that something that actually exists?

Came across and interesting dilemma in a local FB group and wanted to get opinions.

Person A rents (and has renters insurance) and has a hanging bird feeder on her patio. Due to wind, it falls and hits a parked car, damaging the windshield.

Person B has a deductible of 2,000 and will be paying out of pocket due to cost of repair being slightly lower.

I am assuming person A is liable but do they have to pay out of pocket? What is the case here?

My youngest will be 7 this month and was diagnosed and put on meds at 5. He had a go of trying different meds/versions, but it seems clear that adderall XR is the medicine that works great for him. We dont want to try another one...

But...

His appetite sucks. He's never been a big eater as he is naturally small, but of course the meds dont help. Recently, he forgot his pill before school, and when he came home, he was almost ravenous. I enjoyed seeing him *desire* food for a change, instead of treating it like a chore.

He has a psych appointment coming up and I will be asking her, but wanted first hand info on whether or not appetite stimulants are a thing? And if they are, has anyone here tried them for their kids?

My husband and I have been together 10 years, 2 kids (8 and 7). Our biggest struggle revolves around communication, but we both are working on it consciously it seems.

My husband works between 50-60 hours on average (mainly afternoon/night hours). He is off Monday & Wednesday. I signed up for a history course that takes place on Wednesdays, so that only leaves Monday nights for us as a family.

This past Monday, I took my youngest to his therapy appointment, then came home and prepared dinner. I served myself last. Husband went in the fridge asking if we had cheese; I pointed out the cheese I left out on the counter for him, but told him the sour cream is in the fridge if he could pull that out. He comes back without the cream so I get up and grab it. These things wouldn't usually bother me as they dont happen regularly, but it just added to the main issue for me.

He's been wanting me to get into hockey, which I find difficult/boring to follow, but I try to entertain his hobbies, and his team was in the playoffs (the last 2 Wednesdays I skipped class because he wanted to watch the game at a co workers house and we dont have childcare) so the game was put on while we ate. He finished his meal and went outside for a cigarette. At this point, our kids were done and wanting to be entertained. I rushed through the rest of my plate, being upset at this point that he couldnt at least stay with me through dinner (which only took 5 minutes longer).

He comes back in, and gets huffy that the kids are restless while hes trying to watch the game. I put my plate in the sink, walk towards the door to go out, and I guess I sighed or something cause my husband asked what was wrong. I spit out "youre an asshole. An inconsiderate asshole". He asks why, and I explain everything I just wrote. Silence. I smoke, come back in, and he is walking around like a dog with his tail between his legs. I put the kids to bed, and we each cool off with our games.

This AM, I did apologize for cursing, and he apologized for his behavior. But was my initial reaction too far?
