My friend worked at a hardware store with the paints and she is NOT a great house painter 😅 Working at Home Depot doesn't mean he's a painter. Experience matters more, and it sounds like your dad has more of it! Sorry your boyfriend is being stubborn, just stick to your guns! Him and his family can Google it!
Because men are proud stubborn humans and feel more powerful when they are right 🤣 but I have a family of 5 brothers who are all decorators and they have all been taught (from collage too) that ceilings are painted first, then cut in the walls and paint. Otherwise drops and splashes risk getting into the newly painted walls when painting the ceiling after 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
My dad taught me to do it just like yours did. Your bf is wrong lol
This is a misogyny thing, I assure you if your dad told him his way is the correct he way he wouldn't argue. He'd probably nod his head like "Ah really? That's interesting" then in the car home he'd tell you your dad is wrong. This isn't even necessarily a conscious behaviour for most men, my partner does it and he had no idea until I pointed it out, it's the societally ingrained attitude that women can't know more than a man 🙃
You are 100% correct. Don’t let them gaslight you. Know your worth! When people act that way it’s because of their own insecurities even if they don’t realize it. Secure happy people don’t take pleasure in making other people feel badly. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this!
This sounds like something a simple YouTube video can put to rest. My husband will sometimes pull something like this. I just bring up a video without saying anything. If he says that's just that one, I'll pull up the next one and let it roll. He can argue with the internet for as long as he'd like, but in the end, we're doing it the right way. 🤣
call your dad. put it on speaker around him. “Hey dad! i just wanted to be sure cause we have to do some paint. what’s the best way to do it?” let him be mad, let his pride hurt a little. Being a manager of a RETAIL TOOL/MAINTENANCE does not qualify you to be a painter, a builder, a plumber, an electrician and so on. You sell the things. not provide the job.
When my husband is being stubborn I let him do things his way, then I grab a bag of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show, because he always ends up pulling his hair in frustration after so many failed attempts, and then will look at me and say "You were right. I should have done it the way you said the first time." Oh if I had a penny for every "I told you so!"
@Paula it's amazing how far they're willing to go to try and prove they know better than us, so fragile 😂
I just tell my boyfriend ya baby your always right only 50% of the time
@Amber I know right? I just revel in the moments when he recognizes I was right all along. 😂
@Becca Guns? 😧😄😄😄😄😄
I grew up with a dad who ran a painting and contractor business. I also have a painter for my home projects and he does the same as my dad. Ceiling first. Then cut your lines for the boarders. Then walls. Your dad is correct. Working at Home Depot doesn’t mean anything 😂 my nephew was a manager and i wouldn’t have him do any house projects 😂
