Wishing I were anywhere but here
My dad wanted a storage shed for the backyard so he could put all his crap from the attic to the shed and from his room to the attic. I went along because we are turning his room into a guest room and putting pictures of my mom up in there.

He started out with one size and ended up with a size larger. I told him that it couldn't interfere with my plants or my pond. I come home and I think it looks totally stupid. Not only do some of my plants no longer get light, but it does take away from my pond and I can't even see my pond from one angle of the house. All I see is this stupid large BARN!!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!
So this was me once I saw it.
If my mom were here she would never let him do this. I also hate the fact that he wants all these things done to the yard, but he doesn't do ANYTHING in the yard. Everything that is back there is because of me!

WHY can't they just listen??? I am so unhappy I think my plants may suffer because I can't stand to go out there and look at that crappy piece of metal.

Did you dad move in with you?
No, I'm still at home but have done all the yard work in the back pretty much alone. My mom helped me some.

hmm because men are always right


lol ok that being said, i do understand why your upset.
But you know maybe its somethings he has wanted to do for a long time.
Let him have his way. Is it really worth fighting over?

He heard you, obviously didn't listen............... The only way you can expect them to listen and respond is if it has some relative effect on them/their life. Either out of pocket, out of personal comfort (both related), or out of inconvenience/convenience (also related)!

Maybe he was rebelling a bit? Maybe he was thinking, "Hey, it's my yard, I'll put up a barn if I want".

Aw Sabrina im sorry to hear that.

Is there no way he would help you? maybe you can dig up the plans and move them somewhere else?

It's his house, right? Then he can put up a barn or whatever he wants.... you can live with what he decides or find another place to live. The unfortunate price you have to pay when you aren't on your own.

True, but he could be more considerate. It basically has pretty much ruined the yard. He's good at complaining, but not doing the work. He doesn't do much to begin with.
