"Our home is the reflection of our true character"

• In terms of home renovation, which one do you prefer to construct first if you have a tight budget?

• Outside, so your home can have a great appearance for people to see, or inside so your home would become comfortable and relaxing for your family to stat, but the outside is just so simple?

So as you all know, I have already mentioned in one of my article that this coming January we will be going to start our renovation. I'm actually super excited for that because I can finally have a comfortable home. A neater as well because as of now, I can't tell the look of our home. I don't like it to be honest 🤣.

Then yesterday I had a little misunderstanding with my partner because of his uncleared message.

• The message says that mommy (MIL) told him to renovate the front of our house first.

So I immediately felt discourage with that message because I thought, that he just agreed with his mother without asking my consent. So I just replied him "OKAY" with disappointment. I was literally thinking that time that he doesn't, perhaps he can't have his own decision because I thought he would just keep on listening to his mom's decisions and suggestion. I don't like that kind of attitude for a husband.

Anyways, Let me tell you why I thought like that.

Last Sunday, while we we're having our afternoon walk with garreth she told me that if she has her own house then she will prioritize the outside looks of her house so people would be impressed. She was thinking that people would praise her because she has a beautiful house from the outside .

However I disagree with her. I told her that if she would ask my opinion then I will prioritize the inside. I want a comfortable home and so I would make sure that inside is well arrange and it has a pleasant look's so it can be so relaxing to stay with.

For me, I would prefer to have a house with a simple look in the outside, but has a palace look like in the inside. I mean not having an expensive things and displays but with neatness. Things are well arrange and it's comfortable.

However mommy said that a house that has a good appearance in the outside is more important because people can see it. While the inside is not visible to them, so it doesn't matter if inside is just so simple.

• Since I knew that each one of us has different preferences, I have to respect her opinion and choices so I just stop explaining, but that doesn't mean I agree with her.😂

• Because as for me,( just for me) I don't care if people would not see my house beautiful in the outside, the important is it has a comfortable view inside.

So that's the reason why I thought that way. I also told him that I started not to like his attitude because he has no stable decision, as he keeps on changing his plans over and over again.

Then when he ask me why, I told him that I don't like their plan as I found it crazy 😂. Because he knew that our budget is tight and so why would they prioritise the front of the house, though they knew that the inside must be fixed first so the things can be put into places, right? Why would they care about others opinion? I told him that he must think about it, and so then he started explaining 🤦.

He says mommy just give him a suggestion, but that doesn't mean he agreed with her. So because of that I got mad at him. I started to hate him and I was really disappointed with him because I really thought that he can't make his own decision for us.

Luckily I was wrong and my disappointment subside. He says he still prioritize our plans and he cares about me and so there's no changes with the plan. We will fixed the inside and if there's still enough budget then we will continue the renovation in the front.

To be honest I was the kind of a person who appreciates cleanliness and neatness of the house than it's design. Whenever I visits someone's place, I would admit that I judge the person's true character base on how clean and neat he/she inside of her/his home. Because for me, your house designs is meaningless if the things are messy.

Our home neatness, is just like our own character. I prefer to have a beautiful personality than to have a beautiful look's without dignity and good moral's.
