@ville__ You have 'a passion for fighting against cyber-bullying' but this whole comment is just you crapping on a creator to try and get subs. If you're 30+ then you need to grow out of the teenager mindset and find other ways to get views, cause this ain't it, chief. It's not cute, it's not funny, and it definitely won't get you views. Quite the opposite, it'll get you people who avoid your channel and advise others to do so because of your attitude.

It absolutely is, especially studies show now the painting/drawing with contrasting colours turned out to be so important. As a child me and my siblings were given colours to paint with, but black and other too dark shades were always taken away so we couldn't do "ugly" art.... 😬 My mom wanted pretty colours... Which were yellow and red and light green and light blue nothing else. It's real sad that I distinctly remember when I was a child hearing somewhere that all colours combined perfectly would make black, and I spent days attempting to mix black.. Because I wished I could use it for my drawings. And only managed light browns. I was so sad man.

I once saw a video of a woman who loved the 60s aesthetic and had her entire house match it, minus her kid’s room. She said that the kid could choose to have a completely different style and decorate his room however he wanted. I think that’s the perfect balance: if you like a specific aesthetic go for it, but if you have children let them experiment with what they like too

[@allovertheplacecreations2787]

That’s how it was for me most of my childhood, just had to check with mom first so we could go get the paint or find something to hang with. She had free reign of the rest of the house, but my room was my space. Then in high school I couldn’t paint or hang anything because the house had to stay like new, so I wasn’t able to decorate for about 5ish years. Off white walls with no hanging decorations is reeaally boring.

And tried to sue a distributor for not selling enough of her stickers because they weren't popular enough anymore and she couldn't accept that and wanted to take her profit out of someone with a lawsuit to make up for it.)

@@jennyh4025 if the kids grow up in an outright rainbow, beyond the primary colored bedroom as toddlers, they usually tone it down as adults by picking a color pallet that includes a neutral or two with pops of harmonious colors on the same side of the color wheel. But they don’t ban other colors from the home like these beige moms do. I’ve seen this a few times with the people I know.

[@frostyskeletons8950]

My mom is the opposite of a beige mom. Most rooms in the house are aggressively color themed (not obsessively so). I loved Fairies as a kid, so I got a pink carpet, pink walls with a custom tree and fairy mural on the wall with periwinkle ceiling. When I was a teenager and tired of the pink she let me paint it a LOUD cobalt blue and I chose to cover the mural with statin peacock themed sheets lol. Now that I’ve moved home to care for a family member I painted it white and uncovered the mural with pink and light green accents.

Just a reminder to parents: it's very important to appreciate your kids' creations. While going through old stuff recently I discovered that my mom has kept EVERYTHING I ever made for her or in general even if there was no space to display it and it was extremely touching and sweet. Give this to your children.

[@trenae77]

My mom was a ‘blue’ mom. Her favorite color was blue, but the Kitchen was a life of its own. Her fridge was a focal point of color and creativity. So SOOO many paintings, projects, little notes and - as I grew older and traveled - quirky magnets filled the space over the years I grew up. whenever Christmas cards would come, they would get tapped to the under-ledge of the cabinets to display. She was precious of what went up on her walls in the rest of the house, but the kitchen, which was central and seen by all because of the layout of our home, was the display chamber of what her family meant to her. Years later, when I was at a painting event with a friend, we were recreating a Turkey the instructor was showing. This was one of those places where you can make whatever you want - follow the instructor, experiment with the lesson, or go your own path. I followed the form, but specifically created a palette of blues and purples I knew would compliment my mom’s walls. I won’t lie, if there’s one thing I’ve been able to do over the years, it’s grasp the color wheel and know how to blend to create the shades I want. The end result has graced the central wall of Mom’s dining room every November for Thanksgiving since she first saw it when I brought it home :-) Just a little call back to wanting to display her pride in family mixed with my grown-up respect of her personal decorating style.

I would say a lot of the Millennials who do the beige and neutral color schemes are reacting to the style they were raised with as well. Keep in mind, many Millennials hated the bright neons and clashing patterns of the 90s because it felt too overwhelming to them so they overcorrected. I'm not saying I agree with it, I think kids need color, but it's a reaction all the same. And then the person above will have children who rebel and only decorate their homes with gray and white and the cycle unfortunately continues.

I mean I honestly get him (I don’t get not allowing you to paint your own room through)- I have adhd which often comes along with sensory processing disorder which I also have, bright colours send me straight into sensory overload. It’s too much stimuli for my brain to handle, I need neutral colours to be around especially in my own home, otherwise I’d constantly be in a state of sensory overload which I don’t think those who haven’t experienced it understand how debilitating sensory overload is. Sometimes people who reject bright colours aren’t doing it to fit an “aesthetic”, some are doing it to not get migraines every two seconds and constantly having your senses overwhelmed. But I don’t understand not allowing you to paint your own room, that’s your own space and you should be able to take whatever creative liberties you want.

Like some toddler and shes like "Thats prettyyy i like the shading of the roommm the lights are so nice draww and they look cutee" Also the other time im explaining my book and the villian who get crazy becuse he loved the Hero (they males too) and my dad listens with interested nods I fucking love those two

​@@Flowyisdead4554If I showed my mom a gorey drawing of two men cuddling in bloody bandages my mother would think I'm gay and comment about the blood. :/ My dad, being in his 60's would kill me. And therefore I limit showing art to my parents. (And they wonder why I don't show them crap anymore 😒)

I am a mom with walls in every colour, art supplies, art and Clutter everywhere and 6 kids. My eldest daughter moved out and got an all white, calm, ultra clean flat. Everything in it is curated. I always feel slightly guilty when I visit her, so, yeah, I love this perspective. 😅

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

My friend has lots of bks, like 1K prob Her oldest girl never has more than 10 in her house. She gets rid of 1 if she brings another in. She is extremely declutterred too. My friend is almost a hoarder, yep.

[@Q_0101]

as long as you let your kids have their items in whatever color they wanted, you are good!

[@blah914]

my grandparents (both sets) house is.... cluttered. my parents are divorced now, but dad is military grade minimalist 😂 and mom finally get her dream house now that us kids are grown and it is modern, sleek and •°○● empty ●○°• i feel her tho. I like it tidy too.

[@krislivingston1458]

I grew up in a very cluttered dirty house. My house as an adult is a regular clean with modest decor and I actually have things like a coffee table and it’s actually kinda organized.

[@evangeloevoxi]

You gave them too much enrichment! That's good though, as long as she got to choose her own colors for the things you got her throughout her life. And as an adult I'm hoping she still appreciates everything you did for her and her siblings 💚💙💜

I have watched this short, without seeking it out, 5 separate times. And I watch the whole thing and enjoy it every time. Truly a wonderful short

I was raised with no sugar, and I put out a bowl of m&ms every single time my mom comes over. Then I eat them, one at a time, while making eye contact...

[@fireboy2maybe]

Not over feeding your kids with shuger is good but no shuger at all is a bad way of parenting

Do you think they would put their Beige Moms into colorful urns to rub some extra salt in the wound too

[@poogissploogis]

Omg I totally would!

[@feuerling]

Fingerpainted urns

[@fa1ryf0x3s]

Not salt, dye pigments.

[@robrib2682]

For the extra on the insult they stir in glitter to the ashes

[@howaboutno.01]

After the Beige Mom's already dyed, sounds like fair play

[@helliumballoons7546]

I’m 16 and I actually really like my feint little smile lines and I can’t wait for them to get deeper as I grow up. I’ve struggled with depression for a lot of my life and there were times when I just couldn’t bring myself to smile because of how hopeless I was feeling. When I saw the smile lines pop up on my face, I took that as a great thing because that is physical evidence of my progress in my mental health. Proof that I have been smiling more and appreciating life. And I’m not going to let anybody shame me for that.

[@ltlredhen4177]

I followed a woman that mad fun of "Sad beige" This is the best "followup" of the children when grown. 😂

Beige obsest people ruind a lot of colours. I looked up, and there are a lot of the shades of brown that actually work really well with vibrent colours.

[@RobinCardwell-Mullins]

I could only afford to frame my kids’ art when they were adults, but by god, they are framed and I LOVE having them on my walls.
