Am I turning into my mother?
If you’re a long time reader, you’ll know that my favorite color is pink. And when I painted the girls’ bedrooms three year ago, I painted them exactly how I would have loved to have a room when I was a kid.
Well, my youngest daughter is complaining that she wants “a new room”. It isn’t good enough that she got a brand new bed (she still crawls in bed with me all the time, even though she’s eleven now). She claims she hates pink {gasp}! I ask what color she wants to paint her room. Her favorite color is orange. Orange?! I hate orange!
So I’m wondering why I hate the color orange so much. Oh. My. Gawd. Could it be because my room growing up - that my mother decorated - was orange!? Am I turning into my mother?!
I’ve already decided that the next house I build, I promise to let the kids pick out their own colors for their rooms. Now, let’s just hope I get that house built before they are all grown and moved out!
Of course, on my goal list, ideally I would like to be married first before building again. Because let’s face it, no one takes a woman as serious as a man when it comes to picking out bricks and shingles.

We recently built an addition to our home, so that our teen daughter could have a bedroom on the opposite end of the house (she used to have the room directly across the hall from us). When it was completed, she painted three walls metallic silver, and one wall a deep gumball red. Oy.

You are right pink is the most suitable color for young kids especially girls.Your Daughter hates it simply because you like it she will certainly dislike you its a natural process you didn’t like your mother choice.
You are not really turning into your mother your color is perfect pink i like it too orange doesn’t match its so odd and weird.
