I only speak from my own experiences, but have found well meaning relatives have frequently jumped on my ideas and 'improved' them to the point that they are nothing like your wishes.
I have learned over the years to listen quietly, then go away and please myself without telling a soul.
My easy maintain garden ideas were taken over and now I have a lovely garden that I have no hope of managing myself, so a gardener was organised for me. I enjoy gardening but this is now denied me,
Same thing happened with my new kitchen. I now have a lovely modern kitchen with an island and breakfast bar. I never wanted an island, and why would I want a breakfast bar of all things?
I put my foot down over a wet room and went ahead without asking for help and have exactly what I wanted.
I really resent people interfering, and yes I do dig my heels in and will continue to do so. I will not be bullied, remember the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
I just beg you, tread carefully.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
