You can tell these guys are bachelors and have never raised kids

I love modern homes and open concept. But my home is cottage style and I also love Victorians and bungalows. I think it's boring to only follow one trend when so many other styles are interesting.

Geez, people, teach your stupid brats to take care of what they have. Never too early to start doing that.

And I'm sick of people with kids telling those of us without kids that we "just don't understand," because we don't have kids. I remember being a kid, and remember having to clean our house, take care of our yard, do chores, errands, and our schoolwork.

I actually was at a church service once and had to share a pew with a family of kids who were noisy and rude, one of whom kept kicking me while perched on mommy's lap. When I finally asked them to have the kids be quiet and have the brat stop kicking me, the snooty bitch of a mother asked me if I had kids. When I said no, she said, "I guessed you didn't, and I'm not surprised." All with a nasty smirk on her dumb face. I asked if her son could kick her for a while instead of me, and she said that he was only 2. Two going on 5, would be my guess! Then daddy chimed in and asked me to be quiet, adding, "you've been disturbing us," and grinning maliciously from ear to ear. I informed him I was glad those kids were theirs, not mine, cause they'd have to deal with their teenage antics in a few years.

Why do you people with kids think you're better, and your brats more important and special, than those of us who don't? We pay our taxes to support schools and services that benefit your children. I'm happy to do it as my contribution to a well-educated and civilized society. Yet you can't even teach them rudimentary good behavior. No wonder they can't read, add, subtract, or write!!! No wonder SAT scores continent to drop. I can tell you parents one thing: the kids in Germany, Japan, China, and even Brazil are ready for the challenges and problems of the 21st century. Are yours? Oh, your brats are special, all right, just not in a good way. Good luck with that!

I'll get back to you after I've consulted with Satan.

Please tell me you're trolling. Accidents and toddlers happen.

Crouton! Crouton! Crunchy friends in a liquid broth.

Yeah, my brother and I grew up in a house full of knick-knacks, antiques, and nice upholstery, and we didn't demolish anything. In the course of normal play, sometimes things got scuffed or somebody put his shoes on the couch, but it wasn't mayhem and we didn't need to be leashed and watched all the time. But that was in the '60s. Maybe it's different today when saying "no" isn't done. I notice, too, that all of these couples seriously include the kids, even the toddlers, in the vote to decide what house to get. That certainly wasn't my experience as a child, but what the hell did I know about buying or renovating a house when I was six?

That can't be true-every home they do is exactly the same style with the same type fixtures, furnishings and room surfaces. Modern is getting really boring-move on!

Yeah they let the buyer choose fixtures, cabinet color, flooring, backsplash, etc but they surprise them with furniture. There was an episode the other day where the buyer was trying to peek at the furniture that was delivered and Jonathan said it was a surprise and made them leave. Lol. But you're right, most likely the buyer will give back/sell the decor they don't like. It's clear the PB choose the decor because it's the same bachelor/gaudy style for every couple.

Yeah lot of the show is Jonathan trying to reach the owners to get their decisions, the owner changing or questioning their decisions or Jonathan having to convince the owners to go with a cheaper alternative to stay in budget. Its not like Fixer Upper where it is always JoJo's style. Farm sinks EVERYWHERE
