You're exacty right, it's "her house."
She has generously invited you into her home while you sort out your life and return to school.
You've been an adult with (presumably) your own apartment for the past 10 years. I hope you let go of your "pet peeve", appreciate that you have a roof over your head and a mom that loves you enough to let you stay at her house.

When I move to HK, this is the type of apartment (and location) I'd love to find! The windows!!

You could always hire the same guy ;)

I feel your pain. I have a problem kitten, too. She has destroyed my Gus Spencer sofa.

We have plenty of scratching posts. She uses them when we're home. But while we're away, her preferred scratcher is the sofa. The whole sofa. I contemplated using the double stick tape but that means the cushions, arms and back will be covered in tape.....

If your kitten is particularly stubborn, the soft paws won't work. We applied the caps prior to leaving for a 4 day trip. We came back to more rips in the sofa and 5 missing caps.

Yes, the shoes come off. Even if they're pretty and match their dress or handbag.

But then again, I don't host cocktail parties at my home. I reserve that for restaurants, bars and lounges.

I don't want to spend hours steam cleaning my rugs and scrubbing my floors after 30 pairs of shoes have trampled their way through my home.

So the shoes come off.

Thank you :)

You need to bring in an architect.

It's not like you'd want to alternate which side it opens for each cabinet....
I don't know about your cabinets but mine all open the same way...

They crackle as if you have a small fire going, too.
