I am not being rude, but i am always suprised why some blokes let their wives make the decisions for them. 
My house does not belong to me, it belongs to my family, so we make decisions together. Furniture, paint color or Pinball.
After the third night off my son (3 years old at the time), screaming in his bedroom that the "monster is going to get me" - pointing to the games room - that was enough.
