Painting the kids' bedroom - took way longer than expected

My 6yo wanted her room a different color so I told her we'd do it this weekend. Bought the paint, taped everything off, thought I'd be done in like 3 hours. First coat looked thin, second coat was better, but now I'm realizing I need a third coat and my back is killing me. Also my daughter keeps wanting to help which slows things down but I can't tell her no. Will finish tonight but I'm exhausted.

Props for actually following through on that promise. Between work and the bedtime routine, I barely have energy for projects like that on weekends.

Dude, painting always takes triple the time you think it will. Sounds like you nailed it though - your 6yo is gonna love having her dream room. That's a win in my book.
