I can see this being a dilemma with us too...

We are both European...but DH is more "traditional". Clearly I must be on my death bed because I rarely wear shoes inside, or even in the yard for that matter his mum is constantly panicking about my lack of footwear.

He's the type that wears his socks and lovely slip on sports thongs!! Haha such an old man trapped in a 20-something's body!!
He calls me a gypsy...should be interesting who wins with dd

Oh and we have tiles and carpet.
