Painting my kitchen cabinets was the worst idea I had all year

Last spring I decided to save money and paint my oak cabinets white. Watched a bunch of YouTube videos and thought I had it figured out. I skipped sanding because the videos said liquid deglosser works just as good. Well after 3 coats of paint and a ton of brush marks, the paint started peeling off within 2 months. Now I have to strip everything and start over which is going to cost me around $200 in supplies. The worst part is my wife keeps saying "I told you to hire someone" every time she opens a cabinet. Has anyone else tried painting cabinets and had it fail because you rushed the prep work?

Wait till you try painting your car, then see if cabinets are still the worst.

I tried it once. Ended up looking like a toddler's art project.
