[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your ILs told people that you “weren’t supportive of the renovation.” So effing what? Who cares? What does that matter? It’s not like they said you had cancer or were cheating on your husband.

+1. What does it even mean to be “supportive” of a freaking renovation? It’s not like you are ignoring him after a major surgery or big life change or something! Just continue to ignore or say, “that’s nice, Bill” when he brings it up. [/quote]

Op here. Who knows what he meant. We were handling him as best as we could but now he’s starting stirring crap with the siblings I am even more annoyed. This family likes the drama and it is so exhausting![/quote]

This is only “drama” because you are choosing to see it as such. It is “so exhausting” because you insist on giving it not only mental energy and mental real estate, but time spent here on DCUM stewing in it.

If my FIL told me I “wasn’t supportive of a renovation,” I’d laugh and say I’m not into the HGTV stuff, but hope he’s enjoying it. And if he gossiped about me, I’d laugh. Because who the frick cares if you get a reputation of…of what? Of not caring about tiles and knobs?[/quote]
