[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you making this into an argument and not taking it as a compliment?  I see it as high praise that she and her family enjoyed the experience at your home.  Knock the chip off your shoulder.  If you really, really, really can't find it in you to host again, then respond politely, "[i]Larla, I am so glad that you all enjoyed the past two Thanksgivings at our house. That is high praise.  But this year we are going to my Mom's like we used to before Covid.[/i]"

Really, some of you seem set to antagonize, instigate and just be generally ornery without any reason.[/quote]  Exaclty.  Why is it 'SIL is pissed' instead of 'SIL is disappointed?'.  Unless I spoke to her directly and she talked to me angrily, my assumption would be that she was disappointed, and I'd take that as a compliment. [/quote]

So, if your sister in law spoke to you you'd know whether she was pissed or disappointed, but since it's my sister in law who spoke to me, you assume I can't tell the difference?   Of course I know how she spoke to me.
