[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small house doesn't mean small spread. Not sure why you made such a big deal about that.

I do think you could've been more gracious about the fruit platter but mil is obviously overreacting.[/quote]
I don’t understand why so many don’t understand this. Such entitlement.

Bigger house usually means more space to serve apps first, a dishwasher to clean those plates before dinner, more buffet or dining space to serve more options family style. More counter space.

Why this is confusing I don’t understand. I think back to Thanksgiving when we had a townhouse with galley kitchen. We had to serve food on card tables set up in the front hallway. Yeah, our “spread” was smaller. Now we have a larger kitchen with huge island and breakfast nook. I load up the island and breakfast table with the food and we eat in the dining room. For a group that claims to be smart, sometimes you all come across as very dumb. [/quote]m

Any house with a GARAGE a would have more space than a townhouse with a galley kitchen. You sound dim.[/quote]
OP here. We have a one-car garage, 968sf, two bedrooms, one bath, an eat-in kitchen. I was just trying to be kind and make Christmas happen for DHs family since their parents kitchen was ruined after a burst pipe. Next time I won’t try so hard, since no good deed goes unpunished. [/quote]

NP.  No, now you're having a tantrum like a toddler.  You've already admitted that you acted inappropriately.  Own it and keep on going.  Surely your SIL and MIL now realize you were over-stressed and acted out because of it.  Just follow up with them, let them know you were wrong and let bygones be bygones.  Don't let the posters goad you into taking a stance that makes this little molehill into a huge mountain.[/quote]
