MIL's reaction "It's just so sad"...
SD went off to college last year. She has a dorm, a room at her mom's and HAD a room here until she left for school.
That room became BS3's when she left.
SD will share a room here with BD11 WHEN she is home (about 5 weeks total per year now)...
Because it is (or was) such an issue...I waited for the redecoration. I even let SD use it over xmas break...
I painted it 2 days ago...it is now a nice little boy's room.
I had my inlaws over last night for BD's birthday...along with my family.
As my MIL walked down the hall to look at her grandson's room...she said "oh the room...oh...it's just SO sad...".
I asked "what?" and she said again "oh...it's so sad"...
Since I had a house full I let it be...but really?????
WHAT IS SO FUCKING SAD????? That princess SD cannot have 2 bedrooms and a dorm room at her exclusive use? That we do not keep a SHRINE to her?????
Seriously....I get along WELL with my inlaws and have for 16 years...
This is HARDLY sad....what is sad is that I denied myself this room when my son was born. I should have moved SD's ass into her sister's room then...but I was being WAY TOO NICE...
I deserved my baby baseball nursery and passed it up to accomodate SD's ass...
So sad...the girl isn't even here this summer...she will be here for 14 nights starting August 4th...and she won't even be sleeping here...she will be at a family beach house AND house sitting for her grandma...then leaves for school...
Tell me...what is so sad about giving a full time child his own room????? SOunds like a good use of space if you ask me.

Maybe she just meant that it
Maybe she just meant that it was sad that SD was all grown up and moved on. Since you have a good relationship with MIL, she probably didn't mean anything by it.
I know that when I move my little boy out for college and change his room, I'm going to be a bit melancholy.
I don't have bio kids, but
I don't have bio kids, but I've had similar comments fr my mil.
This is why I worry about even trying to have kids w dh. I don't want my children living in the shadow of the skid
Maybe she was just expressing
Maybe she was just expressing her feelings that things change and kids move on and up and out. I would only assume she meant this way until she said otherwise..."Yes, BS now has a room of his own just like SD did. Next thing you know she will be married and probably travelling overseas and... gosh gee! Next thing you know she will be having her own family!"
