If someone did this to me, it would get to me, as much as I wouldn't want it to but I do agree with everyone else, these kinds of comments are coming out of jealousy.

You look much better in blue" Re: How do you deal with negative comments about your house? 24Aug 10, 2010 9:59 am Thank you all for your advice Re: How do you deal with negative comments about your house? 25Aug 10, 2010 12:51 pm My dad said something quite rude about our house colour, so I turned around and said "don't you like our house, because that's what I am taking that to mean". He was very apologetic after that. Sometimes directly addressing the comment can stop the person doing it again, and feels very good to deal directly with it. Re: How do you deal with negative comments about your house? 26Aug 10, 2010 12:52 pm We had the same thing re: the cost of our place. People are usually jelous or have no idea.

If someone did this to me, it would get to me, as much as I wouldn't want it to but I do agree with everyone else, these kinds of comments are coming out of jealousy. I mean no offense karry, but I can't believe you actually expect family/friends to be so polite and nice. I expect people in my life to feel free to voice any negative opinions or views. I certainly don't want people just being nice and polite for the sake of it. It's just so fake. Differences is what makes people unique. Our colour choices and so forth is not everyone's cup of tea but I certainly don't expect them to agree with us on our choices. I have a lot more respect for people who are honest and upfront and I certainly don't believe that just because someone disagrees with you or says something negative about your house is coming from jealousy. It really depends on the delivery. For me it's not what people say but how they say it. We've had some friends/family say some negative things which after giving it some thought has actually saved us a few times from making decisions we'd regret later. Turning some negatives into positives can be so worthwhile sometimes Life is; then you tell yourself a story. Re: How do you deal with negative comments about your house? 28Aug 12, 2010 10:03 pm I don't expect people to be polite and nice for the sake of it without meaning it however I have very supportive friends and family and cannot imagine any of them saying / doing some of the things mentioned here! I mean, if they don't like something who do some of these people think they are critisising your choices? Keep your opinions to yourself I reckon. It's like everyone having an opinion on baby names and putting their 2c in but that's a whole different thread!
