Sharon and Hummerlou,
I stopped myself from ‘ranting’ also. I think that if that niece is creative,,,,, she should be able to figure out what she might want to do to change it up. Too bad she didn’t just ‘do it herself’ in the first place. Sometimes, people don’t value other people’s time and work. Ok, so I guess this is a bit of a rant also, but Hummerlou,,,, you shouldn’t take on fixing something that ain’t wrong! ! ! ! That’s accepting someone else’s opinion of ‘what you’ve done’ and trying to please this person will probably never happen. I have a typical, although not very soft, answer to someone like this,,, There’s a guy down at the shelter that loves it, I’ll give it to him. OR, the one I’ve used with customers that ask the stupidest questions, and they are aware of how stupid it is (different if they really don’t know),,,,, That’s an interesting question, AND then I turn and walk away letting them figure out what “they” will do with their ???
I know this is rather strong, but I guess some of us have been put through the wringer with this kind of behavior and it’s time we speak up and stop getting walked on. NO ONE is going to send me back to do something that doesn’t need to be redone ! !
