[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 424151, member: 4264"] I think your plans sound not only enjoyable but also very practically made decisions. I can't see why he feels entitled to discuss the finances of any purchases (let alone remodeling costs) with you given you are his parent and your finances should be none of his business. Perhaps a little reminder that opinions re: your finances or spending are off the table, period. A manner of respecting your parents/elders and as a matter of tact. Then I'd just not bother sharing your remodeling plans with them at all. They'll obviously see when the work is done over time and I'd remind them (If it is needed at that time) that the proper response is: Looks wonderful mom! [/QUOTE]
