    Sounds like DD needs to tell step-sis to mind her business and then block! You don't need that kind of negativity, especially from people that have no idea what is actually going on. Don't let it get down, you, DP and DD deserve to be happy x

    My DS moved in with his GF last year, no fall out or anything and I still see him but he took all his bedroom furniture and it made me sad every time I went in the room. So I bought a bed etc and now it’s a functional room it’s much less upsetting.

    Another way would be for dd to respond saying exactly what you said - its going to be in his colours, can be ready for him the minute he comes back but meantime its nice to use the room.  That way he might see the post or hear about the post (which nowadays its likely to be the case) and it reinforces that he is still being taken into account in decisions about the house.   Otherwise the potential reaction is in a knee jerk way that you've all forgotten about him.

    Sometimes people put comments on and its more about them than you.  She's maybe still hurt that she's been forgotten about by her mums boyfriend.  It might be that which was her first thought rather than actually your situation.   You can still be a positive occasional influence in her life even if she's written something you've been upset by just now?

    GLad the room is looking so good, that blue is gorgeous
