"Its not your problem"

My daughter has just moved into a new house and hates the carpet she has had fitted. I'm upset for her. My othe D says "Its not your problem " No it's not my problem but I feel for her and her disappointment. Am I the only one who finds the INYP comment annoying. I have one or two friends who use this comment too. I know worrying is my hobby , but surely it's not unreasonable to empathise with my children ? ( and yes it's probably meant to be a helpful comment)

If nothing else, Atqui's thread has given us a useful lesson - don't spend a fortune on carpets unless you're sure you will like them!
3 of our 4 (and us) don't have carpets at all, just floors of wood or tiles of that lino-type flooring, with rugs here and there.
The 4th has the same carpet as when they moved in, and they've got used to it.
Perhaps your daughter will get used to it in time too, Atqui.
