My father once took credit for an idea about how to do something when in the previous conversation he’d argued against my suggestion. He really believed it was his idea. I hung and called my mother exasperated because I knew she’d understand after being married to him for how ever many years (divorce). She was just like, yeah, what can you do. It sucks.
So, what can you do. It sucks.
Thank you. I guess realizing there isn't much you can actually do is kind of liberating
Glad that helped. Good luck.
