[quote=Anonymous]I am not really good at reading in between the lines. And my MIL speaks in code so I need some help deciphering.

We invited them over to visit, and spend some time with the kids. Nice visit, and as usual, the kids were showered with gifts. We took them out to lunch, and they insisted on paying the bill.  They don’t get to see the kids much over the school year, because of their schedules. Maybe once every couple months even though they live only an hour away.

Summer is our chance to spend time with family and friends who are all over. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc. MIL has historically been emotionally needy and in tears over not seeing her grandchildren enough. But also has expressed frustration about being used for babysitting the grandchildren (usually speaking of the other grandchildren, but maybe she says the same about us). She also often posts on Facebook about how she misses her grandchildren and wishes they knew how much she thinks of them constantly.

Well this summer, they booked a 3 week long trip that started exactly when the kids were done school for the summer. And they pretty much came back just as they were starting summer camp for a month. So they haven’t seen them until now.

As they were leaving, MIL says, well you guys “enjoy the rest of your summer”. Said weirdly. And I was like, “well hopefully we’ll see you again before the end of the summer” and she says “well the summer is already half over- it’s end of July” and then they left.

Ok. So does this mean she wants to see them or not? And should I even be giving this a second thought, and just let my DH figure it out?[/quote]
