[quote=Anonymous]My mother, and my MIL and FIL visited this weekend for an event at my childrens school.  My mom is from out of state, and my ILs live about 2.5 hours away.  My mom came in Wednesday and left today.  My ILs came in on Friday morning (met at school) and were planning to stay until tomorrow.  My adult stepsons were planning to visit tonight, but canceled this afternoon. I am pretty sure one has a date tonight, they are standard young aduls with jobs and college and relationships.

I drove my mom to the airport, and when I returned home my MIL stated they might leave tonight.  I said I understood and hoped they stayed.  I knew they were only staying an extra nigh to see the stepsons so I wasn't surprised to hear they ight leave early.  I was a litle sad to see my mom go and a bit distracted, and was playing with or kids.  30 minutes later, I see their bags at the door.  My FIL says they are leaving, he has things he needs to do at home.  I give the typical response - thank you for visiting, hate to see you leave early, have a safe drive back. He's pleasant.  I start washing a couple dishes (k-cup coffee holders - she likes to bring her own coffee grounds) my MIL brought, and she comes and and abruptly says they are leaving.  I tell her FIL told me so I was cleaning her the k-cups, and she snapped that she was going to wash them at home. I repeated the same pleasantries.  All of her responses are short. I asked her if everything was ok, and she said yes. She was nice to the kids, but very very short with me.  I'm now trying to figure out what I did or said or didn't say.  I want to apologize for whatever slight I did, but I don't want to just say it like that.  The visit had gone well up until I returned from the airport.

What to do you do when you upset someone but don't know what you did?[/quote]
