[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does everyone have reading comprehension problems?
OP's mom was called and the mom was enthused. So the issue is not OP's folks.

OP is disappointed that her ILs only responded Yes to her DH's text.

OP, it is good they said yes but I agree, if it has been years since you visited for these holidays, it would have been nice if they sounded happier.  Still, I would let it go and try to enjoy the moment when you have the visit.  Imagine if these were the last 3 days you have with  them, with your family with them, how would you like to spend those 3 days?

You have reading comprehension problems. Here is the OP again:

"I call my parents to run dates by them. Mom’s response: we’ll be here, glad you’re coming, so I won’t have to mail presents.

Spouse texts his parents (preferred method of communication) with proposed dates, asks if those dates work. Response: yes.

[b]Am I too sensitive? Would love some enthusiasm for our visit on either or both sides. I’m packing up small children and am embarking on a full day drive each way to share time with you. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Bah humbug!"[/b]
