I've been very chatty on here this morning.

You know I've been around and around on my in-laws and where I am with them.

I've decided that I can be wherever I want to be. I don't need to continue to be the person filling in the gaps in a family that doesn't really care if those gaps are filled in.

If you want to see MIL, see her. If you feel it will be beneficial for the boys to maintain regular contact with her, have a talk with H. But in my experience you're right, visits for boys that age can be tedious after the first 20 minutes unless there's an activity involved.

Sit back for a while and see what develops. See if the emotional connection is important enough for them to make a move.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
