ok, thought I might update this.

After Dh asked MIL about it, things went very quiet andn uncomfortable between us and DH's family. Everytime DH asked for an answer MIL would refuse to answer him and would suggest other alternatives.

This morning however, DH went over to his parents house to get things sorted. After all we needed an answer soon.

DH was gone a good while and upon his return, he tells me that his mum and grandma are good for us to rent the house, however his aunt doesnt want us to because it would hinder them (her) being able to sell it once grandma passes. (The house is still owned by grandma, but MIL is the one who takes care of all decisions. Also the house goes to MIL and aunt once grandma passes on)

So my thinking is that granddad came to me, to ask us to rent the house because he doesnt want it sold? It kind of makes sense, with us in there they will be less likely to sell it because they wont want to truf out family opposed to the 'tenant'.

So thats my thinking on granddad's grand scheme of coming to me in my dreams. WDYT?
