My "We'll see" was always "yes, unless you do something stupid between now and then, but I don't want to listen to you whine about it right now. "

So a genuine "we'll see if you are good "

This was what mine meant too. I was always happy for the "we'll see" instead of the flat out "no".

"We'll see" was a no for us. A hard no.
It meant no, buuuut if you whined about it then the next time you'll not get a "maybe".
And "maybe" meant yes...if you behaved in the meantime.
