[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't control their feelings. "It's lovely of you to think of us, but we already have plans." Then don't argue, don't give excuses, don't try to justify yourself. Just repeat, "Thank you, but we have plans." [/quote] This. You made a mistake by saying that you didn’t want to come because you didn’t want the food to go to waste. Once you offer up reasons, you open the door for them to argue with your reasoning (“oh, just bring it - it won’t go to waste) instead of drawing clear boundaries. [/quote]
