[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, Indian American here. What you describe is typical and it does drive me bananas. if I"m planning a holiday event and spend all day making desserts, my mom will show up with hers. If I am planning brunch , my MIL will show up with a dish. They don't know how to not do this. I can also assume that this is not the only issue with boundaries. Decide for yourself which fight is worth it and which to let go. For me, I've let the food stuff go because I need them to respect my privacy in other domains and that's where I focus on my push back. They are not happy unless you have a U-Haul's worth of leftovers[/quote]
