[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So next time take them and toss them when you get to the nearest trash can so she doesn’t know. [/quote]

We’re packing enough in our car. I don’t need to indulge someone else’s will and preferences in this way. We say no thank you and do our best to ignore the pouting. [/quote]
Then continue to make your bed hard Bertha And come pout on the internet.
You and your mother-in-law are the same person you just don’t realize it.[/quote]

This. 
If you don't want the leftovers don't take them, but you and your MIL are behaving in similar manners.

You can also subject making less food, or having the last night be "leftover night".[/quote]

Completely agree. Poor OPs husband married his mom. [/quote]

Walk me through your thought process here.

Person 1 makes an offer

Person 2 politely declines the offer.

Person 1 pushes and pouts, and doesn't take a polite "no" as an answer.

Person 2 continues to politely decline, because they've made a decision and don't need to change it because of pouting and manipulation.

Tell me, exactly, how this behavior is on the same level.[/quote]

Because OP is here, ranting about it and asking Why?, that's why the behavior is one the same level. Both the OP and the MIL have hard positions and will not compromise, and probably go back home.and complain. Same difference.

If you say no, and don't think about it again, and don't post to forums about it = not the same person. If you complain and vent constantly, same person. MiL insists you take leftovers and pouts when you don't, you refuse to take leftovers and pout. 
The sameness is the hard line and then the pouting/complaining. [/quote]

Agree. And we are only getting one side of the story. [/quote]
