[quote=Anonymous]MIL is being manipulative. She’s wedging her way in, inviting herself over and announcing that she’s coming over using a pretense that she’s created..ie I made muffins or soup. When OP says no to the uninvited announcement that she is coming, MIL pouts, throws a little fit and leans back to the pretense of but the muffins won’t be fresh! MIL ignores that she’s been told no and proceeds to want to drop them on the porch but hangs around peering in the windows. She is not making muffins out of kindness. Kindness has nothing to do with her motives. She’s doing it to get her way. She gets a little dopamine rush when she succeeds at this. OP you have to say no thank you, we don’t want these and not give in. Do not give in. Repeat this. When you give in, she gets a little dopamine rush that makes her feel good. The next time you say no and she feels disappointed she’ll remember how good it felt when she was pushy and demanded she got her way until it worked. [/quote]
