You know what I don't like, is when someone messages me saying "I'm sorry to bother you, I know you're doing stuff today......" That's my sister-in-law, today. She knew I have things today, but she needs to bother me about Mother's Day thing she wants to make which I really don't need her to make anything for me for Mother's Day. Like should that be something my kids do, or my husband do. I know my husband isn't asking her. I know she isn't really sorry but if she was, she could wait till tomorrow or next weekend if she sees me. The answer would be no because she doesn't need to do anything for me for that day.

She may want to, even though you don't exactly need it.

This is also coming from the same sister-in-law who fussed over her dog's picture being on social media. I honestly don't need anything for Monther's days. It's not her job even if she wants to. She has no right to demand I give her a picture or for me to take a picture. It's one thing if she asked, hey, is it alright if I make something or get you something for Mother's Day then I might have said yes. Again she knew I was doing stuff today and asked by saying sorry to bother you. Now after sending that message she asked me 2 hours later if I could for 2 days dog sisters for her during the summer vs. finding or paying someone to take care of her dog because my dad won't be home all day while they are gone on vacation. That gives off the vibe of her doing something nice for me there for that means I have to do something for her in return.

SIGH I know how you feel if you don't want someone doing anything for you and they insistent, Perhaps you can just tell her to do whatever she thinks best,

Me told her that I don't need anything. If I'm getting anything from Mother's day it should be from my husband and my kids. I'm their mother, not her mother. I never get her anything for Mother's day because she isn't my mom. She isn't insisting she is demeaning. I don't do demands. She only wants to do something so that I have to feel obligated to what her dog for 2 days. Because 2 hours later after this message she bothered me again.
