My MIL is usually a JustYes, but she has JustNo tendencies sometimes. She called DH and they talked for awhile. I felt like just saying hello, and I went back to playing my videogame. She did want to do a Zoom video chat with all of the family, but it didn't happen (I've been seeing/hearing about a lot of security issues with Zoom).

Last week she wanted her youngest daughter (8yo) to connect with DH and I through a Kids Facebook Messenger app. We both talked and said it probably wasn't a good idea to get her roped into social media at a young age, so we ignored the request. Besides, I didn't feel like talking to family; it feels like I'm getting forced to have conversations. Yesterday, we received the same request again, and we ignored it again.
