My mother-in-law doesn't want to answer the video. How to reply to text?

If you don't want to reply to your mother-in-law's video request, you can politely reply to a short message first, stating that you can't come to the phone now and ask her what's the matter. For example:

"Dear mother-in-law, hello! I can't come to the phone right now. What can I do for you? "

If you still don't want to answer the video after your mother-in-law replies, you can reply to a short message and tell her that you will call back later. For example:

"Dear mother-in-law, I know you want to chat with me, but I really can't now. I'll call you in half an hour, okay? "

Please remember to be as polite and respectful as possible to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding or conflict.
