Can TBMs ask for anything without emotional coercion? (swear)

So my long-inactive, single sister is pregnant and TBM mom sent an email to all of us siblings asking for support.

No, wait... she sent a message full of accusations of selfishness and emotional language telling us how sweet and wonderful DS has always been to us and implying that we are pieces of shit if we don't support her the exact way that she's prescribing. She wraps it up with a patronizing jab:

"Please step out of yourselves for the few moments it will take during a week to help her boost her self-esteem and self-confidence. "Baby XXX" needs smiles and pats on the head in whatever form we can send/bring them."

Is she a fucking poodle or something? Oh, and "Baby XXX" is 34 years old and manager of a successful non-profit.

I may be overreacting, but the constant infantilization and manipulation is something I will simply not accept any longer.
