Relationship with In-law
My father is turning 90 years old soon. Recently I heard that my nephew's wife was planning his birthday party. She told my sister this. I mentioned to my sister that I was not thrilled that my nephew's wife would take that responsibility on as I believe it should be up to my sister and I, not my nephew's wife. When I contacted my niece about attending the party she told me that she had already been contacted by my nephew's wife. I think that is presumptous of my nephew's wife to make plans like that without talking to me. Am I correct?

I think you're right about this. It's your father that's having the 90th birthday, not hers. By her having the party for him it might make it look like you and your sister "don't care".. or whatever. I know that's not the truth, but it could come across that way. I think that your nephew's wife was way out of line, but she was just trying to do something nice. Maybe she feels like she doesn't fit in with the family and doing something like this will make everyone like her. You and your sister should try talking to her about this. She might be willing to back down about the party, but if not you should try to help her with the planning as much as possible.

you are definitely right, i'm sure you and your sister are a lot closer to your father than your nephew's wife, so it only makes sence that his daughters should plan his 90th birthday party. but if she's doing this, that probably means she cares about him too, so maybe you could talk to her about how you feel and you could all do it together - your sister, you, and your nephew's wife. i remeber my brother's ex-wife cared about our grandfather more than some of us, and i can imagine her planning his birthday... so please, try to understand her if she's doing this because she cares about your father.

I agree with you. He's your father and you and your sister should be the ones who get to plan such a special party. The least your nephew's wife could have done was ask you if she could help you plan it, not take over the whole show.

I agree with you, you are immediate family, and you are his daughter, there for it should be your responsibility; you should talk to her about how you are feeling. Who knows, you two could possibly work together on his birthday. Wishing your father a happy 90th birthday:)
