[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I'm not sure that a grown woman who plans a birthday party for herself so far out that people have no way to make excuses and have to commit to a lavish party (with a band, no less) months in advance--then when that doesn't work out, then requires family members to commit (again, months in advance) to yet anothe weekend in her honor, is any less narcissistic than the BIL here.[/quote]

Ummm, the people who "couldn't make it" were her KIDS.  So they found another time that works for the entire immediate family to gather.  They made plans, adjusted vacation days, purchased airfare and arranged to gather as a family.  It doesn't matter the reason, other than the family was getting EVERYONE together.  My immediate family well thought out plans takes presidence over anyone else (including family) last minute plans for an event (even if it's only 4 hour flight away).  
When your kids no longer live in the same city as you, you cherish the time together and it takes a lot to arrange when they can all be there (one kid is a doctor in residency, you cannot just say "I want next weekend off" you have to plan and be approved well in advance.  Another is an accountant, so certain times of the year, they cannot just get time off, it's not allowed)
