[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wife here and a planner. Your wife knows your Dad’s Birthday and that you celebrate it annually. She deliberately made plans so she didn’t have to go and is trying to control the kids as well with the friend’s son.   I simply would tell her she didn’t clear the plans with you so you’ll be taking the kids on Sunday morning/mid-afternoon to their Grandpa’s and her friend’s kid will simply have to be entertained by his mother and your wife.  She can explain to her friend what happened.  Then, have a conversation with your wife about not making assumptions regarding your schedule or your kids and to check with you. [/quote]

OR, the people who want this party every year can communicate with those who they want there (i would argue they already did that by talking to the golden brother about what he wants and when) to set up a date.

To block off 2 weekends in July/August for a grown man's birthday party because you don't know which weekend they will choose for a midweek birthday? Really??? 
This isn't his 75th or 80th or 90th once in a lifetime birthday. This is an annual party for a grown man thrown by his wife who has made it clear she does not respect OP or his family.[/quote]

I don’t see it that way at all.  It’s an annual event. Wife could have asked DH or MIL why weekend the party would be on this year. Instead, she flat out ignored FIL’s annual party and made plans without consulting DH.  The wife has no respect for FIL or her DH.  [/quote]
