Her Sister Asked If She Could Host A Birthday Party For Her Nephew At Her House, But She Said No Because This Kid Is Disrespectful To Her And Her Dog
This 24-year-old girl lives on 4 acres of land that she purchased from her grandmother, who moved into a retirement home.
She and her grandmother have always had a good relationship, and she’s always been there to help her grandmother take care of the property. When she got too old to manage it, her grandmother offered to sell it to her.
At the end of the month, her nephew is turning 16, and her sister asked her if they could host the birthday party on the “family’s property,” referring to her land.
She told her sister no because of the strained relationship she has with her nephew. He disrespects her boundaries and is disrespectful to her and her elderly dog.
Her nephew constantly chases and tries to pick up Davos, a black lab, even after she asks her nephew to cut it out.
“Davos has arthritis and can’t be chased around and hates loud noises, which my nephew is very loud,” she explained.
Her sister was angry at the rejection and claimed that she was putting her dog before her nephew. Additionally, her sister claimed that since it was their grandmother’s property, she couldn’t decide who could and couldn’t be there.
However, she explained to her sister that it is, in fact, her property because she purchased it, took care of it and paid the bills.
Even though the property was never offered to anyone except herself, she highly doubts that her sister or anyone else would have been interested in it anyway.

Most of her family doesn’t seem to care as much about the property as she does, so she’s confused by why her sister thinks she has the right to host a party there whenever she chooses.
“It is very old and outdated, and my sister especially always talked about how much she hated the aesthetic of the house. The sole reason she wants to host it here is [that] my house has the most space. It’s not a sentimental space for her,” she said.
However, it seems like her sister was able to get some of their family members on her own side. Rather than understanding the boundaries that she had set, her mother attempted to get her to compromise so that everyone would get what they wanted.
“My mom called me and asked if I could just put Davos in a room during the party and suck it up for just a day, but I said no. This is his house, and he’s allowed to go wherever he wants, and I won’t shut him in a room,” she stated.
Now, there is tension within the family where some members are on her side, and others are calling her selfish and not mature. Some members, like her father, are just avoiding getting involved in the matter.
Do you think that she should let her nephew have his birthday party at her property? Or do you think that she has the right to refuse?
