I think you are handling it all very well Accident Just let her come as planned and be your gracious laid-back self. Many times we anticipate the 'worst' in life and luckily it never happens Truly...

PEACE...
it means to be in the midst
of noise, trouble and strife
and still be calm
in your heart.

Yeah, we are going to show her the plan and she can pick stuff off of that. She's a great person, really nice and ridiculously smart, it's just that she doesn't know how to go with the flow sometimes.

My future sister-in-law is the same way with our wedding. She does the offering again and again after being told "No, thanks" thing. Each time with a self-deprecating "I know I already asked, but I just wanted to offer" or "I know you're probably sick of me asking". Finally I jokingly just said "eah, knock it off, will you?" and it has still happened once since then. MIL is a bit of a different situation though.

Sounds like the best thing is just what you're doing. Just remember that she's getting old and probably feeling old too since retiring. Sometimes people just want someone to appreciate their contribution to something and to feel useful, and they just don't think about whether you need it or not.

I take it on a case-by-case, much like people that are fishing for compliments. Sometimes they are extremely annoying and shouldn't be encouraged, but other times tossing them a compliment is not hard to do and they could probably use one.

I think I would try to graciously say to her that the party is for her to enjoy, not throw! You really appreciate her help, but you do have things under control and just want her to be able to relax for once and let people wait on her.
