Of all of the things that people oddly care about on DCUM, this is by far one of the least egregious.  OP is wondering why her friends are cheap as it relates to her.  That seems reasonable to care about. I don't understand why people care about what state someone's license plate is from or how somebody may have gotten a scholarship to a particular college, but people on here seem to.[/quote]

I have recently been reevaluating friendships. I can think of several people who are just takers.

One friend is generally vain and selfish. I know her husband and she often fight about money because she is a spender. She spends on herself. I have known her for a decade and have treated her countless times, had her family over many, many times and she has never bought me anything, not even a coffee.

Another friend we have hosted 50+ times. Sometimes they are over and we will DoorDash or get take out or Instacart and cook. Of course we don’t ask them to chip in since they are our guests. They never try to pick up a tab if we are out, can’t even buy my kid an ice cream. The husband has a senior position at a well respected tech company. He has to make at least 500k, more likely in seven figures with stock options. I’m beginning to think they are just really cheap and not generous.

Then there are the kids’ friends’ parents who never reciprocate but I won’t hold it against the kids. They are not my adult friends.[/quote]
