[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are of Chinese descent. We would never invite anyone to our house and expect them to pay hefty for entertainment or anything, or leave them out for group activities we initiate. That’s just inconsiderate and rude. I am appalled by this thread.[/quote]

Agree. I think for the most part, as kids are growing up, parents generally give their kids the money to cover whatever expenses are needed for the day's activity. Sometimes it's needed; sometimes it's not. It will depend on the parents making the invitation. But it's unpredictable.

But a ski vacation is a different level of expense. I would never in a million years invite one of my kids significant others on an expensive vacation and expect them to pay for things. But some families do. And the wealthier families tend not to even think about this kind of thing. A $300 dollar lift pass is nothing for them. It doesn't even occur to them that this might be an issue for a college student.

In any event, this is a good test for a young relationship. When thinking long term, families do matter.  [/quote]
