[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so offended that parents of boys don’t help with the wedding. I plan on paying exactly half, alongside the brides parents.

My in laws wouldn’t give me an amount for a rehearsal dinner so we had a super low budget one with pizzas that cost us $200. That was all we could afford after the wedding and our car had died and we had to buy a new one. So for my wedding my in-laws gave us $200. Didn’t even cover one plate. [/quote]

Offended is a funny word for entitled.[/quote]

Yes, grown adults de facto expecting their parents/in-laws to contribute a certain amount to weddings is entitled. However being offended if parents opt to provide different levels of financial assistance to their children based solely on their gender and out dated traditions is perfectly understandable and frankly it’s wild that so many people on DCUM (many of whom who would probably describe themselves as feminists) think this okay.

Would you tell a girl who was upset that her parents paid for college for her brother but refused to pay for her based on her gender that she was being entitled?
