[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised that people's parents pay for the bill! I've never had my parents pick up the tab since I was 22. DH's parents don't pay either. We go dutch.[/quote]

My parents would be completely offended if we paid the bill.  My MIL expects us to pay it.  Different between families. [/quote]
This is so us! [/quote]

Same!!!![/quote]

Third family like this.  My parents at 91 and 85 still have positive cash flow and are still making money.  They treat all of us regularly to everything when we get together.  Mom wouldn't hear of us paying for things.  My sister doesn't make much money, but both my brother and I have good incomes as does my wife.  Mom still pays for everything.  So, if someone invited extra guests, Mom would still pay.  We have friends who moved from here to where my parents live.  Whenever we go to visit my parents, we usually have dinner with these friends.  Mom always picks up the tabs, even recently when they invited another family to join us for dinner.

My MIL on the other hand is living on a fixed income and we usually pay for everything when we do things with her.  Recently she's been a little more sensitive since we've had a lot of kid-related expenses and when we go out, she'll often give me a little cash to cover part of her dinner.  I usually pick up the check and let her control what and how much she pays me back.  But if she invited anyone else, I would still pick up the check and let her decide if she wanted to give me any money and how much.[/quote]
