[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First I invited my mom to go to an ice skating show with my daughters. I bought her ticket. Before we went I bought her food at a restaurant as well. When we go there I spent nearly 100 more dollars on more food/snacks. She didnt offer to buy anything. She also kept eating my daughters popcorn so they kept running out.

Now, I bought tickets to go to the movies. I originally wanted my husband to go with us but she talked me into letting her go. I know that I'm going to have to buy everything and I cant just buy stuff for myself and my girls without offering her something, I feel rude.

I thought it was just common sense to pay for your own food, especially if someone bought you the tickets? It pretty much ruins my mood...[/quote]

As an adult I would never ever expect my parent to pay for anything. Or care if her and her granddaughter were sharing popcorn.

Though I wonder why your parent doesn't offer? We usually have to "fight" our own for the bill.

Maybe mention to your mom that money is tight and ask if she can help out while on an outing? Or let her order and pay for her own snacks? But ... shes your mom.[/quote]
