[quote=Anonymous]Short answer, it all depends on your family culture.

Long answer....I'm asian also and I think the customs can depend largely on what part of Asia you come from.  My chinese friends always go dutch. My korean friends - it's a mix - if it's your birthday, the birthday girl or guy may pay for everyone, if there's someone who's older, they might pay, or you might just all split the bill.  There's often a fight over the check.

As for family - my DH and his family are white.  His parents ALWAYS pay.  We've tried to pay many times unsuccessfully, and a couple of times we have even sneakily paid the bill - and FIL got really angry with us.  Like for real, he was furious and sulked all day.  Other siblings have never attempted to pay for the bill.

My family, we almost always pay for my parents, unless it's as a birthday gift for us.  I also usually pay for my younger siblings and their SOs.  Sometimes they've insisted on paying, and we let them, and also they are generous with us in other ways, so it all evens out.[/quote]
