[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents should pay unless you are taking them out or they can’t afford it. If they can’t afford it you should split. My mom is 93, she always pays. [/quote] Still mooching off your mom? :roll: [/quote] DP, but some people greatly resist the change in status from being the primary career to being cared for. It’s a big blow to their self image. My mother is this way. If I go pick up something from the store, she insists on giving me cash for it. I have this magic list of made up prices that I tell her (“oh, I don’t know, I got a prime deal and used points -$5?”). [/quote] +1 My in-laws were this way. They grew up very poor so it was part of how they saw themselves having escaped into the middle class. On the other hand, my mother saw us paying as the return that she was owed on having birthed me.
