[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s that generation, they take and take and take, expect, expect, expect. They did, after all, sacrifice themselves to give birth to you, you know. That’s a life debt.[/quote]

+1 million!   Their parents (greatest generation) sacrificed so much and gave and gave and gave to their children (boomers.)   Boomers did not do the same for their own kids (Gen X) and  just keep on taking.[/quote]

My greatest gen grandparents took us out to eat every single Sunday and were happy to do it. My father would usually make a flowery speech (''You two mean more to me than my own parents") and they liked that a lot. Their other son-in-law did not say things like that, so they never took that family out.
Now my husband is not the type to make speeches like that either so they don't take us out. My mom will take me out to breakfast but in her words "I'm not paying for him to get a half a** thank you."'
My FIL never ever takes us out because it's a son's job to treat his parents. They take out their late 30s, childless daughter who has more $$ than us on the regular![/quote]
