[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re an adult and expecting your parent to pay for your meals? This is a joke, right? How old are you turning tomorrow?[/quote]
OP has some strong opinions but your opinion that it’s strange to expect someone to pay for your meal on your birthday is astounding. It’s normal. [/quote]

Whoever does the inviting traditionally pays. Nothing in OP suggests this year or last year was orchestrated by OP’s mom. [/quote]
Wow. You people are cheap and weird. I have a friend who orchestrates her own birthday dinner, only because it’s easiest for HER to corral her friend group together and keep tabs on how many will be attending. It’s fine. There hasn’t been a single birthday that the rest of us didn’t fight over who would pick up her tab. [/quote]

Actually I’m not cheap. DH orchestrates my birthday dinners and then he (we) pick up the tab. OP says “we all” (bigger group it seems) are going out for her bday. I have no idea why she would assume her mom would pick up that check and I think she’s quite right to assume she won’t. [/quote]
You misunderstood me and OP.

We (the group) argue about picking up the singular tab of only the food/drink consumed by the birthday girl. We all individually pay for our own food/drinks consumed.

I think OP wishes her mother would treat her to a birthday dinner (her own singular tab of food/drink consumed by just her) and I agree, I would too, and I find it odd to dine with a friend on their birthday—no matter who invited—and have them pay for their own meal.[/quote]
