[quote=Anonymous]I cover what I think is reasonable, and then depending on how I feel about what I’m being asked to fund and how much it costs, I might offer to split the difference with her or I might say the remainder is entirely up to her.

I’m not entirely sure what a cat cafe entails, but (depending on info from daughter) I think I’d probably be willing to contribute approximately $25 (viewing it as  entertainment and food).  If she wanted to buy oodles of souvenirs, that would probably be entirely up to her.  If there was an entrance fee, I might go a little higher, but wouldn’t necessarily cover tge entire fee.  If the fee was semi-reasonable, I might split the difference above my limit.  If the fee was really high, the difference would be up to her.

Basically, I’m  willing to cover what I consider reasonable, but that has definite limits.  If she exceeds that limit, and it’s something I support, I’ll match my level of commitment to hers.  If it seems excessive, then she’s free to throw her money at it if she wants, but she’ll be on her own once she exceeds whatever I consider reasonable (which may be $0).
