[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are overthinking this.  You know when you are going out with them so take cash.  When you get up from the table you linger for a second ( take a sip of water, pretend to hand trouble getting your coat on, whatever) and you discreetly leave the cash.  There is no need to explain to the server.[/quote] This. It seems like you are trying to point out how magnanimous you are compared to the ILs. Just be discrete and do the  right thing.[/quote]

+1. Soon your kids and their spouses will be posting about how their ILs always run to the ATM because they fail to plan properly.[/quote]

OP here, you're so right! I hope that's the biggest problem they have with us.
I think I just felt so badly about this last time in particular, the young girl waiting on us was great with the kids, cut their food for them and everything (pizza with the roller, which they loved to watch?!), ran around getting drink covers for them, got my MIL special sugar packet, all on a hot day outside on a patio and got $6. And there we were with no cash and feeling really crappy.
Thanks everyone![/quote]
