[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, parents have passed, but when we go out to dinner with DH's sisters and their families -- SIL 1 + DH + 2 adult kids (and sometimes 1 friend of the kids who is like a sibling) , and SIL 2 + 2 adult kids -- we pretty much always pay because we have the most money (probably?). SIL 1's DH often doesn't come, and when we are wrapping up, she'll order him a whole dinner, to go, on our dime, lol. Her family always orders the most expensive things as well, and her DS will order dessert when the rest of us are ready to go -- so not a lot of social intelligence there.

The last time we went out, SIL 2 tried to take the bill from my DH and he laughed and took it back, and she said loudly, "Well, we know who is NOT going to pay for it" and glared at SIL 1.

I find it all mildly amusing. The stuff with SIL 1's family basically tripling the bill due to what they order annoys me, but that's just because of how I was brought up; it's a cultural thing.  [/quote]

That's cultural, that's manners (or lack of manners).  [/quote]
