[quote=Anonymous]My parents are local so this doesn't really come up much with them. The one time we'd took my parents out to dinner, it totally freaked my dad out.  In his mind money travels from parents to kids.  My ILs are not local so there are actual visits back and forth (always a true the other's home, no hotels).   We usually split stuff when we are out with them.  Sometimes they pay for everyone if the other sibs are there (all other sibs are students so have no money).  When they invite relatives to our house, they generally provide the meal, otherwise we generally do the cooking and grocery shopping. They always offer to cook for us, but I usually insist on cooking. When they visit they usually grab a couple bottles of wine and occasionally  some other groceries.  When we visit them, which happens less often, we usually pick up some groceries at some point, especially the kid-specific stuff, but generally they do most of the cooking and grocery shopping.

My SIL will hide a $20 bill in the house before she leaves because she's so afraid she is imposing, which is sweet but infuriating but that's another story. [/quote]
