[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never!!!! When my dad (who is extremely wealthy) started parsing out the bill to the penny, looking back, it was a sign of his incipient mental illness. Again, because he is extremely well off and had always been so generous to us, his kids. Meanwhile, whenever I’m around my mom, I would never let her pay for anything, I know that she depends on every penny, and is very careful with her money, and I adore her treating her. My in-laws always treat us whenever we are out, but we love to pay for big ticket items whenever possible, like covering the cost of the hotels that we stayed at on our trip to Europe, the ferries in Greece, a house rental in the French alps, and a super nice night out that they never would’ve allowed themselves. My husband was recently in their house, he replaced their HVAC and did other repairs, he was Thrilled to be able to help. [/quote]

This is how adults act!  Sometimes parents treat you and sometimes you treat them.  You don’t go literally Dutch in the moment.  It’s just how prosperous people conduct their lives.[/quote]
