[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want/expect them to join you, it would be nice if you paid.  If you don't want to pay, I think that's fine, but I wouldn't expect them to come along in that case. [/quote]

+2  Especially in the 20's, I imagine that we will offer to pay all expenses for our children (and SOs) to come on vacations if it is some sort of "big" trip like a cruise or touring a country or something.  I also can see us reimbursing gas or giving the child a couple of C notes if s/he drives to see us either at our primary or secondary home.

At some point, though, it all shifts.  Both of us have parents who are more than capable of paying their own way on trips but we pay for them when we invite them on trips with us.  Heck, we even pay for 1st or business class for our parents and we fly in the cattle car (because I think that the other prices are insane but our folks do enjoy the extra space and attention).

I think it depends on who issues the invitation.  If you want them to come and issue an invitation then you should pay, whether you are the parents or the child.[/quote]
