[quote=Anonymous]My kids are little so I can't speak from that perspective.  My own parents stopped paying at all when I got my first professional job immediately after I got my first professional job.  They would arrange and help pay for trips prior to that and would ask for a contribution that we could afford. They also paid the bill when we went out to eat and still try to sometimes cover it but we cover a lot more now so we'll treat them as well and split things if we vacation together and I'm typically the one that books it for us all and everyone pays me back.

My in-laws never went on vacation with us or at all in the 12 years I knew them. They did not offer to cover almost any meals for us and kept track of anything they ever bought for our kids, didn't tell us but kept the record and "detracted it" from christmas gifts, manipulating us into buying things online for the kids that THEY picked out for THEIR budget and then telling us that we owed them money anyways. It was cruddy.
