[quote=Anonymous]At age 24, I made $26k per year. At age 37, I was making $170k per year. Pretty sure my parents paid for me when I was 24 and we went out - I would be embarrassed to have them pay when I was 37 with two kids (and I’m not including DH’s income).

How much is you HHI, OP? And what do your two youngest sisters make? Unless you make similar amounts to them, I think you are being petty about paying for dinner and hosting. And if hosting is getting too expensive, make it potluck.

You seem to be looking for problems with your parents and siblings instead of focusing on how amazing it is to be able to get together so regularly. As someone who also comes from a large family, it’s also an amazing and unique experience for your kids to get to know their aunts and grand parents so well - and it’s something your younger sisters’ kids will not get - by the time they have kids, yours will be grown and won’t want to come to weekly dinner, and your parents may not be in good health (or even alive). Stop comparing, and appreciate what you have. [/quote]
