[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you think it has to do with the whole/step status but it does not. It’s because you are married. Once you are married you are your own household and I will bet you $1M they feel that it would be an insult to your husbands to pay for you. You are launched. Younger sibs are not. That’s all this is about.[/quote]

When OP and other 30+ sib were in their twenties the parents did NOT pay for restaurant bills for each plus boyfriends/dates etc.  The father and step  mother pay for the 20 + half OP sibs plus their dates.  The dad pays for his DC's from 1st wife when the step mother is not present.

If OP dad and step mom retired since OP was in her twenties and have reduced $ it doesn't explain the pattern.  OP clarified that dad+step mom have $$$ resources so the only variable is step mom.  Any grandchildren also don't get treated to a meal if step mom is present.

Perhaps GC and OP + DH and other full sister family also are on reduced holiday-birthday gifts.  Same for will and beneficiary designations [expect a chnage in those if dad passes away first]. [/quote]
