Absolutely. Tip whatever you think they deserve. It is "your" money after all.

My kids make far less than that and live in shared housing with roommates in DC. They tip 25 percent.

If you know how much your kids tip when they go out, you need to step back. That sounds very wrong.

You could only wish you had the same kind of relationship with your kids that I have with mine. We see each other all the time and they don’t expect us to pick up the tab every time. That’s how I know how they tip. That’s how their roommates tip too. That’s how generous people conduct themselves in real life.

Yeah, i don't know how much my kids tip. I usually take them out and pay. You should try sometime.

Yea and if they knew how cheap you were they’d be horrified. They probably add to the tip when you’re not looking. That’s what we used to do when our Australian friends took us to dinner.

I doubt that. They are 7 and 9.

Then your snippy retort “you should try that some time” is beyond silly. Your kids aren’t adults.

What you ARE though, is that nightmare table that nobody wants to wait on. You know, a lady with two little kids who make a huge mess eating their low cost kids’ meals only to be stiffed by their cheap ass mother.

Where did you get the idea we are rich liberal women? Perhaps in your imagination?

Many of us are practical, rational humans who have household budgets and must be careful with our expenses.

Politics has nothing to do with it.

+1 I used to wait tables, too, and no way I’m going up to 22 or 25%.

The menu prices have gone up 30-50% so their tip have too. I don't need to increase over 20%.

DP Almost every time I go out to eat with my adult daughter she picks up the check. She is very generous to her mother and also to those who wait on her. Maybe you can't try this sometime because your adult kids don't do that, that's why I'm sharing it with you. Maybe someday it will happen to you if you model generosity to them.

So what's your point? Teach your kids to save money.

Teach yours to be generous.

That's not generous. That's idiotic.
