Who pays

Question

When you and and your SO including your kids go out to eat with your family or in-laws do you pay for them ? Or do you only and your SO only pay for yourselves? Also should family assume you will pay for them?

Answer

My parents or in-laws always pay for my husband and me

Answer

If you inviting them out you should always pay for them. It’s your invitation. However, other way you can always volunteer to pay. It’s family.

Answer

My family or in-laws almost always pay for us. We always offer to pay for half the table (I have 4 sisters and I ain’t paying for all that), once or twice my mom’s taken me up on that.

Answer

never been an issue in our family.
whenever we invite our family out, they try to pay but we decline and pay for everyone. whenever family invites us out, we try to pay, they decide and pay for everyone.
so we made it tradition- whoever invites others out, pays the tab, so we avoid unnecessary moments of " please let me pay SOMETHING" or " I'll pay for the tip".
we go out every other week. get invited or we invite our family. it works out fine every time.

Answer

Its never an issue when we go out to eat with my family, whether we invite or not my parents always want to pay and we will cover the tip. They tell us to save the money for our kids, when we go out to eat with the in-laws it gets stressful only because its four adults( FIL,MIL, BIL and SIL) my husband and i don’t mind paying but it seems like FIL always assumes we will pay for him and his wife. I mean they will invite and then he will look at his son like waiting for him to pay for them. BIL is super stingy with his money and wont pay for them and then FIL will act like he doesn’t have the money and my husband will feel guilty and end up paying for them.
