We were out last night for dinner for mils birthday. 12 in total, dp, dd2 and I, dsil1 and her dp, dsil2, her dh, dc and their partners and dmil. We'd brought cash, expecting to split the bill and treat dmil (dsil 2 had arranged booking etc).
At start of night dsils dh asks loudly "So, are you paying for this mil?", she says that yes it's her treat.
To dsils dh this note seems to be a contest to see how many rounds of drink, how many expensive dishes etc he can order. I was always brought up to think that if someone else is paying you chose the cheapest thing on the menu that you like?
At end of evening I say " mil, we'll pay for the drinks if you've gotten the good ", dsils dh pipes up " No, mil said she was paying!? ", so mil says " no, it's fine, I'm paying. "
So aibu? Is dsils dh a grasping pig? (Oh, and they are able to afford their share)
