I have 3 sons 2 youngest with dh and older son from previous relationship.
My son(19) is now working and earns as much as dh (same job)
When we went out for a meal my dh paid but expected my son to pay his own way.
Ds feels this is because he is not biologically his and he's feeling left out.
Dh sees this as 2 grown men earning the same while he has all the bills to pay and younger sons to pay for so he should pay his own.
I didn't know this was the case as it was my birthday meal so I wasn't paying but I would have paid for all my sons if I was.
Was it unreasonable to expect my eldest to pay as he's earning or was he right to feel left out?
For context they have a very good relationship and dh always does a lot for ds.

That son pays for his own meal while younger siblings don't.
