Am I? DP and I earn reasonably well - not rich but both higher crate tax payers so very comfortably off. We had a few tough years with lots of costs + training salaries and a redundancy but we're beyond that now.
Trouble is both sets of parents always foot the bill when out for dinner. The only time I ever have an outlay is if I entertain them at home and even then they usually bring a gift some terribly posh wine.
Anyway I am starting to feel awkward because while DP's dad undoubtedly does earn more than us, he does know I'm doing okay, because we move in similar circles. With my own parents it's different because they are retired but won't let me pay for a thing.
I don't know if u should feel guilty or not? My parents won't let me put a hand in my pocket until mortgage is smaller and their reasoning is they have enough for two retirements but they still live more frugally than me. DP's dad is a very high earner but I kind of feel the offer to pay or whatever should come from DP not me. I always offer a round of drinks if out but I feel bloody macho doing do - DP wouldn't think, nor would his DM ir mine...
