In today's Dear Annie column, a reader wants to know what Annie Lane thinks about her husband's daughter paying for her dad's meal but not hers when they were invited to visit.
Annie Lane thinks a reader's daughter-in-law could use some lessons in table manners after paying for her dad's meal but making the reader pay for herself.After more than 30 years, the love of my life and I have finally reunited. Only now we have adult children who sometimes make things a little more complicated.
This past weekend, his daughter invited us over to see her new place and celebrate my husband’s birthday. So I filled the tank in the car, which is sorely needing repairs, and we drove an hour and a half to his daughter’s house and then to the restaurant. Upon ordering, his daughter announced to the waitress that they would only be paying for their meals , and my meal would be on a separate check.
My partner and I awkwardly laughed it off at the restaurant, but I was left feeling like I was punched in the stomach. I was fine to pay for my own dinner, but she and her fiance are in their mid-20s and have great jobs, so I feel like there was more at play here than them simply being cheap. I would love your opinion on this. -- Stuck With the CheckWell, she certainly loses points for etiquette.
It’s great that you support your husband’s relationships with his children. Despite the difficulties you’re facing, it’s important that you continue to do so. Ask your husband if his daughter has any reason to be upset with you, or if he has any theories as to why she might be having a hard time accepting you into her family. Without more context, it’s hard to know why she is acting this way -- but it does seem to extend beyond basic table manners.
