Usually when my sister takes mom to eat out either for coffee or lunch, she invites mom herself or the other option is my sister husband pays everything, even if I go with them or not, I always pays my part myself, they never invite me anyway, they only invite mom. Im not complaining here Im just saying that is the way it is. My mom has her own money to pay (it is a pension she receives monthly after my dad passed away 8 years ago) but my sister never wants her to pay her when she takes her out. At this moment im unemployed so it is not that I have spare money or enough money either to go out and eat out often, cause I dont do that especially because im unemployed and I dont have the luxury to spend money often when I go out. There are other times my sister takes my mom out to eat and my mom is the one who goes out I dont and even in that case my sister pays her, because she is the one asking her to go with her.
Anyway, today that we went out to eat, my sister wanted to invite my mom, but she could not invite her so her husband paid for everyone, I was going to pay my part but it was easier for my brother in law to pay one whole bill with a credit card and then I pay him back my part later on. My sister wanted to pay for her share and my mom`s share (not mine like I said) because her husband invited his daughter and his small grandaughter so it was going to be a big tab if he pays her mother in law as well but today was the exception beause my sister did not have enough e money to invite my mom, plus pay for her own share as well , so her husband paid everything. My sister told me she only had $44 on her wallet cause she
So my sister told me that this time that I pay for my mom and myself but then my sister told me "invite her even on the dessert and let mom pay the rest on her own. I mean my mom has money to pay her whole share including the dessert she ordered as well
