Wealthy Redditor Expected To Pay SIL's Bachelorette Party, But She Says No And Gets Whole Family On Her Back

It's common for people of different socio-economic backgrounds to come into contact with one another and sometimes even become friends. However, this can lead to an awkward situation regarding money: those with less money may expect their wealthy friends and family members to pay for things they are in no way obligated to.

This is a common problem, especially between people of different generations. For example, some people may view their wealthy friends or family members as a source of financial support and expect them to pay for their meals, trips, or other activities without considering the other person's financial situation or their own.

This is a significant problem, as it can lead to feelings of resentment and guilt on both sides, like In today's story.

OP attended her sister-in-law's bachelorette party. OP and her husband, 26, have both achieved high levels of success and live a comfortable life.

OP's sister-in-law still lives at home with her parents and is on marriage #2. At the end of the dinner, the bill was handed to OP, and SIL suggested that OP and her husband pay for the bill as a wedding gift.

Feeling blindsided and offended, OP called SIL an entitled brat and paid for her half of the bill before leaving. OP's mother-in-law and other family members have been furious and are expecting an apology from OP, who refuses to do so.

OP's husband is on her side, and they are debating not attending the wedding.
