OP thinks it's not fair since they don't do this when their brother is paying.
So, OP and their brother Paul, who's 31 and a dude with a flair for life, both packed their bags and moved near their parents about a year ago. As part of their grand sibling agreement, they decided on something awesome - a bi-monthly family dinner ritual.
Twice a month, they'd go out with their parents, and here's the catch: Paul and OP would take turns footing the bill. Cool, right?
Now, let's paint the scene. OP and Paul, both knee-deep in their careers, make a pretty penny and are riding high on the success train. But there's a sneaky little twist in the plot. OP starts noticing something fishy.
When it's Paul's turn to pay, it's all about food court vibes, mall pizzas, and budget-friendly joints. But, hold your horses; when it's OP's turn, suddenly, the family's dining at fancy-schmancy restaurants with price tags that could make your eyes pop out.
OP, ever the curious detective, finally decides to Sherlock Holmes their way into this peculiar mystery. But they're not letting Paul in on the secret mission just yet. They have a heart-to-heart with their parents and straight-up ask them about this.
The parents spill the beans, or rather the lobster bisque. They reveal that Paul's got a new lady in his life, and apparently, the parental units are all about him making "plans."
And by that, they mean saving up some serious dough. The surprising part? The lady's not expecting, and Paul's not dropping to one knee anytime soon. So, what's the deal?
Well, turns out OP's parents are playing a bit of a restaurant game, and here's where it gets interesting. They're all about helping Paul save some moolah for his upcoming, ahem, future.
And, here's the kicker - they think because OP's still young and single, they can handle the bill without a hiccup. Interesting logic, right?
OP decides they're not going to join in on these culinary escapades unless the scales are balanced. They're not about to be part of a family dinner where the bill games are rigged.
According to the parents, OP's breaking their word about the whole dinner arrangement. But guess what? OP's standing their ground, confident that they're not asking for anything unreasonable. OP's not asking for the moon and stars; they're just looking for a level playing field when it comes to splitting the dinner bills.
It seems like everyone in the comments sided with OP on this.
