Dealing with in-laws can be a challenge, but when your mother-in-law goes out of her way to rack up a 500 dollar dinner bill on your own parents dime, things become a little tense. When she tried the same thing again, OP decided it was time for a financial intervention. The internet judged. For some weird in-law shenanigans, here's the woman who introduced her mother-in-law to her dad and ended up technically being married to her step-brother.

    Font - * r/AmItheAsshole - Posted by u/predicament29 8 hours ago AITA for withdrawing support over a meal? Once a year (not last) my family goes to a fancy restaurant. Like a place where steaks are 45+ and sides al a carte. It's a fun treat for us kids at least, as our parents pay. We all catch up, and we get to try places we never can't afford ( yet) ourselves. So 2019 when we went, my parents invited my fiancé's mom as we were newly engaged and she hasn't met everyone. When invited his mom exp

    Font - I left absolutely disgusted with his mom. She got 4 whiskey sours, red wine, coke, the most expensive steak,added shrimp and lobster. Then got 3 sides and dessert. Her bill alone was just over $500. Meanwhile the single highest bill for the other 7 people was $82. My parents bit the cost and asked me not to complain, they don't want to start anything. BF was equally mad and talked to her. She tried to say that since they picked the restaurant they can afford it, so it wasn't a big deal. W

    Font - Well this year, my mom invited her again, despite my no, but not so subtlety added a cap to the price point. Well 20 min or so in the dinner, BF's sister and son show up unexpectedly which pissed me off, but she asked for her own check, so at least she wasn't coming for a free meal. Her card denied. His mom claimed to not bring her wallet. Bf immediately asked for her check, but my dad being my dad went ahead and paid it. Walking out his sis jokingly asked where we were going next year. H

The future MIL's actions were pretty gross and entitled. And, I'm certain she planned this little show with her daughter. But, beware OP. This is the family that you will marry into. That deserves some deep thought and consideration.

    Font - simplynelbelle - 8h NTA... I say this out of care but are you sure you want to marry into this family? Your fiancé may not be that way but you will become family with these people. It sounds like you will be signing up to bankroll his side of the family in the long run. 2.7k Reply Share Report Save predicament29 OP · 8h His family is the type to pass around money, and we agreed to never get involved before, but she was in a bad accident in 2019, and paying 1/4 rent was affordable.

    Font - emccm · 8h - edited 6h Partassipant [4] NTA. I would cancel another month to get back the $500 too. Those people have some nerve. You have seen how they expect others to take care of them. People like this will assume that you and your fiancé have the same money your parents do and they will expect you to pay for things. Make it clear now that that is not happening. My father is like that. He doesn't take advantage in that he orders the most expensive stuff but he sits back and expects me
