Mother of 6 charges sister's family $250 for staying at her house for a weekend: 'I did a grocery run before arriving. I never wanted to be a burden on her.'

Money is such a tricky topic to broach, especially among family members. You can get away with never really talking about specific finances with your friends, but with family, it's inevitable. It's even more inevitable when you travel together and do things together regularly. Some people are strict splitters: you put down two cards at every table, and you'll pay evenly down the line by golly. Others are even more specific: they want everyone to pay for exactly what they ordered, with no exceptions. I know people who will fight you so that they can cover every check that ever comes between you too. Then you have to do the song and dance of "No, I insist," and the ball starts rolling.

One woman found herself in a strange financial situation with her sister. After staying at her sister's house for the weekend, she asked her to give her $250 to cover costs.
