‘I ended up using a Cash App loan to cover the meal’: Entitled mother pawns restaurant bill off onto her adult kid, despite making it clear they cannot afford eating out

Family takes care of family—usually. Sometimes, family will try to enter through every nook and cranny to get under your thick skin, just so they can gain something from it in the process. Of course, we'd like to think that our family members wouldn't do this to us. They couldn't possibly want to take advantage of us, our kindness, our finances—could they? That's the thing about humanity: It always finds a way of surprising you (and humbling you).

Your mother invites you to dinner, and you tell her you're not capable of paying for the meal because money is tight. She tells you not to worry about it and accompany her anyway. What is dinner etiquette in this scenario in regard to paying the bill? One would assume their mother is treating them to dinner, correct? That's what the kid in this story thought until the mother forced the check on them and they had to take out a loan from a banking app just to get the meal paid for. What could possibly be next? The mother gets angry with them for being angry with her. Make it make sense. Scroll to read.
