'It rubbed me the wrong way': 34-year-old son refuses to split late Mother's Day dinner bill with his brothers, after already taking her out on Mother's Day without them, expecting them to pay for his portion of the dinner

Now, this is an interesting one… When we're young and out with family, the bill arriving at the table never caused such a 'hooray', because we knew that our parents would cover it…We were young and jobless at 13, so we would pay it back in "Thank you, dad/mom" or cuddles. Because the cash was certainly lacking on behalf of our 11-year-old selves. 

But then we grow up, have families of our own, and splitting the bill no longer automatically falls on our parents. Hopefully, by 34, we're stashing more cash away than we did at 16. 

This adult brother seems to be in a bit of a sticky situation whilst celebrating a late Mother's Day dinner. During actual Mother's Day, his brothers were brunching away with their wives and children, leaving him to spend the day with their mom. He did so by taking her for a nice little Mexican meal. But a few days later, they're all out for a celebratory dinner, and the bill arrives…cue awkward silence, who's going to pick it up…? Well, he made it very clear that he was not, and even went on to hint that he expected someone else to cover his portion, leading to some expected family tension flowing between the broccoli and rice.
