33-year-old well-off daughter orders expensive steak in front of family who can't afford it, refuses to continue to pick up their checks: 'Every time the bill comes out, everyone is suddenly going to the bathroom'

Money and family are two of the most drama-inducing subjects in the world. They're at the core of every story. Somebody has money and somebody doesn't. The obligation of family makes you clash like no other. Everybody has had this kind of conflict, even if it's indirect. We can't help it, we're human, and those are very human themes. That's what came up in this story. 

There is always a question around how to act about money with your family, especially if you're all in different boats. Do you pretend like you have less money than you do to make everyone feel better, or do you offer to cover everyone's checks because they sort of expect you to? The answer, as always, is communication, but that isn't as easy as it sounds. Feelings can get easily hurt, and then you end up regretting even starting the conversation. That's why things got awkward around one family member's birthday. Her family thought they were having a night on the town covered by their well-off daughter. She started to feel taken advantage of.
