Hello ladies. My DS and his wife are short of cash and I’ve supported them financially where I can for couple of years, especially since DGS arrived this year. But I’ve started to feel just lately that I’m being taken for granted and am expected now to pay each time we all meet for dinner, brunch, coffee etc. My DS and DIL don’t even make a weak attempt to try and pay - they usually sit down in cafes after choosing something to whilst I pay at the counter. I’ve firmly decided to stop paying their share of bills when we eat out - and to generally stop being so over generous with my hard earned money. But - I feel so awkward telling DS that I’m no longer his personal bank account. Any snippets of advice? Has anybody else face this problem?
