I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time they come into town. Nonetheless, in the past, I have just paid the bill and asked her to pay me back. She never has.Last night, she had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant, and before we left, I made it very clear that I would not be paying her bill this time. That’s where I may have overdone it, and I admit I saw that
trick in an episode of Two and a Half Men.As we were leaving, she and my husband went straight to the car. I pretended I’d forgotten something and went back inside. I found her wallet right on top of her suitcase. I put it in my purse, and we went to the restaurant.When we were done eating, I asked for separate only one because she ”had forgotten” her wallet again. I reached into my purse and said, “This wallet?” She was extremely furious. She said that I should not have touched or grabbed her wallet.By the way, my sister-in-law saw that I posted this story and was furious because I had made her look bad on the internet. Honestly, I don’t care. I hope that she’ll learn her lesson and see it as a wake-up call. As we have seen, the topic of money often proves to be a stumbling block in family relationships. In another article, we shared the story of a woman whose mother-in-law demands money for cleaning their house, even when she is not asked to do so.
