Need Your Opinions Here [View all]
My husband and I have allowed my daughter from a previous marriage to live with us while completing her college degree. Her last class is this week, and we were going out to a restaurant tonight to celebrate. The last time all 3 of us went to this restaurant, my daughter (who is quite a ways beyond legal age) ordered a beer with her Mexican food. My husband was not happy, saying he didn't like paying for 'her beer'. It's not that he's against beer drinking in general ... he thinks when a guest goes out to dinner with someone the guest should order the cheapest thing on the menu as a sign of courtesy. The price difference between the soft drink he wanted her to get and the beer she ordered was approximately $2. Am I off base in being upset at him, or is he really as stingy as I think he is? He thinks her expecting us to pay for the one beer she drank with her meal shows a lack of maturity. I think he's being an idiot. He said either I tell her she pays for her own beer or he's going to tell her himself.
