r/askSG: Daughter asks how to stop her 60yo parents with financial difficulties from treating expensive meals to her rich relatives “for face”.....

[bobafettup]

If she have to ask, she is their exit plan

 

[JohannSu1864]

There are friends n relatives who nv treat people back, just accept shamelessly when people treat.

Perhaps go Dutch
Keeping both finances n relations wif relatives in reality check

She is the problem lor. Everyday ask relatives treat her. Parents treat back she jjww. This child better do your inheritance properly. Later she makan the whole house.

This is how the rich will get richer.... One of the passive methods to befriend with mid-class folk to get even richer. I find wealthy folks can easily accessing to free things

That’s true. Ppl donate their unwanted clothes and accessories to the poor they think they doing hell of a great deed that god shld notice them. But buy expensive gifts for their fav rich idol who wldnt bat an eyelid on them. Somemore must beg those idols to accept their gifts

Just tell them, "你们是不是穷疯了！！！"

[gwbasic]

The parents actually dun need treat relatives outside restaurant, at home everyday got char siew.

 

[niefeng80]

Sounds like a CSB to me.

50s and making household income 30k-40k and kids graduate and work in solid MNCs earning big bucks?

The relatives marry very early and still can manage to do so well in corporate ah.

Tell parents to meet them lesser, no meet no treat

gradually don’t meet or just meet via videocall
Problem solved unless u say through videocall the parents want to order grab food for them

 

[saikangwarrior]

Her family is generous she should be happy. One way is to avoid meeting the relative less, and everyone the relative treat 2 times, return the favor one time.

Since relative sounds rich and continue to treat frequently, they won’t mind also

 

[Nevereatrice]

One way is cut ties

Yes, there’s plenty of this type.
Rich and stingy…..
Shameless is the right term.
