One Reddit user is feeling frustrated with their nephew's expensive eating habits during family dinners. Despite always offering to pay, the nephew consistently orders the most expensive items on the menu and then never finishes them. The user is wondering if they are in the wrong for wanting to speak to their wife about asking the nephew to limit his orders. However, the user is worried about being seen as controlling or impolite for dictating what others can order, especially since they feel obligated to pay as part of their cultural upbringing. Will the Reddit community think the user is in the wrong or will they offer helpful advice on how to handle the situation without causing family drama?
