Canadian Thanksgiving turned out to be a nightmare for me. My boyfriend’s parents asked me to pay $30 for my portion of the dinner, which I found to be very rude and shocking. I have never been asked to pay for someone’s ingredient fees when I am a guest at their place before. When I confronted my boyfriend, he said it was something they ask their friends to do as well. I was fuming and looking for tickets home as I felt insulted and disrespected. Is this normal practice? Have you ever been asked to pay for a meal when you were a guest? Let me know in the comments below.
