NTA-he’s the baby. Probably used to stomping his feet to get his way. I’d pay, but I’d tell the gf, ‘Hey be careful eating!

I told caterer I had no more money, so they said they’d try to come up with something this late. If X would’ve told me BEFORE yesterday I wouldn’t be worried. Enjoy your evening!’ But I’m just petty enough.
