Description

I suggested they cook dinner for me (since one of them is broke), and they told me they’d rather go out to eat – but didn’t offer to pay.(Getty Images)

Dear Eric: I am a widow with two single adult children. One, a recent college graduate, has a healthy salary. The other is barely scraping by. Until now, I have been paying when we eat out together for Mother’s Day and my birthday.
