Met the parents!

Thanks Betsi. I was kind of seeing red flags before I even met her... just from hearing her on the other end of the phone when he was with me and stories Scott told me about how strict she was when he was growing up. He wasn't allowed to play hockey in case he got hurt. He could not show interest in girls because he got in big trouble... he still has problems showing affection, even if it's just him and I sitting there. He can't just be the first one to reach out and hold my hand. He said it's silly but a part of him inside just gives him a feeling that it's a bad thing to do.
I hope things get better, and I hope everything can work out... I do really like him. He is extremely good to me. He will do anything to make me smile, and that is so important to me. I just hope that eventually the tie to his mom will loosen a bit.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I am gob smacked! Sorry.

I would never ever expect my son's gf to pay for her share, like Diana said, that was very tacky of her, i totally agree with her, that is just not done.
If you invite anybody, it's on you, if you are not willing to pay, dont invite.
You know Lindsey, this says everything about her.
I do understand the "lets go dutch" where people go out to dinner in a group or whatever, and share the bill, thats different, but the way she handled things is a poor show on her part.

Now, i am not belitteling Scott, but he could have said, here is Lindsey's part of the dinner, and i will pay the 32 bux for the church play, without you even knowing about it.

Keep your ears and eyes wide open girl.
