ORIGINAL: BnkinMD my Daddy doesn't let me pay and this is very hard on me. I am younger and make about 3 times LESS then he does. I do support myself but when we are out he pays for everything. I am very stubborn and I haven't figured out how to get past this aspect. I feel horrible but I know he loves me and likes to buy me things. Just before Christmas he showed up at my front door with a 3 foot tall Santa Pooh Bear :) Any suggestions on how to get past this, I don't think he will ever give in on this one? Would it help if you thought you were giving him a gift by receiving? He loves you and paying for things for you pleases him. Also, another way is to pay percentages. I went with someone who made four times what I did so when it came time to pay I'd pay 1/4. She had expensive tastes so if she chose a real expensive hotel, well, that would usually be her treat and I'd by lunch or something. If she chose an expensive restaurant I'd cover the tip.
