Is this behavior respectful?

A invites some friends and her brother and wife to her birthday party.

There's coffee and cake, and afterward, A wants to invite everyone to an Italian restaurant. A lives alone in a big city and doesn't have much money.

A receives a gift of 30 euros from her brother and wife.

At the Italian restaurant, the brother and his wife order the most expensive dish (duck breast), although everyone else sticks with pasta/pizza.

An invitation is an invitation, but I wouldn’t choose the most expensive.

Especially if you know that the person who invites you is not so prosperous and still likes to invite everyone and is probably crumbling for it.

For me, it’s part of a good behavior that you’re modest and don’t order yourself, for which you may be too greedy or too poor.

If I really wanted to eat the duck breast, I would have paid a part of the bill from me or returned the money after the restaurant visit. It would have been very unpleasant to me, under these circumstances, not to take part in the bill, invitation back or forth.

Partly… if I invite you to eat, I can’t expect everyone to order a salad (even if it’s very expensive) on the other hand, the brother surely knows about the financial situation. Evtl also like pizza. But a great action isn’t that. It’s also up to the price.

If he celebrates his birthday, I’ll keep it the same.

If the two know about the circumstances of the invitee, they should also order appropriately, so also stay with pizza and pasta.

The invitee, however, is also guilty even if he does not prescribe courts to choose from, but lets him choose a la carte.

Why does anyone have to invite to the Italian if he has little money? You can also eat great at home or leave it with coffee and cake. So there’s a lot wrong with the invitee.

You don’t do that!

Nevertheless, A should have thought well before that whether it could afford this generosity of an invitation to eat outside. In today’s time, eating is quite luxury.

To question would also be the intention of A. Should she “purchase” the other company with this action?

Next time, I’d guess I’d be a bring party. A introduces the spaciousness, drinks and perhaps the appetizer or dessert, the rest bring the guests.

It’s A’s money, so he/she can do what he/she wants. It’s nothing respectless. Without respect, it would be a guest to order the most expensive food.

I personally wouldn’t have done it as a host. If I’m close to checkout, I don’t take the most expensive on the map.

You have read wrong, not the host A has chosen the most expensive dish, but his brother and his wife.

You invited her to dinner and you usually don’t make any regulations for the guests.

If you wanted to save money, you should have cooked yourself. You should have got a pizza or pasta together.

And 30 € as a gift is also complete.

It depends. If I know that my sister is very close to checkout, I still don’t have to order the most expensive dish. That’s pretty greedy. On the other hand, the FG could have cooked itself.

You just invite people to dinner if you can afford it. And if I invite, I must not be insulted if people order to eat what they have appetite.

As I said, coffee and cake would be quite Approval and have been sufficient

Hiiiii,

I think that the behaviour is okay, since everyone can order what he wants, since they are invited 😉

When you are invited, there are no rules. to order ds, what you just want.

I personally would take something cheaper because it is unpleasant to me to spend money for me, but everyone like him wants

But if I like my sister and she’d be poor, I might give her money.

But I don’t like my sister and she’s richer than me.

If A takes the bill for the invitation, then A can order what and how much she wants and the whole thing has nothing to do with respectlessness.

If you have your birthday and are planning to invite you out to dinner, then if you’re close to checkout, you should have saved some precautions, otherwise you should leave such an invitation.

If you can’t afford such a host, you have to leave it. I can’t rely on my guests to finance the invitation themselves.

As long as they paid their food.
