Is It Proper To Take Transport Fare Offered To You By Your Girl's Parents? by Xion: 12:02am On Nov 24, 2014 |
I have a friend who visited his girl's house to meet her parents (he has serious intentions of marrying her). After he was served a meal which he ate, and asked different questions in a cordial manner (he answered all the questions accordingly). It was a warm reception, as the girl's dad proved to be jovial. When he was about leaving, the girl's dad offered him 3000 naira as transport fare, which he reluctantly collected. Do you think it was proper to have collected the cash? Please drop your comments NB: my friend has a job, but isn't "there" yet, financially. |

No big deal, So long the man can afford to part with the money without any pain. Father-inlaw buys their son-inlaw cars and houses, so no issue, Is also like his father too. 2 Likes |

sunnydayasaba: I feel so too, but this is actually the first time they are meeting, and it's not some big cash o... I feel it's more of a test. Whether he passed it or not, I don't know. NB: first impressions last |

Xion: First impressions last, But being once self also matters alot. If am in his shoes, even if am financially OKAY and he offers me the money, I will collect it over and over again. He's like a father to me, so if i can collect money from my DAD no matter the amount i have on me, then i will do same too. Is good he collected it. 1 Like |

You don't reject gifts from your inlaw else, they might think you are arrogant. At a later date, you can give them something better than what they offered you. But never reject their gifts whether it is the 1st meeting, or 10years after marriage. 3 Likes |

Personally,i think it's not proper.it's the guy that's supposed to give the in-law money and not in-law giving the guy. 2 Likes |

No big deal Its not as if he went there without his transport money To me its even a good sign that they like the boy I personally wouldnt read any meaning to it, especially if they are the type of parents who are always "looking" after their kids friends anyway. 2 Likes |

There's no big deal, he did the right thing by collecting it. Sounds like something my dad would do, no matter how wealthy the person is, it's just him being a caring man. |

small small see finish they enter.how u stasrt is how u will endup.it was xtrmly wrong for the man to offer him tp cos d boy wos prepared coming to c him and d boy wos foolish to collect.no matter how jovial dey will alwys be inlaws.since d deed has been done:cos some in law if u give dem dat chance dey will tk advantage of ur situation.even ur galfrnd will not b submissive.una nva c.d bros an sis go c una finish.marriage is wisdom and foundation.wen he is going for another visit he should buy win and tins worth dan dat 3# |

He did no wrong collecting the money. What I would recommend him doing though is to use the money, or part of it, to buy the man a gift, preferably a drink if the man drinks alcohol, next time he visits. 1 Like |

When u are offered gifts by som1 related to som1 u know u av no choice than to accept. Or are u too big to be given a gift? Rejecting such gifts myt be an insult esp when the giver is way richer than the receiver. There's no harm in collecting.. If its a situation where the inlaws were the ones milking the guy dry ya'll gona complain, now inlaws are giving, una still dey complain. What will eva satisfy man? 1 Like |
