My dad & stepmom have this thing where he pays for utilities & she pays for groceries except he always insults her cooking & yells at her whenever her kids (who live there part time) eat snacks so she never buys food & they just eat out, except he won’t buy her or her kids dinner

Wow, the method outlined above is sane in comparison to that!

This is uncomfortably similar to what my gran and her twin used to do. "Now I owe you 73 cents for the bananas." "No, you owe me 75, because the beans weren't on sale but you needed two cans." Well-off enough not to worry, Depression children enough to care a LOT.
