[quote=Anonymous]OP here (then off to work), thanks for the advice!  DC is a little more financially mature than some of the children his age.  I'll spare you the big long explanation.  I think what I am trying to convey to DC, without wanting to admit it, is that we don't drop our friends because they don't give us gifts.  These instances pertain to birthday party situations, FWIW.  DC has absolutely been given the repeated explanation and serious emphasis that there is no price on friendship, and variations thereof. It involves young elementary age.  I wonder if the other parent might be sending the wrong message, or sour grapes for something unrelated - sort of an unconscious (or conscious!) message of some sort?  Trying to give the benefit of the doubt here.

Like I said, we honestly do not want or need anything, DC knows this. A small something like a hand made card would really be our preference.  I have told people this when they ask, but I am afraid it comes across as cheesy to some?  Ultimately, I am working toward donations to a needy cause.  Please don't flame me for this, I would like to stay on point.    [/quote]
