[quote=Anonymous]Is this a cultural thing? In my circles (multi-cultural, mostly white collar immigrants) an invitation to DC's friends begins with communication with the parents and such details are covered.  The parents will always offer to cover expenses, and we always decline politely because we cover food and tickets and other incidental costs.  Parents will send extra money nonetheless in case their child wants to buy something else - but it is rare that the kids will go wild at the gift shop buying tchotchkes.

Don't know if we have been lucky that the kids we take with us are well-brought up and their parents sane  or we are some kind of kid whisperers? In any case, I do know the parents of my kid's friends. The parent taking the kids on these trips and activities also send pictures of the kids doing the activities on the group text. If there is any need to split costs for an extended trip or activity, there are tons of apps that allows you to divvy up costs or split the bills.
