[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote]For some reason, I feel like it is a little different as kids get older. I would never expect someone to send their elementary school kid with money to pay for themselves, but I find it odd when my 15 year old's friends occasionally join us for family outings without bringing a cent of money. I'm happy to pay their entrance fees for stuff, but I kind of feel like, if a kid is almost old enough to have a job, it would be nice for them to have some cash to pick up the tab for their own sodas etc. I guess I should be grateful that the kids are willing to join us for family stuff at all at this point.

Are you kids picking up their own tab for soda?

If you have a child as a guest, they should be treated as you do your child[quote]

What?  I am not the PP, but that makes no sense to me.  If I took my own child somewhere, and he saw something he would like to decorate his room (that was reasonable), I would pay for it for him.  I would not pay for something to decorate one of his friends' rooms.[/quote]

A souvenir is not a soda.  You are talking about something different.  [/quote]
