[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just stop taking them places that cost money. She can eat dinner with you of course but otherwise they hang out around the house or something. 
Also, for perspective, my DS13 never hangs out with anyone outside school. I wouldn’t mind paying for a friend if he had one. [/quote]
+1 My child has a best friend whose parents literally never take them anywhere, nor do they invite our child over. We take the best friend every week, everywhere (and pay).

I don’t mind it. I understand that families have varying degrees of issues (money, home stress) and sometimes are just plain moochers. But I like the kid, my child loves them and it is just a part of life that you can be a blessing to someone for a season that may never reciprocate, but you will be rewarded some day when you least expect it. My best friend growing up spent all her time at my house and did everything with my family because her home was not as large or “fun”, and I am SO glad my mom never even mentioned cost, because the memories and love are priceless.[/quote]
