[quote=Anonymous]Ask for them back at the end of the activity. If you brought a change of clothes, or gloves, keep them in a back pack or a bag so that they are no clearly visible. That way they can't say "We forgot gloves" while staring at yours. or if they do, you are free to reply "I know that DS will get his gloves wet while skiing/sledding/playing in the snow. Those are his gloves for the after lunch so he can enjoy the entire day." Your friends have learned that they can count on you to provide everything. Either you need to stop providing everything or bring even more extras so their mooching doesn't hurt your family and insist that they return the items at the end of they day. You can add the extra towels/sweaters or whatever to your laundry pile.[/quote]
