[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12 year olds dont get to decide you will drive them to the mall and you will buy them food. 
I’m guessing you want to be the cool mom but  you’ve started a precedent now. 
Tell your son it isn’t happening again. [/quote]

OP here. My kid never has money. Over the years, he has been treated many times. My kid just has a lot of friends. Just not sure how to handle kids not having money. I don’t feel comfortable asking people I don’t know to pay me/DS back. [/quote]
How do you expect your middle school kid to have money? Why do you think other MS kids DO have money? It's because their parents give their kids money. Unless this is a financial hardship for you, think ahead and give your kid $20 in anticipation of your kid going out. And given that your kid has been "treated many times" this suggests to me that something is off here. Like, you are totally OK with your kid always having to ask other kids for money? Or that you don't understand the importance of reciprocity? Your kid is eventually going to have a reputation for constantly mooching off of other kids.[/quote]
