[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

If finances aren't an issue in your home, why doesn't your son ever have money?  My 13yr old almost always has $10 or $20 and her school ID so she has the ability to participate in spontaneous outings.  Not enough to go to the movies or out to dinner, but enough to grab a treat if she's out with friends.

My kid has a cash box with money. [b]I meant he doesn’t carry money around.[/b] He has only had a phone for a month. Not all his friends have phones.[/quote]

That's what we're all referencing.  If your child is out and socializing and has been constantly treated by his friends, it's time to make sure he has cash.  Probably even enough to start doing some paybacks for all the times his buddies have covered for him.  $20 in his backpack or his phone case or his jacket pocket starting today.[/quote]
