[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how much time I have. Sometimes we just get a card. I always feel crummy about it. We don’t ever really know these kids and I have no idea what to get them, and I ask their parents but they rarely respond. [/quote]

This is awful. You know the kids well enough to attend their parties  you have no more or less time than the rest of us. Gmafb - you can get them something your kids would like, a gift card, cash. So because you feign not knowing what to get them, are too busy and their parents don’t tell you what to buy - you have your kid hand them a card and it isn’t because you can’t afford a gift?!  Dear Lord, you suck. [/quote]

The gift is price of admission?[/quote]

You bring something when invited to someone’s home for dinner or to a bday party. It’s not an admission fee but an expected thing based on socially accepted rules in our culture. If you can’t comply, rsvp no. Very, very easy. 
Do you tip hair dressers, waiters, cab drivers, etc?[/quote]
