[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good god, no!  I've never expected nor ever received a gift for taking a kid on an outing/trip with us.  I expect a verbal 'thank you' from the kid but that's it - and have always gotten one.[/quote]

+1  We've received verbal thanks and that seemed more than appropriate.  I would be, I don't know what the right word/emotion is, upset? embarrassed?, if we received a hostess gift.  These are kids.  When our kids have gone with someone else's family then usually we have the kid make something, like cookies, that we send on a later date.[/quote]

The last time we did it we spent thousands of dollars on the extra kids - literally. I would think something more than a verbal thanks is appreciate (written note, plant, flowers, gift card, meal, etc)[/quote]

You choose to spend thousands and invite the kids. Expecting families to do equal may not be in their budget, I know its not in ours but we wouldn't accept and let ours go so its a non-issue.  [/quote]

Who said I expected families to do equal?  A handwritten thank you note is free. Flowers are $10. A plant is $8. [/quote]
