[quote=Anonymous]I vividly remember my bff's dad teaching me this life lesson when I was kid: Offer to pay for something twice. After that, if you keep offering you're being rude. So... I think you can follow up again and say you'd love to contribute to the cost - just let me know how to do so. If they respond, great! Go ahead and pay. If not... leave it alone and try to do something nice for them or the kid later. This isn't exactly the same, but DS almost always brings one of his friends to our pool. We happily pay for his entrance each time because otherwise my son is sitting on the side sulking. And this friend is awesome and kind and I really want the friendship to flourish. The money is small potatoes compared to the valuable friendship. Take it as a compliment that this other family seems to really value your son and his freindsip.[/quote]
