[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you were going to the movies?

"I'm so sorry, we can't get together this afternoon -- I promised Larla we'd go see the matinee of Monsters UNiversity and we already bought the tickets.   DO you want to come along?   The mantinee is $6 kids $8 adults and we're leaving at 2:00."

What if you had plans to go to 6 Flags?

Why do you need to pay if you invited a whole family to join you?[/quote]
This is a totally different situation...the key word here is that OP INVITED THEM[/quote]

But there's a difference between inviting someone to a planned event, and inviting them to come along with you on an outing.   In my mind the difference is, are you inviting the parents/whole family?

If my kid wants to invite Rebecca to the movies, to play mini-golf, or to go swimming -- I assume I am paying everything for our guest.

But if Rebecca's mom calls and asks us to go play at the park, and I say, Sorry, we have plans already to go to the movies, pool, mini-golf... want to come along?   I don't think it is rude for Rebecca's mom to pay for all their tickets.
