[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a situation similar but the other family was wealthy. We have an only and so did they. Made a point of saying in African culture the host pays etc and no don’t send money when DD went to lunch with them. Then I took their kid ice skating, pumpkin patch, science center, lunch and DD literally never got invited anywhere with them after that first lunch. Last time I took her swimming to our outdoor pool last summer I told her Mom to send $20 for dinner because I was going to order. She sent it with the Dad ( he dropped off) and he seemed really weird about giving it to me. 
They are at different schools now so don’t really see each other, but just weird. [/quote]

You shouldn’t have invited her if you couldn’t pay for dinner, or sent her home before dinner. It makes you look cheap or like you’re mooching off a child.[/quote]

In some cultures, if you don't feed a kid, it looks very strange.  Asking $20 for a pool dinner is bizarre.  Just pack food.

I don't get parents who choose expensive outings, invite other kids, and demand the parents pay.  We don't do those kind of outings often and if we do, they are doing it with us, not you.  Not all parents do all those expensive things so demanding they take your child, is also bizarre.  [/quote]
