[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you acting like OP is wrong for not wanting some reciprocation, do you really invite kids places with yours over and over again and never get resentful or wonder why? You just keep doing it for the joy it brings? 
I have an only ( tween) and she likes doing things with friends. So I invite. [b]But I do think it would be the right thing to do for the other parent to reciprocate occasionally[/b]. [/quote]

Well, sure, but in OP's case (and in many others) the other parent doesn't reciprocate, and probably never will.  And you can't control what the other parents do.  You can ask, but they still may say no.  So you decide what you want to do.  In OP's case, if the other child is really her kid's best friend, she needs to decide if she can maintain the level of support she's been providing.  Then do it (or not).  If her kid wonders why she's not being invited over to best friend's house, OP can be honest - "They're not able to host".  The reason why they're unable to host is irrelevant.      [/quote]
