[quote=Anonymous]I think the reciprocating thing is odd.  We live close to two of my kids schools.  They have friends over from school once or twice a week, and it’s great.  The kids play together or talk about stuff.  Sometimes I make cookies or muffins.  Sometimes the moms stay and chat when they pick up their kids.  
There is one mom who always insists on reciprocating by taking my child out on outings since she can’t have him over to her house.  It always makes me feel so guilty.  I put almost no effort into having her kid over to play.  I’m usually just doing laundry or whatever.  It’s definitely not the equivalent of packing lunches, picking my child up, and spending the afternoon at the zoo.  
Other moms do things like grab my teenager at the high school when they get their kid, or letting me know that it’s supposed to snow tomorrow and there might not be school.  These are things I consider more on par with having someone over to my house.

Really, the fact that I didn’t have to do any driving and my kid got to see her friend is enough.
