[quote=Anonymous]I was on both sides of this last hockey season. We have 3 kids and no local family. One weekend, we had all 3 kids playing in different drivable tournament locations. The oldest (14) went with a teammate while my husband and I took the younger two. We prepaid the mom taking him for a couple of team events and sent him with his bank card to pay for all meals, snacks, etc. He also took a visa gift card he got for Christmas and car snacks to share. When they got back, I gave her a thank you card, a Starbucks card and a 4x6 picture of her and her son with the trophy. She’d texted me pics and I had one printed during their drive home. I was very appreciative that she’d take him and it seemed to go well.

Another weekend, a family on my youngest’s team was in a similar situation. We offered to take their son and had similar arrangements planned. But, he got sick right before the tournament and we didn’t take him. In both cases, we knew the families so it wasn’t like we were taking an unknown kid. It also is very common on both of their teams to have kids going with other families. [/quote]
