[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Hi, I took Sara to ice skating on Wed but she didn’t have the $30 for admission/rental so I loaned it to her. My Venmo is Xxx when you get a chance.”[/quote]

I would fine-tune this a bit, to make it clear that you were just the Uber driver and not the host. (“I took Sara skating” could sound like you invited her as a guest.)

“Last Saturday, the girls decided they wanted to go ice skating. When I dropped them off, Sara realized she had forgotten her money so I loaned her $30 to cover her admission and rental. My Venmo is xxxxx when you get a chance.”[/quote]

This. I think it’s important for OP’s role to be clear. She was just a carpool parent, not a host.[/quote]

At that age, the carpool parent is the host.  She and her daughter choose the activity and OP is driving.  That is the host.  You need to ask the parents, not the kids.  At that age, mine didn't have money and it came from us.[/quote]

Stop infantilizing teens. When does this nonsense end? If your teen has no access to money, whether from jobs, chores, birthdays, you are one heck of a controlling parent. And your kid is learning no life skills.[/quote]
