[quote=Anonymous]There was a family that we invited over repeatedly. The wife always said she wasn’t a good cook. She had a son form a previous relationship who was grown up and it appears that he did the family cooking. However, while I didn’t expect to be invited over for dinner, a simple coffee invite would have shown us that they enjoyed our company. Also, on many occasions, I took their daughter on play dates and paid for activities like skytag, bowling. I was never even offered back the money I spent for their daughter. After awhile, I began to feel used. I stopped the invitations as well as the play dates that involved me spending money. At one point, I got contacted from these friends and sensed that they were soliciting an invite. I really didn’t these were really friends. I was disappointed and hurt. Even, when they did accept our dinner invitations, they would come over and make excuses that they hadn’t had time to stop to get a bottle of wine. To be clear, we never even alluded that we wanted them to bring anything. It’s simply the excuses that greatly bothered me because it all revealed to be very hollow.[/quote]
