[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry are you new here? Your daughter just started hanging with friends?

My son is 5, when he has friends over or play dates.

I always pay for his friends, their enternance, food, souvenirs, snack, treat. Heck, sometimes if I’m feeling good. I’ll get them both a small toy.

It’s weird that you expect your friends daughter who is a minor to pay her way, even if her parents have offered to pay. In my culture, we wouldn’t accept it. As the host of someone, you pay.

I agree that if the girls make a movie outing and all you have to do is “drop off”. Then yes, she should have her own money for movies, food.

I don’t expect any of my sons friends to come with money, and vice versa. [b]My sons friends parents haven’t asked me once for a dime, they take him to basketball games, baseball games, arcades. [/b]

It sounds like YOU can afford to host, and that’s a you problem. [/quote]

If OP's daughter's friend reciprocated this wouldn't be a problem.   It is not the paying, but the one-sided nature.

Please, stop saying "in my culture".  So, if in "my culture" I could be rich as f**k but we just don't pay for other kids...does that somehow make things OK?  You don't think the saying "let's go Dutch" came from nowhere, right?[/quote]
