WDTD when you invite your friend's kid on an outing with your kid (like bowling, movies, etc) and the mom insists on paying even though you refuse? Do you end up taking it anyway to avoid a big thing? or just keep refusing no matter what? I find this so awkward, I don't know how to handle. TIA [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

If another mom insists that you take the money, it is kind of a slap to her that you would take it and turn around and give it back in such a way. If you don't see that, you don't. But I agree with other poster, its about making the OTHER person feel good - not you. [ Reply | More ]

why is taking it and buying say ice cream for her son giving it back? If I invite, I invite. I tell them this is my treat and I get annoyed when I tell them from the beginning that I'm treating for them to insist paying. This isn't how I was raised. If you invite, you pay [ Reply | More ]
