Re: inviting a friend on an outing

b/c I don't think I'd be OK with them paying for her...

why? if it puts them at ease, who cares? if they want to send money along for their daughter, so be it. if they don't send money along ahead of time, then pay for their daughter and refuse reimbursement (to a point - if it really is the issue Alison and Davita say, then you may just want to go along w/it). if Kate has a friend you enjoy AND she enjoys (miracle in tweendom - right?) then it would be a silly (IMO) thing to cause a rift over between families.

Good point... They did send money along with her, but I don't think she knew we were paying or anything. And then she and Kate split the food at the food court... Basically there wasn't a time for her to jump in there and even offer to pay. :huh: She did go and buy herself a popsicle, though.

I'll just have to clarify everything with her mom before we go on another outing... The dad handled the details with me over the phone-- didn't even think about money but I'm not surprised! He did ask if she'd need to pack a lunch, but they don't let you bring food in, so I told him we'd get something there...
