I am so confused!! Why is it, when we invite another child to go to a place that has a cost of entrance, that parent expects me to pay for it? And it’s not a birthday party. How entitled one must be to assume that all costs would be paid for. I’m a single parent! Am I the only one who if my daughter gets invited somewhere, that because she is my child, I plan on paying for her entrance fee. Why is that a difficult concept?

My daughter invited a friend and her parent said yes and was on board. When it became apparent that I am not going to pay for her child, all of sudden she can’t go. Luckily, my daughter can handle the rejection. I am honest and told my daughter that her friend can’t go because the mom wants me to pay. I stand my ground and will not be taken advantage of. I should have asked the mom if her daughter wanted to go to Walt Disney World. Then demand 5 grand upfront for all the costs those parks require. Sarcasm is my strong suit when I’m angry. Don’t be an entitled parent. Be courteous of other parents. Simple as that.
