Furious at another parent, am I wrong here?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 17th, 2025 9:37 AM Author: Trade Wars Are Good And Easy To Win Last week my kid went on a school field trip to the science museum. I let him take $10 of his savings to spend at the gift shop, figuring he would get some plastic toys or rock candy. When he came home he had a stuffed dinosaur and two different science experiments. I asked him how he got it and he said that his friends mom who was chaperoning paid for it all because his $10 wasn’t enough for everything he wanted. It was a lot and I would never have paid for three items even if I was there.
This morning I saw the mom on school message and sent her a thank you. I was still pissed that my attempt to teach him the value of money had been thwarted, but did want to say thank you since we did the science experiments over the weekend. She responds back, “Awwww! They had so much fun. Everything ended up being $55 after your son’s $10 wasn’t enough.” And then she put a pic of her fucking Venmo. She didn’t explicitly ask me to reimburse her, but obviously expects me to.
I am seething, brothers. I barely know this woman. What kind of parent drops $55 on a kid on a field trip? I asked my son and she didn’t do this for everyone, just her kid and mine, since only a few kids had brought money for the gift shop. I was pissed that my kid didn’t have a chance to practice budgeting and now I am livid at her audacity.
What do I do? To answer your first question, she is some kind of Protestant. |

All the other parents that spend their day chaperoning the kids will know that you're that parent, your kid will come home crying because the other kids got toys and he didn't, the other kids will then make fun of your kid because they're now the poor kid with no toys. All over $55. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5712259&forum_id=2...id.#48857576) |

Date: April 17th, 2025 12:35 PM Author: Greetings Her asking for repayment is an insane faux pas. You are in the right. She bought your kid a gift. You don't repay people for gifts.
The /only/ exception is if your kid was being a huge brat and ruining everyone's fun bc he couldn't get what he wanted and the mom bought it to shut him up. Then it wasn't a gift. It was more analogous to you forgetting to send your kid food and someone had to buy it for him.
EDIT: holy shit, I missed this was a friend's mom. That makes her behavior even worse. I've bought my kids' friends things like this. I will often buy a book for a kid at my kids' book fair if their parent forgot to send them $$ or something. I have NEVER asked for repayment. In fact, I've never even brought up with the parent that I'm the one who bought the book. That's insane. |

that cunt is too far gone. you're not going to convince her that she is retarded. use this as an opportunity to teach your son how he should only accept favors from friends and family. you can even spin this into a lesson about debt or something. that what he received wasn't free and daddy had to pay it back. |

Date: April 17th, 2025 10:14 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) yeah. you're certainly right to be upset. i was trying to think of something you could put in the venmo note to indicate her behavior was shitty but without being so passive-aggressive that you come off as catty or it triggers a response from her. you could just be genuine and put something like
"appreciate the kind gesture, but i wanted to teach my son about budgeting and money, so please don't purchase things for him in the future :)"
idk even that sounds a bit catty, which is why i think just teaching your kid about cunts is probably the best and surest path to avoiding any other bullshit from her. |

say something civil like this:
"thank you for chaperoning the trip. i know that you meant well in paying for my son's XYZ, but going forward, please do not purchase anything for him. i am teaching him how to budget and intentionally sent him on the trip with $10.
i will send that $ to your venmo now."
and then yes, of course have a conversation with his child about not ever accepting gifts from strangers.
and if dumb cunt karen ever pulls this again, just remind her of this incident and refuse to pay her.

|
Date: April 17th, 2025 11:12 AM Author: Trump Tariffs Can Do No Wrong (TDNW) so you’re only upset at the amount then?
you did you were upset because he missed a chance to budget, which means you shouldn’t have just said “thanks we loved it”. in fact, you should have offered to cover what she spent in any case |
|
Date: April 17th, 2025 11:27 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) he's upset because she expects reimbursement for something he didn't authorize that thwarted what his goal was.
if she just responded "you're welcome!" without the venmo he might have been mildly annoyed his attempt at teaching budgeting was thwarted but that would have been greatly outweighed by a nice gesture.
imagine if you and i were at a bar and when i went to get a drink i bought you one and brought it over. even if you didn't like it or want one you'd probably just say "thanks pal!" but if i sent you a venmo request for it it completely ruins the gesture, made even more annoying that i expect you to pay for something you didn't even fucking want. |
|
Date: April 17th, 2025 11:30 AM Author: Trump Tariffs Can Do No Wrong (TDNW) he’s right to be upset, but just saying thank you was the wrong way to go. she doesn’t know that he was upset and she probably got pissed that he didn’t even offer to pay so then she requested reimbursement
I think paying the money and expressing your displeasure is tcr here |
|
Date: April 17th, 2025 11:34 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) it's an inconsequential amount of money and discretionary. that's what makes it more annoying.
ive never in my life expected a parent to pay me back for treating their kid to something. if the parent fucked up and you had to cover it, like admission to the museum, that's different. but you don't treat a kid to something and expect reimbursement. |

Date: April 17th, 2025 12:04 PM Author: you\'re the puppet If we were all to vote on whether she is in fact a cunt, the answer seems unanimous.

Date: April 17th, 2025 1:00 PM Author: ""'"""' You're not obligated to pay her. It was a gift unless she asked you first.
This is ChatGPT take on this and I fully agree:
The best course of action is to stay calm, firm, and tactful. Here's what the parent should do:
Reply politely but clearly:
"Hi [Name], thank you again for being there and for your generosity. I wasn't expecting my son to receive gifts beyond what I gave him money for, and I would have preferred he stuck to his budget to learn the value of spending. While we enjoyed the science kits, I hope you understand that I hadn't agreed to or anticipated a $55 expense. I truly appreciate the gesture, but I can't reimburse for that."
This sets a respectful boundary without escalating things. It also reinforces your parenting values without burning bridges. She overstepped, but it's better to respond like an adult than fuel more drama—especially in a school-parent ecosystem.
I personally would ask her if there's a way to return the items since we do not actually want them, but that's just me. |
|
Date: April 17th, 2025 1:15 PM Author: ""'"""' Here's another answer:
Thank you again for your kindness. I hadn't expected anyone to buy extra items for my son—he brought $10 as part of learning to manage his own money. Since the total was much more than that, I'd prefer to return the items. Let me know how you'd like to handle it. |

For comparison, my kid gets $5 in allowance money and we make him save $2. He has a lot of saved money because of this. |

Date: April 17th, 2025 3:13 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) even without that budgeting aspect, the fact is that the kid doesn't understand money yet and when you give a kid something they don't think they owe you anything. because they're fucking children.
this is like those shysters that give a tourist some beads or take their picture and then demand some unreasonable payment. if some dude on the street gave you kid something without asking you and then demanded payment, you'd know he was a scam artist.
it's the same thing here except for this cunt is just oblivious. what if she spent $1000 on him? no one here would dispute that it's insane to give a kid a lavish gift without their parents knowledge and expect them to pay it.
non-autistic/jewish people understand this without it needing to be laid out. no surprise that many on xo are struggling with it. buying a kid discretionary shit like gift shop products and asking for the money is an insane thing for a stranger to do. |

Date: April 17th, 2025 2:55 PM Author: Are you dumb, stupid, or dumb, huh? There may be more to this story. Talk to the kid and mother and find out details, but pay her first so it doesn't seem like you're just trying to get out of paying. Maybe he asked her to pay or implied that you forgot to give him money, so she considered it a loan that you would appreciate. Maybe they discussed it being borrowed money. Also depends on the age of your kid. If your kid is 8, her action seems less appropriate since an 8 year old might not understand that that's too much to accept or be able to refuse. If your kid is 13, then there's some blame on him for accepting, and on you for not teaching him what's appropriate to accept. Even if $55 is probably immaterial, I'd consider it an inappropriately large amount regardless of whether she expected repayment. It's one thing if it's a birthday gift and her kid was invited to a birthday party. It's another to assume that parents are cool with their kids just getting gifts for no reason.

That's a pretty docile, boot-licking take. Adults don't get to spend $55 on someone else's kid without asking and then drop their Venmo in a group chat like it's normal.

Just pay her back and consider the $50 the price you're paying for a entertaining semi feud that you and your wife can gossip about how you're right. You also got some good xoxo content out of it.
I'll also slightly defend her - she might think that you reaching out to her is you WANTING to reimburse her. It is not like she sought you out and set you a bill.
Her story is probably going to be, "That weird kid in class only had $10, so I helped him buy a science kit. And then when his weird Dad reached out he told me he was not going to pay me back and to stop buying things for his kid. I'm not going to argue over $50 but what is with that family?" |

She did something stupid and you have to pay her $55 because sometimes stupid shit happens and you have to pay for it. She wasn't buying a $55 gift for a random kid. She's an idiot and expected you to consider it reasonable and pay her for it. That was obviously a dumb assumption because it's completely unreasonable, but the options now are paying for it even though you're annoyed, or sticking this well-meaning idiot with the bill. Obviously any competent adult human recognizes which is the right choice. |
