If I invite my daughter's friend and her mom with us to the museum, does that mean I have to pay for them?

I was planning on taking my daughter to the museum tomorrow. It would be fun to have her friend and her mom along with us, but if I invite them does that mean I have to pay for their tickets? It's pricey enough as it is just for my daughter and me, and I can't afford to pay for them as well.

no, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay for them, but just make sure they don't expect you to.





just let them know that they have to pay, but discreetly.


when you call, or talk, or however you decide to invite them, mention the day time, and the price of the tickets. that's an easy way to let them know that you want them to go, but that they'll have to come up with their own ticket money.





i hope it works out, and i hope i helped at least a bit.





good luck =]
Reply:I don't think you should pay for them and I certainly wouldn't expect you too either if I was in that situation. Just make sure when asking her you phrase it correctly if you are concerned about her getting the wrong idea. If you were just taking her daughter than you probably should pay for her but not if the mother will be there too.
Reply:I wouldn't think so... I mean if you kind of make it clear that your going dutch...LOL.. Im sure the mother knows how high it is to get in. I don't think she would think that you would pay for them too. At least I hope not..... Have fun, and best wishes

Reply:Yes unless you have made a prior agreement that you all are going to pay separately, maybe you could explain to them in advance how much it costs and see what they say?
Reply:No. Just make sure that when you ask you tell her approximately how much it will cost. This gives her the opportunity to say no if her budget does not allow her to go.
Reply:~~No, just tell them the hours, and the cost of entry. Then they will expect to pay.~~
