Yep. Pretty crappy way to treat a kid.

I think it's a bit crappy for the guy not to pay for your son to hit when he invited him along though.
Maybe I will take them to the batting cages today. Mwh ahaha ha h

That's shitty. Even if the other dad was annoyed because your kid didn't have money, he still should have bit the bullet and ponied up for the cost of it. What a douche.

Next time his kid's hanging around at dinner time, I'd make a point to tell him to go home instead of serving up a free plate of food, too.

It made us feel like crap. I was pissed about it. If you ask a kid to do something you should presume to pay.
I've been on the other side of that. You ever buy a kid an ice cream - kid asks for waffle cone, toppings, etc., and then literally takes two licks and tosses the entire thing in the garbage? I was like WTF . I could have wiped my arse with a $5.00 bill and gotten more value.

Take his kid to the cages and pay for him. He'll tell his daddy how he got to hit with your son. And even if this behavior persists, you still need to be a better man and set a good example for both boys.

That wasn't very cool on your neighbors part.

Sounds like you are still pissed

Anytime my friends parents invited me to things like dinner, games, etc when i was a child they always paid and vice versa. If otherwise stated the parent i dont think should have to give money, if anything give the kid money incase.

Demonpenz 06-05-2009 10:46 AM
sometimes things mean alot to you as a kid and some other shit doesn't but you never know when you are going to make a memory for a lifetime for some kid, good or bad

I'd find the guy in passing and just politely ask how it went at the batting cages. Then you get his side of the story.

Then you can go from there.

You should have made the kid fish it out of the garbage and finish it.

Iowanian 06-05-2009 10:49 AM
It was a shitty thing for him to do.

If I invite a kid to go along, I'm buying and on something like that, the kid would definitely get a turn.

If my kid gets invited, I'm sending money anyway.


Take your kid to the batting cages this weekend.
