Brian, I think my objective is to create a decent social environment for my kid so that my kid is more or less socially accepted by some kids. While it’s not my intention to turn my kid into a social butterfly and party animal, I do see the value in my kid having some friends versus being a totally anti-social hermit embarrassed by the perception of kooky parents.

I was only kidding… And sure, parents would be annoyed at cash requests. But if they stop to think about it, it’s much easier to write a check or give cash.

I personally would much rather give cash as I don’t have to run around looking for a gift. :)[/quote]

Oh, I know you were being tongue and cheek. No offense taken. I guess I’m sort of overly concerned about being a kooky parent at times…Folks without kids probably can’t relate until they have kids.
