Need quick WWYD advice please!

We're taking the boys to the movies today and each is bringing a friend.(from the same family actually) My inclination is to pay for them in full but, of course, it gets expensive. I'm just wondering what to do if their mom offers me money, which is likely. I'm so bad at accepting money from people in general. So, would you accept it with a thank-you or refuse nicely and tell them it's our treat? Thank you!

Personally, I would refuse nicely and say it's our treat.

I'd do this, too. And I'd buy the tickets at Costco!

I'd probably pay for the tickets, but let her send money for them for popcorn and such if she offered.

I would refuse the money. Next time they may be the ones taking your DSs somewhere and paying for the outing. That being said if the mom says something like, "I insist" then I would take the money.

I think if you invited them then you pay? But haven't btdt...

Thanks everyone! I took your advice(went with my instincts) and paid in full. The kids really enjoyed Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

Glad they had a good time!
