I think/hope GP is being sarcastic. I've never seen anyone reimburse anyone for a playdate.

I also live in a neighborhood where you see everyone outside regularly so a lot of it is spontaneous.

Even with my wife's moms group that has arranged playdates, though, no one pays anyone else.

That's just another way of paying. Next week it's your turn to host the playdate.

That's significantly different than paying someone in cash. (Also, I didn't say they rotate, they do, but it's not among everyone. Some people have larger houses and are happier to host so they do it more often.)
