kid pro quo 

Buying something you don't want or need from a co-worker or friend's kid, hoping to build karma for the next time your kid is selling something.

You: Why on earth did you buy 20 boxes of thin mints!?!
Me: Kid pro quo: Joe's daughter is a girl scout - and you know Billy's school has a fund raiser this fall.

Kid Pro Quo 

When two parental units (single or duo) send a responsible and/or experienced kid off to monitor the less responsible and/or inexperienced, resulting in parental relaxation.

G(9th grader): Can I go to (BadBoy)'s house?
Mother of G: Only if C(junior) goes with you?
G & C & C's mom: Yeah!
All Parents: Kid Pro Quo!

When one parent offers to watch the kids so the other can go out with their friend, in exchange for reciprocation of duties later.

"Sure you can go out with your girlfriends tomorrow night, but next weekend I wanna go have a beer with Dave, you know, kid pro quo!"

Kid Pro Quo 

When you barter childcare duties with your partner, so they can go out with friends.

Sure, I can watch the kids on Friday night when you're out with the girls, but kid pro quo - I wanna go have a beer with Dave next Thursday.
