DP, Ooh no, the sunscreen and shells are what set my teeth on edge. Why should she leave that out? It sets the scene for Augustus Gloop. And why are you defending him? He is an adult. He doesn't know about this thread or how op feels. This will all be a nonevent for him. A glorious, tummy filling, relaxing, nonevent.

I don't know why you think he doesn't know. Subtlety does not seen to be the OP's thing. I am 100% sure he overheard her talking shit about him to her husband, daughters and anyone else who had a spare ear.


People don't you realize the whole point of venting to DCUM is specifically because you are NOT saying these things to the person in question? I took the kid on an all expenses paid free vacation. He was able to laze about and eat to his heart's content and aaynshit like "I still regret jumping in that cold water" and whine about our provided breakfast options and I just smiled and grit my teeth and then bitched on DCUM via my phone. I would never be rude to a guest of my family or embaraaa my son by treating his friend badly. The kid sucked but there's no way he knows I thought it. It would require self awareness that ANYTHING he did, from asking me to buy his toiletries to eating all the food to being an ass to my son to filching kids' seashells, was not polite. He doesn't have it. He was utterly happily oblivious to what a pain in the ass he was. ONLY YOU GUYS KNOW. And my husband because I angrily texted him when Lenny stole the community appetizer dipping sauce for himself


“Stole” a dipping sauce? You’re perception is so warped that this kid could do nothing wrong. You were constantly looking for fault - waiting to pounce and be annoyed at him for anything.

Presumably he didn’t have a car - so asking you to get the toiletries is fine. You should have asked him for the money if it bothered you so much.

You’re cheap and petty.


Yes we ordered an appetizer for the TABLE. It came with a cup of sauce. He pulled it over to himself, parked it under his face, and dipped every bite of his appetizer into it while eating it dripping over the sauce cup. Didn't even ask if anybody wanted any, didn't pour some on his plate, just snatched and hoovered.

I HAVE a 19 year old son, I know a boy appetite. This was not that. It was just bottomless eating. And damn, I didn't Ration food or else he couldn't have possibly eaten everything the way he did. Also, I could afford to have another meal added on every dinner out. The point is, being ABLE to afford for this kid to order the most expensive special every time we go out and WANTING to spend my money that way are two totally different things. I'm supposed to be happy a kid who wouldn't even stop playing Fortnite at the table ordered something twice as expensive as everyone else each and every time we went out?

When we went out and all ordered reasonable $20 shrimp baskets and he tried to get the filet like no. Who the hell does that? (And before someone calls me weak, yes we told him that one was not gonna happen, nor was ordering his own special pasta dish when we ordered multiple pizzas for the group.) He didn't thank us for ONE SINGLE thing on this trip, had a poor attitude, was lazy, and just an awful houseguest.

And he and my son had my son's car specifically so they could go do things without us. He was fully capable of buying his own damn chapstick or getting his own breakfast if he didn't like that we only had cereal. he was just rude and entitled the entire week in every possible way. The way this thread continues to try to argue that anyone who invites anyone anywhere is supposed to eat shit and grin no matter how bad the behavior is is so weird.


OP, do you have a job? Or a life? Let it go. Now you are just venting after the beach vacation, and need to move on. You allowed almost all of this to happen, and instead of acting, you vented. Not a good example for your son.

To the PP, I. Guess we all need jobs and lives and real problems? Boohoo. It's why we are here. Yes, you too.

You are cracking me up! I feel your pain but am so laughing at this whole thing.


New poster. Same, same. ManBabyPig sounds terrible. It's ok to vent here, and OP is hilarious. Have any of you never met "black hole" people? You are lucky.


+1. Team OP!

Come on op, come back!

He has no home training and neither do you, OP. Water seeks its own level.

Particularly when she focuses on his size right away and calls him a “third-tier friend.” If OP had left off all the personal attacks on the kid- ones that make it clear she finds obese people disgusting and worthless- I think she’d be getting a lot more sympathy.


This is so spot on.

Hi OP,
Sometimes life throws things at you that give you the opportunity to grow your character-to find empathy for another human's executive functioning disabilities or brain wiring or short coming in upbringing that were not their fault.
I'm terribly sorry you missed this opportunity to become a better, more compassionate person .
Perhaps the board could start a GoFundMe for a bottle of sunscreen as a consolation prize.

NP here. You don’t get to just make shit up and decide that it “100%” happened.

Here, look: I’m 100% sure that this kid intentionally used all the sunscreen because OP wouldn’t let him get filet mignon at dinner, and also, after he took those seashells he just threw them in the trash out of spite because the girls ate the last of the cookies.


I love when the OP uses “NP” so everyone won’t think she’s sock-puppeting.
You’re writing style is so recognizable OP, you’ve become completely see through.

There she goes again “DP” (but I’m really the OP).

You sound hateful OP. & I’m sure you were a BLAST to be around.

I know that DCUM knows how that feels even if they prefer to act like they don't. Even if it's easier to attack someone for complaining and feel superior that you would never complain about things like this, etc. Yeah, right.

Frankly, the kid OP brought sounds obnoxious. It sounds like she sucked it up but was complaining to her DH and to hear. I can forgive the judgment about his weight and manners b/c of her evident frustration (even if it wasn't nice behind his back).

You all are pieces of work. You ABSOLUTELY would be complaining too. (And, no I'm a NP not OP).


Omg, OP you need to stop!

You seem to have a fixation on capitalizing words you need to emphasize.... which is why we all know that these fake “I got OP’s back” are all you.

Completely agree. Just IMAGINE if “son’s friend” was replaced with “mother in law”...it would be a TOTALLY different tune.


Case in point, capitalizing every other word for emphasis in defense of the OP.
You SUCK op (how bout that for capitalizing?).
