How to stop other travellers eat your food supplies?

The problem is you went into a group vacation with a shared kitchen trying to distinguish food between families.

If his mom was on the hook to make bacon and eggs for the group, you would have been chilling with your coffee.

Again, I don’t want to cook for 10 people every day. It’s not my idea of vacation.

There were two stoves, two ovens and people got up at different times so it wasn’t the issue of space. His mom just cooked oatmeal every day and he ate off everyone else.

When you start calling other people's kids greedy a'holes it's clear that group travel is not for you, or group travel in this crazy way is not for you.

You know it wasn’t some little kid. A 13 year old should have some impulse control.

No OP. I really appreciate you returning and all but we can't get caught in that circle again. It's not 10 people. It's your family PLUS ONE BOY or you get a couple mornings off while the other family cooks

Shouldn't you be on vacation by now? Go away.

I would not want oatmeal either. I have 9 and 11 year olds. They can make their own food but, god, I would think you were rude if you fed your own child and didn’t at least offer my kid some food.

Our family has a lot to offer in terms of friendship and you would definitely be losing by not giving my kids some eggs or whatever. We are generous. We could help your kid get into college or get a job. You are really short sighted, OP.

Pp here. All of our friends are such generous people. I could not be friends with OP.

If all the kids want bacon and eggs (and who wouldn’t if the alternative was oatmeal) the parents should take turns cooking for everyone. So maybe OP has to cook for 10 people one day; is that so bad if the next 2 days you get to chill on the deck with your coffee?

Just lick everything before you put it in the fridge/cabinet.

Problem solved.

There's generous and there's mooching.

One mom is cooking oatmeal. The other mom is cooking good stuff. And mom #1 has the nerve to say "can Lardass have some of your waffles?" "can Lardass have some of your eggs?"
I would allow it once or twice but then would say, Gee Suzy, seems like he doesn't want your oatmeal. Do you think you should make something else tomorrow?
But then I kind of like stirring the pot.

It is kinda funny you think the one whose mom brought the oatmeal to be the lardass.

OP who apparently cooks bacon every day seems like her family would be the better candidate.

No kidding.

My kids are all rail thin and could easily eat the (oatmeal/cereal/toast/pancakes/whatever) I cook for breakfast and still come salivating over OP's bacon and eggs. They're bottomless.

Good thing my friends and I would always feed the kids, regardless. Even if annoyed. They're kids.

Ut thebother families allow their kids to inhale our food and dont reciprocate or buy stuff the their kids dont eat. I allow my kids to have sugary cereal on vacation.you are serving your kids wheaties, of course they want some of my cereal. I usually give in but when 2 days into the vacation I have nothing left that my kid enjoys I'm not happy. The simplest example is during our last vacation my bacon went really fast. All of our friends brought turkey bacon, we eat real bacon. Low and behold all the kids and parents (mostly the guys) who dont eat actual bacon really love actual bacon.

I have another friend who only feeds her kids fast food. Her way of reciprocating is hitting a drive thru. While that is fine for her kids it doesnt work for us. My kids get bad stomach aches from that. Coordinating dinner is one thing but breakfast and lunch is too much. We have turned down group vacations for this reason.

I would think about what the kids scarf down as a group and everyone would be responsible for bringing 1 item. One person bring a case of capri suns, another bring a case of chips, another rice Krispy treats etc. That way it's all fair when the kids inhale everything.

YOu're so full of crap. Your kids eat Rice Krispie treats, chips, and drink Capri suns, but get stomach aches from Chipotle? GMAFB. Liar.

Wow. 38 pages.

We came back from the trip. I have to say that most of our travel companions were normal.

The problem is really just one kid, a 13 year old boy. He's just a greedy little a**hole. He ate all the other family's cookies, drunk all their sodas and didn't want to eat what his mother cooked him, but he wanted our food for EVERY meal.

The same problem we had with him last time. His mom doesn't tell him no.

Everyone else acted normal and everyone shared the extras they had.

You're an awful person. Who calls a 13 yr old this? Some pathetic whiner who has toddlers that still think you're great. Won't last.

THis is a parenting problem--address the parents. And work on yourself, since you're clearly a rotten person.

This whole forum made me laugh. I would never want to share a home with other people on vacation. That is just a set up for failure. Secondly, I grew up with 8 kids in my family. If some other kid wanted food, we shared even though we were nearly poor. The lesson O.P. Is stick with your own family vacations if you don't want to share.
