[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family friend of ours has invited us to join them for a week at their beach house this summer. They have 2 kids, we have 3 kids.

What should we offer/bring to show our appreciation for hosting us? We will offer to pay for groceries and eating out, but should I bring a host gift? Anything else? Do I need to do all the laundry on the day we leave (sheets, towels)? This is our first time being hosted at a vacation home.

Fwiw, both families are well-off (kids in private schools, luxury cars, etc), so it’s not a financial burden for them to host us or for us to offer to pay for stuff. I want to be a good guest.

You are nauseating and I would want to vacation with you in a million years.

Why couldn’t you just say “money isn’t the issue neither of us is hurting” or something like that.  “Kids in prívate schools, luxury cars?”  Really?  [/quote]

DP here. Someone sounds jealous.[/quote]

Nope.  I have plenty of money.  A net worth well into the millions.  I just don’t / didn’t waste it on luxury cars or private schools.  That way I don’t have to mooch off of others for my vacations.

Anybody who feels the need to say they drive a luxury car and sends their kids to private schools when neither is germane in any way to the issue being discussed is simply pathetic. [/quote]
