[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP and haven't looked at this thread or posted in several days due to travel for work.  Seems like some things other people said were attributed to me which I guess I don't really care about but I didn't say some of the things attributed to me.

I definitely have complained about this child and family partly out of venting and frustration but I also genuinely wanted a gut check.  As the thread went on I felt like I needed to defend myself and added more details.  Her name isn't really Suzie (duh).  I have tried to include them, I have tried to be kind, I have tried to be understanding, and I have tried to be accommodating.  I am at the end of my rope with it and have taken the advice given by the majority here and am moving on from chasing this family for RSVPs.

I did contact council to give them a heads up and I let the dad know that we couldn't accommodate a male chaperone on this trip (we are staying in a cabin, not hotel, and do not have capability for separate sleeping quarters for a male chaperone).  They are going to follow up with me with some advice moving forward with this family.  For now she is not coming on the trip.

I plan to have a parent meeting and reiterate the rules of chaperoning.  As we are sleeping in a shared space, unless someone decides to sneak wine in the bathroom, I think that sobriety will not be an issue.

Thanks for the solid advice and the crazy judgment.  It was helpful and entertaining, respectively.[/quote]

Why can't he get a separate cabin or sleep in a tent?  Ok, we don't get you don't like mom but don't punish the child because of that.[/quote]

Why should the OP punish herself with dealing with this obnoxious kid?

One reason my DD dropped GS and why I stopped being a leader was the over the top of  being over inclusive. [/quote]
