[quote=Anonymous]Can someone link the bacon thread??

I think both sides were rude, but most rudeness goes to the OP. If you are too poor to provide appropriate food, do not invite anyone!! When you invite someone over, you are expected to provide food. You should have had food and drinks out at arrival to greet them and thank them for making the drive! If you have a bunch of snacks out and they still went searching thru the fridge, that would have been rude. And you would have been within your boundaries to ask them to please leave the yogurt/bacon/cheese because that’s for breakfast, but please help yourself to fruit, crackers, chips and Queso etc from the spread you laid out on the counter. And the guests were rude for not showing up with anything either! They should have brought wine or baked goods or some other food as a hostess gift.

Floaties are for everyone’s use. Unless they stole something out of the hands of your tiny children, it’s all fair game.

The bed thing is iffy. Were there no other TVs she could watch? The towel thing seem like they were trying to be considerate for you and not get the bed dirty! I think it’s rude they didn’t ask first, but you saying no would have been just as rude. It sounds like you were enjoying talking with this family so you benefited by the girl finding someplace to hang out. If you found her going thru your makeup bag or making a mess of the sheets, then yeah, that’s not cool. But just sitting on a rented piece of furniture, on a towel to keep it clean, it’s fine.

I don’t have a dog and don’t get it. Do you also have a dog with dog food? Could you not spare a scoop for hungry rover? I assume it’s like diapers when I had a baby - I usually carried them with me everywhere, but if I went to a friends house with a same age baby, I would assume I could use one of her kids diapers.

I am so thrown off by the not sharing breakfast and lunch food. I’ve taken many many many beach and weekend trips with friends and all food is basically communal and we always have WAY too much. I bring a box of instant oatmeal my kids like, but a friends kids has some while mine has some of the eggs a different family makes for their kids and DH eats a muffin another family brought. Why would we want to take a trip with families and then count out every granola bar and egg?[/quote]
