[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you asked the second kid, it was in the same breathe that you set the rental terms. Was that true for the initial invite? Or did you invite first and then tack on rent later? Is it was a bait and switch, then I think you carry some blame for this situation.[/quote]

So what? The fact that the a-hole mom couldn't adjust to the news that there was an expectation of a very nominal fee with a bit more restraint or grace shows what type of person she is. If the OP's son had made the offer without mentioning money, I, the parent would still assume that there should be a fee involved. Who are these parents who think giving their child a free place to live in a resort area is their right? And what adult can't adjust their expectations and control their reactions so that they don't have to respond in disgust and then complain and gossip? [/quote]

The other kids parents need to accept with grace?  This has GOT to be the OP.  I always invite my kids friends with us, no expectation of money.  I have a second home and have had many people stay there rent free.  That’s how I roll.  I get that others do things differently but in this particular case the OP is clutching her pearls when she is actually in the wrong.  Unless the $1000 was disclosed initially it really is a bait and switch and I can see how the other mom would be surprised by the information.  The OP changed the terms.  It sounds like she was willing to pay once she let the shock over the request sink in but by that time OP had replaced her kid.  The worst part is all the kids suffer in this (except for the new invitee).[/quote]
