[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe people are trying to excuse this behavior. I have teen girls and at that age, if they weren’t offering to clear off the table after dinner, making their beds, saying thank-you and asking how they could help out around the house/ with the small cousins, I would be LIVID with my girls.

OP, are they still there or is the weekend over? I definitely think you need to have a kind, direct conversation with them about expectations. [/quote]

You care, many don't.  I've never heard a thank you from the parents or kids who visit us most summers.  They'd never offer to help and the one time they offered to babysit so I could go to the doctor, they slept the entire time.   Thankfully kid was ok on video games the entire time but had I known I wouldn't have let my child with them.  Much of it is parenting.  The kids who visit us, you can see that the parents aren't gracious and other things so the kids haven't learned that either.  I would be living with mine as well.[/quote]
