[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You wrote that you " invited " this family to spend the day with you OP. Either you do not know what the word "invite" means or you had an improper upbringing or both. A proper host provides refreshments. There is no problem if you cannot afford them or are too miserly to provide them. Then, do not " invite" people to join you. Where did you grow up OP? How old? What economic class?

My DH + I were " invited" to someone's beach house for a few days. I bought a huge gift basket with food, wines, etc. to present to the hosts. Instead of offering any thanks whatsoever, the guy who was my husband's friend and who I had never met, pulled me aside to ask me for money for food ( not my husband).it was terrible.. He should have given us an invoice in advance and set our expectations about what everyone was to pay for.

If I " invite" someone to something, I pay; otherwise I do not invite them.

Families share the cost of renting a beach house house together and they share the cost of food.

Why would someone invite you to stay for free at their beach rental and feed you for free?  Are you struggling financially and this is a charity act?

In this case, they were not invited to stay at the house, but to swim at the lake and share dinner which was also outside.[/quote]
