[quote=Anonymous]My kid had a friend with parents like this when he was younger.  When it was vacation time, his parents would say something like, "Jake, why don't you ask if you can go on vacation with Luke & his family?"  Who tells their kid to ask to be invited on someone else's vacation?!

This happened 3 years in a row!  I'd decline, the kid would look hurt, I'd tell him I'd make sure my son bought him a souvenir back, he'd cheer up a bit, and then his parent would say, "ah, maybe next year!"  After the kid asked the first time, I told him mom in private that I was sorry, but our family vacation was for family only.  I hope she understood, but we still loved having Jake come over for play dates and activities.  She was totally fine with it and said she'd call after we returned to set something up for the kids.  It was weird because it was always very 50/50 when it came to activities.  If we invited her son to a movie, the next week she'd invite my son to the trampoline place.   [/quote]
