[quote=Anonymous]OP, your options are basically: a) Say something to correct the behavior for the rest of the vacation. Communicate specific expectations about meals e.g., "For breakfast, there are 8 breakfast burritos and 8 of us. Everyone gets 1. If anyone feels like they need more breakfast, they can pick something up on the way to the beach themselves" or "Dinner tonight will be at XYZ restaurant. Everyone is allowed one entree, plus one appetizer or dessert. Entrees must be under $XX." or b) Suck it up for the rest of the vacation. Don't comment on or correct the behavior. Don't have an attitude. Afterward, communicate to your son that this person is not welcome to join family vacations again and that next time he brings a friend, that person is expected to contribute to the food budget.[/quote]
