[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave OP alone. Every one of you would get annoyed to no end if your child invited a similar guest to your family vacation.[/quote]

But instead of drawing boundaries or taking action like an adult with choices, options, language, OP decided to come here and complain about a teenager.[/quote]

Eh, she’s not trying to shame the kid or make him feel bad, so she’s being internally annoyed and venting on an anonymous forum. Most of us would not try and “correct” an obnoxious guest...you just endure it for the sake of politeness.[/quote]

You really think she's not letting her annoyance show to the guest?  I am skeptical.  Also, I don't think saying, "let's make sure everyone gets a fair share of the cookies" is impolite or correcting in the least.[/quote]
He's 19. If OP is showing her annoyance to him, it's okay. He needs to realize his actions are indeed annoying and he needs to shape up.[/quote]

No, that's absolutely wrong - either you use your words (i.e., please share the cookies) or you keep all negative emotions firmly in control.  You seem to be excusing OP acting annoyed but not actually using language to address the issue.  If this guy "needs to realize his actions are indeed annoying and [that] he needs to shape up," use words to say what needs to happen.  It's not okay for OP, the adult, to act pissy without explanation.[/quote]
