[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand all the people who are willing to house another persons kid for a summer with no compensation.  Maybe if the kid were poor and destitute.  I treat my kids friends to dinner and pay if i invite them but would never be willing to house them for a summer with no compensation no matter how wealthy I am.  My kid is one thing, theoretically I could have my kid sign a lease but agree to pay the costs.  [b]Im all about me and mine[/b].[/quote]

I think that’s one of the big dividing lines here—some of us treat our kids’ friends as family and others don’t. I would happily host any of my teen and college age kids’ close friends for a summer. They are great and fun to be around, and the thought of compensation would not enter my mind. In OP’s scenario though, no one is hosting as there will be no parents around. It seems obvious to me that all four boys should be treated the same in terms of rent, a deposit, maintenance etc, but clearly some people have very different values. [/quote]
