That’s exactly the problem.

It’s people like you who teaches your kids it’s OK to take other people’s things when they leave them unattended or look away.

How is this OK? Why do you feel entitled to others’ personal items?

We were brought up to ask permission before using others’ stuff.

If you invite someone to a vacation house with a pool, then you are implicitly allowing them use of pool related items including the deck, deck chairs, towels, toys and floaties that are around the pool. Sorry but I don’t see this as an issue at all.

I agree the kids should not have been helping themselves to snacks, opening up cupboards without permission, etc.  I also think OP should have had a platter of snacks out to welcome them (like a veggie or cheese plate) with some snacks prior to the meal, and offered guests a drink upon arrival.[/quote]
