[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you invite someone somewhere you are responsible for paying.  Its tacky to do otherwise.

I would frame it as teaching responsibility.  Send a group chat to the parents and say you want to relax this year and give the boys more responsibility.  Say you have tasked your son with coming up with a grocery list with his friends and dividing the cost of food and cooking/cleaning responsibilities.[/quote]

Ok choosy beggar. Have some self respect instead of fishing desperately for a handout.

Sorry but it’s not who invites pays. People invite coworkers to join for lunch, friends invite each other to drinks, movies, outings without the ridiculous expectation that whoever invites is responsible for paying for everything. Wondering what your social life looks like with this silly attitude. I bet you don’t get invited twice and people avoid you like plague, because your reputation as a choosy beggar is solidified.

It’s fine to be generous and pay for everything, it’s fine to tell your guests what the expectations are. It doesn’t mean it’s tacky.

Nobody needs to “frame” anything or present it in a more palatable way when OP is generously offering her house to the group. Geez, some people have no shame.[/quote]
