[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's definitely tacky to ask for money, however, I would set expectations from the beginning. Tell the parents that the kids will be eating breakfast at the house daily but they'll probably be doing lunch or dinner outside. That way, you are not on the hook for 3 meals a day and it's reasonable. high schoolers should have their own money for eating out. Nothing fancy, but they should be able to cover a slice of pizza on the boardwalk. Also, if the parents have some good etiquette, none of these kids should be showing up empty handed either. If my kid was invited, I would definitely tell him to buy pizza for everyone in the house once during his stay, and/or I would send him with a [b]hostess gift[/b].[/quote]

Wtf with the hostess gift! No, I don’t want your cheap scented candles that will go straight into the trash. I want you as a parent to make my life easier accommodating 7 teens for a week. How generous of you to advice your kid to get his own slice of pizza for lunch! Maybe my idea of vacation doesn’t include doing groceries and cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for ten people. On top of that from my own money. Wow at the insane level of entitlement. Have you hosted a large group for extended time before? If not, just shut up.

If you don't want to host, don't but you make the choice.  You also choose to invite that many kids.  You are the entitled one.[/quote]
