[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am now laughing remembering when he walked into my room asking had I seen his red swimsuit because he evidently came into his room and thought I was gathering his laundry to do. Or the time we packed 7 leftover pieces of pieces for the 3 guys to eat at the beach and HE ATE THEM ALL lol. Y'all think I'm exaggerating and I didn't even mention half of it. [/quote]

I do believe you OP, but why wouldn’t your own son say something to his friend?  Like your son has such poor judgment in friends and wouldn’t even stick up for himself?  Why wouldn’t he say Hey Joe, why’d you eat the pizza that was clearly meant for everyone?  I’m just saying most of the issues are with your sons choices - choice of friends, choice of guest (couldn’t he consider not inviting this guy and going alone with his family??), and choice of response when friend didn’t understand this family’s culture/ behaviors. 
So...don’t have him invite anyone you don’t already know well. He isn’t the best decision maker here. [/quote]

JFC, the posters in this thread. PP, are you seriously saying that the problem here is OP’s son’s “choices” and not the behavior of the guest himself? [/quote]

The problem is that no one in the family said anything so the friend likely thought his behavior was just fine.  If one of DC's friends were being inconsiderate to me, DC would absolutely say something.  Either OP's son didn't think the friend's behavior was bad or, like OP, prefers to just judge with disgust.  Not a good trait if it's the latter.  [/quote]

My son is another clueless 19 year old albeit one with good manners. He lives with other 19 year olds, I doubt this behavior was even egregious to him.  But he's not going to tell his friend "hey there Lenny, you sure are eating all the food and ordering like a MFer! Could you not be a boor and save some sunscreen!" My son is also way more easygoing generally and pretty much nothing fazes him. He just dealt with lenny berating his shoes and golfing and plates with equanimity. [/quote]

Earlier you said your son was regretting bringing him and now you’ve switched to saying that your son is so easygoing that he doesn’t notice how annoying “Lenny” is.

Also, does anyone else wonder if all of op’s son’s “first” and “second” tier friends were “too busy” to go with them because they have been on vacation with, or spent enough time with op to know better than to go on this trip?  :lol: I bet I know.  :lol: [/quote]
