[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a similar situation.  We have a house near a ski resort where we go all winter on the weekends.  My son is 9 and is a very social kid. We would be happy to bring a friend along sometimesbut the friend would need a lift ticket for 2 days, rentals and possibly a lesson. (for most friends)  The lift tickets for 2 days is close to 200 plus rentals 40.  We have season passes.

We are happy to feed and house the second kid but is it tacky to invite but then ask for the parents to cover the lift ticket and rental? My gut says yes, but I would like to let my son invite some friends this year but 300 per weekend would add up quickly. (I'm adding food at the mountain in there plus whatever incidentals)

Wow, I guess that’s one way to ostracize your kid.

“We own a vacation home worth probably close to a million, but this weekend’s $300 is where we feel the pinch.”

I’d understand if you were bringing the same guest every single weekend, but for the friend, it’s likely a one or two  time thing.

You are inviting them for [b]your[/b] kid’s entertainment, and probably your own benefit, so you can have some couple time. [/quote]
You don’t know their budget or whether they inherited the house and work for non profits. The house may still belong to the grandparents. OP seems kind and reasonable to me. No need to go on the attack.[/quote]
