[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how it works on DCUM.

A person experiences a frustrating situation and posts about it. If they post too many details, people immediately leap on them for being obsessed with the situation. If their post is vague, people immediately start questioning whether they are a troll.

In this situation, the OP's son (for whatever reasons) decided to bring a friend on a family vacation and picked someone who the family doesn't know well. The friend did not behave like a gracious guest, appreciative of the (presumably) free beach vacation with someone else's family. Instead, he ate all the food and complained a lot. That sounds like a huge downer.

So OP came here to post about it, and people have been leaping all over her saying that she must be a huge bitch and have treated the kid like crap and why didn't she just say something blah blah blah. Realize that y'all are such uptight pearl clutchers 90% of the time that if she HAD said something to the kid, you would have said that was rude, she was the host and should have just sucked it up because that's what a good host does.

The more she tries to clarify, the more y'all hate her and call her defensive and bitchy. Meanwhile, if she didn't clarify, the narrative would be "OP is clearly a troll, she posted all this and then didn't answer follow up questions."[/quote]

+1- Exactly.  I no longer post my issues here because no matter what, the responses all try to say the issue is my own fault.  
I'm with OP- the kid sounds like a PITA and would drive me crazy.

Nailed it! Thank you! (not OP)[/quote][/quote]
