[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those kids (and parents) are lucky to get a free stay in OP's Beach House. Why would OP have to pay for all of the meals for 7!!! 17 year old kids??!! That's a lot of money and if any of the parents think that's ok, they are out of their mind. They should give their kids money to buy snacks and food. [/quote]

The only people who won't think to offer (which is the tacky part- your kid gets invited, of course you offer) are people who grew up rich and don't even empathize that this could be an expense. Also the takers.

People who grew up poor and normal people would offer to pay for meals as a matter of course.

Wrong.

Plenty of working class immigrant families would feed everyone in an analogous situation. It’s a matter of hospitality and generosity and having class/pride.

Look at ethnic weddings, for example.

Wrong? Did you even read? PP said people who grew up poor would offer to pay. 
Even if the host was a working class immigrant themself which is not even a factor in this discussion, and insisting on feeding everyone, working class people would still check and offer. You're not even making sense. [/quote]

Most of us gladly feed people and pay.  [/quote]

You don’t ever do things like this. One dinner is nothing.[/quote]

I regularly feed kids - especially the HS sports team.  I provide all the food, cook and clean up.  Usually, we rotate homes but I do the bulk of it and don't complain. It’s easy to do it cheaply for 20-25 kids.  Usually it’s weekly for 10 weeks.[/quote]

You seriously need to stop making things up. Why are the high school teams of 20-25 teens regularly coming to your house? What’s the purpose? Never heard of this in my entire life.[/quote]

Its part of the team culture to do weekly meals before meets.[/quote]

It's team culture that one sucker does the bulk of it? Some culture. [/quote]

I prefer the kids at my house where they are safe.  [/quote]
