[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I personally would be horrified if my DC gobbled up all the others’ food. It’s incredibly rude and from the age of 10 and up I would expect some manners and tact.

It’s strange that never came up in this thread, but this just shows the American attitude that their kids are entitled to everything they desire.

How can you not feed poor little 6 feet tall 13 year old Johny if he’s hungry?  You’re so cruel.  Wow.[/quote]

OP, a box of pancake mix at Aldi's is under $2.  Add syrup for another $2 or not.  Or, a carton of eggs and a loaf of bread, same price.  I cannot imagine have a kid in my home or in that situation and not feeding them.  You can afford it if you can afford a trip like that.  Its not about entitlement.  Its about human decency and how to treat people.  [b]You are going to a shared house, you share meals. [/b] If you go for three days, you split up the meals by either day or by meal and each taking one except if someone is on a specific diet.  We do big scout trips.  We bring our own food because of food issues but always donate to the group stash and bring enough so when we make pancakes or eggs when kids come over, there is plenty.  I cannot imagine turning down a child or making them watch us eat and not offering food.  Who does that?  Oh wait, you.[/quote]

No, that is what YOU do.  The OP said that the adults on the trip agreed that they would share responsibility for dinners, but each provide their own family's breakfast and lunch.  Then they arrive and their kids become Oliver Twist, because not giving people who already have their own breakfast bacon is so "cruuuuuuel."  Absurd.

It's super easy.  Parent of begging child:  "Hey, Braxleigh/Braylynne -- That is the So-and-So's family's food.  You have your own food right here, which you have eaten already/are eating.  Stop being rude."[/quote]
