[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s tacky to ask. If it were just one or two friends, it would be. But seven 17 year olds for five nights? That’s a lot of food.[/quote]

Then don't invite 7! [/quote]

I don’t know, it sounds more like 8 kids are lucky to have a free beach house to use for their own trip. Not so much that they’re invited guests of the OP. (Even though she worded it that way. I have a 17 year old and that’s how I’d see it.)[/quote]

Nope. You don't get to play dumb. If you didn't want 7 teenagers there, you should have told your 17 year old not to invite them. [/quote]

PP here. My 17 year old was invited to a friend’s parents’ beach house with 8 other girls last summer specifically to celebrate the host child’s birthday. Would have been tacky in that instance to ask for money, in my opinion. They covered everything.

This summer, my teen is going to the beach with the exact same group of girls to a different family’s beach house to celebrate high school graduation. It’s a group trip and they’re all incredibly lucky to have a house to use. I will of course insist on contributing money towards meals, but I wouldn’t be offended in the least if the parents asked first. They’re doing the kids a favor.[/quote]
