[quote=Anonymous]OP here -

I dont think anyone is clamoring to be at my private pool.  However, the mom wanted her kids to play with my kids and my kids will be at the pool - where they are every day after camp.

Her kids will also see a lot of their other friends at the pool, so they would probably have more fun than at a public pool - just from a social perspective.

I was very upfront about the $5 fee. I said, we are at the pool and you are welcome to join us - the guest fee is $5. It is up to her to accept or decline, although I do feel like it was a little rude. However, we invite our friends to join us all the time (many of whom cannot afford the full membership). I always say, let us know if you ever want to meet us at the pool - the guest fee is only $5. Some accept and some decline, but its still cheaper for them than joining. If we paid for everyone we invited, it would really add up.

I wouldnt be offended if someone told me about the guest fee but I can see how someone might think it was rude. Oh well, I am friends with this mom and an sure she wont hold it against me.[/quote]
