[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because you cooked and hosted doesn't mean you deserve a hug. Gross. [/quote]

Well I do think I deserved some thanks. [/quote]

you said he did show gratitude earlier - how many times does he have to thank you?  I think your expectations are a bit odd- and it's weird it bothered you so much you are fixated on it. he's an 11 year old kid for goodness sake. even a good kid doesn't have the fully developed social skills of an adult.[/quote]

It's not about how many times he has to thank me. It's about acknowledging the hosts before leaving their place. Is that so odd to understand? When I said he showed gratitude earlier in the visit, I meant that he would say "Yes/no, thank you" if we offered something. But over time, I think the visit wore him down because he became restless and started horsing around, poking his nose into things and not being as well-behaved as he was at the beginning. Anyway, disagree with me about my expectations if you like. It doesn't matter at this point anyway.[/quote]

NP here.  But you tthen or us that he told you that he was having fun and glad to be there.[/quote]
