[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my son's BF with us on a 3 night trip to our vacation property (kids are in our quarantine bubble and we wore masks whenever we left the condo).  Mom and I are good friends, we socialize without the kids, etc.  Yesterday before we left to head home I texted her with our return time ETA.  She texted back with a thumbs-up emoji.  When we got to the house, I walked in with her son and his bags.  Son said "mom is on a work call" so I left (I also work full time so I totally understood she may have been on a work call).  I texted her "He's home!" and left.  She has not answered me at all, not even a thumbs up.  No thank you, no "Hey when he went to sleep tonight he told us all about the great time he had", etc.  I am feeling hurt and a bit used.  I also have a pile of his stuff that I washed (it was in the wet bag) like his pool towel, bathing suit, water bottle, etc.  It is all clean and I am tempted to just leave it on their steps without a word.

Am I overreacting?  I took her son for three nights, paid for everything (take out, ice cream, etc) -she didn't even send him with $5.  This is a family who regularly vacations in Europe, etc so they know how to travel and they have means.  I am not looking for much, just one text of thanks.  I will let it go because I am not one to start issues, but I wanted to vent and also do a sanity check... my expectations are not out of line, correct?[/quote]

You brought the child for your needs to play with your child so you wouldn't have to play with your child.  I don't think she should send money.  I also don't think you should be bringing another kid or doing a quarantine bubble as that's a bunch of BS and why we cannot return to schools and life because of selfish people like you.  I don't send money with my kid when parents take them out.   Your invite you pay.  When I invite I pay.  If you cannot afford to feed the kid, don't invite him.  You are complaining about what was your choice.  You are exhausting.  Stop inviting the kid.[/quote]
