[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This strikes me as a thread that goes off the rails because the initial description is inaccurate than everyone attacks the OP.

As I understand it, two families are renting a house and a third is invited for the afternoon (post lunch) and then dinner.

If this is the case, it seems a little rude that it turned into an all day food fest - and if its a rental for the weekend the host doesn't really have an unlimited food supply which a day guest should have realized.  Also weird and rude not to bring food for you dog.  Actually rude to bring dog but since OP didn't mention this, I guess the dog was invited too.  But doesn't the dog have a pretty specific diet he is used to.

I would also find it rude to have people rumaging through cabinets and my room without asking but maybe they felt that since it was a rental it wasn't the same invasion of personal space and they saw the other family doing this as well.

Mostly it sounds like OP just doesn't like this third family very much or know them very well.[/quote]

Bull to the last bit. She explained to them how it was going to be and they ignored her. Who brings their dog on an all day trip and doesn’t bring food for it. Who doesn’t feel their kids when making a trip. I think these friends were pissed that op didn’t invite them to stay and were rude intentionally. They could be jealous that op can afford to rent the beach house and showed up with a bad attitude.

Op did something nice by inviting them to dinner and you have turned it into her being an evil witch. The “friends” are responsible for taking care of their family. [/quote]

Geez, I feel like you really misread my post or perhaps I didn't explain myself very well.  I am semi-team OP.  I said it was rude to just help yourself to things without asking.  I said it was rude to bring the dog (or at least not be prepared with the dog's things)  As for the last part - OP herself later said she doesn't really like the kids.  In no way did I turn her into an evil witch (although she certainly has been attacked by a lot of other posts which weren't mine.)

I think this is a clash of parenting styles and not a good fit for vacationing together.  Thank goodness it was only half a day.[/quote]
