New poster. Same, same. ManBabyPig sounds terrible. It's ok to vent here, and OP is hilarious. Have any of you never met "black hole" people? You are lucky.

Oh and to the weirdo who thinks he's some cute little Lenny from Of Mice and Men gathering precious seashells. The hell? My kids had nets of seashells. He pawed through them and took all the really big beautiful ones. How is that sweet or touching? He's a freaking greedy freeloader in every way. Poaching seashells that kids gathered is so lame, he's a grown ass man.
Somewhere at sometime, someone will be posting something like this:
A guy I’m friendly, but not best friends, with invited me to go in his family vacation. I was a little nervous but figured it would be fun and my parents encouraged me to try something new. My friend’s mom gave me the stink eye every time I opened my mouth. It’s like I went from expecting to feel welcomed to feeling like a burden. I could do no right in her (stink) eyes. If we went out for the day for golf, I know she was secretly wondering how someone like me could golf for a day. She seemed annoyed about everything from shells to cookies to hush puppies. I was soooo glad to get home to my loving and accepting family. Judging others really sucks the life out of someone - my poor friend.
I’m jealous of all the people on this thread who just cannot wrap their heads around someone just being an unpleasant, selfish person. You must have had the good fortune to never meet someone like OP’s guest — trust me, they are out there.
No,dear, I know many selfish people. That’s not the point. The point is this kid was an invited guest of her family. The fact that he was a selfish or annoying guest is too bad. He was still her guest.

Because the younger two are girls and we don't want our son to be stuck inside all night once the younger ones get tired or stuck doing only activities they can do. Ideally, the friend is so they can go out at night or do stuff like jet skiing and just keep him company. However, this kid also doesn't happen to want to go out in the evening, won't parasail or jetski, and hates walking or physical activity so it's been entirely pointless having him join. He goes along on group activities but has mostly complained about heat, water temp, fun level etc. Trust me, I regret the invite.
He's your son's friend, though, right? As in, your son invited him? So, it seems REALLY unlikely your son would invite someone on a trip who didn't want to participate in the things your son wanted to do on the trip. Perjaps the message is actually coming from your son, and it is saying, "Mom, I do not want to be on this family beach trip, so I am going to ruin it."
Or alternatively, the friend is actually more fun than the uptight mom would care to admit and OP's son actually likes him.
Lol. You guys and your fairy tales. His other, more close friends all couldn't come due to work and other vacations. This is basically a 3rd tier friend from high school who my son thinks is okay but also now wishes he hadn't brought since he's gotten lectured at various points for what he orders, what he won't eat , using a plate for spaghetti instead of a bowl, what towel he chose to use, wanting to go out at night, etc.
Lady, you sound horrible. Lecturing the kid for using a plate instead of a bowl for spaghetti? Seriously? I too had mY son invite a kid who was a nightmare to our beach house, but I tried to get him in line and then encouraged my son to invite his other friends who are great
No. My son had plates. The friend lectured HIM on using a plate. I didn't lecture anybody which is why half the people in this thread are calling me an idiot
Pushover. The other half seem to think I should have been running an Eliza Doolittle Pygmalion course to educate him while we were there.
