OP here.

So many angry people. Maybe you wouldn't be so angry if you had a beach house?

Anyway, update.

First kids mom has come grovelling back asking over the course of three emails if her kid could please join the beach house. She apologized profusely and claimed she'd been emotional when she sent the email. Answer was "Too bad, so sad"

Three other boys have since come forward asking if they could rent the other bunks in the bunk house and they got into a bidding war- offering $2000 each. DH and BILs said no because of the septic system. I thought they were foolish because for 7k you could almost replace the system which is nearing its end of life anyway.

So- here's the takeaway if you're a mom. Keep your gossipy mouth shut and play nice. Because it will cost your kid socially big time.

I absolutely believe it. Growing up my best friend's parents had a house on St. Simons. During college and law school her parents let her use it for the summer. Competition was FIERCE to get a spot. You have any idea who you rub elbows with in the summer down there? Judges, Senators, Congressmen, etc. These are people that can set you up for life.

Acreage that can get you “set up for life” my God it just gets better and better

Oh, you deny white privilege? You think a poor black girl from SE Memphis has the same chances at success as a rich white girl form Buckhead? Cute. You must be rich and white to think that way anyway.

Wow. Okay. I’m sorry I was disrespectful. This is one of DCUM’s better trolls.

We avoid people who punish children for what their parents have done, but thanks for the warning anyway!

Insurance is easily another $75 on top, then taxes are probably another $100. So, just the cost of having him there is $250 a month or $750 a summer. That means he's getting a private, air conditioned room for $83 a month.

So its fair to say the kid is living for nearly free. Or at the very least he is extremely subsidized.

I'm in team OP camp.

Screw the wannabe free loader.

That's ridiculous because there will be four people sharing those expenses. And wtf is insurance? You pay insurance when you go to your own family's house? Are you talking about property taxes and property insurance? Kid isnt costing you that, letting the three boys is costk g them that.

Regardless, 10 bucks says scorned friend ends up crashing on the couch a lot of the summer unbeknownst to op. Sounds like a fun summer and I'm sure her ds is humiliated and mad at her

I withdrew the offer yesterday afternoon and another boy was offered the same deal. He and his parents accepted it immediately.

The first boy's mom sent me (and one of my BILs who'd been on the email thread) a long rambling email calling us "assholes" and then concluded by asking if he could actually take the deal. We said no.

Then she defriended me on FB. lol.

That's a load - didn't happen.

I don’t believe that update either.

+100

No mention as to how OP’s son feels about her uninviting his friend, etc.

I know, what a shame. We took our kid's friends on vacations and paid for everything. You don't really want to charge friends or family, certainly don't put yourself in that position.

I’m another one who hosts my kids friends. For free. For extended periods of time at my vacation place. I would never think to ask for money. I don’t need the money and they are my kids guests. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I think it’s hilarious that the lawyer BILs want to draw up a lease for a shed. I’d love to see that lease. I feel bad for the OP’s kid who probably lost a good friend because of his moms awful behavior.

We believe you!!!
