AIBU to let my children use all inclusive on a group holiday?

Against my better judgement I agreed to a group holiday. Mixture of family and friends all know each other well. All have children ranging from baby-16

My BIL organised it but we all booked separately.

He sent a link to an all inclusive resort and that's what I and half of the group booked.

BIL and the half booked the same hotel but self catering.

It was £600 more for AI- which as we are here for 8 days works out as less than £20 per person per day (four of us)

First night was fine as we all went out for dinner but today has been hell.

We have had a pool day and my kids have been able to get snacks/drinks/etc as they like but to purchase it all is quite expensive.

We've just come back from dinner- which was 'free' for us but not for them and were told it wasn't fair if our kids used the AI.

I asked why they didn't book the AI and they said they didn't like AI- but they were at dinner having the same food as us.

I don't want to be say to our kids that they can't use the AI but equally don't want to fall out. I enquired how much it would cost to upgrade to AI and it was 2200€ per family.

Cancel the cheque

It should be a banning offence. 500 posts, nothing for five days and people still think a) it's not resolved, b) no-one has had the same twee thought you have had and c) they're probably back from the bloody holiday by now.

You've booked AI so yes your kids should be getting drinks & snacks as they please. It's not your fault the other kids parents went self catering. They would know they have to pay for things their kids want. Not your problem so don't stop your kids from making full use of the AI.

So by using the word 'sneak', you acknowledge it would be wrong to do so?

Yes

JohnnieFedora · 13/07/2026 18:21

Can't BIL just pay for his own kids snacks instead of essentially asking OP to steal for him?

If he could just pay for his own kids snacks then this wouldn't even be a post, would it?

You can be the Fucknuggets on Family Fortunes 😂

Well, I didn't expect to update again but my BIL called ME a fucknugget 😂

Turns out MN shared this on Facebook and he saw it. Thanks MN...

He does want me to be clear that he saw sense before he read this thread, but has been waiting to call me a fucknugget most of the day, and was wondering if I would get there first.

Apparently my face was a picture as I realised, but it was all good fun- although I am very pleased I name changed 😆

😂😂😂😂

They can still change to AI I'm sure? Or get a day pass?

Fookin ell. I wonder why no one in the previous 480 posts thought of that?

Shame OP hasn’t replied 14 times after the initial post. Imagine what a funny story she could have told us?!

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! I wish this would happen more! Glad you've all seen the funny side and you're enjoying your hols and lols.

NotDarkGothicMama · 15/07/2026 09:52

Hahaha that's hilarious. Good job you said you like him!

<Waves to BIL>

BoxOfCats · 15/07/2026 09:16

Wow this is the best update I’ve ever read on MN 😂 I bet he couldn’t wait to tell you that!

NewDogOwner · 15/07/2026 08:38

They are mental.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/07/2026 08:11

Pmsl at updates and bil calling you fucknugget

tho I take it in jest

this is the bad thing about posts going into fb. I don’t think they should be allowed to as can cause issues

fashionqueen0123 · 15/07/2026 07:54

omg 🤣

oh well he realised the error of his ways!

I'm glad you name changed too, keep a little bit of your MN life Private. I hate the way threads are taken and plastered all over Facebook or the daily mail.

I'm surprised you noticed because he said fuck nugget it's a very old term, used for years.

I hope you all continue to have a great holiday

Possibly the best update ever. And he sounds like a great brother.

Exactly this!

They could save themselves even more of their valuable time and just not bother reading any OPs or writing any comments.
Simples!

🤣

And then if you say anything you get ‘oh well I don’t have time to read all 9368 pages, I have a job unlike you and don’t have time to sit here all day reading’.

Why is it that so many people read the original post but none of the updates, and still confidently write a completely irrelevant comment?

Why would you even consider asking your kids not to use the all inclusive. You are being ridiculous. The others were too tight to pay for it and that is on them. They can bring their own snacks and drinks to the pool. Why should anyone else suffer? Wise up

Oh. God.
