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

It is clear you view AI as a free for all. Doesn't make you any less of a thief.

Oh my god, no it’s not forbidden is it?

Call the police 🙀

tread carefully if i was you because the certain type that you are snitching on is also the type that might knock your teeth out

You are missing the point. It is forbidden.

It is also being cracked down upon because there is an awareness of cheeky chancers who do this among their own booking/party.

It is theft, plain and simple.

Attitudes like yours really piss me off. Not only going AI in a foreign country, reliant on tourism, but then exploiting the fact that the overworked staff cannot possibly keep track of what drink/food item is going where.

But in my experience, it is a certain type that does this. I would take pleasure in slinging them out.

Sorry Bob, I've thought about it and that doesn't work for us. However, there's a supermarket in ... and you can get there on the ... bus that leaves at ...

Wot?

You paid all inclusive for your family

They didn’t

Now they don’t want your kids to eat snacks and drinks etc because it’s costing too much for them to buy them for their own kids?

Is that correct?

If so - are they stupid?

I mean yes that’s the ideal scenario but Plan B would be for her children to just give them the odd slushy. It wouldn’t kill them.

No. He wants for OP's kids not to fetch drinks, water, slushies when they want and to wait until he is willing to pay for the same for his kids.

I cannot believe what i am reading here,its absolutely ridiculous.
Lets just say ,you booked half board for your family and your friends booked bed and breakfast,would it be reasonable for the friends to say :your children should not have dinner because they didnt book half board for their children and thats not fair?
I would tell them you booked AI for you and your children so ofcourse they will use it.
I would suggest ,they ask the hotel if its possible to add AI to their booking if they are regretting not booking it.

You want her to tell her kids to steal stuff for other kids because their parents didnt pay for it?
Are you serious?

If they want their kids to have access to AI, they need to pay for it just like OP had to.

This stems from anxiety over spending of course. Your bil has lost perspective.

"I've thought about what you said and I'm not going to stop the kids going for drinks. I've paid for AI so we're going to use it. It would be silly not to."

He might sulk.

Holidaying with other families can be fraught with stress.

Hang on, am I understanding this correctly? Despite your whole family being AI, they want your kids (i.e. you) to pay for anything your kids consume/order? I’ve never heard of anything so absurd. They can bugger right off.

I think this morning I would just act surprised he’s being serious “thought you were joking “

And in your 20 years, do you think you’ve caught everybody That’s done it because I don’t.
Maybe the odd one, but I doubt you’ve even managed that

Pretty much what I was going to say, but you put it better! Enjoy your AI holiday op! Ignore the fucknuggets!

Are your kids not getting stuff from the all-inclusive for everybody? Is that the problem? They’re just getting it from themselves and then everybody else is kind of having to pay because every all-inclusive resort I’ve ever been to? I could’ve got drinks for the entire place and nobody would’ve batted an eyelid they don’t check to see how many you’re having or who you’re giving them to.
Would it hurt for you to let their kids have an ice cream or a drink?

Obviously your bil has had a mad moment and is totally unreasonable. Why on earth would you deprive your dc when you've paid upfront for AI? Madness.

This isn't an acceptable request by them. I suggest you are firm but pleasant about it to avoid falling out but really they shouldn't have asked you. They are effectively asking you not to consume something you have already paid for to make them feel comfortable. I personally wouldn't get their kids free drinks from the AI but I might offer to buy them some snacks as a gesture.

🤣🤣🤣
sadly this isn’t the most batshit thing I’ve heard this morning, but agree completely about the rest! You’ve paid for AI they can FO with their opinions

I think this is one of those times when No really is a complete sentence.

Tell him you've thought about it and as you paid £80 a day for the AI you will be using it to the max. Say if you pay £80 a day you should be able to get your dc plenty of treats.

Just because you haven't been warned, doesn't mean it is acceptable.

I can categorically tell you that giving drinks from AI to those who aren't AI has resulted in people being being thrown out.

It is viewed as theft of services and you can be escorted off the premises.

I assume you are speaking as a guest who did this. I am 20 years in the industry and we have zero tolerance for anyone passing food and/or drinks to non-paying guests.

Stop chatting shit.

I, who have been there, can confirm no one has ever been thrown out because of my actions. I’m not generally giving things out to a dozen families either. Just one or two kids that play with mine and an adult that’s sat while watching their kid etc. I’ve not covered other peoples lack of ai.

Yes, I’d definitely offer to buy people drinks. I wouldn’t buy them a second if it wasn’t reciprocated but that’s not going to happen at an AI. I don’t think it is taking the piss to give someone the odd drink. They’re paying to stay in the hotel and probably more than cover their free ones with the ones that they are paying for. I find it horrid when kids are throwing drinks around or getting a full drink and throwing it away for various kid reasons. The waste is atrocious but at least this way it’s wanted.

Can't they simply upgrade their children to AI. Even if they don't want it for themselves?

YANBU. And your Bil is mega weird
