How much should parents pay towards holiday?

[sharond101]

We are going on holiday with my parents. We got 2free child places so effectively kids are accounted for. We have 2 rooms, 4 adults 2 kids. my parents want to pay half but I still think that's unfair somehow. How much would you expect them to pay?

I am simply asking what others thin kn is fair as I dont think they should be paying as much as half. I dont think your rudeness is needed.

You have booked two rooms and they are in one of them-they should pay half.

They asked to come, so it’s their choice.

I would say half unless you wanted a specific room type they wouldn't have normally chosen. Then you pay the difference.

Did you add anything to the booking you deemed important but they don't?

But I think it also depends on your parent's situation. Is paying half a problem for them?

Half unless there's something making half more expensive than they'd pay going on their own. In a similar situation we paid nearer 70% as we were the ones tied to school holidays and that really pushed the price up.

Depends on the situation - maybe your parents want to pay more than they should as they see it as paying towards their grandchildren's holiday, or if they've got more disposable income want to help you out?

This.
The Grandparents are having their holiday in a place they probably wouldn't choose if going on their own, and are happy to pay possibly slightly over what they would if going on their own, to have the chance to have this holiday with their grandchildren.
I don't see why you are making an issue out of it.
It is hardly unusual for parents to want to treat their adult dc and / or grandchildren, if they are financially able to do so.
