How should this be divided up?

[H0LLOW]

— One family of four (2 adults and 2 kids)
— one couple
— one dad and daughter

£2000 for the holiday home

kids are all teens, not working

I think this is the best suggestion so far.

Probably all book your own accommodation close by in future and meet up for a few evenings/days out. If the payment sounds like he'll, the holiday will probably be equally stressful.

This, remember a similar thread where the family of 4 thought the meal bills should only be split amongst the adults as well that they should all be happy to pay for the kids food!

I agree with this, obviously not all rooms are exactly the same size with the same view etc etc but my god I wouldn’t be going away with anyone quibbling about the finer details. For us the most important part of our big family holidays is that we’re all going to enjoy each others company. We are a group of about 24, there has never ever been a moan about ‘they’ve got a better room but paid the same as us with a smaller room’ in 20+ years.

I’d go for £400 per room, assuming each room is roughly equal size. If some of the rooms are bigger or more facilities eg en-suite I would adjust that.

It should be per room not per person.

Pay per room, that sounds the fairest split.

The trouble with that is that effectively a single parent with one child is paying twice as much as a family of four.

Yes, being single is very expensive. Everywhere you go.

That would be the case regardless of the accomodation though. Yes it's a bit shit but the daughter would need a separate room from her father no matter what accommodation was being used or if they'd booked separately.

Would she. I go away with my sin and share a room. Is that not OK?

I would divide per room if it is just accommodation

Unfortunately that's just the way it is if the child is too old to share with their parent.

Yes of course they'd need sperate rooms just as your son will need his own space when he is a teenager. Sharing a room with mum and dad when you're the opposite sex isn't really reasonable as they get older.

Split by room. I've just invested 20 minutes doing the maths all different ways and a room split seems the only way.

Houses get more expensive the more rooms you need so...

It should be split per room needed.

My son's 22yo 🤣 and last time I asked on here if it was OK I was told I was mad to even consider it wasn't.

Last time we went away as a group we counted adults (18+) as 1 and kids (under 18) as 0.5.

If your son is 22 years old then surely he should be paying for his own room?

It's pretty normal to have your own space on holidays as you get older.

Actually no, I'd split per person. We went away last week - 14 of us in a massive house. We split per person and that seemed fair. All couples bar a 22 year old lad, a 16 year old girl and our 14 year old ds who each had a room.

🤣 Come back when your adult children are paying for the privilege of going on holiday with you 🤣

Op

you could create a family WhatsApp and put some of the suggestions from here on there and have a vote?

The problem is I assume you are all getting access to a wonderful open plan living area in a detached property- you will need to pay for that and that’s where the higher costs come in

Family- £800
Couple-£400
Dad and daughter £800

I'd do it by room. Food id split per person.
