How much should I contribute?

[Greengreengrass28]

I offered to pay for me and my mum. Altogether 4 adults and 2 kids. Meal came to £150. We all had the same amount of food and drinks including alcohol. Is £50 too much or too little?

Anyone?

Who do the kids belong to?

Well split 6 ways it's £25 each but that charging the kids the same as the adults which given alcohol was had that isn't fair

Unless there's a big drip feed coming id say that was too little

£50 for two adults would be too little, you’ve split the bill 6 ways which mean the kids would be the same cost as an adult but presumably would have kids meals and no alcohol. If they are much older kids/young adults then it would be fair enough though.

How much of it was yours and your mum’s? What were the circumstances that lead to more people coming? What’s their connection to you?

Yes, assuming the kids didn't have alcohol and their meals might've been cheaper than the adults (you haven't said), I'd say it's too little too.

Are They your kids? If not I would pay £60. Counting the kids as one adult.

Pay an amount that corresponds roughly to what you and your mum spent, plus any of the kids that are yours. And don't forget service charge/tip.

Who ate what? How old are the kids? A 5 yo won't eat as much as a 13 yo!

You’re lucky to get two meals and two drinks for £50 when we go out.

Maybe order separately if it’s an issue.

How old are the children? Toddlers or teenagers? Surely the kids didn't have the same amount of drinks including alcohol? Your OP isn't clear at all!

£25 a head seems a lot for 2 kids. Either pay for what you and your mum had or perhaps a £65/85 split?

Are you literally at the table now with the bill imminent?!

Unless there’s an agreement that you don’t split it equally, why wouldn’t you pay for what you and your mum had to eat and drink?

Would £30 per adult, £15 per child work? Then £60 for you and your mum, plus tip (or the other people might absorb the full
tip if the kids are on larger meals but no alcohol)

Too little

Sorry key info missed. They're not mine, they're my neices.

Not enough info here. How much did the kids eat, how old?
i think you should have paid your and your mum’s food. £100 for 2 adults and 2 kids is a lot unless they had lots of booze too.

I hope not because with the lack of info from the OP, they'll be still there at breakfast! 🥓 🍳

Did the DC have a 'kids menu' if so how much was that? Some DC meals are very cheap.
