Fairly new boyfriend (1 year) booked a large house at centre parks this time last year, with the intention of going with just his kids. Asked if I would like to go along with my kids.
So after some persuasion I said that would be nice, and said I would get all activities for weekend. As there are 6 of us the activities will get quite expensive, but not as much as he had paid for the house (about £900). He then said it would be easier if I just paid for half of house.
Obviously I'm a lone parent and haven't budgeted for this - I really would never book centre parks for my family as it's far too expensive for me. So if I go I've got a bill for £450 plus activities for me and kids, and probable meals out.
My thinking was that he'd paid for house without any expectation of anyone else sharing the cost. He didn't mention me going halves when he was inviting me. I'm feeling a bit miffed, but now I've said I'll go I feel I just need to go with it. It's not that I will be destitute or anything it's just that Christmas will need to be a bit leaner because of this!
I usually pay half of anything we do, and I think that's fair. So am I wrong to be a bit miffed?
