Spliting holiday bill

[Lilly11a]

First ever aibu .

I have two brothers one is getting married in Malaysia I have booked a room for me and my 16 year old son for say 80 a night.

My other brother 30 wants come into room. They do a pull out bed for extra 25 a night. I m happy to sleep on this .

I said let's split the room 2/3s 1/3 So I pay 75 he pays 30 .

He thinks he only pay 25 as this is the extra but

1. The room will be more crowded
2. If he booked a room on his own it would still be 80 so we are both benefiting from sharing
3. It means I m paying more per night for my 16 year then he is

What do you guys think? Am I being tight?

What do you think

My ideal scenario of going to Malaysia would be not to share a room with DS (15) let alone a 30 year old brother who can look after himself........

...meaning I just like my own space, nothing more than that

Why don't you have your own room and put the boys in together?

If he has done work on your house that you wokld have had to otherwise pay for/pay more for then you certainly should pick your battles IMO

This changes things!

Brilliant solution. OP has her own space. Bliss.

Except bro will probably look for 40 quid from OP for her son's share.

People who invite themselves to benefit financially from deals like this are so unattractive.

I love my siblings dearly, but last shared any rooms with them 30 years ago - no plans to re-start..

£10 a night between what I think he should pay and what he thinks so it's £90 . I paid for all the materials and fed and watered him while he was working and I m fairly sure he made money from what I gave him ( not loads but prob 150 ish)

Does this take into account the value of his time?

Would it have cost you more than £90 more to pay a professional to come in and do the jobs?

I'd tell him to get his own room . I wouldn't want to share a room with my brother

Tell him to get his own room. And don't rely on him for work in your house anymore. Too crowded. If he wants to be cheap in Malaysia he can stay elsewhere. Does he have form for being a chancer?

Tell him to fuck right off and get his own room for 25

I wouldn't want someone in my room on a pullout bed for nine nights, much too cramped and in each other's way for far too long.

I'd tell him to get his own room.

If you're nicer than me, tell him you're the one doing him a favour saving him paying for his own room so either he pays what you're asking or he can pay the full price and have his own roon

Tbh I don't think I'd quibble given that he's done work for you. I presume it would be handy to keep him on side for future work?

For 9 nights? no, tell him to get his own room. Or better still let him and your son share and you get the single room. 9 nights of two men farting and harrumphing? no thanks!

I'd leave the cost issue out of it completely and say that the room share won't work.

If he's done work on your house, can you offer to return the favour by helping him with something else ?

I'd not pettifog over a £5.

If he's been helping you out then that changes things. A favour here, a favour there.

Since you are going all that way for a lovely holiday in a five star resort, no way would I share with two blokes. They will leave stuff everywhere, fart, leave the loo seat up and all sorts.

Book a single room for yourself with a sea view and pay half of your son's room costs to share with db. Worth every penny.

Do you have meals included? Just to warn you in case you aren't aware but food and drink can be very pricey in these resorts with little option to go elsewhere. So if at all possible negotiate a good rate for half board and keep the costs down as far as possible.

Have fun.
