Friends wants me to pay towards her hotel room,aibu not too?

[lisaandpop]

Me and two friends and her 14 year old daughter are going to London on Sunday night to see a show.
My friend booked two twin rooms at £80 per room.
I thought great that's £40 each for me and my friend.
My other friend has turned around and said that's around £53.50 each.
I said it's only £40 each for me and my friend as the room is £80
She has said two rooms is £160 so that's £160 shared 3 ways.
Aibu to think this is a bit cheeky?

You could always invite a 5th person & ask CF to pay a contribution to the extra guest's room.

Sorry but its not your problem that she is taking her daughter and not a friend to split the cost with, but that is her problem and she needs to realise this or your going to end up splitting everything 3 ways, taxis, meals, etc. sorry but not sorry your child pay for her yourself

Surely people like this must lose friends?

Oh gosh it’s bad enough her teenage daughter is coming on this girlie trip without you having to pay her share ! If it had been me I would have arranged a sleepover for my daughter and gone with you alone.

I wouldn't be happy to have a 14 year old joining a friends' weekend away, it changes the whole dynamic having a youngster along.

No, YANBU. There's no question about it. Simple math! You are occupying one room with another, therefore you are responsible for paying half the cost of that room and nothing more. Your 'friend' is trying to pull a fast one. No one would find her reasoning acceptable.

Did you get a response OP?

Are you splitting theatre tic 3 ways? No! Tell her that you and your other friend are paying for your room £40 each and she can pay for her daughter. How much each if you had of got the triple?

Friend is definitely a cf. Did she get back to you yet?

I'm going to go against the grain and say it would depend on circumstances.
I would pay it if I was a close friend of the woman and she didn't have much money and I did.
I do this with my sister, she has two kids and we always just half the cost of everything.

@sweeneytoddsrazor ok so a honkey is what we here in my locale call an ice-cream/99. Specifically one you buy from the man in the van but now used to refer to all ice-creams. But it is a very local term. As I said 10 mile up or down the road and you'd be getting side eye looks.

If she's that strapped for the cash you could have had a family room and her and her daughter could have slept on the Childs bed. My amazon 16 year old sleeps on them ok, so should have been ok for your friend.

Definite CFery

Has she got back to you?

Any news OP?
I had a similar issue with a friend once and she wasn’t happy with me not paying for her son. She cancelled the trip :-/

Ooh I'm sooo here to find out why the friend said!!

I agree with al the other PPs. I'm glad you say no way. If she queries , the simple answer is " no , you're mistejn if you are trying to tell us we're responsible for paying for your daughter. You're her mum, it's your job to pay for you and her, including her tickets , the hotel room just you & your child are sharing and her food. Am happy to split petrol costs 3 ways but we're not made of money"

*wish I'd spell checked that.

*glad you said no way in your text to her.

*Mistaken not mistejn

Has she replied?

Who is driving? If it’s the mum with the teenage daughter, I would just suck it up as a thank you for doing the driving. I think that’s too late now though given you’ve already sent her a message.

YANBU!

This is unbelievable CFery

I'm assuming that as it's Monday morning, the show was last night.

Did they pay?
Did they even go?!
