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?

To be honest, I would have expected the petrol to be split four ways too. The 14 yo is a person who takes up as much space and eats as much food and everything else. Why on earth should she come for free?

Can CG become mumsnet terminology like CF please? Crotch goblin is so apt in so many situations.

did she just assume because u split petrol 3 ways you would do the same for the rooms

not excusing it just a thoght

Very cheeky. You always pay for your own kids.

Can CG become mumsnet terminology like CF please?

Definitely preferable to ‘LO’

Ohhh I thought crotch goblin was a bit cheeky until the explanation was given. Genius!!

I think petrol between the adults is fine, rooms less so. You just pay half the room you are using.

I think petrol between the 3 adults is fine because the 14 year old is not old enough to drive. The hotel room should be split 4 ways.

I think you're right to split petrol 3 ways as having extra teen doesn't add to cost. But you should only have to pay half of your room as teen is making cost a lot more. Similarly if you'd travelled by train your friend would have had to pay 1 adult and 1 child ticket while you and other paid 1 ticket each.

Friend is a cheeky git. Stand firm

I'd make damn sure you don't wind up subbing her child on food and everything else. Your friend's a CF, she'll try it on.

Stick to your guns and only pay £40!

And don’t pay for her daughters dinner either

This.

I would spell it out to her. Does she have form for being a CF?

£160 split between 4 people = £40 each. That's it. Friend and her DD can either come with you or stay home. Her choice. Not your problem OP

Has she answered yet?

Make sure she doesn’t want you to cover her DD’s food too.

No response yet?

Ultimate cheeky fuckerage. Stick to your guns OP. £40 each for you and the friend you are sharing with. Anything else is nonsense.

If she hasn’t responded yet then my cynical said makes me thinks she knows you have her bang to rights for being a piss taker

And is she planning to split all other costs three ways? Food and drink?

I wouldn't dream of asking friends to pay the share of my daughters or grandchildren's portions if they came along on a trip!

She needs to pay for her own daughter.

You are only sleeping in one room so pay half towards that. What does your friend you are sharing with think?
Sometimes I wonder how people think and why would she think that’s ok.
I hope the meals will be split 4 ways.
I wouldn’t want to go away with somebody’s 14 year old anyway.

So her daughter will be sitting on her mother's lap during the show, eating off her plate for all meals........

Is she wanting you to pay part of her daughter's theatre ticket too? And dinner?

Crotch Goblin 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant! 👌
I know a few of those and am not ashamed to say I will definitely be adding to my vocabulary .. 😆

OP... Definitely £40 pp ... I actually don’t think I know anyone who would think it acceptable for other people to cover costs of their kids!
