So years ago I said to my daughter that when she turns 13 I would take her for a weekend to New York. Fast forward a few years and she is 13 and i can’t afford it just now, having taking her and ds away each year. She was fine with that and said she would wait. I am a single parent and take them away somewhere every year plus they do all their school trips. In 8 years their dad has took them away once.
Anyway her dad says he will take her ( he is remarried and both have high earning jobs), I said ok I really wanted to take her but if he can afford it then she shouldn’t miss out. He looked at prices at the time and said he could get something for around 400 and would I go half for her? Yes that’s fine. However he never booked it and text last week to say I am going to book New York for him, his wife and dd in December. Great I said how lovely. He booked it and said well you owe me £400. Tbh I was shocked as they have paid for a luxury weekend costing over 800 each and expect me to pay 400. I said yes originally as the cost would have been about 200 for her not 400. He never checked just assumed. I am fuming! He could have took her at a cheaper time of year but he has booked the most expensive. I don’t have that money to hand and don’t see why I should double what I give him. Also in 8 years despite his money going up he has never given me a penny more, he has the kids for 2 nights a month so i literally pay for everything. Aibu to refuse to give him this amount???
