How would you split the holiday?

[Mumstheword8]

So basically I have booked a holiday with my son (5), my dad and my dad's wife. We have got two rooms and also a free child place. How would you split the cost? Would you split per room so basically half the holiday each or per adult which is the holiday split into 3 as the child place was free?

My dad would probably foot the bill for the lot

My mum would too, but we don't know the financial positions of anyone in this situation, and even they could afford to, doesn't mean they have to.

I'd have a look at the costs breakdown on your booking confirmation.

I'd also see how much the same holiday would be for two then three adults without a child place.

I think the problem partly is that your free child place relies on them so it is very difficult to know exactly what the split should be.

In theory it should be an easy one but I get the impression it isnt so much with your SM.

If so price up their holiday (should be easy to do online) and then send that through to them as what it would be without you going. Or offer a 60/40 split which means you are taking some of the cost because they are giving you a free child place

OP. If possible to cancel then that is what I would do.
Haven are doing breaks for 49 quid at the moment. You can't guarantee thw weather but they usually have loads for little kids.
Your 5 year old will not be scared for life because of not getting a holiday abroad.
You would have to access your own food but at that price you could probably afford to take him a couple of times to different places. He will have a wonderful time.

People can keep arguing this, saying calculate what it would have could have cost but that's all irrelevant as holiday costs are decided by the company .. general consensus is -fairest way
OP pays 40%
DF and SM pay 60%

Or that the adults pay their 1/3 share each

It doesn't matter what holiday would have could have cost in a multiple different scenarios. SM is wrong. The holiday firm decided, (& it's a black arts of calculation individually made for each package!) that they are charging for the 3 adults only. And the child goes free. You can adjust it slightly re if using that in a different holiday package it might have cost them slightly less , hence the 40% Suggestion but that's generosity at your choice OP.

If SM refuses to pay their share, and insists they pay less at only half of total holiday cost then cancel this holiday or swop their places for your mum and a friend or her partner of if you want.

What selfish SM and father would try to make their single mum of daughter with her six year old, subsidise their holiday costs? when they know she can't afford it? They should pay their own way.

How did your dad respond to your text you sent couple days ago OP?

For an all inclusive it should be per adult.
And you're a single parent, presumably on less money than them, I think they're being a bit shitty. You're getting far less value for your money than them.

But if they pay 2/3 of the cost, they are, in effect, subsidising the OP's holiday costs, as they most likely are paying more than the cost of their own way had everyone booked separately. Many parents will be happy to do this, but it doesn't mean they are selfish if they don't.

If they split it 50/50, then everyone is getting a reduction on their costs, including the OP.

Did you resolve this op

Op I feel so sorry for you.
I can't believe people are quibbling over the fact that it's not fair that ops df and sm might be in danger of slightly subsidising her holiday....

My dm passed away before she knew her gc.
What is wrong with people.

Maybe they dislike the child And want to put you off?
I just couldn't go And would feel unwanted.

Many people can't have dc, die before they meet their gc. There's a super precious person here looking forward to a holiday with his family but they are scared his mum might be slightly getting her holiday for cheap?

There is no way a mum' would think like this.

Cancel and let them go alone.
You have quite a few options for that price op for a really wonderful holiday sonehere elsewhere

Op cancel.

It's sm.

Either your dad stand's up for you or he doesn't.
I can't believe you're paying for this up front.

I would say I don't want to Go the quibbling over the price has put you off.
