To not expect to pay excessive amount as we're family.

In laws brought themselves a caravan on a haven site a year ago. Decided to spend some pension money on it.
the site fees have renewed and have gone up just like everything else in life.
They don't rent it out and we only use it as family.
Anyway father in law has just charged his own son £75 for 3 nights to use it. He owed me money for ordering him a new tablet and doing him a favour so took the money out of that which I couldn't afford to lose.

Before the season started he mentioned charging £25 a day but nothing else happened and no mention of it again before we went.

He's also charged brother in law £150 to use but they paid upfront.

Am i being unreasonable to feel this is a lot to charge your own children and £10 or so a day would be sufficient. I'm not convinced I spend £25 a day heating and lighting my 3 bed home. They get their passes included with the caravan for 10 people.

Husband won't challenge it because it won't make any difference.

Of course it's ok to charge.

£25 a night is really cheap.

£175 for a weeks holiday inclusive of passes for entertainment.

Do they want to adopt me?

Exactly
They have to cover their costs!!!!

That's so cheap I wish I had a family member offering me haven for £25 a day or even £50

Stop being so greedy!
