A friend seems to think that only adults count per head when paying in restaurants. Her 2 are soon to be 9 and 11 and eat more than I do from the adult menu. AIBU to think that the split doesn’t only include adults?

And while we’re on the subject as Spring is getting closer we’ve been discussing trips/outings. A friend of a friend has joined us a few times and more than once has expected others to cover admission fees for her children because “They’re only children”

I don’t have children yet and I’m happy to buy the odd treat for kids l, an ice cream or sweets or similar but I draw the line at regularly covering costs.

AIBU?

Her kids she pays for what they eat get seperate bills and dont the split bill euqally when it arrives just pay for what you have eaten. I know of a friend who dosent eat much who went out with a group her total 20.00 was asked to pay 50.00 because the others decided to split bill between number of people so she put her money on the table for what she had and walked off
