Taxi costs split - who should pay

[Airspice]

Just wondering if I’m being an arse for thinking this so would like opinions!

Going on holiday soon with a good friend and my two teens (ds14, dd16) 2 week package longhaul, can’t wait.

We were discussing costs/kitty etc the other day and she said that we’d need to get taxis round and about quite a bit (she’s been several times before so knows the score) and we can just split the cost 4 ways and I pay 3 lots and she’ll pay 1. I was a bit surprised, I fully expect when we go for dinner, trips etc to pay for me and the kids but for taxis I would have just split it between me and her, if it was her with the kids I would never have suggested a 4 way split for taxis.

YABU - there’s 4 of you, so split 4 ways, she shouldn’t have to pay for your kids taxi
YANBU - that’s tight, it should just be split between the adults

What's wrong with being blunt and outspoken?

50/50 on taxis, unless you have to get an Uber XL because there’s more of you. Maybe you could pay more then to recognise that a larger car was needed. As long as you’re not expecting her to subsidise you for meals then I think she’s being a bit of a free loader. She wants to pay for 25% of a taxi! It would be 100% if it was just her and 50% if it was just you and her. You need to explain it like that (or get two separate taxis) 🤷‍♀️

It’s different because the under twenties aren’t paying. The only relevant people here are the two adults.

What?!

It isn't just her, or just her and the OP.

Two teenagers are taking up space in the taxi and getting the benefit of transport, which their mother should pay for.

@GreenYellowBrown

There are four passengers. OP needs to pay for three of them.

I would think the taxi situation to be 50/50. But all other expenses 75/25.

But before you get into the bare bones of it all, how many taxis and at what cost do you think you will be taking?

Provided you can all sit the in the same taxi (some won't take front passengers so you wouldn't) and therefore it's the same cost, she's an arse.

Taxi 50/50 and food and drink just pay for yourselves with op paying for her children.
