Caravan holiday

[teenagedirtbag1990]

3 adults

caravan was £286 for 4 nights
food 93.00
petrol £60.00 hybrid cars

yet one mate feels she should only afford her share of food at £31.00

I paid straight out for caravan but expected all food to be paid for by her “let’s say B -

A - me paid for caravan expected to - have food petrol paid for
C paid for fuel and £31 towards food and also all the bits you need for caravan such as loo roll kitchen roll, coffee tea sugar basics
B - decided to give me £30 for food alone

C doesn’t want to make an issue of it!

AIBU expecting B to pay for all food
AINBU fair share so A caravan, C essentials plus petrol and B food

Did you discuss your expectations? TBH I think this all depends on context-

a) would you like to come and stay for a few days with me in my/ my family caravan- I’d read that as an invitation and wouldn’t expect to pay, but I would definitely treat you to a meal;
b) hi girls, I’ve been looking into that break- there’s a caravan we could rent next to this lovely beach, the price is about £300 for the three of us so that’s £100 each – I would expect to be splitting the cost between three of us.

So all depends on what was said beforehand and the context.

Personally, after having a few few close shaves and reading some of the horror stories here, I absolutely refuse to go on holiday these days with anyone and pay for them in advance, unless they’re paying me the money beforehand I’m not going anywhere with them. That avoids situations like this.

@teenagedirtbag1990 total the whole amount and divide equally. Tell friend her total cost is X, minus what she’s paid. Give her payment to whoever is owed it.

What @Heronwatcher said.

It depends on who is who, the context, and what was agreed beforehand.

Why did you not all agree to split total costs of the holiday by 3 before booking?

She is very unreasonable but how has it got to the stage that everything is paid for and she is now not paying up?
