AIBU to let my children use all inclusive on a group holiday?

[AIvSC]

Against my better judgement I agreed to a group holiday. Mixture of family and friends all know each other well. All have children ranging from baby-16

My BIL organised it but we all booked separately.

He sent a link to an all inclusive resort and that's what I and half of the group booked.

BIL and the half booked the same hotel but self catering.

It was £600 more for AI- which as we are here for 8 days works out as less than £20 per person per day (four of us)

First night was fine as we all went out for dinner but today has been hell.

We have had a pool day and my kids have been able to get snacks/drinks/etc as they like but to purchase it all is quite expensive.

We've just come back from dinner- which was 'free' for us but not for them and were told it wasn't fair if our kids used the AI.

I asked why they didn't book the AI and they said they didn't like AI- but they were at dinner having the same food as us.

I don't want to be say to our kids that they can't use the AI but equally don't want to fall out. I enquired how much it would cost to upgrade to AI and it was 2200€ per family.

That's a lovely update OP. How boringly reasonable of him!

This is the most bat shit crazy thing ever !!! As if you’re going to tell your kids they can’t use AL why the hell would you and why is he only saying your kids shouldn’t use it and not you all as a family not that that’s right either but why just the kids ? I’m very confused . Anyway tell him to bugger right off he’s crazy

Why would OP tell him to bugger off?

Absolutely ridiculous. You paid for it you get it. If they’d wanted AI they should’ve paid for it. Tight arses. Ignore what he says and if he does pipe up again say kids are having what I paid extra for. And it’s his own stupid fault not having paid the cheaper price when booking as now it’s a much higher price to pay.

if he does pipe up again and you can understand what he’s saying while he’s got his AI burger stuffed in his gob yeah OP, sock it to him! You go girl!

You could even take his AI drink that he now has lots of because he already paid for the AI and pour it over his head if he gets shirty!

Oh! I understand now. Jesus, that’s as bad! They can definitely bugger right off 😆

What!?? They don't want you to get what you paid for because they didn't pay for the same? They're being ridiculous.

Not unreasonable at all. Poor planning on their side doesn't mean you shouldn't use the services you booked and paid for.

Folks, they’re all on AI now!

Of course you and your children should use the all inclusive as that’s what you’ve paid for.
How ridiculous of anyone to doubt/question this!

Absolutely not.

Well, I didn't expect to update again but my BIL called ME a fucknugget 😂

Turns out MN shared this on Facebook and he saw it. Thanks MN...

He does want me to be clear that he saw sense before he read this thread, but has been waiting to call me a fucknugget most of the day, and was wondering if I would get there first.

Apparently my face was a picture as I realised, but it was all good fun- although I am very pleased I name changed 😆

🤣😂🤣

Why would you even consider asking your kids not to use the all inclusive. You are being ridiculous. The others were too tight to pay for it and that is on them. They can bring their own snacks and drinks to the pool. Why should anyone else suffer? Wise up

Oh. God.

Why is it that so many people read the original post but none of the updates, and still confidently write a completely irrelevant comment?

And then if you say anything you get ‘oh well I don’t have time to read all 9368 pages, I have a job unlike you and don’t have time to sit here all day reading’.

That is hilarious!

Exactly this!

They could save themselves even more of their valuable time and just not bother reading any OPs or writing any comments.
Simples!

🤣

Whaaat?! No way! Crazy embarrassing!!

Possibly the best update ever. And he sounds like a great brother.

I'm glad you name changed too, keep a little bit of your MN life Private. I hate the way threads are taken and plastered all over Facebook or the daily mail.

I'm surprised you noticed because he said fuck nugget it's a very old term, used for years.

I hope you all continue to have a great holiday

omg 🤣

oh well he realised the error of his ways!

Pmsl at updates and bil calling you fucknugget

tho I take it in jest

this is the bad thing about posts going into fb. I don’t think they should be allowed to as can cause issues
