[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m sorry, but I do think there may be genuine confusion. That said, there’s also a genuine lack of consideration on most of their parts!

If my cousin reached out and said, “I’m booking a beach house, want to see if you can make it the week of X,” my assumption would be that he is booking the house no matter if I’m also coming or not. So in other words, $6K is what he is spending already.

That said, OF COURSE I would be like, “how much can I contribute,” but I might feel like it was a contribution, rather than a cost-share, we’ll parse out payments per room, etc., because of the way it was phrased.

Next time, there is no excuse not to simply and clearly state everything up front. “If people are free these dates and can commit to cost-sharing on this $6K rental, I would be happy to put down the deposit, and we can figure out the per-family payment breakdown and room assignments later.”

Your family is being kind of clueless, but you were absolutely the primary contributing factor to the confusion. [/quote]
You are a freeloader. Are you the type of person where family treats you to dinner and you offer to pay the tip?[/quote]

Ha! That PP sure is a free loader. Every family seems to have one.

Avoid them at all costs. [/quote]
