[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Shocked at the responses - calling my family trash, etc. I was just looking for a way to equitably divide costs - and never thought for a second anyone of my beloved cousins would refuse to pay if I sent them a message letting them know how much they owe.
The cousin who reached out paid for half the house. I decided not even to ask the others. They are all generous and would always help my family in any time of need so I feel like being generous back. I just wasn't sure if it was ok with my husband - but he was fine with it. End of thinking about it. In the future, though, I would ask upfront how everyone should split the costs. [/quote]

Way to screw your generous cousin. [/quote]

This X 1000. I would text them a big thank you for being proactive as you haven’t heard from anyone else. I’d also confirm whether they are comfortable with you and them splitting it and treating the rest. You don’t want to create a weird situation where another one pays you back later and now what do you do. You don’t want to the generous cousin to feel taken advantage of and you don’t want to set a precedent in the future..

If you and your cousin do indeed decide to treat the horde, then text the horde back in the group chat so at least anyone with an ounce of manners can thank the generous cousin too. [/quote]
