Don’t assume someone else will pay [b]unless[/b] it’s is specifically said so, eg “it’s my treat”. If someone says, “I’ll take my kids to the aquarium, let me know if you and your kid want to join us”, does not also mean “and I’ll pay for you”. Always the default is you’ll have to pay your share. That’s just common sense. If you’re not sure on the intent and can’t afford it, politely decline.[/quote]

She’s wealthy.  Who takes teens to a $100 aquarium.  Most of these camos have housing.  [/quote]

Have you ever been to a museum, zoo  or aquarium? Outside of DC the tickets are at the minimum $20 and often $50, public transportation $10, snacks $10. Why are you shocked it costs $100 to take two kids out to a trip like this? I’m not surprised you expect OP to pack an inflatable mattress or sleep two athlete teenagers in one bed. The rest of the sane people would just make normal sleeping arrangements and expect to be reimbursed by the other parents. If you can’t afford it don’t send your kids to overnight trips. Or bring the mattress, sleep in the car if you’d like but don’t expect other parents to play along. [/quote]
