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]

The OP is not the same person who went to the aquarium.[/quote]

In any case, why would being able to afford a hotel or aquarium mean others are entitled to your money?[/quote]

OP here,

I'm not the one who wrote about taking kids to the aquarium, but I am curious about this too.   I also don't have a "big car" like someone posted.  I borrowed one from a relative.

But I am very curious about the "she must be rich" line of thinking.  If people feel that asking for reimbursement would or wouldn't be OK based on incomes, what would be the guidance?  Is it absolute (e.g. if you are above X threshold) or relative (e.g. if I make more than the people I'm asking).

I have made my decision, so now I'm just really curious about how some of you are thinking about this.  [/quote]

I posted way back and said to not ask for money now. This should have been done before you went and a lesson learned for you.  I feel even more strongly in that decision that you booked 3 rooms.  That was over the top for this and on you.  Boys could share a bed or sleep on the floor or their one parents could take them.  Having their own bed was not your problem to solve and now you ask for $$$$.  Especially when your kid joined in on the hotel teen sleepover party that you hosted.  [/quote]

The strange thing was she needed her own room.  Her son should have shared with her and the other three kids share the other room.  Problem solved.[/quote]
