[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you not discuss this ahead of time? You were wrong not to, and the other kids’ parents were wrong not to offer. If you need the money, ask, if not chalk it up to a life experience. How many rooms were there? It’s a little dodgier if they weren’t all in your room or the room the other kid paid for.[/quote]

15 - 17 year olds.  The two kids who didn’t pay shared a room.  My plan was that my kid would stay in my room, but the kid who paid offered him the other bed in his room.

Given this, yes, they should 100% cover their room.     The one kid who paid, and offered your DS the other bed in the room is the only one who has parents with manners.  The other two are losers.

How did this excursion come about?

I agree with pps.   The finances should have been decided up front.    Everyone knows the hotel cost at time of booking.  That is when you lets the kids know their share of the cost of rooms.  [/quote]

Camp registration was a few months ago.  I signed my kid up.  Months later, a few days before the camp, the kid who paid, who my kid knows, wrote in a team group chat, “is anyone going to this?  How are you getting there?”  My kid replied “Yes, my mom is driving do you need a ride?” Kid said yes.

All this was in the group chat, so the other two kids saw it and messaged “can we get rides too?”

Kid told me about this, said that they were nice kids (which I agree it was a good group).

So, I asked him to get parent contact, reached out to these parents and said I heard their kids going and might need a ride.  I linked the hotel where I already had a reservation, and said “we are staying here, it looks like I can get more rooms.  Just let me know.”  Price was clearly visible on the link I sent.

Parents replied “yes”.  I replied “I got the rooms . . . “ and went on with info about when and where we would meet.

I realize it is easy to overlook the letter S and I should have been more clear.   I would phrase it differently if I did it again.
