[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the majority of the posters. Now, it would feel really weird to chase down people now and ask, “Hey, remember that fun trip your kid went on? That’ll be $102.50, thanks.”

What do you estimate are your additional costs? Don't count gas because that expense would've been the same. It sounds like kids brought money for food but some didn't have enough. Cash can be hard to estimate but I'm surprised they didn't have some electronic form of payment. You said one kid gave you money for the hotel. It sounds like you had your own room and 4 kids slept together in second room. Is that right? How much hotel money did the one kid give you for hotel and what was the cost of the second room?

I borrowed a bigger car from a relative to fit the kids, so my gas price did go up, although what the one kid paid for covered most of that difference.   I'm not saying I need every cent paid for.  But it was an area where hotel rooms are over $200 a night.  For my family, that's a lot.  Perhaps not for their families.

I have no idea how much money the kids had, because they used their phones.  Breakfast was included in the hotel.  Lunch was included in the camp that their parents had paid for.  When we stopped at rest stops, they paid for themselves.  The night between the two days, we went to a sit down restaurant together, and I paid because splitting the check between multiple apple pays seemed complicated. I'm happy to cover that.  It's really the hotel room that bugs me, because it was clearly an expense I wouldn't have had, and one that the parents know about.

I will also say that I have no idea what the parents know.  It's possible that they think their kid apple paid me or something.  [/quote]
