[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.

If the kids were of different sex, then I can see the two additional rooms. But if they were all boys/girls, at least the other three kids could have shared  one room.

OP - I see a lot of lessons learned here,  I’m sure that the parents of the one kid that paid were surprised that he was charged full price for a room and that you were going to have  their 16yo kid stay in a room alone -.

I’m curious, if the other kids had offered to pay for their own rooms,  would you have gotten them each their own?

If the parents of that kid were surprised, they should have told him he had to share a room. There's no way OP is at more fault than anyone else here.

I did wonder if the boys (other than that one) told their parents they'd all share a room and took advantage of OP I having her pay for the other room, but even if that's the case, the parents should know and those boys should pay their parents back. It's still not only OP who is wrong here.

Also if some parent truly couldn't afford it, they should have been up front asking OP for a favor and seen whether their son could sleep on the floor in OP's room or something.[/quote]
