Paying for children’s children on vacation is over!

Marine is tired of paying the children of others on vacation. During a recent group escape, he found himself incurring the costs of the Marmaillele. Daronne Decipherars …

Daronne is the Queen of the Council not if against a large dose of more or less thin humor. Here he returned to fly to the help of a reader!

The question for Daronne

Dear Daronne,

Last year we rented a cottage with my boyfriend’s friends, to several families, for the eve of New Year’s Eve. When it was necessary to distribute the rental price, instead of dividing the price for the number of employed beds, the one he had booked decided to divide by family … which was more expensive for us than a comfortable hotel night!

When my partner made an observation in the conversation, nobody reacted. The friend in question ended up calling him and told him that dividing the total price for the number of busy beds would be expensive … yet I imagine that if he took a family room at the hotel, he does not ask to pay the price of a double room claiming that the family rate is expensive !! Finally, he counted 0.5 odds per child (included for a child) and did not insist.

In short, I don’t understand why those who have no children should pay for the children of others … When I raised the question with other friends, I learned that unfortunately it was often the case, even within their family.

The topic is delicate, especially because they are my boyfriend’s friends … Nobody likes to be deceived and even less from his loved ones. Pay food from the children of others, it still goes, but a rental represents a high budget …

What do you recommend?

THANK YOU,

Navy

Daronne’s answer

My little backpack,

Certainly, with this inflation and the holidays that come, the question of subspt (and of the children of others) is really at the center of your concerns. I don’t judge, I happened to pay my shopping with five cents. Lately.

What I find only a sin is that every time an accident occurs like what you are only lives, you wonder if it is a general rule. As if I had forgotten that before being populated by parents (or heads or neighbors or in -laws), the world was particularly populated by people ready to do anything to pamper the small sea urchins that stay in the pocket.

I am convinced that even when he did not yet have children, the dear gentleman of your letter (if proven that he is wrong, I did not do much for their respective demonstrations) found all the possible combinations to spend as little as possible. It was probably already this type of type that was launched on the server: ” We will divide by 5, it will be easier! While he had chosen the tasting and wine menu, when the others had ordered a salad and flat water.

Which is clear: Becoming a parent does not change a mouse in Saint-Bernard.

Pay for the children of others, often the case?

To answer your question: no, in theory, people should not pay for the children of others. But yes, it is more complicated than that. See my Marshmallow, the children eat, but do not receive a salary and are not made to cook correctly. Believe my experience, yesterday my son sprayed my lasagna with egg shell explosions before exclaiming: ” Yum Yum! ». If I am in spite of everything to a party between adults, they will actually work all the chips open and whistle the apple juice initially planned completely for the pregnant girl, without having brought the minimum bottle of wine alone.

No, the children never participate in buffets and other aperities of the collective dinner, but my God, the one who eat! As if the beans were served at home, he didn’t satisfy them! Especially since then, I grant you, we have not always thought of making an additional quiche each.

In these cases, we can actually conclude that children eat free what great people, who are not their parents, have purchased waiting for all guests to participate in the party. I suppose that it is what your loved ones mean when they say they have to pay for the children of others. Apart from this particular case – But perhaps already difficult from tolerable for the arrival everything, who knows? – I don’t see in which other context the Doni ask their entourage to pay for their children.

This is for the general rule. This does not mean that no parent, ever, has abused the kindness of his peers to nourish, home and distract his Moufletti with the eye. I said above, being a parent does not prevent being a cricket. However, in these high -class moments, it is the rodent who is expressed, not the Daron.

Returning to the entourage that supports your observations, I don’t want to question his word in question. Having said that, we know how it goes when someone starts to moan, we join the fray happily. The embarrassing accident as inevitable as it is suddenly a daily fact that allows you to integrate.

How to distribute the expenses?

Thanks to your numerous letters regarding financial issues, I realize how much money is a sensitive and taboo topic. Okay, Okay, I didn’t wait for you to make it, but this does not invalidate my point. So please act upstream next time.

By accepting behaviors that do not adapt to you, even worse, refusing to face the question, you know that it will turn against you. Instead of complaining with complacent relatives, but who will not compensate for the costs generated, share your perplexity with the people concerned.

Picnics exploit this monetary omerta. They know that nobody dares to say anything. If someone had dared to one: ” Make Roger ruin, the accounts are not good! Instead of hoping that another puts his feet on the plate, you wouldn’t be there.

Before accepting anything, agree and book only when everyone is satisfied with the agreement found. As for the distribution methods, here’s what seems to me the most logical: a cottage is paid in the room and additional square meters can enter the calculation. I thought that leaving the first L, I never had to do the mathematics of my life again, but since it is necessary, I sacrifice me:

Admit to stay seven days and that there were three rooms, one larger than the other two of equal size. We also admit that the rent is 300 euros, because I would like to live in this world. It would do 100 euros per person, but the one that benefits from the largest room, for example could pay 120 euros and the other two 90.

As for the races, I offer a simple pro rata. While some of the members of the joyful team, in the collective caddy, chat things that will be alone to use, add the amount to their general contribution. This sum will be paid directly to the good soul that lent its credit card or slipped into the common pot.

And this is the job. I should have done medicines.

Stop going on vacation with friends, especially if they are Becchi

I already know that this summer I will receive a plethora of letters that will complain about the attitude of family members or their friends. Why are you inflicting it? You know that only three hours after your arrival, the breath of your childhood friend will attack your desire to die. Man is a punctual social animal. He needs to see his friends, but not too long, especially in a group.

As for you, I don’t know who you plan to leave for this summer, or even if you intend to leave this summer (I, no), but if it happens again, do not hesitate to amounts before it is too late. Maybe for your friend, this way of doing it is right. After my mathematical ability of the day, I don’t have the strength to make another calculation, so I don’t know. It doesn’t matter, what matters is that it doesn’t like you. If your friend refuses to discuss it and vice versa, stay there and everyone returns to your respective paths by wishing a good trip.

Come on, I leave you, I have to cancel a reservation

The bisect,
