I (25 f) was asked to go on a family trip with my mom (55 f), aunt S(58 f), cousin K(32 f), other cousin A (37 f), with cousin A’s two girls (14 f and 12 f) and their friend M (14 f). Cousin K would also be bringing her daughter (4 f).
Cousin A brought up the idea of a family girl’s trip and we all agreed that we wanted to go. Destination wasn’t set in stone, but was looking around Seaside, FL and along the gulf coast. Open to cheaper places, like Gulf Shores, AL.
My cousin A found a place that would accommodate all 9 of us for a week that had multiple beds and bathrooms. She then shared via text that the total was $2200. I texted back saying that $250/person would not be bad at all. She then replied and said that only adults would be the ones paying, meaning that we would be paying almost $450/person.
She then shared that she could not pay $250/person because that would mean she would be paying $1,000 for her, both of her daughters, and her daughters friend.
I texted back saying that if we split it like that, I’ll just have to sit this trip out and left it at that.
I cannot afford to pay for other’s kids/guests. AITA for speaking up and not agreeing to pay double for 4 more people to go?
Side note - Cousin K was fine with paying for her child’s part.
