My teen daughter went on vacation with family friends now Im stuck with a bill

A mom writing on Reddit shared an unusual experience.She said her daughter was invited to join a friend on a family vacation to Costa Rica — but when her daughter returned, the mom was presented with a bill for the travel expenses from the other family. The confused mother turned to social media to find out whether her shock over the situation was warranted.On the social media platform, the mother wrote, “OK, so my daughter (16) went to Costa Rica with a friend and her parents & grandparents.

I assumed they would only charge us for her food and activities like ziplining.Nope.

They are asking for a portion of her accommodations and car rental as well.”Bewildered, the mother wondered on Reddit whether being invited meant that the basic costs of the trip were going to be covered by the parents of her friend. The mom wrote, “Why on earth did I assume she was tagging along?” She went on to share that she’s hosted other people’s children in a similar way — and thought that was the protocol. “That’s what we did for my other daughter’s friend two years ago,” the mother continued. The mom appeared surprised by the hefty bill of charges she was presented with from the other family. “I would never dream of charging so much when I was going [on a trip] anyway!”Rather than cause a stir, the mother said she’s likely going to pay the tab to smooth things over and be done with it. “We have the money, so this [isn’t going to] break me,” she wrote.She said she wanted to handle the matter peacefully with the parents of her daughter’s friend.“I just want to have a conversation,” added the diplomatic mom.The Reddit community sounded off about her quandary.A commenter named “Illustrious-Award-55” said it was not usual to be presented with a bill, but agreed with the mother’s decision to step up. “I think it’s weird to do that after the fact,” the person wrote.  Stay up on the very latest with Evening Upd...
