my daugher, who is 24, to go to a comedy concert. The tickets were $50 a peice and we reserved a very nice room for the night to be split 4 ways. My daughter bailed at 5:00 the night before. So my sister brought another friend of hers that couldn't afford anything but a few drinks and her own dinner. My sister paid for her ticket plus this other girl's and since I am the only one with credit card, I had to pay for this other girls 1/4 of the room. I have talked to the other girl and she makes decortive outside things and I would take those in trade and she said fine since it is hard for her to get money. My sister says I'm being unreasonable and shouldn't ask her for anything since the trip was sprung on her and my daughter bailed. I said my daughter is 24 and not a child and if you want money, you get it. She doesn't live here and has a good job. And/or should have asked someone that could have afforded to go. What is your opionion? Thanks Everyone!

If you have already talked with the girl, then by all means it sounds like a fair trade. People who see your yard might ask who made the decorative stuff and buy some, ya never know.
Sorry, your sister is out of line on this. Its between you and the girl.

it should have been agreed upon before she came along. If it was me, I would have said I can't really afford to go and stay in the hotel.
While I wouldn't necessarily take anything from the lady with no money...she should offer something to repay you for your generosity.
Since your daughter bailed and it would be difficult to find another person on such short notice, I think your daughter should pay for the room as she had agree prior.

The person who bailed (daughter) should have put up at LEAST half of the cost, basically the penalty that the hotel would have done had she canceled a room with the hotel.
I don't think the person invited at the last minute should pay.

If you and the decorative chick have already made an agreement, let it stand. Your friend is wrong. You had to pay for her part of the room, so it's more than fair for you to ask for re-payment. She got a free ticket, right? Your friend should have asked someone who could afford to pay her own way or SHE should have paid for her friend's half of the room!

ok it really is sweet that you requested your twin, I actually have one too, and If i presumed something like that develop into going on i'd completely tell her, so that you want to certain the way you sense about the mission and provides her your motives too. yet do not bypass asking human beings in case you imagine X is a lesbian! Do you recognize the way surely that would want to spread a rumor! real or no longer, i'm certain X would get very embarrassed with the help of it.

i think your daughter should've paid for her portion of the room since it was already planned & either your sister or her friend should've paid her back.
