Saying that, one time we went to a bar in Tapei, there are like 15 of us, the bill came to about 1k...the thing is that i don't drink, I had like 2 cokes but some were having cocktails, jugs of it. So paying £60-70 for a couple of cokes for me was quite a No No. I threw in a tenner worth of local currency, which is more than enough, and left them to divide the rest up.
Wouldn't matter. Not that I go out much these days but when I did we didn't even split bills someone would get it and the others would get it next time. Or if someone was skint someone else would pay. Never any discussion. But then I don't have any money and none of my friends are/were rich.
any and everything else "pay your own" Ms singleton cant and shouldnt be expected to contribute towards kids meals etc
should have announced at the end "ok so tonight were going to each pay our own" or "split the food down the middle but pay your own drinks" - even if only to see the look on his face
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Friends are friends because you can get away from them. Going on holiday even with people I really like would be hell.
You could offer to personally sub the single person and then stay at home alone for the week.
Perfect!

And how much time do you spend in the bedroom anyway when you're on holiday?
Unless it's a dirty weekend.
Personally, I'd just do what the Greeks do and chill-out. I don't think they'd even understand the issue ... it's just not in their psyche. They did conceive the concept of democracy after all and the principle of 'know thyself' (gnothi seauton).
Given that you're going on holiday to feel good, have fun, escape routine, be with friends and family, make lasting memories, then I'd say that to get the most out the experience you gotta leave all of the mental/psychological/emotional baggage behind ... start with an even keel and just take a day at a time. Surely no-one wants to return to Blighty more stressed than when they left and with nowt but bad memories?
The Greeks are amongst the most hospitable and friendly of people you'll encounter anywhere ... let them and their wonderful culture work their magic on all of you. When the kids are happily occupying the pool, the adults are sat supping cold ones and blethering, listening to music, sunbathing, organising outings etc. etc., I think the stated dilemma will disappear and no-one will care.
Life's too short and you said it yourself ... it really is a first world issue. Go enjoy your holiday with your kids ... live simple ... be harmonious and lead by example ... that's what they'll remember in years to come.
Best to you all.
Yia sas!
