This much you already know: Many Americans are alone, friendless, isolated, undersexed, sick of online dating, glued to their couches, and transfixed by their phones, their mouths starting to close over from lack of use. Our national loneliness is an “urgent public health issue,” according to the surgeon general. The time we spend socializing in person has plummeted in the past decade, and anxiety and hopelessness have increased. Roughly one in eight Americans reports having no friends; the rest of us, according to my colleague Olga Khazan, never see our friends, stymied by the logistics of scheduling in a world that has become much more frenetic and much less organized around religion and civic clubs. “You can’t,” she writes, “just show up on a Sunday and find a few hundred of your friends in the same building.” https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2025/01/throw-more-parties-loneliness/681203/
半个马和甲 发表于 2025-01-05 00:50 我host in law 一家花了差不多1000刀(total of 9). in law , 不能吃的太差吧。于是前菜两个,主菜三个,甜品一个。 嗯。其实真的已经很便宜了。每个人大概10几刀。但因为是一个人(我们家) 付的,就还是很贵啊。还好,后来盘子大家各洗各的。

现在真的好贵! 昨天 teenagers的孩子晚上训练,回家路上饿了,我说你晚饭吃了才2个小时就又饿了?他说他运动多了就饿, drive through麦当劳,一个big mac,一个薯条,四个小chicken nugget, 再一杯甜品, 19多刀!!!!! 连孩子都说,现在这些快餐越来越贵!
路上就吃完了,问他吃饱了么,他说,我回家再吃包方便面吧。我懊恼了一路,孩子连个麦当劳都没多舍得点。
undersexed???? how define this? please
茶叶蛋,也要鸡蛋啊,我们这超市的鸡蛋都要限购了, 一家只能买两盒。十几个大人party的话, 茶叶蛋 也管不了够啊
对,要么大家出去吃餐馆,AA费用, 要么就算了。 在家搞party真的又累又花钱,每人都带点菜那种聚餐吧, 真的见多了,有的朋友光材料就上百刀很用心的,有的就是马马虎虎糊弄别人,又不想花钱又不想花自己时间,简直就是占朋友便宜来的!
说说第一手吧,刚在家party了,四五家朋友couples+孩子们,还有两家父母也在,也一起叫来了,新年图个热闹吧。 我们家host,也没要求朋友带什么,不过大家也都带了些伴手礼。
我们自家准备时间,从party前两三天就开始买菜买材料准备了。时间上的投入就不说了。算上酒水,最后全算下来我们家花了500多刀,真的没什么太硬的菜!日本店买的寿司什么的,一小盒就10刀多,10盒,大人还没怎么开吃, 小孩子们边看电视边当零食就吃光了,哈哈。人多,需要准备的饭菜真挺多的。
我老公说,这是最后一次了,主要是太累了,钱倒是其次。
但钱也真没少花。
现在去朋友家party 多少标准比较合适? 就是如果是couple是两人+两个teenagers去的话,一人按吃多少钱,给host带礼物比较合适? 一人算25刀,送100刀的礼物? 如果只是couples俩人,就50刀? 小小孩不算钱。
25刀一位,真的是decent friends范围里最低的了吧。 一个人出去吃个麦当劳还要20刀,还吃不饱呢!
以后想聚会,就大家几家人去餐厅。最后结账就按家庭为单位。这样即social了,身体和精神上也都不会很累。
是这样的,但现在外面餐馆太贵了, 点菜点什么菜容易难协调, 慢慢大家都不聚了。
其实大家发现没有,现在微信上祝福元旦什么的群发都基本上没有了,都懒的了
我一般都会带些吃的玩的。host family已经贡献很多了
吃快餐,要用app,会便宜些。
就是美元越来越不经花, 大家变得越来越抠门了,就是这样,除了家人,花在谁身上,都不值得。这是实话
我家也经常在训练后drive through麦当劳
你下载它家的app,每次去drive through前就点好,起码可以用上一个八折coupon
teenager就是这样啊,长身体,时刻处于饥饿状态。 千万别大惊小怪!
从来play date我都不问,会让娃带新鲜的水果去的。
我host in law 一家花了差不多1000刀(total of 9). in law , 不能吃的太差吧。于是前菜两个,主菜三个,甜品一个。
嗯。其实真的已经很便宜了。每个人大概10几刀。但因为是一个人(我们家) 付的,就还是很贵啊。还好,后来盘子大家各洗各的。
是吃的贵了。以前吃的不值钱。
20块有点夸张了,能买4个巨无霸
这种规模一般都是potluck ,要求自带菜,你的压力就小很多。
1000刀,9个人,难道不是每人100左右吗?
😯😯😯😯😯. 你是对的。 我要去冷静下! 我竟然每个人花了100刀当成10刀。 (ORZ。)
你点的花样太多,如果直接买big mac 19刀可以买三个,能吃饱了吧。买chicken nugget是小孩不饿随便当零食的玩意。还要甜品,除了菜店 任何餐馆快餐买甜品或者饮料都是不划算的。
接送小孩,如果家里有一个人在,可以准备土豆炖牛肉,两磅牛肉炖一锅成本也就19快钱。
没用麦当劳的app? 😄
层主,买sushi看看附件有没有那种可以提供很大拼盘的那种,不要买小盒子。大party那种很大的组合套餐至少比你单买便宜几十块。
