Going out in a bug group of people and splitting bills. What is your etiquette?

This doesn't include the tip and it is not about dating either. It is about when you go out with friends.

Do you think it is best to divide the bill evenly even if the attendees didn't consume the $ame?

Do you think it is fair that each person pays for what they ordered?

As a vegetarian who hardly drinks, having been for meals with people who had steaks and bottles of wine and wanted to split the bill evenly.. hahaha not a chance!!!

If me and my friends all eat similar things we’ll split evenly though

If we split I will pay for what I ordered but most of the time I pay and she pays the next time

Usually split it evenly but I do think in situations like above where one person or couple isn’t drinking and the other is ordering bottles of wine, cocktails etc it would be unfair. In that situation we’d probably do a separate bill for drinks and pay our own.

It depends on the restaurant and how big a cost difference.
Most of the time split by what you ate.

There's a brunch place we go with my husband's siblings at least once a month and all the meals are $10-14 and we all get a specialty coffee. We usually just split by number of people there because even if both other couples got $14 meals and he and I got $10 ones we'd be paying about $5 more than our share. And there would definitely be times it went the other way ( though most of the time we get 3 sets of the two best things on their rotating menu) so everyone is cool with it, plus its family so slightly different than friends. But thats one of the few times we split evenly.

Only pay for what u consumed. It's not right for some who are a $4 meal to pay half if the other person ate a $10 meal

I like the Wagamamas app that lets you split easily ♥️

I say pay for what you eat, then you all split the tip

Husband finds me unattractive

Husband told me he finds me unattractive that I constantly complain about the pain I’m in while being pregnant.. a shame that I have to worry about my partner finding me unattractive over the struggles of pregnancy.

Linkedin job title

I'm wondering if anyone here as a stay-at-home mom has put on their LinkedIn "stay at home mom" or something witty like a "children's managerial expert", "children's personal assistant" or "toddler supervisor"
I'm hoping to go back to work in 3 years time when my son goes to school, but I don't want it to look like I've done nothing in that time

If you are decorating/helping host your sister in laws bridal shower should you bring a gift for her?

I feel like I’ve already spent so much time putting together the arch & other decor & brainstorming ideas, not to mention I will be putting her wedding bouquet & arch together along with getting her ready day of wedding. I just don’t want to spend more money than I already have 😩
