The one who is always single with great relationship advice😅
If you can't afford a party, don't have it. I won't invite people to my birthday and expect them to pay unless if they want extra things not catered for. I am also not expecting anyone to invite me to their birthday party and expect me to pay. It's giving living beyond your means I beg

Well said,it’s not a basic need to have a birthday party 🤷♀️
We all have that one friend who has insecurities when it comes to her man🤦🏽♀️
This is my favourite episode for very selfish reasons lol. I lost my best friend two weeks after I got engaged. My wedding is in August, and I have never really sat down to think about our friendship, until today. Y’alls friendship is so familiar, it’s a little scary. Reminds me of our friendship and absolutely put a smile on my face. Right now we would have been watching together and naming friends that fit in each of these categories 😂😂😂😂. She was the most beautiful soul I have ever met, and I kept hearing her commentary with each point, and it made me so happy. I am turning 30 in July, and I don’t think I have the heart to start over with anyone else. I am happy to live vicariously through you two :)

You can always say on the invitation “this is a self funded event” (if you want people to pay their own bills) 😊
Frenemies are the worst!!! From the passive aggressive behavior, the secret competition, sharing of stuff you’ve told them in secret to other groupies, lack of boundaries , not able to genuinely celebrate your wins yet you've always been there for them during all their wins, those who copy you but behave like they don't, and also will celebrate others for doing the same thing as you, just not you!!!

Paying or not paying for birthday: It depends on what you are accustomed to. Inviting people for birthday should be paid for by the person inviting, the expectation might be that atleast friends bring gifts. However, in my friendships, we usually agree to go for birthday dinners for each other and everyone pays for themselves. We all contribute to pay for cake and cater for birthday person’s bill.

I don’t mind people being themselves but in a restaurant, or other public services, there are some basic social courtesies. I am just trying to enjoy my soup without having to loudly hear about a stranger’s breakups, traumas, office gossip etc 😒
frenemies piss me off for sure,weird comments and those friends whom have nothing to say when i share my wins.

On the birthday thing, my thing is if its a party then you should cater for it i.e party in your house but I will still ask to be sure. If its a dinner I assume I am paying but I usually ask whether it is catered for just to be sure and budget. We should never be afraid to ask just because we're afraid of how we'll be perceived. As Just Ivy says, we are no longer afraid of speaking about money. If I can afford to cater for it then I will, otherwise the invitation will say come prepared to pay so that you can budget and decide whether you'll be able to attend or not. I guess its something normal with my friends as well so its not awkward or weird. Lets all try be open, not affording something is not a crime guys kwanza na hii economy heh SPEAK UP!.
That one friend who complains about everything/nothing... she had to go.😅 hooked already.
That one friend who always eats slowly and now we are left with no choice but wait for her,,,I'm always like gal finish up we got somewhere else to be like five minutes ago

As a person who currently resides in diaspora it’s just the culture here that ppl are expected to pay for their own food and drinks when invited to a restaurant for a birthday party/ personally I think it’s important that people know in advance that ..thy will pay for food and drinks or either….loved the episode ❤
In my opinion, if you decide to throw a birthday party, you should cater for it. The people you invite can bring you gifts. Its the same way when you invite someone on a date, you pay for the date. I feel the same way about weddings. I don't advocate for wedding committees. People can gift you money or even decide to contribute towards your wedding but it shouldn't be mandatory. If you can't afford to have a birthday party, wedding , ruracio etc, don't have it.
One should pay for the birthday party they have planned. If it is a suprise by your friends you won't spend even a dime if you are the one throwing it you should cater for it 100%
When I invite friends to my birthday party It's definitely paid for. I'd expect gifts which in essence could be in form of envelopes or wine or just something, don't come empty handed.
I always bring my wallet with me and assume I will be catering for myself and the birthday person at the very least. However, where I am, it is common for people to be completely straight forward on the invite if guests are expected to cater for themselves. It’s called a BYOP (Bring Your Own Pocket) event

We all have that friend who will always forget your birthday year after year even when u celebrate theirs and gift them every year.
We all have that one friend who makes us laugh in serious situations😂
For birthdays it’s simple, make it clear as Murugi says therefore this means that if you expect people to pay for their own food and drink, don’t expect a gift on top especially if it’s a high end restaurant. let the gift be a pleasant surprise just like you catering for everyone would be a pleasant surprise if u decide not to be clear in ur invite and as an adult you shouldn’t be going anywhere without money even if it’s been catered for.
That one friend who wants you to be successful but not successful more than them 😢..weh

We all have that friend who asks you for money but they don't want to pay back and when you ask them they get angry and remind you of the things they have done for you in the past. Girl you said your man is rich get money from him😢

Ebu tuache jokes btw... birthday si ni yako.Same as a graduation party. So please pretty girlie cater your own cost.. we'll come celebrate 😅
On the birthday issue, in my opinion it's perfectly okay to ask your invitees to contribute however much or however less depending on the plans at hand. If you can cater for all your guests that's absolutely great, but if you're not in that position you can definitely ask.
This episode was so fun for me...😂To be honest, it has really helped me evaluate who I am as a friend. If that makes sense . Good one, my Pisces human❤
I feel like if you are going to have a dinner you must pay for the food and atleast one drink(because alcohol is expensive people can buy themselves the rest). I mean you get to pick the time, the place of YOUR choice (most probably YOUR affordability) and sometimes the theme. That means your friends must make provisions for getting themselves there, buying you a gift, adhering to your theme basically making YOUR vision a reality and they are still expected to pay for their own meal? No ways. Food is honestly the bare minimum and if you cannot to fulfil your own vision then you shouldn’t place that financial burden on your friends. If they choose to help you then great but YOUR dinner, YOUR vision, YOUR money babes.
BIRTHDAY PARTY;- payment depends on parts.Eg. Out of town, you’re not expected to pay for transport to(by road😀) and food but pay for your room.

This epidode was so good, I've laughed so hard at the office 😂😂😂 About paying for a friend's birthday party, I don't mind it. However, I appreciate knowing beforehand if I'm paying or not. PS: I had a house party for my birthday last year and I asked people to bring drinks, but food was provided. So I think it's really important to manage people's expectations.
Food and drinks provided, or food provided, if it doesn’t say this then you know you are expected to pay.
I think it is okay to cut off friends who are always complaining about their partners who they are not willing to leave. Such friendships can be draining
This topic is so timely, I'm in the middle of cutting of fake friends l've decided I'd rather have 1 genuine friend than a bunch of people who pretend to be there for you, I recently lost my phone I've been in a tough situation for 3 months but only 1 friend was checking on me via my katululu, while the rest started engaging when I was back online, I felt it my time to analyze who's genuinely there for me.

Sorry for this. Been in the same situation too. Totally relatable. Sometimes we have to re-evaluate ourselves and pray to get genuine kind friends with good heart
For invitations for events where you want to guests to pay the recommended etiquette for wording is "This is a no host party" or "No Host Party" only included when you are not catering for your guests. If you are catering for your guest nothing is required.

You can put stuff like BYOB (buy your own bottle) or you can just include what'll be provided instead of what will not be provided on the invite. For example, snacks menu or drinks menu or food menu
1:03:06 you can just say ......food is catered for, drinks not inclusive on the invite😂😂😂

It's 10:46pm and I really want to go watch this episode with my friend tomorrow but am already 40min in I can't stop😭😭😭am trying guys I really am
I feel like about the birthday it's good to communicate like I'd fail to come to someones party if I don't have enough for the specific location but I'd tell the person yes but it's hard to but as the planner it's good to say this are your friends they know your financial capacity so they won't judge you for just saying you will be paying for your meals.
Haha on that matter of birthdays and paying, for us over here in Uganda; people usually add “everyone will cater for their food & drinks. Thanks. See you there😊” and then share the restaurant menu👏🏾😂 It should be okay to spend money celebrating your friend pls!👏🏾
Go to your house for privacy 😂😂 Lydiah 😂😂😂 I love it!
Hello lovely ladies, when it comes to birthday invitations here in the west, it's customary for guests to cover their own expenses. This was quite a shift for me as I'm accustomed to birthday celebrations being entirely hosted by the birthday person. Since they're your friends, perhaps you could inform them that the menu options range from $45 to $60 per person, etc. That's how I would handle it.

Unfortunately I am that kind of a friend...but that last part of not being available for them I can't relate
If it's someone's birthday,let them communicate the expectation so that we can prepare for it in advance
For birthday dinners, i would attach the invite with a menu for the restaurant/hotel. That way it will be self explanatory and friends can budget accordingly. If its a party, then i will cater for everything.
I now believe that the tea Lyd and Murugi share is hotttt 😂😂😂 you guys hadi mnaenda off the mic 😅🔥.. TMI to the world
Watching this episode, I am now wondering weather is it because I have few friends, or I choose very good quality friends because I cannot relate to most things. I enjoyed the episode so much!!!
Loved this episode!!! On the birthday bill thing I’d expect to pay for my own meal. Unless if it’s a buffet thing where I’m hosting at home or a place of my choice etc. if I’m financially able to, I’d want to also pay for the birthday girl. Weddings etc, I think that’s very different.
The Lydia one is legit scary, I always want to do it but nope not today. Ati'" hi guys' at java" wuehh ,anxiety would kill me.
❤❤😂😂 I so love the conversation🎉🎉
It's definitely TMI🎉my Wednesday highlight
That one friend saying hi to one k people on the road 😂😂 now we are all waiting and running late
I agree with Nancy have a party that you can afford.
If it would be my birthday, I would buy a cake and pay for the drinks, but everyone plays for what they eat
Love this episode ❤
One of my best episodes yet, I kept rewinding to hear the tea over and over .. ❤ tmi
😂😅 This is so fun to watch!
One of my inspirational girls is Lydia Kim I have really grown since I started listening to this podcast 😊😊

on the birthday paying point, i think by saying food and drinks on/not on the house is a bit better.
This friend after umepost like uko na birthday she be like ntakuja niadd Kwa group and they never show up😢drop them
I enjoyed this episode 😊💯 I feel like for birthdays,don’t have a party if you can’t afford it.. and also(unpopular opinion)yes I agree,the same for weddings.. if people want to have a committee let it be for the gifts. Wanipee hiyo mchango like a gift.
Less than 30minutes in🥳❤️❤️❤️always love your episodes. So insightful🥰

Love the conversation ladies . Love from uganda
If you "invite" people, you should pay! But if you say, can we get together at restaurant A, then everyone knows they're paying for themselves. Also there's no shame in asking people to "bring your own drink" to a lunch you're hosting.
You gals looks smart ... cute outfit...

Hey Girliiesss!Thank you for this episode really hits😂I lost my best friend around last year in October cause she didn't attend my graduation and i was planning the whole event with her.I was so disappointed and decided you know what I'm dropping her cause she had missed most of my events and was always making excuses when i invite her to things.I'm always wondering though did i make the right choice?!
I am that friend who rarely calls....😢😢😢 Yet I always feel guilty for not calling but don't know how to change this behavior.😢
My friend who invited me to her birthday last year did that personally and not via invite, and she made mention that drinks were covered but food wasn’t. She just said it and there was no big deal. Somehow I just know what party to budget for and what party not to and I’ve never been wrong😂
