Every year before the Chinese New Year, my 4 girlfriends and I have to get together, because we all have relatives to leave during the Spring Festival, so there is no time to get together.
All five of us are between the ages of 52 and 58, so I'll call them ABCD for now. AB and I had a son, and CD2 had a daughter. Except for D's daughter, who is not married, the rest of our four children are married.
When a few of my girlfriends are together, it is inevitable that they will ask each other about the situation of their children, but every time they get together, most of them complain about their children or daughters-in-law and sons-in-law.
And there is a surprising unanimity, that is, whether it is a child, a son-in-law, or a daughter-in-law, they will only bring their mouths and hands when they come home for the New Year, and they will not help us do a little housework.
Best friend D said that her daughter loves beauty very much, and every time she goes home, she has to get a manicure, and her kind of nail art usually costs hundreds of yuan. Best friend D often talks about her daughter, and her daughter says: "I usually don't allow me to do nail art, so what's wrong with me when I go home on vacation?"
Girlfriend D thinks that her family is just an ordinary family, and doing such an expensive manicure is not what ordinary people should be, and she can't do any housework with such long nails, and she will even scratch her clothes.
The two best friends, A and B, also echoed that their daughter-in-law also did nail art, and B thought that the daughter-in-law did it on purpose, just to avoid doing housework. My daughter-in-law also does it regularly, but the nails are not that long.
I had been working in a shopping mall until I retired, and the mall I managed also had one or two nail salons, and every year during the Chinese New Year, which was the peak season for nail salons, they would raise the price, usually twice as much, and they had to make an appointment in advance. I know that the most expensive nail art in our mall should be more than 1,000 yuan, and it usually takes four or five hours or even longer to do a nail art like this high-priced one.
Some young people, let them work for four or five hours, they will definitely be impatient, but do manicures and sit there motionless for hours, they are willing, the key is to spend such an expensive money, I really don't understand these young people.
Girlfriend A and girlfriend B said that their daughter-in-law's nails would also be set with diamonds. As soon as A's girlfriend talked about her daughter-in-law, she came to the fire, saying that she had done such sharp and long nails, and she had scratched her little grandson's face, but she still had to do it, and it would be a disaster to poke her grandson's eyes one day.
Girlfriend B said that such an expensive manicure must not be for housework, so they are all waiting for the meal. He even waited for the dishes and chopsticks to be set up for them to come. It's just looking at their phones all day long, or just to show off their nails, holding a cup of tea in their hands, and it's very angry to talk about it.
Nowadays, there are endless patterns of nail art, and the price is ridiculously high. Someone exposed on the Internet that the highest nail art price in Zhejiang was 9,999 yuan, and some people posted 3,000 yuan nail art. Yes, noble, beautiful.
1. You have to have money, have an economic foundation, do a nail art can easily cost hundreds of yuan, a better one is a few hundred yuan or even thousands of yuan, the average young girl's monthly salary of 5 or 6 thousand, it is a problem to support yourself, let alone let them save money.
2. You don't need to do housework, there is a nanny at home to serve people, but you get a salary of 5 or 6,000 yuan, and the old mother cooks for you. What qualifications do you have for such an expensive manicure, and your conscience won't hurt?
We all envy best friend C, her daughter MD, the youngest deputy chief doctor in Xiangya, who never does nail art, has a successful career, a harmonious family, and a son-in-law who is also very good.
It's that ordinary girls care too much about these external things.
Several of our girlfriends never do nail art, we all have good careers, 3 of us have an annual income of 7 figures, but our three children are average.
Women who care too much about the appearance either make money with their appearance, or they are troubled by vanity.
Friends, what do you think? Would you disagree with your son's marriage because your future daughter-in-law did an exaggerated manicure? Welcome to the comment area to discuss. #我来唠家常##记录我的2024##退休多彩生活#
