He should have been more careful with his money

It's her or the iPad

It doesn't seem fair

They are different situations

Hosting a party at your house is no small potatoes . It requires a lot of cleaning and preparation, being a little nervous about people spilling, and having to be the last one there. Hosting can take it out of you. This is why we usually reserve it for special occasions.
