| As a 14 year old girl myself, I see this as ridiculous. I was raised with a very low income: $700 dollars a month, and $200 for food stamps (Thanks for the generosity Welfare). I've been homeschooled up until this year so we've had to balance the expenses of that with my personal needs/wants as a child. I've had to spend most of my life either not getting what I wanted, or earning it myself. Your child needs to understand that. What I suggest, is not buying her ANYTHING. No clothes, shoes, bedroom stuff, allowance (PSH I never got an allowance), magazines etc. Only food, and nessicary school things. She can figure out what to do. I starting a lemonade buisness when I was 8, lawn mowing buisness at age 10, and babysat at age 12 and still continue to do so. If she finds a shirt, or shoes she wants then she can get them herself. It's parcially your fault for even buying her the $100 shoes. My shoes always came from payless! I wanted a pair of TOMS this year and I saved 70 bucks and got them! This year for clothes for school, I saved up $400 over the summer and got practically a new wardrobe (Thanks for ROSS!) Tell her to get off her lazy butt!! ↑ |

| At thirteen and your spending that much on h on her that is crazy. Even if you have it spend. But it in a college fund etc... Does she have chores she does daily or weekly? Even with this I'm having problems that started when he was 18 he is now 19 . You need to change this or you'll have the others doing the same. ↑ |
