[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 356405, member: 6705"] Jody - I wish I had the nerve to break something of Onyxx's I had paid for. I just can't seem to do it. Besides, she will break it herself soon enough. Since last fall she has killed 3 mp3 players, and had her $250 camera (bought by mother in law) and husband's old GPS (satellite wouldn't connect but it worked for music) stolen at school. She wants them replaced but I flat refused... And told her to save her money. Kid cannot save. Too bad. We had a clothing allowance for a while. I gave her $100 and told her - whatever you get - you need jeans and tops. She came home with $60 in g-strings (!!!!!) and $45 in koi from Hot Topic - makeup, buttons, etc. She borrowed $5 from a friend. Then a week later she wanted new jeans... I reminded her of the money I had given her for jeans and tops. She whined, complained, and punched a hole in her bedroom wall. I wouldn't cave... But I did go to Wal-Mart, and bought 6 pairs of pants and 8 shirts, socks, underwear and shoes for Jett - on clearance - for $85. He was thrilled. Onyxx was not. Tried a different tactic - told her - you have $150 - spend it where you want. BUT - I had the money. So she got 2 pairs of jeans from Pac Sun, 4 shirts from JC Penney and some new underwear. No shoes... Because she spent $110 on jeans. Somehow in all of this she decided she likes Goodwill. (WHEW!) [/QUOTE]
