[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 644167, member: 15473"] One thing I have done that I am proud of is teaching both my girls the value of a dollar. That's not to say that they don't have nice things they just know I wont pay full price for them. Or they know to ask for them at Christmas when larger gifts are allowed. difficult child can squeeze a dollar and shop all day. I have even had to tell her to get stuff that she put back. She's tight! LOL easy child is also learning but she doesn't shop as much as difficult child. She prefers to get her hair done. If it were up to her we would be at the salon every 2 weeks getting a new cut and color along with a facial and a massage. She is having to learn that 1. I wont pay for a haircut at a cheapo place because it costs twice as much to fix and 2. that I wont pay for wild hair colors anymore. We do go to a middle of the line salon instead of a cheap place. Mainly due to hair nightmares from my past. I don't pay to do wild colors because they require a ton more maintenance and are bad for her hair. She can have them but I wont pay for it. I made the mistake of taking them when they were young and we had the money to get facials for acne issues. Now they think we should just go for fun. NOPE mommy can go to relax/have fun. easy child and difficult child get to go for facial issues like major acne or severe skin concerns. On the other hand husband is still in training. LOL He is super cheap with them sometimes and then when difficult child needs a car he puts on a superman cape and wants to run to the rescue. His training is not complete. I keep telling him the beatings will continue until his behavior improves but I don't think he is all that scared. HEHE [/QUOTE]
