[QUOTE="Fran, post: 138014, member: 3"] I'm on the same page with trying to not use money as the issue. Since it is missing the point. A) Being nice isn't what a parent is aiming for. B) Lots of people do nice things and it's kind for M to offer her things. C)This is not a competition. You are the mother and your job is to raise her to be good responsible adult. Sometimes it means not being the nicest in Tink's eyes. She shouldn't get into the habit of comparing because it will set up a lot of animosity. If Michelle is a good person, be grateful that she gives Tink attention. It can be a positive influence. Embrace it and help Michelle learn to not over indulge or make offers she may not be able to follow through on. Big item gifts should be used as a reward for a stated goal. [/QUOTE]
