[QUOTE="DDD, post: 434748, member: 35"] I have no idea how old she is but age might be a factor. Guessing that she is a teen I would assume that she has issues if she is overweight. I've been there done that with one of mine and it is so frustrating because the parent can't control diet or exercise as it has to come from within the child. There were occasions, I recall, when I privately teared up when I went shopping with my easy child. Chances are that is the root issue. Truthfully I have never wanted a pedicure. I surely wouldn't want to get a pedicure if I had a visable problem that I knew would cause comments after I left if not, even worse, in my presence. Even at 70 I think that most people who get manicures and pedicures are proof that "together" people like to enhance their appearance. Unhappy and overweight people aren't up for the scrutiny. Wearing flip flops all the time, to me, is another sign that she has relegated herself into the category of "different" and likely says she wears them for comfort. If you don't feel pride in how your clothes fit/look then you're not going to want shoes that are stylish either. Obviously I don't know her but I think the only way to "possibly" address the problem is to share the foot bath experience combined with something that she enjoys. While watching a movie or a special tv program? While eating takeout together? It's a pain to find something that you can use to soak but a generic brand I use occasionally really helps. I think you're right to be concerned. DDD [/QUOTE]
