Would you be OK with this? -grocery shopping

[Anonymous]

DD claims I "never" buy the things she wants at the grocery store, even when she gives me I list I buy the wrong kind/size, etc. and says it's just easier for me to give her money and she buys it herself. So I've been giving her money and she grocery shops by herself. Would that be ok with you?

It's fine if you think she's spending the money responsibly. How old is she?

[Anonymous]

Make her come with you.

If when she claimed I bought the wrong kind or size she was respectful about it I would be okay with this. Though I would likely just take her shopping with me. If she was rude or disrespectful about it I would not, because I wouldn't reward that type of behavior.

It's a great life skill to learn. I'd give her a budget and send her on her own

Ummmmm she eats what you buy?

Just curious - are you the same person who is complaining that DD is not sharing the kitchen?

[Anonymous]

Does she allow others in the kitchen with her? No snark I am seriously asking.

How does your daughter have that much control?
And if she's grown living at home Haha even worse

Haha, no, I am not the mother of non-sharing kitchen girl. My daughter is 16. She occasionally does come with me but I work, she plays sports and has a summer job, wants to hang with friends, etc. so it's hard to align schedules.

Then she doesn't get the right to complain.

okay so as long as she wasn't rude about your buying the wrong things I would let her shop on her own

She should give you a more detailed list.

Why isn't she buying her own snacks?
