[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like a spending problem. I think you're doing fine by giving her an allowance and limiting her to this. Let her buy whatever she wants with her allowance but when she is out of money that is it. Explain that eating out is financially irresponsible and that's that. I may be harsher than other parents on this forum, but I would sit down and set limits on snark and attitude. If my DD gave me serious attitude or whined, I would stop her allowance. In college, she may end up broke, but you can limit spending on food by just getting the school meal plan. I don't know how she manages to convince her friends and boyfriend to buy things for her all the time, but my guess is that this will take care of itself when they get tired of her not being able to pay them back.
