[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would wonder if your DS is uncomfortable saying no, and needs coaching on polite phrasing and handling pressure.

That’s it.   I love buying clothes for the family and nieces.  My middle schooler has a lot of sneakers, hoodies, everything.   We give clothes to her friends that are smaller than her.  When I drop them off I give her $20 for food and give the same to her friends, usually only 1 or 2 girls.

Yesterday one of her friends put my dd hoodie on and a pair of her sneakers.  I’m pretty sure my dd will have a hard time asking for them back.

Our town has families with every income from government assistance to the 1 %.  We are in the middle but most of her friends are low income.  The one who wore her hoodie and sneakers has a single mother and two sister who live in a two bedroom apartment.   Another is from South America and I’m pretty sure they are not here legally.  They came here on a visa over five years ago.

The hoodie is a unique one we bought in NYC so I’m hoping she asks for it back.  She’s like the OPs son.  I know she gets it from me but I want her to be sensitive to friends with less but also be able to know when someone is using her.  [/quote]
