[quote=Anonymous]I think the issue here is that you are blaming mom for SD's behavior. Yes, she is young and impressionable, but she is going to have to stand up for herself in many situations, including with her mom. Sit down and talk about the cute car comment. "SD, you know how much I love you and how proud I am that you are graduating. I am really excited to celebrate that achievement by getting a car for you, but I'm a little worried about a comment that you made. Are you truly considering reselling and buying a different car?" See what she says. My guess is that she actually brought it up so that you would be the bad guy and put the kibosh on mom for her--SD doesn't want to offend you by selling the car and doesn't want to stand up to mom. Don't let her get away with it! You have to keep your relationship with her about HER, and she needs to figure out how to handle her mom on her own.[/quote]
