[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She won't admit it, but I think it's the brands. She has a pair of Lulemon shorts that she used a Christmas gift card on and another pair of Athleta shorts. Today I showed her some cute Nike athletic shorts that are on sale at Dicks and she wouldn't even look at them.[/quote]

I was about to say “don’t pick a fight”, but I would pick THIS fight.[/quote]

Why pick this fight?  If she prefers certain brands, you can either set a $ budget and she will have fewer items or find them on sale or discount sites.  She may end up with fewer items then she otherwise would have, but that doesn't seem to concern her.  Why can't DD have a preference for particular brands that are comfortable and styles that appear to be appropriate?[/quote]

14:17 here. My kids don’t have a clothing budget, it’s simply my job to raise them to be good people.[/quote]

Why is caring about brands not part of the definition of being a good person though?

My 12 year old doesn't care a thing about brands (she's insanely picky in other ways about her clothes), but if she did I wouldn't automatically shoot it down. Even if she just cared about the brands to fit in. There can be perfectly legitimate reasons to want to fit in.[/quote]
