[quote=Anonymous]She's not thinking of the whole budget, or of the time also required. She's seeing that the concert tickets are "only" $350 and can't understand why you're not willing to make that work. I bet if you dug deeper (and you don't have to!), you'd find that Larla's mom has a college friend in the concert city and they're staying there, or that they're going because Larla's brother is graduating from college that weekend so they already planned to take time off from school/work... My young teen once got ridiculously upset because he wanted to go to a big concert (in DC area) on a school night that was guaranteed to end after midnight. I told him that just didn't line up with how we wanted him to spend his weeknights and he raged and raged. I just kept saying how sorry I was he was so upset, and reminded him that when he was in college he'd be able to be in charge of his schedule and could do all the things.[/quote]
