[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is 16, not 6. Let her enjoy the bag and I don't see why you'd bother being angry over this. This is not a big deal.

And while you described your wife as "VERY Type A" it sounds like that description also fits you.[/quote]

Eek. Have to agree with the last sentence.

Agree with you about the bag, but think you need to let it go. My 5 year old had a birthday party and not one of the gifts was something I ever would buy for him, but it's his birthday so we deal with the remote control car (my hardwoods! My chair legs!)

If it was something dangerous (or even something like a weekend away and that made you nervous, an acrobatic class or sky diving and you were afraid of neck injury, etc) that would be one thing. But it's a handbag so I don't think that applies here.

And your daughter already has it.
I think a good heart to heart with your daughter where you repeat your values, your concerns and a dialogue about your aversion to pricey designer things is appropriate and let her make the choice on whether she wants to use it and what the "risks" are.[/quote]
