[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is middle ground between "buy every trend" and "never give in to trends" I occasionally buy trendy things and sometimes I buy no name stuff. I think most people are like that. Maybe buy the Stanley and see where it leads, you can always have a conversation if you feel like it's getting out of hand.[/quote]

True, but I think Op’s daughter has a really bad attitude about this and I don’t think she should be rewarded with a Stanley for it. [b]Saying the other cups are trashy[/b] and saying she’s going be judged by using one is I’m mentality that I think should not be rewarded. Refusing to drink water because she doesn’t have a Stanley cup is worse than the behavior of a bratty two-year-old. This is why I wouldn’t get her one. I would be having a completely different reaction if her daughter would be having a different attitude.

I have commented on here before that it’s a relatively harmless and benign trend. It’s dumb, but harmless. But if you want to follow a trend, you need to have a better attitude.[/quote]

I'm more anti-trendy cup than you are I think (for us, it's a lot of money), but the bolded is really key for me. Thinking other kids are going to make fun of you can be a chance to talk about bullying, but thinking other cups are trashy is the mindset of a bully, not a bullying victim. I don't want to hear the word "trashy" leave my kid's mouth, it's too close to the kinds of things my family got called growing up. She's not so far removed from being called PWT that I'm going to ignore that.[/quote]

This. OP, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Your daughter’s attitude is pretty f*cked up. [/quote]
