[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you are crazy for endorsing it.

She's 16 let her get a job to pay for those things.

We could easily afford that stuff, you want it get a job.

And to all the answers "my kids job is school", yes we agree school comes first but if you raise a well balanced kid they can do both.

Every kid needs to learn how to work for someone. [/quote]

Thanks for the reply. She has a part time job but doesn’t make nearly enough to pay for all of the stuff listed above (for example, haircuts alone can  be like $350). However, she does spend most of her money on these items.[/quote]

$350 for a teen haircut?  Lady, you are crazy.  There is no way you should be allowing this.  Even with her own money.  If my kid wanted to throw (her own) money away like that, we’d be having a lot of conversations about the value of money, learning to save, how to treat yourself within your budget, things you are giving up, etc.  To me, far worse than the crazy spending on beauty products is the lack of money sense with which you will be seeing her out into the world.
