[quote=Anonymous]When I was in 7th grade, I wanted the specific Adidas puffer coat that was "in" at the time. It wasn't $1000 but it was more than my parents were used to spending on my clothes at that time, as I was still in kids' sizes for the most part. But they got it for me for Christmas and I am so grateful to this day, because it let me blend in - which, for a young teen, is such a blessing sometimes. That said - your kid isn't asking for something that will let him blend in, that 'everyone' has. He wants something ostentatious that he can rub people's faces in. That desire on his part probably warrants quite a bit of discussion before you decide whether or not he should wear the sweater to school. Also, if your ILs bought it without batting an eye, that's likely a major issue, too.[/quote]
