[quote=Anonymous]My husband's DIL grew up poor so now she thinks working to get her daughter everything she wants is okay. Especially when they don't have the money yet cries to her FIL that child NEEDS this stuff to fit in. Help us Lord. Old girl needs to deep dive into her childhood and let that feeling go. You don't project your bad experiences onto your child.

I no longer take money requests. If they want something they have to go through FIL. I get to decide if they get money or not. I hate doing that but you have got to draw the line sometimes. The first line was crossed during the holidays when DIL bought $75 worth of skin care items because child's best friend had some of that. And they lied to me about that virtual reality headset. The child's eyes are bad enough. They bought her one anyway. With money we gave them.
Money I told them was NOT for that. I found out when a picture was sent and the headset was showing. Damn.

No matter the reason I no longer feel comfortable giving money away foolishly. And I don't like being taken advantage of.

If you want your kid growing up thinking that stuff will make you special or it will get you into the good crowd, I'm not supporting that. I also don't support child wearing tight clothes because her mother is either blind or doesn't care. Nor should you dress your 12 year old in hooker shoes. Or make your child wear a bra when she's 9 and fat. Or scare her into believing her period will make her a woman. Damn fake Christian moonbat. I will never understand her but the good news is I no longer have to try. I also understand her hatred of her mother. All because Mom didn't have enough money to make baby girl happy. Worshipping money. Until I started reading here I never knew such a thing existed.
