[quote=Anonymous]You were right. It’s still embarrassing. I also would have nixed an unplanned expensive activity, but I would not have acted flustered about the cost. I would have made up a plausible non-financial reason to stick with the original plan. If I had a kid who often put me in this position, we would have a look or a code that would signal to them “don’t press me on this or I will say it’s too expensive on front of your friend”. My guess is that one of two things is going on. 1. Your daughter’s friend’s parents are much wealthier or just choose to spend in flashier ways and your daughter wanted to impress her friend - or she wanted her friend to perceive that an unplanned expense of that amount was no big deal. 2. Both girls know that if they asked either set of parents alone that both families would say no - so they sprang it on you at the last minute to put you on the spot. [/quote]
