[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To a 14 year old, yes, this is embarrassing. You could have declined differently. When I was that age, my mother told a friends mother that we couldn’t afford for me to go to a camp. While true, my mother could have said something else was the reason. The other mother told her daughter who then told me. It was a terrible feeling as a 14 year old. [/quote] +1[/quote] “We can’t afford it” is not the same thing as “that’s too expensive”. Kids need to hear that their parents won’t shell out for any little whim they have, and that some things aren’t worth the price being charged. PP who said to have the kid pay out of their allowance is spot-on.[/quote]
