[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% return it. That's a LOT of money. One of my DD's friends (13) did this when my husband took the girls shopping--not $400 but something like $150 on Drunk Elephant products. The parents made her take it back.

If a teenager thinks she needs skin care products that badly, take them to a dermatologist and get a prescription. [/quote]

ALSO, her Apple Pay should NOT be linked to your account. That's just asking for trouble. What if it was $400 or more on something unreturnable? Get her her own bank account that is linked to yours so you can transfer money as needed but she can't spend more than she has. [/quote]
Seconding this!  My kids can use Apple Pay with money from a separate account that is linked to mine.  I only send money into their account when they earn it, or for specific purchases that they clear through me in advance.  My kids also recognize how much unnecessary consumption goes on with many of their peers, because that sort of thing doesn't fly in my house.  They have friends who only wear things once, who purchase stuff and then "get tired of it" almost immediately, purchase luxury/overpriced cosmetics (drunk elephant, anyone?).  I don't deprive my kids, but I also want them to appreciate and take care of what they have, not be wasteful, and not be generally entitled pricks like some of the neighborhood kids seem to be turning into.[/quote]
