[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really need to have a conversation about what expectations for spending are. This has nothing to do with Sephora. [/quote]

This.

All stores are designed to separate people from their money, and your daughter doesn't seem to have any basic understanding of capitalism or budgeting.

I get not wanting your kid to work outside the home, but that shouldn't mean she just thinks things are free for the shopping.

Have her figure out how long it would take her to pay that back at a rate comparable to what she'd make at a job she could get, and then have her tell you how much of it she's going to return. She can work for you around the house to "work off" the rest.

But you need to look at yourself, OP, because the blame rests on you for both enabling your kid w/ access to your card w/o a hardline limit, and not having some basic talks about what money is worth and how to protect and preserve your assets.

Some remedial financial education seems needed here.[/quote]
