[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is 16, not 6. [b]Let her enjoy the bag and I don't see why you'd bother being angry over this. This is not a big deal.[/b]

And while you described your wife as "VERY Type A" it sounds like that description also fits you.[/quote]

Disagree it IS a big deal to parents who do not condone spending this kind of money on such an elaborate item. It would not fly in my house and my daughters would not be allowed at 16 to carry $2000 bags I don't care if an angel swooped down and gave it to them. I would package it up and return it with a nice note, and allow it to be a teaching moment to your daughter about earning those kinds of things....and it would surely school this woman who has no respect for your wishes.[/quote]

Help me understand this mindset.  I understand that you are instilling values in your child such that you wouldn't want her to (or allow her to) SPEND that kind of money on a bag.  I get that.  But what value are you teaching her by not letting her keep a gift that costs that much?  [/quote]
