My kid would be:
She will return
All by herself 
And she would take a Dave Ramsey course on the weekends[/quote]

:roll:  :roll:  dramatic much

It doesn't sound like OP had a discussion with her DD about what's allowed and how to spend money. So I'd start there.

That's an interesting take.

How about the fact that this kid has zero money of her own and going into a store, automatically thinks $400 is a perfectly acceptable amount to spend. Sounds like she thinks it's Monopoly money.

It sounds like she was allowed to use the card for dinner, etc? The OP seemed to think spending $100 at Sephora would have been fine but spending $400 was way too much and [b]I don’t see how the kid would have known that without being told. That’s a pretty fine line[/b]. [/quote]
Seriously? Man, some of y'all have low LOW expectations of your kid's intelligence/common sense.

My daughter is two years younger than OP's daughter, and I will occasionally give her my credit card if she's going out with friends and the activity will require money (mostly bc I never have cash on me). Like last night she and her friends went to a HS soccer game and I gave her my CC with the direction that she was free to use it if she and her friends wanted to walk to get dinner afterwards...it did not even cross my mind to instruct her that by "dinner" I meant a $20 for pizza and a drink at &pizza or something...not a $100 three course meal at some sit down restaurant on Bethesda Row. Because common sense.[/quote]

How is that common sense? That’s just a personal budget. That has nothing to do with “common sense.”[/quote]
