[quote=Anonymous]MD here with a daughter in private in NWDC. We are by far one of the least wealthy families in her school, and I'm in a mid-tier specialty (ie not primary care but not derm or ortho).

OP the stakes only go up for kids receiving LV bags at 13. You need a new social circle and a new attitude. Also your kids only know what's around them. If these are the only friends she has and you are focused on this issue, of course it's on her radar. I'm gen X and wouldn't have been caught dead with a designer purse at 13. But it's different for a lot of these kids now with insta, the Kardashians, etc. Consumerism has become cool again and you have to actively guard against those kind of vapid values (in my opinion).

tldr; don't get her an LV bag, that's dumb, and don't feel pressures to do so. Take her somewhere, give her an experience, or if she prefers a "thing" type gift, find something that mirrors an interest she has.

These same kids will get Teslas at 16. All I can say is they better go into finance or inherit a trust bc it's hard to stay at that level and it's a long way down from there.[/quote]
