[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cheapest tickets are in southern cal since she is doing so many shows there in early August. Can you make it a family vacation? [/quote] She’ll be at sleepaway camp until the date of the last show - which is too bad because my mom lives in Southern California and it would be easy to go there while visiting her!! She came back this evening with “it’s ok, I don’t NEED to go but I’d still really like to go” so I think she’s calming down a bit. If she wasn’t already doing sleepaway camp plus a 2.5 week trip to Asia earlier in the summer I would be much more likely to spend the money on this. As it is we are spending over $12,000 on her summer plans alone and that doesn’t include any family travel yet. And yes, she does babysit her siblings sometimes and I don’t always pay her but I do pay her (or buy her something she wants) some of the time, like for babysitting on a Saturday night. She is a REALLY good kid and ordinarily I’d give her just about anything within reason - but again this isn’t a reasonable request. [/quote] You sound very wealthy. I'd get my daughter the tickets in your shoes. I work in finance. I was talking with some extremely wealthy clients who raised three great and highly successful kids. I asked them for some parenting secrets. They said they always shared the wealth. I remember the wife said, "If I was shopping for myself at Nordstrom's, I wasn't going to have my daughter get her clothes from Target." They said they felt their lavish lifestyle inspired their kids to work hard so they could lead a similar lifestyle. It's great that you don't just hand everything to your daughter, but yeah...I wouldn't have my daughter miss this IF I were wealthy and could comfortably afford it.[/quote]
