[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have never taught her any financial literacy skills or expected her to manage money. I assume you are raising her to be looked after and taken care of and have her life paid for by a rich man. So buying make-up is good in a traditional gender role, the woman needs to look pretty and the man buysh er things. Seems like you are preparing her well for the life you think she will have.

Unforunate for her that she isn't seen as having any value or worth beyond make-up but ah well.[/quote]

This makes no sense. If anything, they’re raising her to be taken care of by her parents. Which is not without its problems but imo is a way better gig than being taken care of by a “rich man.” Who knows if OP’s kid wants that or is even hot enough to find one. That’s not an easy job to land.

Plus lots of perfectly content women with fulfilling careers drop $400 now and then at Sephora. It’s not a huge deal if you can afford it. Which the OP’s daughter clearly thought she could! She had access to the funds and she showed everything to her mom. Her mom was fine with her spending $100 at Sephora, but not $400. But it doesn’t sound like she had explained that. [/quote]
