[quote=Anonymous]She’s a kid and fitting in is important at that age. If you can’t afford a Stanley, see if you can find one at a thrift store. If you can afford one, consider just buying it. If it’s the principle, have her do a few chores or help an older family member so she can appreciate that this is a want and not a need. I recently had my son shovel the driveway and sidewalks of his grandpa and paid him myself. We also have him take over dog walking responsibilities. I remember being that age and my mom was adamant about no labels. It was really hard. I babysat a lot to earn money as I got older. I decided with my own kids to meet in the middle. I wouldn’t buy everything they wanted but purchase things here or there. [/quote]
