I admit it.
I'm Pissed!
My Mother bought my eleven yr old, lip peircing, lying, wanna be goth daughter black converse that go all the way to the knee.
I would never have bought those for her, I don't think I am going to allow her to wear them to school and now my mom had CREATED a fight for me. How about, "Gee Preteen A, I don't think your mom would allow her preteen to wear something like that, how about we find something a little more age appropiate" But NO....
Thanks mom for helping to drive that looming wedge between me and my daughter just a little farther.
Oh NO! Can you make your Mom return them AND explain to Preteen A why she has to return them? Of course, your daughter will be devastated, but this is a parenting decision not a grandparenting decision. I feel you pain because I went through something similar with a cell phone given to a 13 year old. All parties involved knew that we did not want her to have one. We made the "gift" giver return it. It was horrific, but we did make a point. Again I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteYikes, I'd be pissed too. Sorry doesn't seem like the right thing to say, but i'm sorry that you have to deal with this situation.
ReplyDeleteI saw them. yeah, you're right, your not going to be thrilled...
