Playing devils advocate.
“Girls, if your salary doesnt cover your expenses you better learn how to shop on SALE.”
This is common sense and applies to all people.
“Todays “needs” are ridiculous. Do you girls know that some of your parents REALLY CANT AFFORD your lifestyles but they dont have the heart to say no?”
Do girls really NEED seminary? Do children of all ages NEED summer camp? Your right, some NEEDS really are ridiculous.
“Next time you buy a dress that costs more than $300 think about if you really need it and if your father can really afford it.”
If the father cant afford it, he is an idiot for paying for it.
“For all you know your father is in debt and has CC bills up to the wazoo.”
If said father allows the $300 dress he cant afford, he is an idiot and he needs professional help. From a financial planner and also someone to hekp him work on his parenting skills. Parenting is not about becoming your childs best friend.
With that said, children should not take advantage of their parents stupidity.
