Well, remember that shopping and buying are two different things! I really urge you not to go with a credit card, but then your ability to use common sense may be better than mine!

Whats wrong with the jeans you bought? Dont they fit?

Credit Cards can be extremely seductive. Many people end up buying what they want and not what they need.

And, since you are not actually using cash at the time of purchase, it seems you are getting something for nothing.

But, wait until that first monthly bill hits! Only making a minimum payment over the course of time can lead to paying up to 300% more than what the sticker price is.

REMEMBER: If you dont pay off the balance EVERY month you are slammed hard with an interest rate. And, if you have dodgy credit to begin with, in all likelihood you will have a variable interest rate that can and WILL change at the creditors discretion.

If your family is already struggling financially then DO NOT GET A CREDIT CARD.

Did you buy some cookware? Cooking can be a great creative outlet for bipolars. I have no credit cards, they scare me.

I used to write mortgages and credit reports can fuck you quickly, for a long long time.

The worst are credit cards. They start people out with shitty limits. $35 dollars lol and then when people go over the limit the fees start adding up and now interest is being charges on the fees the credit crap companies charged. WTF!

I love the movie Fight Club, for the final motivating mission of the whole story. Credit SUCKS!

I bought those jeans with a jcpenny credit card anyway....and they will fit the problem is she saw other jeans that she wants more now I have to take the jeans I bought back and shop somewhere else.....

Really you dont.

Let her wear the jeans you already purchased. She wanted them, she has them end of discussion.

You are the parent and you can say that. Nothing horrible will happen to your daughter if she doesn't get her way.

Well She won't be happy with those jeans anymore......she did want them af first until we went to kmart cuz I wanted to see if they had any clothes I liked since I need some new ones since I will be starting school soon and need the clothes. She changes her mind like me all the time when she sees something else she wants more, and I just want her to be happy so if it means returning them and shopping elsewhere I guess I don't have a problem with that.

Yes Princess, there is something wrong with that.

Giving in a child all the time will only lead to her becoming a selfish and self-centered adult.

Life is about compromises.

And you should want her to be happy, but it doesnt mean letting her have her way all the time.

What happens when she decides she doesnt like the new jeans? Shop again?

She wanted them, now they are hers.

so why are you posting?

I agree with some of the other comments, if they fit and she wanted them make her wear them. You shouldn't give into children or they will end up spoilt brats and I'm sure you don't want this of your child

I think the child should have the clothes she wants to go to school in. After all, how we see ourselves is a big part of how we feel about ourselves. And how we feel about ourselves plays directly into mental health.

SLICE

After some of the brouhaha that went down concerning Princess and her posts, I have come to realize that she is only seeking attention.

Her constant posts really do take away from someone who might need legitimate help. She always receives good advice in the first couple of responses but the story always grows and becomes more convoluted. Meaning a thread that spreads out forever.

I have been wiling to give her benefit of the doubt. But now, it just seems manipulative. A constant craving for attention.

All of it every thing she posts is so completely unnecessary.

Such as:
I cant get the gaming score I want with SIMS. Boo Hoo.
Hubby wants me to clean hes mean. Boo Hoo.
Ramen noodles?! I cant make ramen oodles! Boo Hoo.

Im even having a hard time believing that Princess exists t all. I think we are all being played here. Everything about these posts just feels manipulative.

I really do exsit and it's not all about attention....why is it
I post offtopic and people say I am attention hungry
but when other people do it they are validated?
I just dojn't get this board. They have their little clique and
only allow certain people in.....I am sorry to say that is so high school
and high school is so over and overrated......

"I really do exsit and it's not all about attention....why is it

1. There is a section for off- topic posts
2. If you were not attention hungry, wouldn't you post there?

"I just dojn't get this board. They have their little clique and

1. I have noticed that people genuinely like to have meaningful conversations here. The give and take, not just take and take.
2. Speaking of high school. You have a kiss my ass avatar...

It isn't about a clique it is about a fellowship of people helping people. Have you given anything back lately?

you seem to have no trouble exerting yourself spending money Princess(though I gather you have financial issues)..perhaps your child would benefit more if you used this energy doing things, perhaps less appealing to you, like prepare food for her..ie/the notorious ramen noodles. & clean. & grow up some/take some responsibility. There, I said it.

I think you post stuff like this cause you want some kind of bizarre permission & you know you shouldn't do what you're gonna do. Just a thought.
