Can I be cheeky and ask......

How much you pay for shoes, trainers etc for your dc?

Leaning more towards teenage boy with large man feet.

It is an AIBU by the way, your answers may help me solve a blazing row slight disagreement with the exp

DS is a size 10 or 11, age 16.

School shoes - Barratts - 36.00 (vile pointy toe things but he insisted)
Trainers - for sport (tends not to wear them casually now) about 37 I think from Foot locker
Lace up pump things from River Island - 16
Canvas boot things from Top Man 36

The last pair of trainers were 24.99 from TK Max and lasted for two years.

DD - size 4, age 13

School shoes - Clarks - 36 (ish) - Last Easter
ballet pumps - Hennes - 7.99 (and have been worn constantly since Feb)
trainers - 35 (ish) John Lewis - Last Easter

Your XP is being unreasonable but presumably you know he's unreasonable already. Your DS is nearly big enough to make up his own mind about him.

Next time suggest XP takes DS shopping himself to buy them!
