DD is 15 and in the throes of teenagedom.....she is normally very placid and well behaved, not normally a prima donna.
however.....
She chose a coat on ebay, not expensive, only about £20, from China. We duly ordered it, paid for it, and yesterday it arrived. It is identical to the ebay picture. its lovely. She was not restricted to a budget, and she chose this coat out of every other on the internet.
She has seen it, thrown a hissy fit, says she hates it, wont wear it.
DH was the only one in when it arrived as i was at work, and he did not argue with her, but simply told her that if she wanted another one, she would have to pay for it out of her pocket money (she gets £35 per month cash and we pay for her mobile phone on top of that)
Today she has told me she "needs a coat"
WIBU to tell she has a coat, which she chose, and we paid for, and its up to her if she does not wear it and stick to what DH has said and tell her if she wants another she must pay for it herself?
She is upstairs crying at the moment saying its winter and she needs a coat and what is she meant to do in the snow etc etc etc
Now i know the Ebay coat was not expensive, but to send it back to china will cost as much as buying the flaming coat.....
its too small for me or i would keep it and wear it. i like it. sadly a chinese "large" is a size 8 - 10....which i am not!
help me decide MN jury....(i feel a bit of a meanie.)
