AIBU to buy much needed clothes for dd with her birthday money

[Shinyshoes1]

I have 3 DC's and I normally buy their clothes for them out of the household money . Money has been tight of late espesh this month where it's the Christmas hangover financially wise .

Dd's birthday was last Monday . She doesn't need another toy it's like a branch of toys r us in here but she does desperately need new clothes .

She hasn't had a new wardrobe of clothes for about 2 years , she turned 5 Monday and is growing out of everything . AIBU to spend her money on clothes for herself .
I wouldn't give clothes as a present unless it's my Ds1 as he's a walking advert for Superdry and the household budget stretches to Primarni or sainsburys

I'm a bit funny about spending "gift" money on clothes but needs must .
I feel awful that I've bought the boys clothes out of household money but using her birthday money for clothes it seems unfair
AIBU ?

If you let her choose the things herself, and she is happy to spend her money on clothes, YANBU.

If she wants to buy something else and she is going to have no say in what clothes she gets, YABVU.

Ok then done . To make it into a shopping day sounds fun too thanks for that idea we shall finish off in coffee shop perhaps waterstones and she can choose a book if there's money left ,

Hmm ideas , I feel better about it all now

By that age both DDs liked choosing.

Just don't offer the choice of one dress you like and one you don't.

DD1 wore bright yellow dress with pink flowers every warm day for a year. I got quite fond of it in the end.
