To think that some people have more money than sense?

So I was at a toddler group with my 15mo and the lady running the group commented on how nice one of the lg's shoes were. The mother of said child said that they were a Kanye West brand and that they cost her £300. Everyone else in the room who heard this were clearly surprised. It was a bit of a tumbleweed moment but the mother just laughed it off.

Now I know it's each to their own and everyone is perfectly entitled to do what they want with their own money but I was just shocked. I wouldn't spend that amount on a pair of shoes for myself never mind a toddler who wouldn't even be in them for very long. I just wouldn't be able to justify it, even if I was loaded.

AIBU for thinking this?

I think I'd be firmly in the "what a plonker" school of thought here. I could buy many many shoes for that, but it's her £ to spend presumably.

Then again I think that when I see petit filous in dsis' fridge when I know my dn's will happily scoff Tesco value fromage fraise at my house for a fraction of the cost.

I am however married to a self confessed tight Yorkshireman Grin

I would assume the £300 is on a credit card rather than paid in full.

She spent 300 quid on kid's shoes?

Utterly bonkers. Yeah I would judge.
