To not buy DD a new coat?

[LemonBeachTowel]

More of a WWYD then AIBU. DD is 13 years old and is fairly fashion conscious. Last week she and DH went coat shopping and she came back with a coat that coat a fairly extortionate amount of money.
Anyway DD wore the coat to school last Friday. And now hates it. Despite being the coat of her dreams the day before. Apparently other girls in her class made comments about the coat and now she can’t possibly wear it ever again.
DH has said she can have a new coat and this is were the problems lies. I think she needs to carry on with her expensive almost brand new coat. DH wants to buy her another new coat. I tried to compromise and said she can have a new cheap coat or we could return the old coat and buy a new coat with the refund. However DD wants the coat to wear at weekends and doesn’t want a cheaper coat for school. I’m bored of talking about it with her! WWYD?

I’m the whole meat v fur - you tell me that British higher welfare meat production is in any way as bad as fur production in countries with shit animal welfare and shit supply chain tracing.

Down is bad too as no one can guarantee there isn’t live pluck in their supply chain.

Remember H&M and Zara selling real fur as fake fur? Because it’s cheaper to produce low welfare fur. Even on an £800 coat you’ve no idea how the animal was treated.

Oh fuck it. I don't know why I waste my breath tbh

The name works! I tried quite a few variations when I signed up but kept getting told it was already taken. Could quite easily have messed it up when I first tried, but I didn't get pissed off about being told. I just tried it again and it worked! No need to attack you for it. But you carry on attacking me.

If you get upset at someone saying "that's the wrong word" then don't use a public forum.

It's not about spelling or punctuation. I'm dyslexic, I spell things wrong all the time. I don't even read books; I listen to audio books. Spelling and using the correct word are different things. I've never corrected anything else but seeing "loose money" or "Loose my keys" all over this site... It's a completely different word and it's an epidemic on this site.

She didn't like what you wrote as it could easily have been directed at her because of a health issue and medication.

Well, if they learn the difference between loose and lose then they can apply that information next time.

For goodness sake. I dare say if it's a health issue or dyslexia then it won't be as easy as 'applying that information next time'.

Could you really not follow what the post meant because of this error? If not, you should work on that. If you could, then just ignore it next time. It's not appreciated and makes people feel shit. But well done. 🙄

"aphasia". Have you heard of it?

"Although aphasia affects a person's ability to communicate, it doesn't affect their intelligence"

But clearly you think it's more important for people to be corrected by you, than for you to extend tolerance to others.

"If you get upset at someone saying "that's the wrong word" then don't use a public forum" Yes you have upset me actually and no I don't want to use MN any more - I've been here about 12 years and your just the final nail I. The coffin.

Carry on then. Sorry to have derailed thread.

Please don't let her upset you. Most people on here don't care about SPaG and certainly wouldn't dream of saying anything.

Well, the makers have a detailed statement on their website about how they source their fur. I don't imagine they'd dare lie about it.

3WildOnes at the school I work in this amount in a coat would be quite normal. I have a couple of students with Canada Goose coats, iPhone X is a common choice of phone, and recently I parked my Skoda next to a 6th former’s Aston Martin. These kids are in another world entirely from Food Bank Britain.

Sell the coat on ebay, worn once. Should get a good price. Then new coat costing whatever it is the other one is sold for.

Get her to practice saying "oh well, I like it anyway".

DD2 is quite shy and would seem like a push over but she is quietly stubborn. A couple of girls in her class used to try stunts about saying they didn't like approve of items of clothing, or even a pencil case. Basically anything new that she was pleased with. But she would just shrug and say "oh well, I like it".

No drama. No argument. They got bored and gave up.

Your DD needs to learn to stand up for what she likes and be happy to be individual. Who wants to be a sheep?

Firstly, any form of bullying is never ever ok. However, is this out and out bullying or are the other girls at school so appalled by the coat that they are voicing their opinion on this hideous clothing brand? You would literally have to live on the moon to not know about the appalling trade behind Canada Goose. Your DD is only 13 - what parent in their right mind would send them off to school in a Canada goose jacket knowing what lies behind it. I would remove it now and encourage her to choose something far more appropriate. Letting her wear it at the weekend is not the answer.
