Im asking this as I tend to overthink whether I'm getting it "right" as a mum (for personal reasons linked to my own childhood). Anyway.... just wondering if this seems about right for a 16 yo teen girl for Christmas?
I didn't see my teen DD yesterday as she was at her dad's for Christmas Day. She's coming home today. I've just wrapped all her stuff ready for her coming back, but I feel a bit bad as I haven't spent as much on her presents this year as I normally do. I've actually ended up getting into debt for some of her stuff. I've got her:
- Apple AirPods (she asked for)
- trainers (she asked for)
- Gym Shark leggings
- 5 new tops / jumpers (2 she asked for; 3 I chose for her)
- a personalised engraved prosecco glass
- a bottle of Prosecco
- a candle
- smellies (bath products etc)
- a fluffy onesie
When I bought these things I felt like it was a lot but it doesn't look like much wrapped. But the first 3 items alone on the list came to £200!! I just can't afford to get her as much anymore now she's older. Is this just how it is now she's older and the stuff she wants is more costly?
