Dp has bought this dress for dd
I have asked him before not to shop in M and Co as I think there children's clothes are inappropriate and cheap tat.
Dd had seen this dress when in there with a friend, she had saved her pocket money and so went with dp into town and bought it. She did not know that I had told dp that I did not want her to buy things in the shop but I think she suspected I would not like the dress.
When dd showed me the dress I said to her that I thought it was too old for her ( she is 7) and that if she had been with me she would not have got it.
I then felt guilty at undermining dp, she is is his daughter ( well not biologically but I doint see that that matters) so said that she did not have to return the dress. I also thought that dd must have been saving her pocket money for quite a while which is a good thing so I felt mean taking the dresd away.
Dp says I need to accept that dd is growing up and that I am too strict with her, he also feels that I undermine him. We had a huge argument the other week because I would not allow DD to have clothes with slogans or brandnames on or from Primark.
A similar thing happened with dd biological father when he bought her a tshirt liek this one for dd and I refused to let her have it
So Am I being a control freak with dd clothes? Am I undermining dp? Would you let her have that dress?
