She is 17, money would have been the best gift. She may have wanted to pick out her own clothes.

Sounds like you must go overboard all the time with her and she doesn’t appreciate it. I blame you and your husband for buying her all these things…that is just ridiculous. Once a person gets used to getting all this stuff they always want more.

Meh, wait until she turns 18 and works at McDonald’s and she’ll learn the value of money really fast.

I say take it all back and tell her unless she learns to be grateful she gets nothing. That’s why you try to not spoil kids..they grow up to be ungrateful.

It sounds like this girl has maybe been spoiled with material possessions during her life. Perhaps she was expecting a luxury car instead?

I think she needs to learn some harsh life lessons now vs. later.

Does she have a job? If not, the local McDonalds is a good start.

You are either do very well financially or living way beyond your means. If you live the good life, perhaps your daughter could learn by helping those less fortunate. I am sure there are local charities in the area that could use some help.

Also, your lavish gifts probably aren’t helping. Children don’t learn how to act like this in a bubble. To be honest, you seem quite proud about these gifts and the luxury designer brands you presented your daughter with on her birthday.

Good luck!

Is Salacious Crumb the only one who can spot a troll before it gets close enough to smell it?

EDIT: Guess his answer was too spot-on, as I see it’s been removed. WTG, Y!A.

she’s 17.
she probably never worked for her own stuff.
what did u expect.
i understand you are disappointed but learn your lesson and next time you just get her something simple.
i mean just one of those things would have been already enough.
i would be so happy to get all that stuff, but my parents made me work for my brand stuff and i think it was a really good lesson they tough me.
they bought me jeans, but when i wanted brand jeans, i needed to look for a job.

You give her way too much, what do you expect? she is spoiled and it’s your fault so why blame her. She has come to expects it and when a child has to much they do not appreciate anything…

You better hope she finds a rich husband or she will be hell on wheels if she doesn’t get everything handed to her….
