A couple of nights ago Aubri wanted to go to the mall to get yoga pants. I had just gotten home from the weekend and all I wanted to do was shower and relax so I told her later in the week. Last night I asked her if there was somewhere she wanted to go and she said ‘yes, the mall to get yoga pants.’ So off to the mall we went.
I was under the impression that these pants were $20 - $25 and when we got there I found a sign that said 2 for $26 – great! I pointed it out to her and she started looking for pants. I was on the phone at the time so maybe I was distracted but when we got to the checkout line the pants rung up $38 apiece! Yowza – I asked about the sign and was told that those were specific pants. I looked at Aubri and told her I was not paying this much for yoga pants.
She, of course, got mad and told me that I went back on my word… what? I told her she could buy them with her own money but apparently she didn’t want to spend her own money on them and we left.
The way I look at it – if she wasn’t willing to spend her own money on them then they weren’t worth it but she's still mad anyway.
I’m waiting for her to turn 30 so that I get smarter and wiser in these things. ;)
Totally agree. She should at least have offered to pay the difference if she really wanted them. Wait til she gets really smart and starts writing out contracts for you to sign. I actually did that once to my mom, and had it notarized. As long as you don't sink to that level, count yourself fortunate.
