[MickeySP]

Luv- they do & if u get there emails u get discounts

You know what my money gets spent how I want PERIOD!!!

I have an only child but took 3 boys with problems so my "entitled" child
learned what real life was like very early. Blanket statements only
show ignorance.

I choose not to spend mine on UGGs, but I fully support your choice to do otherwise. Seriously people, buying or not buying a particular name brand is not exactly a parenting issue.

I personally spoil my girls rotten (well, they're not really spoiled just indulged). They have enormous amounts of material things, just not UGGs.

A friend at work told me to come look at my thread.... WOW ...
To answer the question does my Granddaughter know UGGS . Um yes she does these are the ones that have a cute little button on the side. We tried to get her a pair at Childrens Place but she said she wanted the black ones she saw with me at the store with a button .
My DD and her DH are not poor by any means but they cant afford 120 for one pair of shoes. I can and I do spoil her . I am not making her into a name brand ***** at all . I take offense to that , I am not saying you must not love your kids because you are buying them knock offs .
We work hard for what we have . If I were living pay check to pay check , in debt then no I wouldnt do it .
I have no idea why its ok to say mean things to other people (NOT ME at all . I am talking about things being said to others on the thread) because you dont agree.

Why is it ok to say things about people who have more but not ok to say things about people who have less. Perfect example is a Doctor at work tells me daily that she thinks that my Mercedes is to expensive but I never tell her that her Ford Focus is a a cheap wreck . Why ? 1. because its rude and 2. because I dont care its her money to do with as she pleases if she wants to drive a car with red tape on the brake light let her ! Its her tape , her brake light.

Live and let live and no I wont be running away from my thread cause I aint skerred LOL . Been here many years and I like all of you people for some reason . Even when we dont agree

But lets just go ahead and remind everyone LOL I am the one who bought this same child a DVC membership when she was born so she wouldnt have to pay for a vacation till she was a Grandma and could buy one for her own Grandkids It was already asked in a PM . YES I am that same nut

I just can't believe that the Uggs are good for growing kids/developing feet. They have no flexibility in the sole and if you watch people walk in them they walk funny because of that. I wouldn't buy them just for that reason.

 

[luvmyfam444]

At 3 she shouldn't even know what Uggs are.... And she certainly couldn't tell the difference between them & all the other ones that look just like them @ the stores.

And yes they are that expensive!

 

[DrPierreMcDuck]

The child is three, which means it is quite unlikely that she will remember this when she is older. From a practical perspective, she will outgrow them in no time at all. It is a waste of money, but it is obviously your choice.

 

[crashbb]

I'm confused - the OP ends with:

I dont think I am cheap but I also dont think it is right to spend 120 bucks on shoes that will look yuck in a month or two

Yet, when people agree with her (that it is not right to spend $120 on Uggs for a three year old), the OP comes back and informs the other posters that they are rude and wrong.

Oh, and throws in some more bragging (car, DVC) for an added bonus.

 

[DeluxePrincess]

I guess I don't see the big deal. I don't think people should spend a fortune on a wedding gown, but more power to those who do. As long as you don't ask me to help pay for them, I'm fine with it.

What possible benefit would she get from this as a child? I wasn't aware that a minor could enter into a time share contract. Maybe as an adult she won't like to go or can't go to Disney every year. She would still have to pay for annual dues, transportation, food and park tickets so her vacations would not be free. I also thought DVC was only for 30-40years? Wouldn't it be unlikely for her to have grandkids before the membership expired?

Clearly you have come to terms with your illness (you said it- you are a nut) and have no regrets about how you spend your money but with the way you described things above it does sound as though you are perfectly fine with judging people and their belongings. And by your comment about a 3 year old rejecting the Children's Place boots it seems as though she is already starting to share your love of the more expensive things in life. Good luck with that.

That is a bit perplexing. Apparently she's annoyed that people agreed with her. LOL

So if I drove a Acura would that be better LOL How that is bragging I have no idea it was a example of how its ok to say something about people who have more then you but if someone says something about people having less its horrible .

SHE is not in a contract. I paid cash for it and its in my name and I pay the dues for her . Its for my DD to take her and if they chose not to use it they can go other places on it . I would tell you how many times a year we take her but it would be bragging LOL

I have no regrets about how I spend my money just a little shocked they were that much . HOW do you know I love the more expensive things ? this is so easy ....She saw the boots , she liked them , we wanted to get her the others and they do not look the same . She wanted that style. No biggie like I said just shocked they charge so much for a tiny little shoe

This!!!!!

hmmmmm thats all I got


I wonder if anyone would say these things IRL ?

Its just a discussion board people . I was just shocked they cost that much for a little shoe . I see others already knew , It like those stupid American Girl dolls we buy them as gifts and will continue to do so but we still cringe when we pay

Ok, I need to respond. I am the OP's BFF. I have been reading though the rude *** posts on this thread and not saying anything because she is more than capable of holding her own. But, now I feel I need to say something.

Without going into too much detail, she had a horrible start in life. She has worked her fingers to the bone for everything she has and continues to do so. How she chooses to spend her money is her business, no one else's. And in response to the posters who say that she judges others based on money, all I can say to that is LOL. I am a poor single mom with a special needs child. I drive a Kia - nothing fancy. I live in a small apartment. Guess what? She loves me and she loves my son like he is her own. I guess I should thank my lucky stars that she doesn't kick me to the curb before I apparently am too poor to be her friend

I think all of you Judgey McJudgerson's need to worry less about someone else and more about yourselves. What you may think is constructive criticism comes across a whole lot like jealousy. (And I'm guilty of it too sometimes - the difference is I would never tell her not to buy something she can clearly afford.)

Nope, they sure wouldn't say these things IRL, M, because they know it is beyond rude. People are a lot more outspoken when they are hiding behind a screen name on the Internet.

 

[crashbb]

If I knew you, and you bragged in in real life as much as you do here, I would say the same things in real life that I've written here.

Do you brag (trying to hide it - sort of), as much in real life?

 

[pacrosby]

There is a reason why ugg boots are considered unfashionable and only worn by surfers or the chronically 'daggy' in its country of origin. The clue is in the name.

Do your grand daughter a favour and put her in shoes that don't look like a couple of oven mitts slapped together.

I hate to say it but...I have to agree. I find nothing 'cute' about these boots nor do I find it appropriate to spend that kind of money on kids shoes, and it has nothing to do with being able to afford it. I could get my daughter 4-5 pairs of cute, quality shoes/boots from Marshall's for the same price. That's a no-brainer for me.

My 11 yo would LOVE a pair but she knows it ain't happening. Honestly, it surprises me the number of people who will admit to passing the whole 'brand name' mentality on to their children. Makes life unnecessarily expensive

I agree this thread has turned "beyond rude." I would not buy UGGs, but I'm afraid to tell DISers how much the Italian Boots I bought DD(now)19 when she was 3 yo.

I say, "Good for you". If it made you happy and gave you enjoyment to see your DD in her boots, who cares what anyone else thought? I buy my girls lots of "fashion" items that many here would deem "too expensive" or unnecessary. I can't possibly imagine why the opinions of random people on the internet would matter at all to me.

American Girl dolls get played with for years, so you can't compare them to a pair of boots that will be worn for a few months. If my mom spent that much money on my 3 year old, because my 3 year old wanted the ones with the buttons, I'd return them, and explain to her that they cost WAY more than the other ones. Heck, my mom shopped at Justice without a 40% coupon, and once I told her no one does that, she just returned everything when I got my next coupon (and she can afford to pay full price).

If any of my friends admitted to buying Uggs for their 3 year old, IRL, I'd tell them they're nuts.

And I'd never get an American Girl doll for a 3 year old...
