You don’t have to give excuses why you spent the money. You’re totally entitled to spend your money as you wish:)
(reminds me about my British friend who told me that her teenage sister is a size 42 shoe and said sister told her father that the only company that sells her size is tori birch) |
I disagree. I think it’s important to consider the other kids in the class who cannot afford this.
That’s why I don’t wear clothing with visible designer logos.

This, and I think it's extremely off to say 'well, I can afford to get my kids nice things, so I'll buy them lots and lots of expensive designer items but they're nice good non-entitled kids so it's fine.' What happened to taking other kids' feelings into account? Even if your kids aren't 'spoiled' in the sense that they feel entitled, why the need to further ingrain in them the sense that designer is cool and exciting?

So many things wrong with this situation...
The brand name and its meaning.
The logo is obscene.
(And yes, it was on purpose given their grand opening party listed above by another poster. The "hiking and fighting" idea is a cover and excuse. Like "juicy" was really about some tasty produce.)
The fact that we have materialistic and insecure teens and pre teens "needing" a sweatshirt that costs hundreds of dollars.
The fact that we have such insecure mothers.
The fact that people feel this push that they spend money on knockoffs (which could be unethical etc plus have their own issues- rich kids do know the difference and can still snob out the others, the desire to be the same...).
The fact that schools encourage this behavior. How many moms have been told that they should get something "in" to help their socially struggling child?
The whole situation is an issue.
When I was a kid, every popular kid had a specific sweatshirt. I thought it ridiculous to spend money on the logo. I knew we didn't have tons of money but if I asked my mom, she would have bought it. It didn't help my social status if I would have gotten it because they were snobs, bullies, and just obnoxious. We didnt get along.
Plus a fake wouldnt have helped- the truly wealthy kids boasted that their's were real and so and so had a fake.
It is just STUFF. It isn't a need. It is a want. And not one that probably reflects the values of a frum community.

It was for some wacky Friday theme but they obvs did not realize...

She may have been in camp as staff. Relax.

They do have nice styles though, but I'm sure there are other nice brands out there without the need to walking around with a pair of balls on your shoulder.

Highly unlikely. Anyways I alerted the mods so they can come to their own conclusions.

OK. The poster stating her Google version of moose knuckles has a perverted mind. My daughter contacted the company, and it's as simple as moose footprints. Everyone relax. Wear your coats in good health. And atop looking for issues that you concoct on your own. Keep your mind clean sweetie.

The slang definition is the shape of a male’s crotch.
I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want my daughter to have that image on her coat.

And I'm just curious, do you do research on every brand you buy just in case? |
People were freaking out about another brand and threatening to run them out of town because at an all women party some of the skirts were short.
