Daughter over son

Go Phoenix, go Phoenix, go Phoenix!!! With you 100%!! We've only lost our youth - not our marbles!

Liza80 I think your mum is right. You do seem to love your daughters much more than your son. This will come back to haunt you in years to come as your son will hold a grudge against his sisters for always having the best shoes. Kids can be cruel and I pity your son having to carry a Primark or Shoe Zone carrier bag when your daughters are carrying a much more expensive brand. Absolute transparent favouritism.

Three cheers for phoenix

I'm with phoenix on this

Liza80 is your son Benjamin Button? I only ask because he was 12 on your other thread and now he seems to be 11? [innocent face]

phoenix Don't be shy. Tell us what you really think.

PS, You are not being unreasonable, just irritating and totally transparent.

HTH.

Now SOD OFF

Oh ffs! I think I made my own stance clear via a post on your last thread on the subject! Except in that thread it was Shoe Zone that you referred to, now it seems to be Primark!

Please, please either go away or (I can't think what, but I would like you to do it anyway)

Or delete both of them.

Please, HQ, would you either delete this thread or combine it with the one on exactly the same subject?

Or indeed, anybody. . . . . .

Why don't you seek the advice of Mumsnetters? www.Mumsnet.com.

Does anybody remember a kids' TV programme called "Why don't you?"

Liza, Why don't you go and do something interesting instead?

I might get him shoe zine ones for £5 think they could be better

Deeda and FarNorth, perhaps you missed this thread:

Daughters of 14 and 15 are quite old enough to have your financial situation explained to them and to understand that you can't always afford things that they want. It won't be that many years before they have to do their own budgeting so now would be a good time to start.

Don't buy vans, then. Your daughters will get used to it.

I know but I can only spend £3 on his school shoes every term

It's up to you to buy him decent shoes, not rubbish ones.

Daughters 15 & 14 will refuse primark ones and tell my son 11 he is cool in primark ones and believes them kids are fine with it it's just other parents judge

Reported.

Why? why don't you just buy them both the same thing? It only seems fair..

Once their vans wear out, you should be buying shoes of medium cost for all your children, I'd have thought.

Why do you think it's okay to buy expensive shoes for your daughters and cheapo ones for your son?

How ?
