To women/parents - my daughter wants ugg boots?

i wouldn't usually buy my daughter expensive shoes unless its a special occasion (birthday, christmas) but i recently had a divorce and she has asked me for a pair, does anyone think i should get them for her?

To women/parents - my daughter wants ugg boots?
just because of the divorce, no i dont think thats a good ides.


If you think she deserves them then yes, go ahead, but when you give them to her dont say "i know its been hard for you", or "i know you've had a tough time, with the divorce and everyting" because she may milk it and think mom'll give me anyting i want...
Reply:No I Dont think so.


Because if you get them she will keep asking for stuff because she'll think you can afford them.


Maybe get her fake ones.


They cost £20 from a average shoe shop on the high street.





Tell her you will wait for christmas / her birthday to get some real ones so she has something good to open

Reply:I really can't tell you whether to buy them. That is your decision. What does the divorce have to do with it? Are you doing it to pacify her because she's upset about the divorce? I think that's the wrong way to go. It won't solve anything. Talk to her and comfort her instead.
Reply:I got a pair of real Uggs from ebay for £40!! Bargain! I wouldnt pay over £200 for a pair of boots, not ever. So if you think she would appreciate them go bargain hunting online.
Reply:maybe some kind of bonding present would be better a trip to the zoo
Reply:maybe you shouldn't get here the actual UGGS. you just had a divorce!! come on! i got a pair off of american eagle for like 11 bucks. just search online for some that aren't as expensive.
Reply:yeah....their the fashion man....
Reply:don't let her use the divorce as a reason to ask you for expensive things. she knows this is a hard time and you are more willing to cave. she may not be doing it on purpose, or even realize she is doing it. when parents get divorced sometimes children try to guilt their parents into getting them things and a lot of the times parents will because they already feel guilty enough for having to put their child trough the experience of having divorced parents. like i said she may not realize this is what she is doing, but since you normally wouldn't get her these expensive boots, don't think that just because of the recent divorce it is ok to now change how you buy gifts. tell her she may get them for her birthday or another special occasion as usual, and instead you can go spend some quality time with her. make sure to talk to your daughter about how she feels about the divorce, and keep and open line of communication when she feels she wants to talk to you.
Reply:get a good pair or knockoffs. thats what my mom did. i looove them. they were 25 dollars at marshals. they are bearpaw so their real fur. they are so cute. everyone says they look just like uggs, just so much less money.
Reply:i relly dont thinkgetting her 100 dollar boots bcuz of a family will solve anything with her feelings. Instead of getting boots if u relly think u must do somethinmg for her,try having a special lunch.
Reply:Ugg Boots are incredibly expensive and in a few months it will be warm and she won't be able to wear them until next fall. If she is young and there is a chance she will grow out of them by next fall, you should probably wait. It is probably a tough time for her, but maybe surprise her with something else and tell her to wait until back to school shopping to get the Uggs.
Reply:yes get them for her it will cheer her up and everybody basicly has atleast 2 pairs of uggs now a days
Reply:Well i think it depends on your daughter. If she has shoes that she loves, and she's worn them over and over again, i believe that she shouldn't get them because in a matter of weeks maybe months, she spoil them and ask you for a brand new pair which will cost you ( if she wants the knee lenght ones) over £200. BUt if your willing to pay for it........go ahead. On the otherhand get her fake pair, but still made of sheep skin.
Reply:Just because you had a divorce doesn't mean you should buy her UGG boots. My mum wouldn't even buy me them for my birthday.. if she did I would get nothing else. We need to learn the value of money I think and I know I have! I still have them nice flashy goods but only occasionally but I think UGGs go over the limit lol.


In the end it's your decision and this is my opinion.. =] x
Reply:Tell her she can earn them by doing chores around the house. If you do decide to get them look at deals online they are way cheaper than the high street.
Reply:Don't buy them because you feel guilty, she will expect it everytime otherwise. Get her a pair of £30 ones to see if she even bothers looking after those first, as a pair of £200 boots do take a lot of care to keep nice. One scuff and they look shabby
Reply:Yes you should, Deffinatly!
Reply:If you can afford them , to me they are totally overpriced , it might help if she upset about the divorce , you could get her to promise to help you in return , gifts that are earned are also more appreciated
Reply:uggs are not something i would spend alot of money on even tho I love designer labels . you can buy look alikes in dunnes primark priceless shows basicly anywhere lol and they are normaly £10 no need for the label she couls get something so much better for that money.

Reply:I'd say its a good idea, particularly from a practical perspective. I have a pair which I got nearly a year ago, and I wear them every other day at least. They are supportive, comfortable, versatile (they regulate body heat temp, so can be worn for summer and winter).





In terms of your recent divorce, it would be a nice thing for your daughter, as long as she knows this is not a regular thing.





Good luck and take care :)
Reply:No. They have become far too widespread and common. No-one can tell the originals from the cheap fakes anymore.





Get her a pair of really nice low heeled brown leather biker boots instead - far more in fashion and very flattering.
Reply:well .. as a girl i think there amazing .. verywarm and stylish . but i understand that they are very expensive .But after that divorce i geuss u should get them because she is probly going through a rough time
Reply:as a teenage who has ugg boots. I would say that is a good buy because they are fashionable and warm. If you think they are too much then you can make a deal with her. Tell her youll buy her them for what you think they are worth, and she has to pay the rest if she really wants one, plus while you make that deal you guys can bond and she will learn a bit about money managment and see how bad she wants them. If she really does, then she will save up and buy them fot herself and enjoy them even more because she worked hard for them





Hope this helps.
Reply:yh i think you should because they're the most comfortable shoes everrrrr haha. you can pick them up on trendsdepot.com for pretty cheap, that's where i got mine and they're awesome :) quite a lot cheaper than everywhere else too.
Reply:Only if it's for the right reasons. You might feel a bit guilty for the current circumstances (which is understandable), but you can't make that an excuse for buying her the boots when in any other situation wouldn't. If you were to buy them, then it can escalate into a regular thing and your daughter might use this as an emotional blackmail technique (not in a malicious way). It's subconscious. Wait until her birthday or special occasion. And make sure she feels emotionally secure. You can't buy her happiness unfortunately.
Reply:ok. Nearly all of my friends wear them, including my sisters (i don't.) They buy the fake ones for about £10/15 and they get wrecked within a month. Why not buy her a fake pair before the expensive real ones to see if she can look after them
Reply:i would just get her the fake ones,you can get them in primark from about £6-£8,tesco also do some nice ones for £10.the tesco ones don't tend to turn inwards either.don't feel guilty for not buying real ones,i think they are well over-priced!
Reply:Don't get them for her if you are doing it just because of your divorce, you don't want to give her the wrong impression that she gets things when unexpected things occur. If you want to buy them for her do it because she has been good, needs them, received good grades, or as a way to go shopping together and bond together and get those for her while out shopping as a surprise.


good luck!
Reply:no way to expensive, just tell her they are made of sheepskin, and that cruel to kill sheep to make shoes, then buy her a [air of srunchy ankle boots, much better looking :)
Reply:Maybe you should...to make her feel better. They are pretty expensive so you might want to think of fake uggs? She might treasure them knowing you love her...you never know
