They have to learn sooner or later, you can't do everything. You need to economize to be able to do more things. Its just like shopping for fabric. I'd love to go to LQS all the time for my fabric,but.......I can sew more if I learn to adjust my likeing to other shops for cheaper fabrics. It's the way of life. Especially in todays economy. We don't knowwhat tomorrow will bring. At 14 she's old enough to understand. Unless she is using all her money, then I say let her go. When she runs out of money, it's a good lesson to know you need to adjust and put your prioritys in order. It's sad but thats the way things are now and none of us can change it.
