I only say you deserved it because you shouldn't be giving into your kid like that. Next time ground her instead and take away her stuff.

What a brat. Parent needs to discipline.

I would have said "Ok. Suit yourself. walk home." If she wants the purse, she has to earn it herself. Babysitting, mowing lawns, helping an elderly neighbor with chores and errands, walk the dogs in the neighborhood. What a brat you have raised. Only you have yourself to blame.

The same happened to me with my Little sister. Except she's white and Black. We have no resemblance

Look at the positive side, you have neighbors that care about the safety of children to get this looked into!

wow thats how kids become popular these days? thats not how i remembered it in elementary school (im turning 19)

There is a certain level of freedom once you are sure you will never be popular. It is actually quite liberating.

YDI. You need to discipline your daughter if you don't want these kind of things happening.

If you actually bought the purse, after you were manipulated into agreeing, then YDI.

Who to blame, kids or parents? I say parents are more to blame, these are the kind of people who fail to take into account why their parents were so hard with discipline and 'tough love' (so they wouldn't turn into narcissistic spoilt morons), and decide that they aren't going to be like that to their own kids. Your kids should never be considered your friends, you let your friends get away with worse behaviour because it's their money and their consequences.
