Under extreme pressure from Mom, I leant my then teenage daughter about $120 bucks for Dave Mathews tickets at Foxboro for her and some friends, with the understanding that she would repay me when she collected from her friends. (I think they were about $30 a piece.)
You can bet I never saw the money, and she misplaced the tickets, though she eventually found them in time. She accused me of confiscating them (they were of no value to me) and it led to a lot rancor. Her attitude was such that I have never, ever, loaned her money again. If she needs something (she’s 28 and married with kids now) I’ll give it to her, but will NOT ever lend her a nickel. As Polonius warned, loan oft loses both itself and friend.
She is not your friend, she is your kid. Seriously? $120.00? If your daughter only cost you $120.00 that was not repaid, I'd say that you might be the luckiest Dad around. .
Darn, if my parents held a grudge for all the money I borrowed or cost them when I was a teenager, we would still not be on speaking terms.
Count your blessings, and let it go.
Cost me $100 grand to put my kid through college.
120 bucks is a joke.
You’re doing her a favor. I wouldn’t want to owe someone like you money either...
