first of all, you paid a total of $235 for a 14 year old's dance? wow...pretty pathetic if you ask me. you are probably a typical, snotty mother who is using her daughter to prove to all of the other mothers in your school district how much better you are than them. way to try and buy your daughter's love. maybe if you went to a store that is designed to sell to girls her age, for just such an occasion, their return policy would have more fit your needs.
second, you KNEW that your FOURTEEN year old was starving herself to fit in her dress?? not only is that dangerous and unhealthy, but sends your daughter the message that it is acceptable to do such a thing. way to give your daughter terrible body image at such a young age. it is no wonder that there is an epidemic of eating disorders. it is because of selfish, disgusting mothers like you.
