BD8 stuck to it and got her money from DH. So proud of her.

DH, BD8 and I all hashed out the little debacle over her working to earn extra money while I was out of town. He only agreed to pay her $7 and she did several bigger things, like vacuuming out his truck. He complained that she specifically told him she wanted the money to buy books and that's the only reason he agreed to pay her "so much." But BD8 kept after him and got her money after all. I was pretty proud of her for standing up to her daddy and not getting trampled on. Maybe she'll come out of this step situation OK after all!

Good for her! Better for her to figure out now how to call out her dad. Its only going to get worse as she gets older since SD has the spotlight.

Good for her! That is great. And I agree with what Helena said. She needs to learn now how to stand up to him.

Did you ever have an adult discussion on the matter? About how in-equitable he is with the girls?

What was his rational for giving SD money for a new laptop no questions asked, and then denying bd the 7 dollars she actually earned
