Step daughter - asking to get her nails done

Hey Mamas!

My step daughter recently asked me if I could take her to get a mani and Pedi. I said yes I could make that happen. But I'm wondering who should pay?? Should I have her use her own Christmas money since I didn't ask her to go or should I pay for them.

What would you do in this situation.
She is 12 for reference.

Thanks!

I would make a deal with her to pay for the mani and Pedi but any extra like designs comes out of her money.

I would treat her to nails if it’s close to a holiday or her birthday is coming up soon or if she’s doing really good in school or behaving well at home. But if she wants to keep it as a regular thing, that’s probably when I would have her pay for her nails getting done!

As others have said I’d pay. Girls day out, treat her at that age 🥰🥰

Thanks ladies! That's what my gut was telling me to do. And if she wants to continue to get them done she can use her own money.

Either works, their Christmas money is for treats outside of your budget

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Why is it so hard it to make friends?!

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are so horrible!

I’m in Woodstock, Georgia and so hard to connect and find friends a just enjoy the park with and motherhood.
