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

I'd ask myself would i pay for my bio child if yes then pay for her she asked you cause she wants to spend time with you
