Dear Fonseca
My family went to the mall this past weekend and saw several back to school sales already in progress. My 11 year-old son is begging my husband and I to buy him a $200 pair of sneakers. He says if he doesn't have the shoes his classmates will tease him. My husband refuses to buy the shoes and says our son needs to grow thick skin as he enters sixth grade. I tend to disagree and think we should get him the shoes to boost his confidence and do everything we can to make sure he's not bullied. Should we buy the shoes or not? Who's right... me or my husband?
