At what age would you allow your daughter to wear heels?

My oldest is 14 and has been bugging me recently to pick her up some high heels for her to wear out with her friends this fall. When I asked her why she wants them she says she is a high school girl now and wants to look more mature and adult like. I told her I'd think about it. What does everyone think?

its not up to parents to give children permission what shoes they can wear at any age

@TJNewton ??? Really how so? I don't see her putting down the money to buy them

@Kathryn05 She is your daughter let her have what she wants if you say to her no you cant wear them but you can have these she will grow to resent and hate you in later life do you really want that ?

You are supposed to spoil you children not restrict them so let her have her shoes ok

@TJNewton She's used to asking her parents permission to wear things though. She knows she has a dress code and that it is important for her to follow it.

@Kathryn05 She is also growing older and wants to get with the times she may decide she might not want them later on but let her have what she wants

@TJNewton What you just said, about spoiling your kids and not restricting them. That's ridiculous, and you know it.

SW-User

TJNewton · M

@TheMagicPill Yes my daughter is now 22 and she is a nurse why ?

TheMagicPill

@TJNewton So I'm just wondering, when she was 10, and she possibly wanted crazy heels, did you just say, yes! Absolutely do whatever you want? Come on..

TheMagicPill

@TJNewton Well welcome to the ridiculous club then.

@TheMagicPill I had a childhood that was happy we didnt have much but we were happy
If i was in a position to give my children what they wanted then i would do so
And when my daughter was 10 she never asked for high heel shoes

TheMagicPill

@TJNewton Ok so you just missed my point completely. But have a nice day anyway.

@TheMagicPill Hmmm

@TJNewton That's crazy, but not an uncommon idea these days. Little Johnny and Jane have the "right" to do anything darn thing they please!
