    i have a 13 year old daughter , id be honest and tell her that you cant afford it if you cant , i have two adult children too and have always been honest with them if money was a issue , i think they have to learn you cant always have what you want !
    if you think you have to do it incase she goes to live with her dad she will just play one against the other
    my kids lost there dad at xmas and it makes me want to spoil them so much , was letting a lot go with my daughter , she got realy gobby and quite selfish
    so we had a chat !
    best to be honest with them i think
    I'm sure this is good advice, but the OP's dilemma was more than 3 years ago :)
