Answer 1

wow $339 bucks for a winter coat. Dam...I'd be pissed to. I could name a million things I would have rather done with that money.

Answer 2

Usually you can return something even without a receipt. Call
the store and ask about their return policy. If they can't return
money usually after 30 days is the limit. The sometimes give you a gift card that you an give your dad and it can be used for more than one item or for things the family needs. Good
managers are usually nice about returns. If you are not comfortable with this please ask you dad if you can do anything to earn the money to help pay back . Parents want
to please their children even when they can't afford it sometimes. Your dad should have given you a limit to spend
on your jacket and in the future you should discuss this before
you go shopping. This will save you both anger and embarrassment in the future. Good Luck! Please don't feel bad or stupid you are a nice person or you would not be so
concerned about your dad's feelings.

Answer 3

Ur dads a beat off, if he didn't want you to buy it he should have said something. He is being a passive aggressive stubborn *******. I feel since he wont talk to you maybe write him a note and leave it somewhere he will find it. In this letter you should write how your sorry don't mention his wrong doing that will just make this a bigger problem then it is. Hopefully he will apologize for not confronting you about the jacket in the first place. Don't feel bad about it, if you can some how pay for it that would be good but it shouldn`t be a big deal.

Answer 4

Talk to your dad, let him know that buying the jacket was rather selfish and ask him how he feels about spending so much money on a jacket. Would it make you feel better to donate to charity, Salvation Army? Probably not, then you'd be without a jacket. I guess the lesson learned in all of this is think before you spend (or spend daddy's money). Your father, however, should have let his feelings be known before you got to the counter.

Answer 5

get the receipt and return it. Too much money for a jacket..
what were you thinking? Tell your dad you made a mistake.
And that is really silly of your dad, not returning something . Its $339 dollars. I could buy my whole family jackets with $339 and still have money to go out to dinner, and there is 5 of us! you should feel stupid!

Answer 6

Why can't you exchange or return it? Talk to your dad and let him know that you now realize that purchase was wrong. Maybe he can talk to the store manager and get them to take the jacket back if you haven't worn it or removed the tags. Your dad will appreciate that you regret the decision. If you can't return it, even if you father talks to the manager, and you or your dad paid for it with a credit card, decline to pay the credit card for that purchase only. The credit card companies have alot of power and if you let them know in advance you dispute the charge they will give you some time to work it out. If you absolutely can't return it, try to re-sell the item on e-bay and give the proceeds back to your dad. Then think twice the next time you feel you need such an expensive item. I never paid that for even multiple pieces of clothing in one shopping trip. Sheesh.

Answer 7

yikes, thats a lot. but i agree with the first person, get your mom to talk to him. maybe he was just baffled by the amount. but if its a good winter jacket it should last a couple years and make its worth. but if youre really concerned about it.. save up some money and give him half the cost of it.. (if you have a job) but if your dad could affort to buy a jacket that much in the first place, i dont know why he would have a problem with it. if it was too much, he probably would have set a limit to begin with. was he talkative before? i would just give him half and call it even. thats what i would do.

Answer 8

Go to your dad and tell him that you realize that you've made a mistake about the coat. Ask him if he'll let you pay him back for half of it. Then work to earn the money or do chores until you both feel that things are right between you again.

And do it before the weather gets too cold. You'd hate to go through the winter wearing a jacket that makes you feel cold instead of warm. :)

Answer 9

go talk to your dad and say I feel really bad I spent that much on the coat and your reaction afterwards seemed to agree.

How can there be no way to bring it back? Don't you have a receipt? Anyways, if you feel so bad, do something about it, unless dad says no problem.

Sell some stuff on Ebay or gt a part-time job and give him 1/2 the money back. Next time, check out the price tag. In general, that's a lot...but to a debutante like Paris Hilton, that's cheap.

Answer 10

Don't spend so much money on things if you are going to feel bad wasting your parents money. Or don't feel so bad since he allowed you to spend that much money on it, the silent treatment shows he was upset or mad a bit but I don't know how or if you coerced him into buying it for you, IE made a scene or pleaded with him.

If you did those things then you should feel bad for using your dad as a 'bank' and extorting him for your affection.

You could talk to him about it letting him know you were 'wrong' to buy the jacket because it was so expensive and you won't do that again. It really depends on how you got it, did you just pick it and he said okay or did you plead and goad him into getting it for you. If you used guilt to get him to buy it for you then you should apologize for using him like that otherwise you *might* talk to him about being more responsible with your wants vs what you need and the cost of them.

Answer 11

Talk to your dad, and explain that you're sorry you spent so much on the coat. Tell him you love it, you're happy to have it, but guilt at spending so much is eating you up. Then leave it in his court. If he's a mature father, he'll blow it off and appreciate your sharing your feelings.

BE SURE he knows you love the coat and you will take good care of it... nothing will make him feel worse than if he thinks you don't like the coat or your guilt is keeping you from wearing it. That's just money wasted.
