Sunday afternoon I was doing some shopping for a an event I have coming up in a couple of months, and while in the dressing room, I heard a few different mother/daughter conversations. From the conversations, I could tell they were dress shopping for prom.
And none of them seemed to be happy conversations.
They disagreed about what looked good.
They disagreed about what looked bad.
They disagreed on pretty much everything, I think.
Why is shopping for prom filled with so much angst, especially when a mother is involved? Is it that tastes differ so differently between generations? Is it the daughter wanting to have control and the mother not wanting to give it to her? I remember getting in dressing room arguments with my mom, but I don't really remember why. It almost seemed like if she liked something, I was intent on not liking it. Based on principle alone, maybe?
Did you or do you shop well with your mom? Have any prom dress shopping horror stories to share? I can't even remember shopping for my dress. Perhaps it was such a bad experience I blocked it out?
