Can I ask what "approaching her quince" means? Google is not my friend in this instance =)@Lily
I need advice. The eldest is approaching her quince. She wants to wear pants. Dad doesn’t want her to date until he is dead.
Is it wrong that I want her to do the dress and tiara?
It's a Coming of Age Celebration, think of it like a Debutante Ball for one. They can be very elaborate affairs with lots of food and music and dancing etcCan I ask what "approaching her quince" means? Google is not my friend in this instance =)@Lily

I wouldn't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do. It's her quince. It's hers to enjoy and for everyone else to spoil if they make it about their wishes.

Quince means 15 in Spanish. My boyfriend’s eldest female child is going to be turning 15 next year and (dad is Mexican and mom is Columbian) they celebrate this as a coming of age similar to what white people celebrate as a Sweet 16.
The word quince is short for Quinceañera. The girl turning 15 is the Quincañera.
I’m sure Lily or Flea can fill in any gaps for me… my daughter is 1/2 Mexican and didn’t want the quince or sweet 16 party…she took the cash and went to Europe, Cuba, and Thailand…. and I was ok with that.

Nope, I'm an introvert and the idea horrified me. My daughter was the same way. I offered her a quince, then a sweet 16...no interest. When she turned 18 I convinced her to have a party with her friends at home.
Our birthday, we share a bday, is in the winter so I told her to have a party that was super casual. Had the boys dig a hole in the dirt, taught them to chop wood (none of them knew how), and had a bonfire. She went to a performing arts high school so she had her bestie male friend play his guitar...the kids sang, ate pizza, chips, drank soft drinks...no booze. I supervised but mostly stayed inside while coming out periodically to make sure they weren't up to any trouble.
They eventually came in and were spread all over the house just having a good time. More singing and adolescent silliness, but no fights, no bs. As the kids left, I heard one say "That was the best party ever."
She was so grateful and it is her last and best memory of her bestie. He was tragically killed when he was hit by a train within a week from the party. She was devastated but much later was happy she'd had that last memory of him playing and singing...

I really have no issue with the pants… except she has never been exposed to trying these gorgeous dresses on. I just want to take her for a fun day of trying them on so she makes an informed decision is all.
I have tried these dresses on with my own daughter when she turned down both parties. We had a BLAST doing that.
The eldest will be doing the church ceremony. I prefer that she wear the princess dress for that ceremony and then change for the reception.

Yeah, it's stupid amount of money. I kind of feel that I was culturally removed from it too. Too many generations here in the US. My aunt was the only relative that I knew had one and that was in the late 1950s.
My sister revived the tradition with her girls. I thought it was a lot of money to show off for people that you really don't give one fuck about...but I was the good "supportive" aunt and did my part.

the worst part of this is that I can feel your family endured horrific racism and that is why you can’t speak Spanish fluently
I also find it beautiful because your mother and grandmother didn’t resonate with this being necessary for YOUR journey
You married pocho? ¿Que No?

I can’t speak Spanish cuz it wasn’t my moms first language. I learned what I can speak from school. Honestly, the only racism I’ve experienced is from the paisa’s because I don’t speak Spanish a 100 mph. I understand it 100 percent tho lol
