I'm always catching my sister wearing my clothes, And I would tell thats mine & she would make an excuse like. " Oh I didnt know whos it was" yet she sees me wear it all the time?? or " I bought the same shirt" when she doesnt even own a shirt like it. Or many other excuses. I don't know what to do??? I tell her to stop & yet she still does it.
Hi! Jeepers your sister is really yanking your chain! Did you actually buy the clothes with money you earned? I doubt it! And besides, haven't you been taught to share? What is the big deal? When you get older your sister will likely end up being your best friend! Should she borrow your clothes without asking? NO! But it isn't really a big deal! Shock her, compliment her on how she looks with that skirt or blouse on! Oh, that really brings out your eyes! So, I saying show some maturity, you are not four years old! You set the example of how a girl should act. Oh, and if there is a particular blouse or whatever that she likes to borrow, be nice and give it to her! Say, oh it looks so much better on you anyway, keep it! She asks why, tell her, "Silly, because I love you!" Take Care! Don
I empathize. Though my brother didn't wear my clothes, anything else that I'd bought, or was given to me as a gift, he'd take. I can't tell you how many game cube games he's stolen, scratched, and ruined, or how many controllers he's destroyed in a fit of rage... He even would cut into cakes that I'd made for parties (they'd have Happy Birthday, so-and-so on them, so he KNEW!)... He steals food that I buy with my money for me and my son- that I mark 'for the baby' with a pen... So I'm out of ideas. It's infuriating when you try to share, but they have zero respect for boundaries. But I'm out of ideas. Store your prized clothes at a friends house, or in a suitcase in the trunk of your car... I have no idea.
Goodoledon, You sound like a typical parent, or one who was a YOUNGER sibling, lol. It's not about HER having to concede and bend over all the time, it's about her sister respecting the fact that those aren't her things to just rifle through and take as her own. Hasn't her SISTER been taught to respect other's property? Hasn't she been taught not to STEAL? I totally get where she's coming from- it's not about her wearing the clothes; it's about her sister taking them without permission. I"m sure if she were to ASK, she'd loan them to her no problem.
Actually, Holisterhottie88888, try that if you haven't already. Tell her she can wear your things if she asks first, but that they ARE your things.
Actually I do by clothes with the money I earn from working, I'm always saving my money in order to buy new clothes. My sister is always blowing her money on useless things, And steals my clothes? I mean yeah if she asks me to borrow it I'll most likely allow her, but the problem is, If I let her wear like a shirt one time she autamatically asumes its hers, like if I catch her wearing it again & she never asked me I'm like why are you wearing my shirt again??? and shes like well you gave it to me, And I'm like no, I allowed you to borrow it for that one time.
most people would probably say to take her clothes or accessories, but thats not really going to help what you should do is whenever she takes your things, offer to do something to help her. example: she takes your tshirt. you simply smile and offer to help her with homework or offer to do something for her. thatll make your sister think that what she does doesnt bother you and she will eventually grow up
well ,my sugestion is just let her take the stuff, obviously she admires you and want sto be like you, so justlet her feel like she can be you for a change, I always borrow my sis's clothes, and she just laughs and says, you still look up to me. and I do. take it as both a compliment of your style, and yourself as a person.
Do what my friend did: buy a lock for your closet door. You have a key, your parents have a key. Problem solved.
That wouldnt work =/ we share a room & I hate that we do, Cause I also find her looking through my stuff too.
just tell her to quit playing stupid and buy her own sh*t cause shes getting on your nerves =)
Take her clothes, so she knows how you feel (:
