[quote=Anonymous]Why can't you keep saying no? I am not sure why this is such a big deal. It is your sister and she feels comfortable enough to tell you she likes your things and wants them. Say no, and maybe once in a while get something nice for her. My sister who is just a year younger asks me for stuff and money all the time. She has more disposable income(she is single, has a good job, and has no children yet, and I am home with my babies for the moment so our money can only go so far). I almost always say no, but it does not bother me. Once in a while, I give her a couple of hundred dollars or buy her something she can comfortably afford(she makes six figures so she is comfortable) She buys stuff for my kids, her nieces, so it is not that she is self absorbed. We had a dynamic growing up in which we shared clothes and other stuff, and it looks like she wants to kind of keep it. I don't see why that is an issue. [/quote]
