[quote=Anonymous]omg mom of two girls here (2 years apart) and OP is definitely not a troll!

Yes, it's women who do this!  Horrible!

I will tell you something, though, OP...my kids are teens now and there is a big difference between teens and 8 year olds.  My girls, at 8 and 6 (and 10 and 8) were similar, but then they went totally opposite ways and now at 16 and 14 are so different you would not know they are sisters!

Girls will do this on purpose (not conciously) to differentiate from each other, so no one is stepping on the other's territory.  So one gets into makeup, the other won't touch makeup.  Both played basketball, the younger one was better and the older one dropped basketball and got into dance.  One fancies herself as the academic and one is the sporty one.

Your worry, OP, might not be a worry...because the one you may have to worry about is the one that gets all the compliments on her looks.  (Let's call her Larla).  When developmentally she is differentiating from her sister, she may embrace all that and be "the pretty one" while her sister is "the smart one."

While "the smart one" may start differentiating by wearing old sweats and glasses, she is more likely to be "ok" in life, than Larla who may invest in her looks.[/quote]
