[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my 9 year old doesn't dress the exact way my 12 year old does.  it would be one thing if they were 13/15, but the 9 year old is a little girl, shouldn't be that hard to get them trendy things that are age appropriate.

12 year old wants some individuality, not hard to understand, especially when they are together 24/7.  and of course a younger wants to look like her, but you can assist by buying fun stuff that is different and age appropriate for both.    
I have these ages, and yes they both have t-shirts and nike shorts, but not the same ones.  I don't think they have one item the same[/quote]

I feel like all the responses are from the younger sisters.  I see why she would want to look like big sis, but she's 9?  a 12 yo dresses differently[/quote]

I am the younger sister.  I'd only get a few outfits when I was younger new and I'd only wear those and refuse my sisters as we didn't get along (a lot was due to my parents) and I was not going to wear her old clothing.  Eventually they got me a few more outfits but she always got more, still does.  (but, that's great for me as they still play favorites as she can get them now or they can go without).[/quote]

I am the PP above.  I am not trying to say the younger shouldn't get new clothes.  I am saying that it shouldn't be that hard for them to be different.  I do not make my younger DD wear anything handed down that she doesn't want to.  Most of the time, she doesn't keep the items and I donate unless they are basics or fancy dresses.   [/quote]
