[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP it's probably going to get worse once SIL has kids. My aunt is just like that. Gave her daughter the same name, dressed my cousin in exact the same outfits as my mom dressed me, sent my poor cousin to the same after school activities (cousin is very athletic, but was stuck in all the art classes with me). We are a week apart, went to the same school and looked ridiculous in the same outfits, hairstyles, etc. At 17, I got my first boyfriend and my aunt went bananas. She called my dad ( her brother)  to talk about my behavior and although I don't know what she told him, I was grounded for several weeks and got called a whore by my dad. The aunt then had my cousin ask the guy out. Etc etc etc. it was ridiculous and ruined a close relationship with my cousin.  My cousin could not endure the pressure from her mom and moved to Asia at the first opportunity. I am pretty close with my mom's side of the family, but only talk to the aunt and cousin to make my dad happy.[/quote]
