[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with 12:14.  If the child purchased it him/herself, or if it was a gift, or if it is underwear, then it is his or hers.  But if it was purchased with parental money then the child should be gracious enough to share.  That doesn't mean that the garment can be mistreated or poorly used.  And it does mean that the garment needs to be cleaned before it is returned in the condition in which it was received.  Also, you can't take the shirt of the other person's back nor the shoes off of her feet.

Prom dress bought with Mom's credit card?  Shared.  Hello Kitty t-shirt received as a birthday gift from Aunt Margo?  Not shared.  Jack Rogers sandals?  Shared.  Fluffy bunny slippers that she got for Christmas?  Not shared.[/quote]
That is crazy.
If I buy dd1 something it is for her.
And I darn sure am not making them share shoes.[/quote]

Hey, if I am spending $150-300 a pair of sandals (read upscale flip flops) from Jack Rogers or Tory Burch then heck, yes, I think a younger sister should be able to ask her older sister if she can wear them.  And her older sister better say "yes" [i]unless[/i] she has bought them herself or they were a gift AND [i]even then[/i] I would hope she could be generous enough to say "yes, you may borrow my sandals".  All this me, me, me stuff makes me sick.[/quote]

Then don't spend the money or tell her it comes with that condition.  If the oldest ones wants to share, then yes.  If not, she shouldn't be forced to share.  If the oldest outgrows the item and wants to donate, then her sisters should get dibs.  But other than that, the item belongs to whoever it was bought for.  If you want them to share,  then you have to say:  I'll buy these flip flops, but the one pair is to be shared among the 3 of you.  [/quote]
