My 10 year old stepdaughter wont stop wearing my 9 year old daughter clothes. This bothers me because the 10 year old will wear them back to her mom house and I will never see them again. This has been an ongoing situation for the last 4 years. It seem all her clothes and my daughters clothes end up and the other house. Then when I ask her mom to send clothes back she says she doesn't have any. I just want to scream...

So over the past 4 months I've bought my stepdaughter around 6 pairs of new shorts. the other day she tried to wear a pair of my daughters shorts to school and I said no and put them away. Mind you she had clean shorts in her dresser. This made her angry and cop an attitude with in return cause me and my husband to get into a big argument. He says I treat my daughter different than the other two girls. He's right, I do. I love his daughters but they act differently than my daughter does. They yell, talk back and my daughter doesn't. She listens to me and my husband. I ready to throw in the towel. Am I overacting about the clothes? Please help

I've done that. I don't care if she wears my daughters clothes as long as I know she's staying at my house. We have my SD every other day so I have to put her in clean clothes to go to school the next day. Then her Mom will send her to school in crappy clothes keeping the good ones.

Yep, time to go to the thrift store! Also, at 10,I would think your SD is old enough to bring the clothes back herself. Does her BM still have to pick her clothes out for her?

Take anything mom sent and put her name in the seams, do the same with what you buy for her. Each girl gets up gets dressed and you check for names and train your DH to do the same! Simple enough. I don't blame you for not wanting to buy clothes to get lost at BM's. It is not right. I am assuming you work to buy clothes for your dd and or get cs that is meant for her things. Screw bm! She is to buy her own and if she does not want to well just buy enough for your home and if kid is unhappy to bad! I never had the clothes I wanted growing up and I survived and I can now buy what I want or pinch pennies if I choose to. Big whoop!
