    Wink Buying things the same...or not?

    Ok, so this may sound a slight bit silly....but as I'm sitting here bored whilst DS naps I'm online shopping for him & the new bubs. We know that bubs no2 is a boy also & we only plan to have 2, so I'm looking at some things on sale & looking to get 2!

    So here's my silly question for those with 2 or more kids of the same gender. Do you like to buy them the same thing to avoid arguments etc, or different so they "know" what one is there's etc.

    I'm looking at a cute car organiser that I've wanted for a while as we travel lots, there is a lion & an elephant............and I find myself wondering hmmmm do I just get 2 of the same or get each an individual. Does it sometimes creat more arguments if it's different or the same can't believe I'm debating this LOL.

    But I hope someone else is as bored as me & has time to answer LOL! thanks for reading.

    i reckon get 2 different ones, either way kids will have something to argue about

    In my family there were three girls & a boy and we regularly got the same things but in different colours. For example the girls all got a doll to lay on our beds, the oldest was yellow, mine was pink & the youngest was blue (to match our rooms) but if we got anything else the same they were generally in those colours.

    I reckon even if you were to get the same thing, they'd still argue about something or rather.
    Either way there will most likely be arguements. Lol.

    I'd prob get one of each.
    Have fun with your online shopping.
