    I am cruel to my girls and I will continue to be.

    That is what I was told by a lady for dressing my girls in the same clothes. If that is cruel then so be it.

    If she had of looked closer she would have seen they were not wearing the exact same outfit.

    I think it's cute to dress your kids in matching clothes

    My boys are 4 and 1 and I'm loving the fact that DS2 is now out of the "baby" clothes and can shop in the boys section so I can buy them matching outfits, they have matching jarmies too

    Seriously? I think she needs to come up with some bigger issues to worry about!

    My girls like to pick clothes that are similar to each other so pfft to her!

    I always give my Mum stick about dressing us the same when we were younger, but really it was cute and I know I'll likely to be just as bad. When you're little you like to look the same. It's only once you get older that you hate it, or at least that's how me and my sisters were.

    My girls often wear very similar outfits.
    They both have their own personalities and i don't do it on purpose but it's often jeans, black boots, striped long sleeve & they both have the most gorgeous THICK RED WARM jackets....
    DP says "don't dresse them the same" but it's not on purpose and DD1 often picks her own clothes.

    Who cares what anyone else says, it's far from cruel, not dressing them at all or putting them in unwashed, smelly & holey clothes would be cruel.

    Pfft, they're dressed! There are much, much worse things than looking similar to your sister. Did she even give a reason why it's apparently cruel?

    I know two little girls who love dressing the same, it's adorable. I also know two girls who couldn't care less how their mum dressed them, so they're often in similar clothes and they're far from scarred by it!

    I am cruel to my girls and I will continue to be.

    I dress DS1 and DS2 the same! But hard finding different outfits when they both wear the same size! (DS1 and 2 both in sz 10 shoes, size 5 tops, size 4 bottoms and size 5 pj's) dh first was like oh no, but now knows they like being dressed the same or similar, but we do get those comments or asked if their twins often.

    I'm a big disliker of dressing kids the same. Can't pinpoint why exactly but it just doesn't sit right with me.

    Me too. BUT beating your kids with a stick is cruel, dressing them the same is not. That's a pretty dumb thing to say to you. I can't believe some of the things people think are OK to comment on.

    Meh, I've done it. Back when the girls were little they had a couple things the same. Often if one wore something the other would ASK to wear it too. Just because they liked that item.

    Even now they both have a dress the same. They're 10 & almost 7. If they choose to wear them on the same day, I wouldn't care! They are at an age now where its THEIR choice. They were both with me when I bought the dresses & were both happy, even though DD1 hates DD2 copying her.

    I also used to buy the same outfit, but in different colours. & I still do that on occasion. Again, sometimes they just choose to wear the same thing. And even as young as 2, they can make that choice!

    I used to love when my cousin and i dressed the same when we were younger, we used to try and tell people we were twins....pity we were blonde and brunette and tall and short...

    Most of the time my girls are wearing different things one loves bright pink and black the other purple but occasionally they get the same outfits and they love it, I think it's cute. More often they will both have a Minnie mouse clothes on but in different styles. We get the twin comments too even though they are 2 years apart.
