    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My boys are often dressed the same BECAUSE they want to be, I often have to buy same clothes for them as we have dummy spits if they dont have same! I have no issue with it, and also DS1 will pick a top and DS2 will go to find same or similar eg both mickey mouse or wiggles or same colour)

    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.
