Raising My Girls

When they’re little they tend to overlook the clothing that you put on them.  As they grow into their own and become more independent they start showing interest in picking out their own clothes.  Then you hit early puberty and the clothing goes flying across the bedroom every single morning.

My youngest doesn’t really care what I put on her.  She has a few favorites that she enjoys, but if those aren’t the ones I choose then so be it.  She is happy in a dress or jeans. 

My middle daughter is starting to create her own “style” when it comes to clothing.  Some things she puts together makes me cringe, but she’s the one who has to wear it and I try to bite my tongue.  LOL  And don’t get me started on her ideas of a good hairstyle.

Now, my oldest daughter, she’s in a group all her own.  She has reached the point where she does have some nice style and always looks good in what she puts together.  Her biggest problem is trying on numerous outfits before she’s ever ready to go anywhere.  She also has this routine of roaming around the house looking for clothing.  She’ll check the dryer, she’ll check the laundry basket, and if she finds nothing there she’ll finally go through her own closet.  What’s really funny is that she’ll do all of this even if every stitch of her clothing is clean and in her room.

Sometimes the older girls’ bedroom looks like a hurricane hit it.  Clothes are strewn throughout, flung on the floor, spread across beds, and sticking out of dresser drawers.  It’s craziness, but I know the feeling because I use to do the same thing.  LOL!  You can never find that perfect outfit, even if what you have on WAS the perfect outfit last week.

Girls and clothes, what can ya do!
