would you let her

Sharing clothes among siblings is common and expected if the family is not wealthy enough, especially in Asia. But some ground rules should be set to avoid unpleasant instances such as what you have mentioned. I feel to ask for permission to borrow is the best, and indeed, the most basic courtesies. Talk it over with your sister and make the rule clear so that there won't be a repeat in future.

Me and my sister were not used in borrowing each other's clothes. We were then working in the same company and it's not good to let our officemates see we're exchanging clothes *LOL. I remember, we had the same sweat shirt gave and bought by our father from overseas, we had an agreement that we will always use it together not to worry that others might think we're just borrowing from each other. We can borrow each others jewelries but not on clothes.

Hi Leinrix, I had no sisters...just two brothers so clothes were not much of an issue between us. We all tried to sneak things out of each others rooms like music and such. It was never pretty if we got caught. I have 4 daughters...grown now. They all went through this "borrowing without asking" stage. They argued so much about this. I would get after them for getting into other peoples things without permission. It's wrong. It is wrong to take anything of anyone's without getting their permission first.

My sister is elder to me so she never has to seek my permission for using any of my belongings. She would wear my clothes to her college and I would never even question her, but yes if I had to use any of her jewellery or may be even lotion I would do that only after she would permit me. But now things have changed she rarely use any of my things and has permitted me to use her things without asking her. My brother is younger than me. Neither he used any of my things even if it was a pen without asking me nor did I use any of his things without informing him. This is not any kind of formality or distance between us, but this is the way it has always been.

well i am not aperson who likes to share my personal things and the things to which i am attached and clothes are one of them.i don't borrow either as i don't like to give. i would never allow anyone to use my stuff that too without my permission & knowledge.it is something too personal, ok we aresisters but at the same time we do have our individual lives as an individual person and one shou;d respect that`

hello friend, I do not like using somebody's clothes and I would never appreciate it if someone is using mine, even if it is my sister. I just don't feel good about it not because it is bad, but because I am not comfortable wearing it again. I can't imagine wearing something that somebody had worn, which was rubbing their body and the cloth which has tasted that person's sweat. It just makes me go mad. I just don't like it that way. Ew! No No NO! A bog NOOO!

Me and my sister are generally about the same size, so we tend to share clothes, but it's always with permission. Sometimes if my sister comes over my place, she might borrow a hoodie or something if she got cold or something - but she would always return it. I really don't mind, unless it's my FAVORITE hoodie or something (in which case, it's hands off). To be honest, I have so many clothes that I really wouldn't even notice if someone borrowed something without my permission..

Nobody borrow anything from me unless they ask for it first. It's not that I don't share things but it's disrespectful not to ask. It's one of my biggest pet peeve. What's wrong with asking for it? Just taking it is like stealing, even though we live in the same house.

hi there leinrix! even if i'll allow her, she can't borrow my clothes and shoes because we have different sizes. she is skinnier than me and we have different shoe size, mine is larger.

This reminds me of my brother when we were in college who had used my t-shirt I washed and hanged to dry for the next day's activity I have to join. I was like a mad dog looking for it that I arrived late in the program and the only one not wearing the prescribed shirt I supposed to wear. Later in the afternoon, my brother arrived from his school wearing my t-shirt and with all his smile informed me that he had worn my shirt for he no longer have the time to ask permission from me because he was in a hurry and just grabbed whatever shirt he had found around.

for me its just fine if my sister would borrow some clothes from me as long as she have my permission using my clothes.

I allow my things to be used by family members but clothing, no. It has not been needed, once I borrowed a Levi jacket to my brother and it got lost. So, I am much more vigilant now about that kind of thing... Also, it is important that you have boundaries with your sister. I mean, you buy it for you...and there are all kinds of hygiene concerns etc. Does not appear (I may be wrong) that she is not respecting you very much. I think put your foot down and be honest with her, do not wait to get angry first. I am all for sharing, but there must be some kind of limit placed. Good luck to you with this (-:.

I don't borrow other's clothes and I don't want others to borrow my clothese either especially without my permission even if it is my own sister. If someone takes something that belongs to me they shouls atleast have the courtesy to ask for my permission beforehand and if I say yes then they can borrow it otherwise it is wrong for them to do so...

it's rude to use other people's stuff without asking permission. give her a taste of her own medicine. use her stuff, too. (do this not for payback but for her to learn a lesson). :)

With my sister, we have a silent agreement to let each other know if we are going to use a property of each other. I think it is necessary because she might be saving the shirt to use it, and might not be a good idea to borrow it at the time.

I think it's more about respect. I think it's disrespectful when you borrow something without asking. I don't know if she's your older or younger sister; regardless, she has to respect you and your property.
