sister and "copying"

I have sister who seems to think she owns certain things, so if she does it/owns it/wears it no one else is allowed to. Examples are she bought something in her house and I commented that I liked it and that I might get one and she said I wasn't allowed to! Another is she uses a certain website to buy clothes and said no one else is allowed to shop on there, they are going out type dresse s which I don't go out clubbing anyway but she said if I ever wanted to she would "let me" choose one of the dresses from there. When a friend was admiring the dresses and asking where she got them from she cut the tags out of the dresses so she wouldn't she got them from. Now the recent thing is she has use glitter wallpaper in her room (very common at the moment and I know not to everyone's taste) i wanted to do it to a wall in my house and she has said I'm "not allowed" because it's " copying " wibu to ignore her. I realise how immature this sounds but this isn't coming from a 30 yr old woman.

Oh ffs, why are you even indulging this behaviour?

It's silly but otoh why do you want the same stuff as her, there's literally millions of things to choose from, problem solved Smile

The clothes wasn't an issue for me. Like I said I don't go clubbing. She announced that no one was allowed to buy from the site . I never mentioned her clothes their not my style . Just saying that she banned people from using the site. But since people have said people having the same stuff as them would bother them it seems she isn't alone! I clearly stated i had liked TWO things of hers, the picture and the wallpaper that's hardly "copying everything she does."

It’s clearly an issue for your sister, so don’t ask and she can't “ban” you from anything.

Just buy what you like.

If you allow her to dictate what you can and can't do, you're as crazy as she is. Tell her to fuck off.

Some of the comments on this post are ridiculous, OP was clearly giving context to show how unreasonable her sister has been and is still being over the fact she'd complimented her on two things.

I'd do and get whatever you wanted regardless if she has similar or even the same, you're your own person and she needs to grow up and realise that, what's she actually going to do, apart from make herself look insane that she's throwing a tantrum over her own sister having something similar?

Hand her the five Gs: good god girl, get a grip.

Then buy/do/paper whatever you want.

Hmm for your sister.

I can't get beyond glitter wallpaper.

Is this a thing now? Shit!

PinkFluffyFairy · 01/06/2018 04:18

There is nothing wrong with glitter wallpaper!

I'd be tempted to "accidentally" get a few small things exactly the same as she has purely to wind her up, the daft cow.
