Does your teen swap clothes with friends?

Girls specifically.

Now that I've got the last load of laundry in....

Whenever the two girls go for a sleepover or even just spending a day at friends they invariably dont come back with the clothes they went in.

Sometimes they just leave stuff, other times they swap an item or two with friend.

But what happens is friend gets their clothes back pretty quick, ours take weeks to get theirs.

We also have a bag in the airing cupboard with about 50 single socks in. Nobody can tell me who's are who's because most of them belong to somebody else!

Same - I have hundreds of socks with no partners. Where do they all go?
DD1 never swaps clothes, but DD2 and her mates swap a lot. I get a bit cross when it's something special I've bought her, but don't mind if it's stuff she's bought for herself.

same, i cant believe they actually want the socks back!

DD1 and her ranger mates borrow stuff if they get cold wet and muddy, but not for fashion.

DD2 hasn't been tempted yet, I think she knows I wouldn't approve. (The rangers only exchange stuffy stuff and rerun it as soon as it's washed)

DD1 never done anything of the sort i don't think but DD2 does borrow/let other borrows stuff for certain things, although it's mainly shoes Hmm Wouldn't really say they swap things or it's very often though, just help each other out!

My dd doesn't.
ds occasionally lets his friends (who are girls) wear his jumpers or whatever but doesn't wear their stuff-
