Clothes, Teenagers and Kids: Clashing

Clashing

By Anonymous - 15/09/2014 17:52 - Ireland - Dublin

Today, my daughter came home in tears, completely distraught. It took half an hour to convince her to tell me what was wrong. What horrific thing happened to her? One of her friends wore the same outfit as her to the movies, and apparently that's a betrayal of their friendship. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I learned from my daughter's teacher that she has been wearing the same shirt for the past few weeks, ever since we had a fight about how I don't pay attention to her. FML

Cosplay freakout

By Anonymous - 24/04/2022 14:00

Today, our daughter was going to a cosplay event, until her dad saw the costume, or lack thereof, that she was planning to wear in public, with people taking photographs of her. He got so mad, he actually burst a blood vessel in his neck and had to go to hospital. She still went to the event. FML

Today, I walked in on my daughter hugging and sobbing into her Edward Cullen cut-out. She won't tell me what's wrong, yet she can confide in a creepy fictional stalker whose facial expression is locked to "chronically constipated". Where did I go wrong? FML

Karma

Today, my daughter came crying to me that her boyfriend cheated on her. I'd like to comfort her, if it weren't for the fact that she manipulated him into cheating on his previous girlfriend with her. FML

Today, I went to the movies with a girl I like, then we went to grab a bite afterwards. She spent most of the time telling me how much she dislikes my best friend because he hooked up with a new girl. I then found out the two had been "talking" for a while. FML

Today, my daughter came up to me crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she had a fight with her imaginary boyfriend. She's 16. I raised this child. FML

Fashionista

Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML

Today, my girlfriend got into a huge fight with her mom over the phone. After the fight, she looked ready to cry so I went over to comfort her. She went straight past me, and started confiding in her creepy, extremely expensive dolls instead. FML

Today, after having bought my daughter a complete set of new school clothes, she threw a tantrum and refused to wear them. I told her she could either wear them, or go to school naked. She made if half-way down the street in the nude before I caught up and dragged her back inside. FML

Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML

I suggest you kill the friend. If game of thrones has thought me anything, killing people who smite your family is the only answer.....

If she's that upset don't disregard her feelings just because the reason seems so arbitrary and ridiculous to you. Instead you should try and cheer her up!

I kind of agree? I once heard that telling someone not to be sad because others have it worse is like telling someone not to be happy because others have it better. So, as superficial and ridiculous as her reasoning is, she's obviously legitimately upset over it and op should comfort her before explaining that wearing the same outfit as your friend is really not the end of the world.

But the problem is it's something completely stupid. I know I couldn't deal with this.

Oh lord...diva in the making.honestly I don't see why people get so damn fussy about this, if anything I wind up giggling because I have a clothing twin

I don't get girls who get upset about them and someone else wearing the same thing. It's not like they knew you were going to wear that outfit and decided to wear it to embarrass you.

I'm a female...I find this ridiculous at any age. It is ridiculous to jump to that conclusion, or to think so lightly of friendship. Do they send pictures of what they are going to wear to each other? Back in my day (I'm not even that old), friends would try to dress alike or get matching outfits as a proof of friendship.

Girls at my school still try to do that matching outfits thing.

I've NEVER completely understood this whole "same clothes" thing. At all. I get that it makes you look "together" like sisters, and it's bad if you're not the other girls' friend, but to get in fights over it is the most ridiculous thing EVER.
