Sharing Underwear?

Is it normal that my girls share underwear? They share a room and a dresser and I have al their undies in the top drawer. They pick out what pair they want each morning.

Is this normal? Shoudl I NOT be doing this??

 

I wondered the same thing. My girls are 18 months apart but there are some panties they have that will fit both of them. I bought them their OWN, in different patterns so they (and I) would know whose are whose, but sometimes they just want the other one. . I dont think its a bad thing. We wash them after they are worn each time, so I dont think it is an issue for now. I would prefer that they stick with 'their' underwear, and Im sure I could buy more and mark their initials or something on each of them so even if they had some that were the same, they would still have their 'own'. . I dont know. I dont think its an issue right now.

 

I have b/g twins, so this isn't an issue for us. But, I would have no problem with it. They're clean, so I don't see why not.

 

Mine share and it really never occurred to me that they shouldn't. I mean they're clean when I put them in the drawer so I don't see a problem with it.

 

yeah, you guys are probably right. My daughter Ella is just now potty trained so this just came up!! I'm sure I'll stick with sharing since it's a lot easier!!

 

I never really thought about it until reading this lol it's chaotic enough around here, so I'm not going to sweat it if they share underwear. Whatever is easier for me! :lol:

Same here. I didn't think about it until just now. :huh: But I think it is ok.

 

At one point in the past, like maybe around the time they started to wear underware, I had wanted them not to share. I put names or intials on the underwear and tried to keep them separate. I quickly gave up. It was futile. However now at going on 5 they have started to "own" certain pairs, so I think by next year they will each have their own underware. I think from 3-5 it's impossible.

 

I figured we'll separate the undies when they care. Until then, no big deal.

 

Unless they were dirty then why not? Unless you want to label each pair and hope they don't argue or change their mind about who has what. My boys share a room and dressers, whether I pick their undies or they do they are all in the same draw.

 

My boys are 16mths apart and the same size - ALL their clothes go into the same closets/drawers and they share everything - i've always had that 'its clean' mentality.

That being said, in the last few months they've started saying "those are treyce's" and "those are kieran's". Treyce prefers tyso pcial underwear style and Kieran prefers boxers.

 

yes mine shared for a long time. I went through stages of putting their inintials in etc.. not sure why too much work. Last year or so they both pick out their own patterns so totally different now, but they are older.

 

Mine are 8 and still share and could care less about it. But I do remember posting here when i first started here about the same thing I didn't want to harm them for the rest of their lives or anything but they don't care one bit. I think when we shop they pick out diffrent designs and mostly wear that one but overall don't care.

 

They share, I never really thought about it! I just put them all in one drawer and they pick out a pair in the morning.

 

Mine share almost all their underwear. (They each have a few "special" pairs that they don't have to share.) Not only that, they wear hand-me-down underwear from their cousins.

 

My boys are 3 years apart, but wear the same size. There are some that are specifically one of theirs, because they got them for Christmas or something. But the generic ones get used by both of them, same with socks. They're the same size around, just different heights. I don't see a problem with it, because they're clean so what's the difference?

 

My girls share. I have two of every kind so they can take their pick in the morning.

That's a good point. I think I'll do the same.

Me too! It never occurred to me that they shouldnt ardon:

 

I'd say let them share- less work for you.

And can I say how jealous I am of all you mommas who actually have little underware in your house!!! I want to join your club too!

 

We share underwear around here with my 2 boys. I never even thought twice about it.

 

My girls share, I have never thought anything about it. I always fold them up and put them in the top drawer and let them pick out what they want to wear as well. I can't imagine trying to make them split them up at this age, they'd be getting in each other's drawers anyway!!

 

For a while the girls were in the same size, but eventually Alexis gets in a bigger size before Rachel gets to it. So for a while they share undies. But then Alexis needs the bigger size so they don't share anymore. I have put 2 baskets in the undies drawer and have wooden dividers in the other drawers so that each drawer has an Alexis side and a Rachel side. So no matter what it is, one has to get the other's permission before borrowing/taking her sister's clothes -- underwear, swim suits, dress, etc. Problem is that Alexis can't borrow Rachel's stuff b/c she is too big to fit into Rachel's clothes anymore. The borrowing is a one way street!

When they are sharing underwear, I usually divide it out by size. Size 8 in Lexi's basket, Size 6 in Rachel's. They are used to this, so it works for us.

The socks however, are just randomly tossed in there and they somehow figure out which ones fit them, b/c their feet are 2 different sizes too!
