The problem with raising children when you yourself are a clothes horse, is that they become them, as well. 

I ran across a sweet deal on a new spring coat for the princess.  It was only $9 at Old Navy in the clearance section, so I figured, what the heck!  She did have a hand me down coat from her brother, but I figured she needed a pink one since it was such a good deal.  Plus, she looks exceedingly cute in it.

The problem arises when her brother thinks that he also needs a new coat since his sister got a new coat.  What is wrong with this one??

 

Nothing, I tell you!  He’s stylin’ in his little bomber jacket, which incidentally also FITS.  We were regaled with a temper tantrum of magnificent proportions on Thursday morning because HE WANTED A NEW COAT.

*sigh*  I have created a monster.

Life is so unfair, I want a new coat!

Get over it, Dude.  Count yourself lucky, she’ll just want to take more pictures of you if you get a new coat.
