I have always wanted my kids to have cousins so close in age like I did, unfortunately they didn’t. Honestly this sounds so petty. Gray and pink are very trendy…….
Start buying ugly things. Then return them after she’s bought them too 
You not only sound petty but extremely immature and self-absorbed.

So many women who are being rude with their answers… like okay, she’s reading into it a little far but y’all can stop with the eye rolling emojis and name calling, damn.
Its a compliment but if you truly want it to stop. Sit her down and tell her that you would like her to find out what she likes/her style. Maybe she doesn’t have any and follows your lead.

When someone started doing that to me I pretended to start liking really dumb and ugly stuff just to see how far they would go. It was funny tbh
Young one - you should be flattered. She wants to be like you. Trust me young one this to shall pass. You said you have another baby already - she might figure if you do it - (and you being a great Momma already) she does the same - everything will be good. Relax kiddo - your feelers might be in overdrive.

It’s them pregnancy hormones girl! Once that baby comes you will be too tired to care! Stop showing her what you’re buying. You’re obviously showing it to her or she wouldn’t even see these things you got for your unborn child. Just keep things to yourself.

My parents had friends like this when I was growing up, my parents bought a house in a new neighborhood and so did the friends, my mom rescued an English Springer Spaniel, so did they, my mom was looking at a hunter green BMW 5-Series and they bought it. It really is so annoying!! My mom just quit telling them her moves and eventually they found someone else to copy, it’s not out of malicious intent, that’s just who they are!
Edit to add: let her buy everything for the matching nursery and change your theme once it’s too late for her too!

Girl stfu and get over yourself sure it’s annoying but it’s not that big of a deal. As you said, you don’t own “themes” and you don’t own “styles” so seriously stfu. If you don’t like it, then don’t go around, it’s really that simple
Imitation is the highest form of flattery i would ask why she continues to buy the same stuff as you etc
My older sister would do things like this to get under my skin…… we were pregnant at the same time. We both thought we were having girls. So I knew she would copy or steal the name. I decided that I was naming her after my grandmother, Sylvie Marie. Mom asked me one day what I was going to name her. I told her Brittany Nicole. Well……. My sisters baby was born 3 months before mine…… She named her Brittany Nicole! Turns out I had a boy! My sister would throw that in my face……. I waiting until her tubal ligation ( cut and tied) to tell her that really want the name I had chose…….
Moral of the story. Don’t tell her everything and don’t show her anything!

Surely you can spend your time concerned with more pressing situations than copying. If that is all you have that takes up so much of your time, be thankful.
Are you buying it? Then shut yo mouth. Think of it as, you have good taste and help her find other things that are cute. God, life is too short to be this petty and ridiculous.

Girl it’s the hormones. She probably over there in her mind like “omg that’s so adorable! and what if THE GIRLS HAVE MATCHING!” Like… just try to breathe. I know how it is when you’re hormonal with a baby girl. It’s rough. But there’s no ill intent there.

Some people are just fkn weird… I know other people will say “oh well, get over it” , but it is actually really annoying … Try not to hang out with her so much anymore… Bc guess what is coming next?? She is gonna start comparing her kid to yours and vise versa any chance she gets…that when shit gets real… 
I’m the odd one out. That would irritate the hell out of me. It’d be nice that she wants to be like me 
but I’m trying to be my own person and live my own life. If I wanted a copy cat my mom would have gave me a twin

Okay so…. My brother’s girlfriend bought their daughter a bunch of elephant stuff when she was pregnant and after she was born. That was their theme for their daughter.
I found out I was pregnant before their daughter was born and I hid my pregnancy for 2 more months to keep from “stealing” their spotlight. (I was 15 weeks pregnant before we announced it to everyone in the family)
My mother in law wanted a theme for my baby shower and I also picked elephants. I was accused of stealing their idea and yadda yadda. What they didn’t know is that I have a large collection of elephants that started on the day I was born. My mother’s friend bought a bouquet of flowers that had a tiny elephant inside and had it delivered to the hospital. She said she knew I’d always be a fighter and strong like an elephant. After that, the same friend and other family members began to add to my elephant collection until they stopped when I got a little older and decided I liked pigs more.
I never had a theme for my first baby shower. I’ve never been a theme person but my mother in law insisted I have a theme. after seeing their elephants it reminded me of my childhood and that’s why I decided on it. It took forever for them to speak to me and I even offered to give them my large collection of elephants from the US, Mexico and China.
What I’m trying to say is, there may be a reason why she likes the same things y’all like. Or maybe even take it as a compliment on your style and help her out or come up with something new.

I agree that it’s annoying but at the same time I realize that it’s not hurtful Maybe just compliment her on some of her tastes and let her know she’s cool too. Maybe she has low self esteem and really looks up to you. I wouldn’t ruin it.

Maybe next time you do something you think she will copy, tell her your second favorite choice, or say you should have done x instead of y. Maybe she will pick x to flatter or impress you.
Or maybe help her come up with her “own idea”.

That’d get on my nerves. Buying a few similar things ok cool but having a baby is a very special time and the thought you put into the nursery etc and have told her about to copy is f ed up. I was going to name my son Anthony my friend was a few months farther along than me but she never told anyone until after I did, she knew I was considering Anthony but she delivered before me so I picked a different name. Lol at one point she took my sons sonogram pic and posted it as hers when I said something she said it must have been an accident… It was a 4d profile of my son with his middle finger up

She’s giving you the best compliment by copying your style. Not everyone is good at decorating and styling. Maybe you could ask her if she needs your help in picking out things for her first baby since you are going on your second baby, you have more experience and she must admire you. Be the sil/friend she thinks you are.

Hey some people don’t have a sense of taste and style I know it’s annoying because you wanna have the special room but who cares on purpose do something ugly as hell sit back and be entertained
Girl you need to step back for a minute and realize what’s really important. You’re right. You’re being SO petty. Not trying to be mean but a gray and pink floral nursery are pretty unoriginal. Tons of people did these things before you did and y’all won’t be the last to do them. Also how do you know that they haven’t been trying to get pregnant and it just happened to happen at that time? My son has cousins who are all close in age and they have so much fun together. Is it really worth sacrificing a friendship for this? I would just take it as a compliment that she sees the things that you have and she likes them enough to want them for herself. She obviously thinks you have good taste

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I would just take it as her liking your style but perhaps struggling to have the originality to come up with her own style. Is it annoying? Yes, but just remember that you’re the one who thought up the nurseries design first 
Ew, I feel sorry for her thinking your a good friend. Immitation is the highest form of flattery. Do you know what that saying means?
Maybe you should get over yourself and try to learn about things that matter In life so you can be a good role model for your kids, and have real, and solid friendships.

Don’t be petty unless she’s really not pregnant and she’s pretending to be and plans to kidnap you baby, other then that don’t stress it feel lifted as she enjoys your style, and she looking up too

It is petty but at the end of the day we’re HUMAN. And humans have feelings even if others see it as petty, even if it is petty.
I would be annoyed honestly.
And I would redo the nursery and not tell anyone lol then you know it won’t be a copy. Keep the grey and pink just add other things instead of flowers. Idk. I understand how it bugs you and if their childish enough to do it then they’re gonna be childish enough to not listen or see what they’re doing.

Omg I knew the second I started reading this, this poor girl was going to get ripped to shreds in the comments by all these fake ass Karen’s who love to act like they’re perfect and humble and holier than thou. This would annoy the shit out of me too and any woman on here who claims it wouldn’t is full of shit lol. Women are petty as hell and you know that if this happened to any one of them they would be bitching & moaning about it to their best friend or hubby or whoever they vent to the most. Nothing annoys me more than when people throw stones from their perfect glass houses. LET THIS POOR GIRL VENT
Try to take it as a compliment. It’s not worth putting a wedge between you. Especially since you get along.

Even if you are being petty, you’re feelings are valid. But not all reactions to feelings are valid.
Plus I get it. My mom started copying everything about me (before I cut off contact for A LOT of reasons) and it pissed me off. Like I had a whole therapy session about it from copying my spiritual beliefs/practices without actually knowing the meaning behind it, things I bought for my bedroom, for myself etc. If I got it she did too.
Since she is pregnant as well, I’d guess even just joking about it. I’d either change if you can, or try and find a way to get over it
