Pick the ugliest stuff you can, make a fake registry and see how long she keeps copying you.
Take it as a compliment! And enjoy it with her. Life is short. 
That would annoy me too! Maybe kindly suggest other ideas, make her think their her own!
Well, what I would do is talk about what you got, and then say “oh, but I really wish I had gotten this over here. I just love this so much😢”. Ta-da.
No sense in creating a stink. It’s annoying, but if you get along with her otherwise just roll with it.
If it is uncertainty, where she is getting what you have because she is afraid to buy something alone, just go shopping with her. Encourage her, look at a few things together. She might start to feel encouraged that she can pick something in her own style without it being inferior. Never know what people are going through, and honestly, she might not either. ((Hugs))
I would take it as a complement. And seriously. If you don’t want to be copied. Be less basic 
Maybe don’t let it get to you take it as a compliment and just move on!! Good luck 
Don’t let it bother you babydoll! It should be self soothing for you someone to wanna be like you! Just Lawd I hope she don’t make the babies name close to yours but take it easy! You’re a Legend so adjust your crown & smile

You’re right… this is so dumb.
Yes have a talk with her. My daughter had thia problem shes had to have 2 talks with her and its now been yrs since the girl has done it. I had a friend like this b4 to. I never told her. It just ate me alive. Come to find out the girl had a personality disorder
You should feel flattered…they are trying to be you
I say get over it. They’re not hurting you.
Pick your battles? Is that the worst thing to really be concerned with, in your life? Maybe try talking to her?

I had that same issue with my in laws. Yes, it was super annoying! Especially when they took clame as things that I came up with as THEIR IDEA. We dont talk to them anymore (that’s not why, they are just horribly toxic) but I would just always remind myself they were to dim to come up with their own ideas. Must suck to have such a boring brain ya know. No creativity
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery I guess should they think you’re the bees knees!

Y’all on here telling her to be grateful for it must have not ever had anyone copy your every move due to jealousy. She could just love the way she does things, or she could just want to see if she could do them better out of spite. She said there were more situations than just this. I’d probably just stop sharing ideas and everything with her though.

I DK why it bothers you. But then I know you’re pregnant so being emotional and feeling irritated, it’s normal. So anyway for me, I usually say “that’s wassup!!” Whenever I see them copy my kids clothes or what I draw, or decorations, etc. I’m deaf myself so I’m different and I don’t judge 
I would think they are liking my style for the house, the kids , etc. So the pregnant in 10 weeks apart, it would be cool they will be cousins and grow up together. Maybe talk to her about it since y’all are friends 
When I have my daughter I named her Anna Isabella then three cousins named their babies Annalise Annabella and Anna Grace
Grow up and be grateful to have a friend, a baby a partner
Yout wasting energy being so petty.
Imagine you had a serious problem!!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Think of it as, you are the guru.
She likes your style 
It irked me to no end but I got over it
Be flattered she thinks you have good taste
Yall could honestly just be best friends
Apparently you got great taste… let it go…
View it as a form of flattery. They copy you because you lead a great example

Be flattered she admires you so stop being petty

First of all, I’d gift her with different patches and sew them on for her. Gift her with different things than what you use. Coming from you, she may love them!
You sound like the “popular” girl in school that was super shitty to anyone and everyone else possible.
Go to therapy already.
Oh my… to have such petty problems. (Long sigh…)

I’m going to be the opposite of all these rude ass people.
Just because it’s not as big as problem as others doesn’t mean it isn’t a big problem to you.
I honestly would be annoyed to. It’s like taking away your light.
I would however maybe try looking at it in a different perspective. Maybe she just doesn’t know what to get or do and instead of asking for help she is just copying you.
It sounds like she just really admires you and your style. Maybe she thinks your choices are very cozy and wants her babies to feel the same. Definitely can get aggravating, just take it as a compliment
Jesus, are y’all grown? Cause u don’t seem like it at all… this is petty. I had gray pink with with flowers for my daughters theme, I guess u copied me

I hate people that do this personally. Although I understand it comes from a place of lack on their part.
Its okay that she likes the same stuff. Wtf! Maybe bc you got pregnant before her and got the theme that she liked so just bc you got it doesn’t mean she can’t have it too.

My mother always said (and I’ve told my kids) “don’t get angry because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. While it can be annoying to be sure they must like your style and taste and choices. Take as a compliment

Youre in your feelings cause of the pregnancy, i can see how it can be irritating- people have done this to me but try to look at it as flattering, someone admires you and likes your style. If this is your biggest problem then you have alot to be grateful for.
New perspective - be flattered instead of irritated.

Mockery is the best form of flattery… 
It would drive me nuts to. But I would tell her things like you know what would be cute?.. Then give something different than what you would do.
Take it as a compliment that she likes your style and offer to help her find a style that fits her. She may not have had anyone who encouraged her to be herself and find her own style. Lift her up and maybe she can find herself. God Bless

I’ve never understood people who feel like they’re entitled to a style and no one else can have or use it. This is peak immaturity.
I don’t care what anyone else is saying 
but this would grind on me too in the end… soo saying that. Trick her into thinking your doing something wait until she copies then use your actual idea. Keep everything low key private… no pictures on media etc. And remember its always a compliment

You’re being extra. You probably see it as an attack to your pregnancy and it’s not… she idolizes you. Chill.

Usually imitation is a form of flattery. In this instance, I’m not so sure. The sister in-law may not be prepared to have a child and looks to you for help. She needs to be her own person, however. Try to encourage that. Maybe go shopping with her so she doesn’t get the same things: “You need this.” “How about that one?”

Mockery is the biggest form of flattery. Sure it’s a little weird but who are they hurting? Seems like you’re being a bit dramatic and “extra” IMO
Obviously no one here has had someone copy everything they do 
I have someone that does the same thing. Yes it gets very freaking annoying! But I just don’t really talk to that person much, I don’t share my likes with her anymore or tell her things I want. Can’t copy me much anymore. All you can do is just try not to let it get to you,and just get on with your life.

I get how irritating it is to have someone copy you, I’ve been there. That being said, try not to let it bother you. Is this her first child? Maybe she’s just unsure and looks up to you.

Like it’s different if it’s only a couple things that’s copied, but when they copy every single god damn thing you do for years? That’s a bit much and could drive anyone crazy!
Feel proud that she thinks so highly of you and your ideals . Be kind and have fun with each other decorating.

Its a compliment, I doubt they do it to be petty. Also if you go to stores, its legit 2 themes for boys. Zoo. Or Dinos. My reveal was a cauldron color change and I know someone who did the same thing a little while later, I didn’t get mad. And come on thats pretty unique lol

What ever about having a baby i cant see the problem with that but the copying the house and stuff thats a no no for me. The amount of people saying its a compliment move on. Its not a compliment. All the time and effort that you put into making your home your own and someone just comes in and copies it all. I wouldn’t be happy at all. You would feel like your leaving your home and walking straight back into it when u go to their house. I’d say it to her.

I would change some things up if you feel shes copying you. Paint the crib, change your diaper bag, see if she follows suit. If it really bothers you though, why don’t you just ask her why does she keep doing it? Sit her down and talk to her
think of it as a compliement
She looks up to you…
And being copied is a problem how? Or is it simply a compliment with unexpressed words? I for one take being copied as …I’m that great in the eyes of the followers…so…LEAD …

Its hormones I bet. I felt this way too, some irrational rage that was 100% hormonal mixed with territorial. Felt like they tried to steal my thunder and take away from my experience. They weren’t famy, but they were our group and it was annoying. Bring it up to her, otherwise you’ll build some resentments.

It sounds like your sister- in- law looks up to you and thinks you have yourself together. My brother in law and sister in law is alot older than us and we looked up to them. Sometimes it helps to watch others so you can grow. I think it is a complement to you. Maybe they like your style

Either don’t let her know what you are doing, then she can’t copy you…or just be quiet and get over it. Take it as a compliment that she likes your style.
There are alot of things to take into consideration here. Is she younger then you? Odds are she is and thats why shes doing it. Because she looks up to you like a younger sibling will always do. Eventually she will move on and find her own styles and self. Only time i would be concerned is if she did something like wanting to name the baby the same as one of your childrens name or something else along those lines.

Idk about everyone else but this is annoying. How are people gonna preach not stealing others art, but then call you a baby when someone is stealing your style 
I dont have good advice here just know your thoughts are valid, maybe ask for some space.

Of all the dumb shit I see on Fb this is getting up there… get over yourself. Reminds me of my pre teen daughters.
First of all these comments are annoying cause if any of these ladies were going thru the same thing they would feel the same way. We are human at the end of the day.
Your feelings are valid Baby girl I know it’s so annoying trust me cause I went thru the same thing living with my in laws.(thank god i am out of there) I felt at times she was literally trying so hard to keep up with me. I noticed she try to compete with me it will get under my skin. Till I noticed I am not the problem. Some people are just so INSECURE and LOST that they look up to other people for validation. Or she could be ENVIOUS pay attention to your intuition it will tell you the answer if you pay attention. Some people are just so envious they’re literally copycats and always feel like they need to compete. Try talking to her and tell her how you feel. I could never talk to my in law because OMG I’m going to attack her and I’m the bad guy because it’s a compliment and it’s flattery but this lady was a different case I would buy a pair of panties she would literally go out of her way to get the exact same pair just to show me she bought them too. I just got weird looney vibes. Like I said talk to her maybe her intentions are completely different.
