Sounds like she is a role model should be flattered
You should be flattered.
I know you probably dont wanna hear it but i think your pregnancy hormones are making it into a big deal when its not. When i was pregnant it happened to me all the time and i had to take a step back from people to see i was overreacting
She’s probably just looking up to you, maybe you’ve been a Mama longer than she has? Sounds like she wants to be like you, which isn’t a bad thing. Maybe connect with her, and help her find her own sense of style.
She admires you and your taste.
And this affects your life?
lady just shut up.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Wow… never mind taking it as a complete COMPLIMENT! maybe she looks up to you? My gawd… you seem like someone who looks at any situation with pure nativity.
You must have good taste, be honored.
I understand i have a friend that literally does the same thing it’s irritating asf but what i learned to do was to not say anything if i buy it im quiet about it and when she finally sees it normally she cant go get it
Everyone is doing grey and pink. It only
Last a little while. Yous will have your babies and find their own unique things that are for them only. Pregnancy bitchiness and tantrums are real. I had them all the time. Felt
Like a toddler most of my pregnancy . It’ll get better.
People who can’t think for themselves do that.
Get over yourself. How can you say your good friend and talk like that behind her back. Your not a friend i would want. Smdh myself and my bff do similiar or exact things we have never had a problem. Probably because we dont talk behind each other’s back. Been bffs over 25 yrs.
I’d take it as a compliment. You’re their inspiration clearly, I couldn’t take that any other way but well
Take it as a compliment. She must like your tatse
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
It just sounds like she looks up to you. If y’all weren’t friendly or there was any type of hostility that’d be different but it being a sibling as well I just don’t find it weird.
Copying someone is the greatest form of flattery.
It’s annoying I’m sure, but it’s definitely a compliment. I have zero taste of fashion or style I copy rooms from magazines so I get where she’s coming from. She loves your style and wants her own nursery to look just as cute. It’s annoying though for the one being copied but I think you kinda have to suck it up and get over it because it’s really not something to cause a rift over , maybe just tweak or swap out a few items you have to make it your own ya know, you dont have to go out and purchase all new items, switch the paint or add a different print. Just a suggestion
Honestly I’ve been there it does kind of suck. But at the same point this is a huge ego booster in my opinion your doing it soooo right and you are on point she thinks doing the same as you is going to benefit her is some way.i know it sucks but it could be soooo much worse to have them against you instead of for you.
Wow
I didn’t realize how pressed women got over these things until I read the comments. My 3 sisters and I are not particularly close. However, the majority of our pregnancies at the very least 1 other sister was pregnant at the time. It’s been that way since 2012 lol and of course it’s always the same genders. I guess we’re a weird bunch because when we find child items we absolutely love we’re texting each other right away like “I got such & such here and it was only X amount!” At least 5 of the younger ones have the same car seat/ color and we can’t be bothered by it.

How are you even complaining about this?! My sisters and I were always pregnant together and one of our favorite things was “ you gotta get to such and such quick! The deals are amazing!” Or telling them about the newest find we found and how awesome we found it. Enjoy your pregnancy with this person and just stop. It’s so much fun to shop and plan with someone else.
She thinks you’re cool. Why let it bother you lol
One your a shit friend then, two I have a mate who’s the same and It didn’t annoy me but it always pulled me up and was like um oke, few years went on and her mother actually explained to me that she was “intellectually disabled” and raised by a mother who works in special need homes so she had the freedom to keep her “quirks” and she would mimic people so they didn’t hate her. There is actually many thing that can cause people to mimic things, it’s only a problem if it’s in excessive amounts.
You’re obviously her idol! But if it bothers you talk to her about it. Say I notice you like a lot of the stuff I do and that’s fine but it gets a little Claustrophobic when it’s the smallest details.
Be flattered! But in my experience if I’m bothered by someone copying me I either stop giving them so much information or wait for it to end. Most likely it’ll run out
Remember the hormones guys. That stuff will make you nuts. Ya’ll will laugh at this later:heart:
I’m having hormone issues for the ladies of a certain age and it makes you goofy as hell. Like, why oh why am I being so nuts for silly stuff. Why is it hot as hell in here? Is that a mustache? Just breathe…
She looks p to u obviously
You should be flattered stop acting spoiled
Not trying to be a bitch, but the fact you’re insinuating that your SIL purposely got pregnant right after you just to “copy you”, is so weird and petty.
If it bothers you THAT bad (which by the way you’ll regret someday wasting so much mental energy on all this), that she’s copying you with the nursery theme, either say something to her or let it go.
There’s nothing else you can do, it’s just flowers… and I could almost 100% guarantee she did NOT get pregnant just to copy you lol.
You hope the best for that person wether you feel like it’s copying or not if she was to name her child the same name as your childs then I would start being like wtf lol fact is “copy” is something almost all of us do you are not the 1st to have those designs colours or items neither is she neither am I neither is anyone else we are all on this journey called life what I don’t know someone else does what I have experienced someone else hasn’t sometimes a path or a lil guidance is all we need & if you would like to deem that copying then your right in your own perspective I guess
Imitation is a form of flattery
Maybe your actually copying her but you just thought of it first
Maybe she knows her taste sux and you are her inspiration. Roll with it. This is a first world problem, pick your battles. She’ll quit eventually
Take it as a compliment, she’s blatantly telling you that you have great taste in her eyes! It’s not “copying” when someone is buying the same items as you, maybe y’all just have alot in common! Stop being so uptight about it and feel blessed that she’s showing her admiration so openly.
you also said you were good friends, be flattered by it. she’s showing you that you have great taste in decorating, although it’s annoying it’s not worth worrying about
I disagree with so many people. All these people telling you to get over it , uhhh no
That’s straight up WIERD . I would distance myself and keep things very low profile. If she asks questions start calling her out on it. Tell her you don’t appreciate her copying everything. As for her getting pregnant soon after you, thats definitely outta her hands whether she was trying to copy you or not
Maybe she thinks of you as a good friend and likes your style! Remember back in the day when besties would dress alike
Either way buy her something different if it makes you feel better. You might be reading the situation all wrong.
It’s a complement she obviously thinks you have good taste.
Please don’t loose your friendship over something so petty !
I understand why u would be annoyed but somtimes ppl who think u are perfect get there strength from you so she will fill her energy and likes thru you because she trusts ur judgement and looks upto you iv been in this situation b4 and yeh it was annoying but I knew with all my heart that she was just trying to figure it out and it was more thst she trusted my doings more then her own eventually they learn to find there own feet alil more so if she is honestly a good person then this myt be the case some ppl are honestly clueless
You have obviously never heard the term
“ impersonation is the highest form of flattery” she is probably insecure with making big decision, and following your lead is actually a way to feel safer in her choices… it’s also a huge compliment
Imitation is the highest form of flattery…be happy she finds you as inspiration
really pleased with all the different types of opinions and advice on this post.
really does make u look at things differently & from other peoples perspective❤
I would be upset also! Maybe she isn’t very good at decorating and that’s why she copies your ideas. Just a thought!
Change your decor last minute and donate the old stuff to her. That way you get your uniqueness and she will look stupid if she changes everything just because you did.
Plan a decoy so she copies it and switch to what you really want to do at the last minute.
I do this all the time with my kids who want MY food even when they already have their own. I wait until they eat the decoy plate that’s “mine” and then get my real food out.
JK, idk, talk to her?
That’s awesome. I went through the same thing before with my ex sister in-law copying me.
Tell her your purchase “plans” and when she buys it, borrow hers instead of buying… you can share ideas and save $
Choose something ugly let her get it then stop using it.
I think you’re being petty. Who gives a shit if she gets the same stuff as you. It’s not the end of the world.
Maybe she just looks up to you
