[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 58590, member: 3626"] I never knew what I would find in my daughter's closet when she was in high school. Clothes were constantly traded. Unfortunately, she usually got the low end while giving up the high end. After a few battles, I gave up. I simply decided that this wasn't worth the fight. If she chose to "loan" a friend her new top and her friend chose to not return it, I would not replace it. She actually went without a jacket one winter. Granted, our climate is not below freezing or snow filled in the winter but it is cold. My only rule became the clothing on her back had to be acceptable -- no holes, nothing skimpy, not smelly or stained. If they were any of those things, I simply threw them in the trash. The no replace policy saved me a tremendous amount of money. By her senior year, she actually figured out that the loaning and trading of clothes was not always a good idea and did it less and less, even though it still occurs at times but now usually with clothes she really doesn't like.
