I could really stop right at the subject. For those of you who have girls in that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde wonderful, loving, soothing age group already know what I am talking about. But for those of you who are clueless, let me help you out.
- The jeans are too dark.
- Conversely...the jeans are too light.
- I don't like the way the legs flare out.
- There are too many polka dots.
- Eww, too pink.
- That's just not my style.
- I don't like the strap over the top of the shoe.
- Too much lace on the top of the tank top.
- I don't like the material.
- These flip flops don't fit just right.
- Flowers? Mom, I'm not that old.
- I don't like the back pockets.
Does this sound familiar to any of you? And for those of you with toddlers, you may want to invest in a personal shopper. Or buy a lot of wine.

You forgot "it's itchy" (in spite of having picked it out and/or worn it already once with no complaints).

Kris: You a right. I had forgotten that one.

What's even worse is when they've picked something in the shop - you've paid and it wasn't cheap, they've worn it ONCE and then declared they don't like it anymore or oh "he" / "she" touched it I hate it now - where he/she is a brother / sister / cousin.

I think that we should have a personal shopper just to buy the wine! (and possibly do the laundry) Everyone wins!!

A personal shopper to do the laundry? I'm there! With today's teens going in for so much layering, there is a huge pile of laundry every weekend, no matter what the season.
