I am awful. Clothing -- I completely put off with doing it. Just horrible. It isn't my husband that does it ... he tells me to buy stuff when I need it. I just am very bad about updating my clothing. I'll go shopping and think of some bill or something.

Anyone else with this problem?

I buy very little for myself. I have the problem of enjoying shopping for everyone else more...especially my kids. I'm forever ordering them something. I need to do a better job of taking care of myself I think.

I can go a long time without buying anything for myself, but then it seems I will allow myself to buy something--clothes, scrapbooking, etc--and then I can't stop for about a month, I keep buying. So many times I take stuff back to the store because of my guilt, lol. I always try to figure in my head how many diapers something costs.

I am absolutely terrible! I am constantly putting off buying clothes and shoes for myself. It's really bad when dh has to make a point to tell me that I need to just go and buy it. I'll sometimes look and then go, "well let's wait until it go on sale or I find it on clearance" I need a pair of tennis shoes so incredible bad that I won't wear them in public anymore and that is normally what I wear all the time. I need help in this department. Maybe I should go shopping just for me one day after school starts, but I'd probably only come home with one thing. I think that this problem for me started after I had my oldest, I just immediately started putting everyone else first. Before my dd I never had a problem with buying clothes and shoes and stuff like that for myself.

I'm very bad about buying myself clothing. Especially bras and undies. I have had the same pair of tevas since my wedding in 2002. I wore them with my wedding dress!

I finally got myself some Sensodyne, several months after the dentist suggested it. If it were for the kids, I would have it the next day.

This is exactly how I am, exactly. In fact my bras are in awful shape because of it. But the kids, or even my husband, I would have had it for them the very next day!

You mean to say I shouldn't be wearing a nursing bra when I haven't even attempted nursing for almost 3 years???
