At what age did your mom let you choose your own outfit every day?

My mom still lays out what I wear every day even though I’m perfectly capable of making my own choices.
But I’m wondering how some older women remember from their childhood, when it was that they were allowed to choose their own outfit.

@iamonfire696 do you mean, she never really let you choose your own outfits?

@Jenny1234 she never chose my outfits. Only once in a while she made my sister and I wear the same dress to a family reunion and I didn’t want too and I said no. I was 8 years old and I really didn’t want to match my 5 year old sister.

She ended up pushing me to the floor and kicking me and hitting me with a wooden spoon. I ended up wearing it after all.
