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.

My parents divorced when I was 12 (1980), and I was pretty much my own person despite living with my mum (rip) until my late 20's when I moved in with my first partner (ex since 2011), esp after my younger sister left home at 18 and I became just me and mum. Never really ever had clothing choices made for me once I had jobs (from my early teens doing casual stuff).

As a guy, I don't find clothing and fashion a 'thing' I need to really care about though. Clothes are purely functional for me when i choose (or need) to wear them.

You are a good person, zonavar! You did exactly what you were suppose to do at that time in your life. The reason I know that is because if you weren't suppose to be looking after things, you wouldn't be able to even if you tried. That's how I know that you were following the path that you were suppose to be on and you still are!
