A gift means it's hers to do what she wants with. If there are conditions attached to it, then it's not a gift and you shouldn't present it as one (no pun intended lol). Moms and daughters can lend their clothes to each other without checking with you first, sorry.
Is there any tension between you and daughter that is really behind your objections? Are you jealous of their closeness?
I live with my gf and her teen daughter....
Recently my gf's daughter has been wearing clothing I have purchased as gifts for my gf. I know it seems like no big deal but we are talking about some "expensive" clothes. There are no issues between any of us I just feel like if its a gift it should not be something my gf lends her daughter.... Is it worth saying something to my gf about or should I just let it go?
I think it's pretty inconsiderate of her. She may not see gifts as something special, though. She may just see it as a piece of clothing meant to be worn.
There are no issues between anyone. I simply feel gifts are special and should not be shared...my opinion.
However, I think I will just go with the consensus here and not say anything.
Clothes? I could see that with jewelry or lingerie perhaps, but like a shirt? I wouldn't personally see it as special in that way and I am very sentimental.
If she AND her daughter are wearing them (BTW: how old is the daughter?), then consider it a big success. You are one of the few fortunate men who hit the nail choosing something beautiful, trendy and hot. Not only your GF is wearing it, but a much younger woman, her daughter finds them also very desirable.
Now, what "expensive" means to you, exactly? Walmart vs Nordstrom vs Gucci?
I'm sure your gf values your gifts, and loves them so much that she'd share with her dearest person - her daughter. Consider it a compliment that her daughter likes them too. Don't say anything about it. Mother and daughter, if having a close bond, would feel comfortable sharing clothing or jewelry. My younger sister loved my clothes and jewelries when she still lived with me. My daughter would try out every pair of my new shoes since she's 4. She loves to wear my jewelries all the time. It's like you would share fishing poles or golf clubs with your son. Same deal like that.
