NTA: Break free from the “sisters share” mantra!
“NTA If these were my kids and ‘Jake’ were ‘Jackie’ I would still say ‘no way.’ Make-up isn’t like clothes that you can rewear over and over again before they wear out years from now. How about a compromise?”
NTA. Teach your son about boundaries and hygiene with make-up.

NTA. Get him his own stuff. Any 14yo girl is going to have a problem with a younger sibling taking her stuff. Or at least he needs to ask your daughter for permission if she’s amenable and use under supervision. Sisters only share in movies lol.
