Shopaholic?
Hooked on shopping? Blame it on your mom. It’s in the genes after all, says a study.
“Human society puts a great deal of emphasis on female appearance and this will inevitably result in more clothes being purchased for girls than boys. “Parents encourage the importance of clothes through leisure activities such as shopping and play that involves dressing up.“While dads are taking their sons out for football matches, women are taking their little girls shopping and encouraging them to take an interest in fashion,” Karen J Pine of the University of Hertfordshire said.Figures have revealed that clothes for baby girls out-sell those for boys by a fifth.
