How do feel about being a princess?

in Parenting after a Loss

Just curious. Do you think girls are raised to be a "princess" or do you think it is just being a girl?

I personally think that the overboard princess stuff is raising your child to be a princess. But the occasional dressing up and liking Disney Princess is just being a girl.

Thoughts?

    I think there's a difference between LIKING princesses and ACTING like a princess. I think you raise a kid to act like a princess, but them liking princess things has nothing to do with you at all.

    I have a college FB friend who is so terrified of her daughter liking anything to do with a princess. It's really weird. I mean it's one thing to be obsessed with that stuff but l agree with you, I think the normal disney stuff is just part of being a girl.

    Eh, I think the princess phobia is political correctness gone wacko.  I think it's normal for little girls to dream about being a princess, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, not even if the fantasy includes being rich, living in a castle, wearing diamonds and being swept off your feet by a gorgeous guy on a white horse.  I loved all that princess stuff when I was a kid, and I think I'm a pretty self-sufficient and down-to-earth person :)  I also used to play Mary Poppins and stand on the porch with an umbrella waiting for the wind to pick me up and fly me away ... but I'm not crazy now!
