[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I a bad person that I have a visceral reaction when I see girls in traditional princess costumes? If they’re non-traditional like Mulan or Leia (ie people who actually DO something) I’m okay with it. Even the Frozen princesses who are so popular nowadays seem to just exist to be blonde and pretty. Btw I have a 5yo and so far we’ve been doing creative/neutral costumes like doctor or monkey, but she’s starting to get influenced by her K classmates :-/[/quote]

I don’t think you are a bad person, but it is bad. You may want to think about getting therapy to understand why it bothers you so much. [/quote]

Oh I know why it bothers me - because I respect (and want DD to emulate) people who do things rather than people who are just pretty. Same reason I prefer Elena Kagan to Kim Kardashian. But yes, I should recognize it’s a phase, likely fueled by peer pressure, and has little bearing on future interests.[/quote]

You are extremely annoying and one note, and Kim Kardashian spends a good chunk of her time getting wrongfully convicted (or immoderately sentenced) people out of prison.  But if you think posts like these make you look like a better person than someone who's kid is actually allowed to have fun on Halloween, I hope it brings you what you need.[/quote]
