[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just booked a Disney cruise.  We have 3 young elementary aged daughters.  They have a salon on the ship that offers makeovers for the costume nights and turns them into princesses.  They are absurdly priced at $100-$200 per makeover (costumes included) to say nothing of [b]our general opposition to princesses being dependent on men.[/b]  I'm sure our daughters would be ecstatic to do them.  If we don't do them they won't be obnoxious but they will definitely have noticed them and internally be a littlesad. We have very considerable means and would meet almost anyone's definition of rich.  id love to see our kids faces light up but at the same time I don't want to spoil them or [b]highlight the dependence of women on men.[/b]

Should we sign up for the makeovers?  I understand they fill up quickly, so we need to declde soon.  [/quote]

Stop. Just stop. Doing one makeover on a Disney cruise is not going to make your girls want to become dependent on men. That is not a reason to not do the makeover.

Remember - you are their biggest role model in life. Do you work? Are you dependent on your husband? Your daughters will learn more about independence/being dependent on husbands from you and observing how you live your life than 1 makeover or even watching tons of princess movies while they are this age.

I don't care what decision you make - it is overpriced but they will enjoy it and you can afford it - but don't let the whole princess being dependent on a man factor into your decision making.
