[quote=Anonymous]For the life of me, I cannot really figure out what is wrong with a little girl wanting to be a princess.   I wanted to be a princess,  ballerina, an astronaut, a basketball player, a mommy, and a lot of other things.  I was brought up on the Disney movies and I can't say that I ever once thought that my appearance needed to be like a princess, or that I needed to be rescued.  I have two dd's, ages 5.5 and 2.  The 2 year old is obsessed with princesses and the older girl never really got into it.  This despite going to Disney once a war and watching almost all of the movies at one point or another.  I want them to be aware of the things around them, use their imaginations to be a princess if they want to, be aware that there are lots of other things that they can play with and do with themselves.  But seriously, if the 2 yr old occupies herself and us by dancing in her princess dress for a half hour, I am thrilled that she is happy and busy.   I  am fairly sure they will grow up with a broader realization of what it means to be a woman.  [/quote]
