[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I hear you, I have a 3y and an 18mo and since #1 hit preschool every week something changes (she learned the word princess, announced that pink and purple are her favorite colors, saying things are "so cute".....ehhhhh........) I did not grow up like that, I am having trouble keeping up with this and I also have a negative reaction towards anything princess......it reads entitled rich person to me.

So, while I'm just entering the phase, I do recognize the wisdom to not fight it but to control what you buy and what you let into your house.  And I've signed her up for sports, got a soccer goal for the backyard and some little lax sticks.  Wishful thinking, I know........[/quote]

Not the OP, but your experience sounds a lot like mine. I don't like the princess crap and it's fine if she DD wants to talk about it, pretend play etc. But I am not buying her any of the merchandise. And we don't really do tv anyway so she has never seen the movies. She just has a bday and asked for a princess doll house that a friend of hers has. Instead I bought her a gender neutral, natural wood doll house (that her younger brother loves too). She loves the dollhouse and is fine with us not buying the commercial driven merchandise.
