girl roles-playing princess, etc.

DH just forwarded me this site.

Perhaps this is what my brother-in-law would not like to happen-- daughter wanting stuff to bought on the Disney theme.

Princess stuff is ok especially when it's homemade stuff and creative, harmless (non-hurtful to other children in terms of status) role playing that the kids make up on their own. Based on fairytales they might have read or seen in a movie. At least they are creating their own imaginative world, a good thing instead of relying on Disneyifed stuff..that costs money..and more money.

Guess when it gets to the little girl beauty pageants with tiara crap...to me, from a family of 4 sisters and 1 brother, it's just parenting in the wrong direction.

Due to poverty, we only had um..2 dolls amongst all us kids. None of them Barbies. 1 of the dolls was actually.....doll with rough curly blonde hair, blue eyes and wearing....a dirndl. Given as a gift and now I realize, how coincidental that was...since I grew up in German-based Ontario city!
