A Beverly Hills teen who calls herself “a princess” is furious at her mother for slashing her monthly $5K allowance.

Fifteen-year-old Nicolette, who appeared on the Dr. Phil show Tuesday, has lived a lavish California childhood — a closet full of Chanel, Gucci, and Céline, personal drivers, exercise trainers, and her own credit card with zero limit. “Some months, her credit card bills would be $10K,” her mother, Nina, told Dr. Phil. “I just paid the bill.”(continued)

Her dad is probably a Democrat representative with a 50k annual income, less kickacks, extortion, bribes, etc., you know, the Clinton personal funding stream.

Parents are probably divorced and Mom did very well in the divorce agreement.

Did you miss the part about the hard working ‘single mom’.

Single working mom. Lots of money, no time.

I used to get a dime a week. And sometimes my parents forgot to give it to me and I didn’t say anything because it just didn’t matter. If I wanted money, I worked.

Have you ever met a “single working mom” who dishes out $10,000 a month for her daughter’s credit cards?

“... Dr. Phil show ....”

Pretty much a freak show .... Dr. Phil another LA SFB victim.

I don’t blame the 15 year old in the least. The parents are fully to blame. They are the ones that spoiled her.

I can see the teen’s point. You cut her allowance by 80%, and it is a dramatic change in lifestyle. It doesn’t matter that it is a large number for a teen. If they cut her from $10,000/mo to $2000/mo, it would still feel the same. Or $10/mo to $2/mo.

All the teen knows is her parents allowance funded a certain lifestyle and now she can only afford a fraction of it.

Just horrible parenting. They should not have waited until she was 15 years old to start parenting her better. Parents are 100% to blame for running the child.

American men can go to the Philippines, Russia, Ukraine, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia for good wives. Where can women go?

When I was a teenager in the early 60s, I got 75 cents a week. Probably equivalent to about $6.00 now. I guarantee that I earned it.

Of course they didn’t have to give me anything.

Article claims she’s a single Mom and feels guilty about it! Also claims she’d spent $100k on the kid over the past year. Few, honest single Mom’s can float that cash flow. I’d wonder whether WE’RE the Dad and she’s a welfare moll.

I washed dishes at elementary school in exchange for a meal, mowed the lawn, picked weeds, fed and cleaned-up after the dogs and other chores as needed. Didn’t get an allowance.

I vividly remember that if I didn’t eat what mom made for supper.... I didn’t eat at all. And we worked chores if we wanted a little spending money. And we weren’t guaranteed that.
