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)

I believe it was Alexander II that freed Russia’s serfs. It was all downhill after that.

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

No idea where women can go for good wives.

I wonder if her mom has to work nights to make ends meet.

Whole show is on ‘victims’....fake victims.

My favorite was the crazy lady who felt her ex-short-time boyfriend for two years was following her. Doc Phil finds the guy and confirms that there’s been NO contact. She’s been on one great delusional tour.

I too remember the kids who got their meals for free, worked in the kitchen or serving line. Actually their labor was probably worth more than the meal.

A different world.

I’ve noticed that being fully engaged, teaching lessons even at play is the best way to raise a child. There are so many teachable moments along the way. If only more Democrats were afforded these.

You know.. It seems to me that the lack of parenting is probably at the heart of what is wrong with this country.

At 15, my parents would no longer pay me my 25 cents/week allowance so I had to get a job. I got one restocking shelves in a local grocery store. It paid $30/week before taxes. I thought I was rich.

“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.”

My dad bought a Holstein calf at the stock market and a bag of milk replacer at the feed store.
When I sold it as a yearling I had to repay him the cost of the calf and feed.
I had enough left over to buy two more calves and milk replacer.
When I sold those two as yearlings I turned a profit.
They taught me the value of pennies early.

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

Sounds like an absentee mom who created a monster then kept throwing money at the problem. Guilty for not being there to be a mom.
Wonder if she finally developed cash flow problems, or actually noticed her daughter was a hideous spoiled brat?

So this rich bitch thinks she lives like a peasant? Possibly, since she definitely is a bird-brain.
