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)

Yes, If I did good on my report card and respected my teachers my dad grunted...you were supposed to do good like that.

If I did bad on my report card or disrespected a teacher I landed on the other side of the room.

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

Men want women. Women don't necessarily want men. Often they are content with the income that they can get from a man.

Look at the welfare system: lots of women being supported by Uncle Sugar, no interest in getting married to some boring guy with a job.

Look at the divorce industry: lots of women (70% of divorces initiated by women) decide that if they can get the income without having to put up with the guy, that's great.

Look at the "Sex and the City" lifestyles of some young working women: if they make their own money, they can hang out with their female friends and drink all night, maybe go home with a guy for a one night stand if he's handsome and charming enough.

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

In fact I have not, although I have read about them in various articles. If I were so inclined, they would be too expensive. Cheaper to just pick up a gal at a bar ...

Annnnddd... she doesn’t deserve an allowance. I worked for everything I have, never had an allowance.

Anyways, ladies and gents, that is partly how a spoiled brat is created.

No allowance but I got report card money - 25 cents for a B and 50 cents for an A. Guess who got mostly all A’s.
