We don't usually watch that stuff, but I happened to see that episode. What insanity! I just can't fathom these people. We've already started talking to our sons (12 and 14) about the implications of high-maintenance, materialistic girls in their lives. We would sure hate to end up with one of these spoiled little princesses as a daughter-in-law.
My wife thought it was made up - “there can’t really be people out there like that”. I assured her it wasn’t made up (it took about three tries though!)
She finally had to leave the room because she was so mad at the insanity of it all!
And yes - we talked about “I sure would hate to be that girl’s husband...”
However, the second place party with the two girls - they SOUNDED halfway decent “I know I’m lucky ...”, and they asked for their presents to be donations to some charity - some $50,000 was raised.
However, any 16 year-old that can go into a jewelry store with her girl friend and drop $150,000 on a necklace and earrings could probably be considered as “spoiled”. (And sort of puts the whole $50k to charity in perspective.)
