I live in a small southern town. It’s ALWAYS been that way here. Mothers and daughters sometimes have matching haircuts.

Oof! Assuming that a big recession/depression is coming along that will last for several years, this kind of attitude in half the population is going to be painful.

That may be but to be a princess in the 50’s I put on a dress of my mothers and dime store jewelry. I did not look like a prostitute at age 8.

What’s new is that for the first time in history, a country’s men have allowed those emotion-over-reason ‘princesses’ to drive the political direction of the world’s superpower. And now we deal with the consequences of that superpower falling apart as a result.

Yes, we’ve always spent 10-15 grand on high school proms for our princesses.

Silly. It was jeans and T-shirts for me. For my 10th birthday my dad gave me a .22 rifle. So much more fun than a designer bag or a poodle.

And one of these “emotion over reason” princesses is about to become a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

I recently saw a girl at Walmart, who was really pretty...
Except for the word 'Princess' tattooed across her chest...

I know three local men (small business owners) who went to China and married Chinese women for wives. They say they can’t stand American women.

Verily, verily I say unto you, I grew up in the 60's. There were parents of girls in my junior high school who threw very elaborate, expensive parties for their spoiled daughters. Adjust 1960's dollars to 2009 dollars and you'll discover that the parents spent virtually the same amount.
I've 6 kids and 4 grandkids. I've street cred....

There is nothng new under the sun.
In the 1930’s the Moms coming out of the depression years of their childhoods wanted their daughters to be Shirley Temple.
I am old enough to remember all the memorabilia, tap dance lessons, and being forced to submit to “Tony Home permanents” to get a head of curley hair.
Nowdays we “princess Moms” have fewer kids and more money, but the same tendency to want to recapture the fantasies of our own childhoods thru our daughters. Unfortunately the slutty Gollywood culture takes "glamour" things way too far and some stupid vapid people indulge their children in it.

When I read stuff like this, it makes me glad I had a son! I would not have known what to do with a ‘princess’. I was a baseball playing, horseback riding, skinned knee tomboy...lol.
