I think that every girl has been “Princess” at some point. The meaning isn’t the same for everyone, though. Some people think the princess title means you have to indulge every material whim.
I may have been “princess” to my Dad (and yes, that was one of the nicknames I had up till the day he died), but I was reminded regularly that 1) the sun did not rise and set on my ass, and 2) there is not a giant *sshole in the sky that sh*ts money.
Dad was all about balance. :-)

LOL! Awesome post. It sounds like our house.
I was a total girly girl and complete opposite of many of my tomboy friends. However, every whim was not indulged, I was taught the virtues of kindness, compassion, and self-sacrificing service to others. “Pretty is as pretty does” was a common phrase. A far cry from the self-centered, “I-deserve-this-because-I'm -special”, whiny,.. I'll stop now.
