I just had to laugh. I was scrolling down the page and noticed in the school uniform thread that someone claims another mom's child will have a boatload of issues because that mom allows her dd to wear her princess costume when they're out & about.

Do not remember where the costume part started. Some woman flamed me and told me I 'sucked' because I didn't want my dd to pull out her new school uniform every day and wear it al day long as she had been doing. Somehow that turned into costumes... [ Reply | More

My DD went through a princess phase. She loved going outside in her costume. No big deal. I decided a long time ago that it is easier on everyone if she wins some of the little battles once in a while. That way she knows that her opinion counts and I always win the big ones. [ Reply | More
