This Mom Refuses to Eliminate Princess Things From Her Daughter’s Life. Is She Wrong?

Some kids just don’t want to grow out of their princess phase, huh?

But who thought it would lead to conflict within a family?

Hey, people are weird! But I’m sure you already know that…

Take a look at this interesting story from Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page and keep reading to see how people reacted.

AITA for refusing to eliminate Princess stuff from my daughter’s life

“I’ll probably get judged for all this but I’m pregnant with a guy I’m not dating. He’s nice and wants to be there for the kid so we are on friendly terms. So far, we’ve had no issues until I met his parents.

I met them on Saturday, everything was going great until baby shower talk came up. I was talking about the theme and his mom said “Son, did you tell her about the Princess thing?”

He didn’t. Apparently his brother has a daughter from another relationship named Princess that he’s not allowed to see. It’s a sore subject for him and he lives with the grandparents so he’s around often. They have requested that we don’t do any themed events, buy any clothes, decorations, etc with the word “Princess” on them. It’s just “too hard” for the brother.

I may be the a**hole here because I don’t even have strong urges towards Princess stuff. Much prefer soup colored baby rompers. That said, I’m incredibly annoyed at this request and told them absolutely not—if I see something cute that says Princess or my kid wants Princess stuff, I will buy it. This upset his parents and started saying “really? You’d rather cause someone pain than put down a d**n Princess shirt?”

I’m not trying to cause pain but expecting me to restrict Princess from all things sounds completely unreasonable to me. I’m not particularly girly but even I went through a Princess phase and l love the children’s books “Fancy Nancy” so I’m sure I’m bound to stumble on some Princess stuff.

This is why the brother can’t see the kid: He gave up his rights so the kids step dad could adopt her and he’d be relieved of child support payments. They promised he’d still get to see the kid. After all was said and done they stopped letting him see her.

My baby’s dad believes he could see her if his brother put in effort but he doesn’t and just sulks about it instead.”

Okay, now it’s time to dig into the responses from folks on Reddit.

This reader argued that there is a middle ground that can be worked out here.

Let’s hope so…

Another person said that something with the family just seems a little strange and maybe the family shouldn’t be trusted.

Just a thought…

This Reddit user stated the obvious (at least in my opinion): everyone now has to avoid princess stuff because of this?

And finally, this reader thinks that this really doesn’t even need to an issue if they’re not going to be seeing each all that much anyway.

Snow White Soothed a Boy with Autism at Disney World

Brody Bergner do very well around strangers, but he was looking forward to visiting Disney World.

Lauren (his mom) talked to Brody for months about what her 6 year old with autism could expect when he got there. But, knowing how sensitive her son is to crowded and noisy places, she knew she could expect at least a couple of meltdowns.

So, while waiting to meet Snow White toward the end of a full day of park hopping, Lauren could sense her tired and overstimulated boy was heading for a breakdown.

She told Today, “Brody was overheated, sweating and overwhelmed by everything. He just started crying.”

Then something happened that changed everything.

I am so emotional with these pictures !! Brody was having a meltdown . It was our turn to take pictures with her and he…

Snow White could see immediately that Brody was non-verbal and had special needs.

In her post, Lauren writes,

“She kissed, hugged and cuddled him. She then took him for a walk away from the crowd! She was amazing. She held his hand , danced with him , took him over to a bench and sat with him . She went above and beyond !! She took so much time with him .She was a pure angel ! She was magical and my family is forever thankful and touched !”

Lauren’s Facebook post, with pictures of Brody and Show White, was shared over 100,000 times.

She and her husband, Bill, were awed at how quickly Brody connected with the Disney princess.

Posted by Lauren Bergner on Sunday, August 25, 2019

Fearing, at one point, that the crowd would grow impatient with their family for holding up their Snow White encounters, Lauren turned around only to see everyone break into applause.

“It was this magical moment that we will never, ever forget,” she said.

And, that’s how, on a sweltering, hot day in the middle of Florida, a small boy met his princess.

You Could Make $53k/Year as a Part-Time Nanny… But You Need to Become a Disney Princess

Most of us tend to think of “nanny” as a relatively simple occupation (to the extent that childcare can be “simple”), one that pays your basic expenses but probably wouldn’t make you wealthy.

What if I told you, however, that you could make good money as a nanny – and only part-time at that! Good money to the tune of $53,000 a year… but you’d have to dress like a Disney princess at all times (while on the job).

As many parents will attest to, seeing your kid’s face light up with joy is worth pretty much any price. That’s what these U.K. parents must’ve been thinking when they placed their ad for a Disney princess nanny, because they’re parents to a pair of Disney-obsessed 5-year-old twin girls.

The ad, posted on Childcare.co.uk, reads:

I have a slightly unusual request that I’m hoping someone will be able to help me with!

Myself and my husband are looking for a part-time nanny to care for our twin girls during the week, but we want to hire someone to look after our children whilst in character as a different Disney princess every month, such as Princess Anna, Moana, Rapunzel and Princess Merida.

Like most 5-year-olds, our girls are obsessed with Disney and we feel this would be the best way to communicate some important values. We know this isn’t a normal request for nannies, however we think it would be a great way to teach our girls about things like determination, compassion, fearlessness and ambition from strong yet relatable female role models like Princess Tiana, Princess Anna, Belle and Cinderella.

We are looking for someone who can commit to a character and create a really fun atmosphere in our home, but also won’t be afraid to be a disciplinarian if the twins are naughty or act out – they can be little terrors at times! The right person will have a real creative flare as well as a passion for all things Disney and will be able to share that love of those characters with our girls.

The role involves picking the girls up after school, four days a week, arranging a variety of Disney-related activities (arts and crafts, baking, singing, etc.), cooking dinner and potentially putting them to bed if we’re late home from work. The job is part-time, but the right nanny must be willing to work around our busy schedules.

Candidates must be looking for a long-term job as we want to keep the successful nanny in the girl’s lives for the foreseeable future.

We’re able to offer around £40,000 a year for the right candidate and will also be covering the hire of each Disney princess costume. You’ll be entitled to 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays, as well as the statutory sick day allocation, however you must be flexible in case of any emergencies. Requirements include having a clean driving licence, first aid training and a minimum 2 years’ experience in nannying or a similar role.

We think a trial shift would work best, so we can see how you interact with our girls and allow us to formally meet before hiring.

Again, we know this isn’t exactly a normal job offer, but we think it’s a great opportunity for someone to get really creative and add a little magic to our girl’s lives! So, if there are any Disney-mad nannies out there who’d be able to help us out, please get in touch.

Honestly, it sounds like a pretty sweet gig, especially since the family will even foot the bill for the costumes you’d need! If the requirement weren’t specifically for a princess, I’d consider it myself!
