[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 257942, member: 1233"] Janet I am not talking about the Disney Princess shirts. I am bothered by the shirts that just say "PRINCESS" or "ADORABLE" or whatever. NO matter how cute or adorable or princess-like a child is they should not go around proclaiming it on their bodies. It seems like bragging and setting a small child up with a sense of entitlement. While I often called Jessie "Princess" when talking, she NEVER was able to tell others she is a princess. I see a LOT of little girls (toddler age to preteen) who will flat out tell you they are adorable or cute or precious or princess and so should be exempt from chores, rules, etc... because parents started with shirts teaching the child she was better than others. I just have come across a LOT of it in school here (thank you's school) and it bugs the crud out of me. We always stressed to Jess that seh was a "strong smart girl" rather than cute or pretty or whatever. She got those compliments, but they were not stressed. I wouldn't have a problem with the shirts if they were on kids with-o the attitude or if the parents didn't have teh attitude. Sorry if that is a problem for others. It just bugs me. Oh - people who **** loudly on their teeth. My dad drives us all batty with that. Esp because he does it with-his mouth open. He doesn't even have dentures to explain this behavior! Oh - older men who paint their scalps to avoid looking bald. Or young men with full heads of hair who get "comb overs" from the barber. The one real barber in our town seems to always put the part one INCH above your ear - no matter what. My dad took thank you for a haircut there when he was 5. thank you came home with a COMB OVER!!! I was floored. Had to take him somewhere else the next day to fix it. I think I am probably the Board Curmudgeon, so no one else needs to worry about that! [/QUOTE]
