My daughter is not a Princess!

[DrSeuss]

Another reference on FB to a friend's "Little Princess.". Am I the only one who prefers to avoid this word? My two year old is bright, funny, cuddly, sometimes stroppy. I hope she grows up to be something that makes her happy, no idea what yet, just something she finds fulfilling. Why would I give her such an inane title? The Duchess of Cambridge, who I actually really like, has a degree from a top university. She now has no right to express an opinion and will always be second to her husband. Not really what I hope for in my daughter's life!

Daft cow is also said with pride and love. You bint.

Princess even though they know they are not is a term of endearment. U daft cow.

I'd never call my daughter a cow. Cos it means slag where I am from.

princess aspiring girls should be shown a photo montage of princess Anne and princess margaret in her later years.

I don't why people have such strong views about a term of endearment. I call my daughter Princess, Possum, Blossom, Scary (derivative of her name). None of them are based in reality. She is very clear on the fact that she is not a royal, is not small and cuddly, colourful or frightening.
