A few months ago a girl I was at school with added me on Facebook. All well and good, but whenever she updates her status she says things like "I'm a tired Princess today" or "Princess can't wait to go shopping with mummy" or "Poorly Princess". We're both 32 years of age.

Is it me just me or is it fucking bizarre? Today she's posted saying "Five days till my holidays. Excited Princess!"

As far as I'm aware she's not a Princess or in any way affiliated with royalty!

She's always been very, very girly. Has a love of pink and such, but to be honest so are a lot other women I know. They don't go around referring to themselves as Princesses.

I've not hidden her statuses as I far them so ludicrous. She's deadly serious as far I can see.

Does she have some kind of personality disorder?

i do flappy hand crying. I can't help it - but I don't wear make up, so it's nothing to do with that. I'm certainly not precious, or a princess or showing off. I just flap my hands in front of my face when I cry!

Of course you can help it,its an affectation

Only1scoop · 11/08/2014 21:42

This reminds me of a thread a while ago where grown women all had 'fairy' names and spoke in fairy language....

Just no.

I can't help it, Ignominious I can only read that in a Smeagol/Gollum voice.

My Precious. Grin

Ceelo try sitting on your hands.

Princess has texted DH to inform him of the change in communication style.

Princess is trying not to take the lack of response as horrified silence.

Dontgotosleep · 11/08/2014 22:03

Annoying.. Yes.
Harmful... No.
Let her believe she's a princess if that what she wants. Let her have her dream that's all some people have got ffs.
Mind you that said she's 32 not 12.

Does Princess gave a chihuahua or similar tiny dog that never touches the ground? [Grin]

Unfriend.

Cariad007 · 11/08/2014 23:08

A friend of a friend was a real princess type. As in princess Barbie. When she got married she was dressed as Wedding Barbie and on top of the wedding cake was a Barbie that had been custom made to look like her in a miniature version of her dress.

This was all because THE GROOM was obsessed with all things Barbie. As far as I know they are still married.

SistersOfPercy · 11/08/2014 23:36

Have you considered warning princess that she should probably avoid tunnels in France?

Aeroflotgirl · 11/08/2014 23:37

oh dear, could you tell her that she is not a Princess unless she is Royalty and to grow up! Then defriend her

MrsCakesPrecognition · 11/08/2014 23:54

Somehow, I don't think the OP's friend is channelling her inner Princess Royal. I can imagine Princess Anne using very earthy language if confronted with a flappy-handed crier with a unicorn fixation.

trufflehunterthebadger · 12/08/2014 07:10

Snark!

AlpacaPicnic · 12/08/2014 07:46

Princess Anne is a Princess, not a 'Princess' Grin she wouldn't give someone like that the time of day.

AdamLambsbreath · 12/08/2014 09:25

I've met Princess Anne. I wouldn't mess with her.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 12/08/2014 09:28

Oh no. I've got a Princess Wars scenario going on in my head now. My money's on Anne.

WildThong · 12/08/2014 09:44

Shock at grown women behaving like this. A dummy and pigtails, that's just so wrong...
Duck pouts and hand flapping are in teenagers but hopefully they will grow out of it. In adults it's totally pathetic.

Leia: impractical dress, blaster gun, balls-all grasp of the Force despite being Luke's sister

Anne: cupboards full of shotguns, mad horseriding skills, icy disdain lasers shooting from eyes.

I'm backing Anne.

Ooh, I know someone who does this. FB often says things like 'Because I'm a princess I'm going to lie on the sofa and eat chocolate all day'.

Vom.
