Call me crazy if you want, but I think that it's important that we let our daughters enjoy the whole princess phase. I don't mean that as an insult to any of the moms out there who have tom-boys as daughters, I'm sure your daughter/s are amazing as well. All I'm saying is that it's important for our daughters to know that it's okay to be a girl and to be girly. If we were to take that away from them I think that would cause a few too many issues. (As I'm writing this, it's 1:19am, so I apologize if at any point I start to not make sense) It is important to teach them that there's more to life than just living in a big castle, including the fact that her house doesn't have to be huge, just a place that she can call home. Anyway... what I originally wanted to say is that, I love the princess phase and think that it's important to let our girls enjoy it and as mothers we need to teach them how to be girls and one day women. If we lose that, then we lose hope for the future generations of girls.
