Reply #33: You can be raised by working parents and still be a "princess"

[haele]

It's not a rich kid/poor kid problem.

Some of the kidlet's schoolmates are being raised just above the poverty line and still think they're princesses, and pull that "Mean Girl" clique crap all the time. They think it's cute to be a Brat, and have no problems talking back to adults, bullying, lying to and about, and stealing from their school-mates (as well as shoplift) with impunity.
Heck, one of her former friends, now apparently a mortal "enemy" regularly bullies her mom and grandparents into buying her new "Southpole" and "BabyPhat" clothes pretty much every other week - "I can't wear the same outfit twice". And she apparently still just throws them away if one of the clique she runs with hasn't expressed an interest in the clothing item. She, her mom, and male siblings live at the grandparent's house, every able-bodied adult works multiple jobs, and the whole family is on Medicaid and other aid programs. Yet this girl, a now 17-year-old middle child of three, is "the princess".

The princess attitude comes from whomever is raising the child and allows the girl to act that way. Not some economic generality.
