Missed out on Princess Night

[Bree Wagner]

I just got done sending my wife and daughters off to a Princess Party where all the little girls will be watching the new Disney Jr princess movie. They're all dressed to the nines and my wife was looking fabulous with the help of some sandals she borrowed from me!

It's hard not to feel that I'm missing out on the fun. Not that I'd really want to go watch over a bunch of 4 year-old kids, but who could pass up the chance to get all dolled up? The damn the consequences part of me would have liked to ask my daughter 'Do you want Daddy to be a princess too?' and the answer probably would have been yes. Luckily, the rational part of my brain is dominant and knows it's not the time for anything like that.

Still...

The trouble with rationality is that it is rational. At least there was no Denver pink fog rolling in.

Sounds a bit like going to Disneyland dressed.
Very wise, not a good move, plenty of opportunities later on. :)

Oh, can I sympathize, Bree! Those are some of the most frustrating moments! that and having to sit through a Wedding or formal event in a "monkey suit."

I too am likely missing a Princess event. My spouse and I have reservations for an actual adult women's Princess dress-up event in another city in about a month and something has come up and it looks like we will need to be someplace else. I already had my costume and everything.

Enjoy your daughters (as I know you do). There will be other times.

Hugs,
Persephone.

Persephone, sorry your missing your event. :( I know exactly what you feel about those formal events when even though I think I may be looking fabulous as a guy that there is still that feeling of "If only I got to do this another way..."

I'll definitely be enjoying the time with my daughters even if my 3 month old has a serious case of screaming whenever she spends time with daddy.

It's a damn shame, isn't it. Well put Laura.

[Persephone]

Persephone, sorry your missing your event. :(

We spoke to the lady in charge today and no refund. It was a fairly substantial amount of money. And more bad news, she has decided this is the last of these events that she is putting on because it is too much work. I had always wanted to be a Princess.

Hugs,
Persephone.

Bree, I can imagine the reaction of the mothers of all of those other 4 year olds, rational helps keep us out of a lot of trouble! Persephone, with your life, why not hold your own Princess party, plenty of people already accept you you as the princess you are already!

2 words come to mind Bree: NOT APPROPRIATE!

Unless your out, TS, and dress daily.

[Vickie_CDTV]

Being dressed en femme as a princess, around other people's children could really be problematic (unless they all knew about you and were all good friends of yours.) Best you didn't go there.

[MssHyde]

wow close call, no the true feels slipping out. I loan my wife girly things too. (I don't mind, as long as she give's me everything back. to be honest, I would rather have things a GG has used. (don't ask me why)

It's funny, I've never been into costumes, or roleplay games, but if the opportunity presented itself I would once like to try princess, bride, or french maid. Maybe some halloween, but it's not on my bucket list.-Celeste

Thanks Tina! I might just do that!

And Bree, I do agree with the others, but clearly you knew rational would win too. The real thing is always how it feels when that happens and so I share your, for lack of a better word, frustration.


Hugs,
Persephone.

I have 4 granddaughter I have so want to take them shopping, to get there hair done, and other girly think but like you rational takes over, I am the grandfather that take them riding horse and to the gun range and for hikes. Something are better left alone.

[Bree Wagner]

It's really just about the feeling of "Wouldn't it be nice if..."

I know just how lucky I am to have everything that I do, but I'm very much not a saint so it'll never stop me from wishing I had it just a bit better! :devil:
