Massive Mistake Or Harmless Indulgence?
111 Answers
How do we feel about this little girl's extravagant Prom night. I'm all for treating your kids and even spoiling them a bit but I wonder if this sets people up for unrealistic expectations later on, because in my experience the world doesn't treat divas kindly.
I'm also concerned that this has been accomplished off the back of the other sister who had forgone her Prom- wouldn't it have been nicer to treat her to something very nice instead? Any thoughts?

What will she expect at 16? ....and yes I agree about her sister....opting out doesn't mean that you should lose out. My other thought is what the other children will be doing on that night and how they will treat this little princess?
In my day proms weren't a "thing" at 16, let alone at 11 and I am not sure that the should be now.....its like "graduating" from pre school...I mean who is if for?
Oh and if they paid 400 for that dress they were ripped off....do they not know about direct ordering?

If I was a secondary teacher who realised that I'd shortly be getting that girl in my Year 7 class, I'd be expecting to have to put up a spoiled little brat, whose mother blamed her daughter's inattentiveness and inability to do her homework on a 'personality clash' between the two of us.

Well this seems pretty unanimous. For myself I can't see the sense in spending £1k on an occasion for an 11 year old like this.
Do something useful for her if you must spend that sort of money like help her set up a small business, teach her about the need for charity first hand, help her invest it wisely, but to me it just seems like it's setting a precedent that won't be followed in the real world and then that little girl will crumble under the strain of not being the centre of attention, getting everything she wants and being generally fawned all over and adored. Prudie also has a point that a little girl that age who is overweight needs some help now rather than later. I'm still really worried about the other two kids. Fair enough if they also treat them massively but if not that will harbour resentment on an enormous scale, if not now then later.
