Princess

OK I’ll be honest, being the only girl and the youngest by 6 years, I was pretty spoiled by my parents. Never did chores, got plenty of pocket $ etc. Never had my allowance taken away. Mashallah my parents are awesome.

Now see… here’s my thing

I don’t want to live in a ghetto or slum. If that means having less $ for groceries or shopping, I’ll sacrifice.

I hate when someone tells me to do chores. Esp when I go to someones house and someone nudges me to go help them clean or whatever. I hardly do work at home, why would I work at someone else’s house ? This is why i would never survive in a joint family b/c I cant stand having someone tell me to do something.

I think I hate working. Well not the work itself but getting up, commuting etc.

I LOATHE the idea of secondhand furniture. In most of my adult life, most of my furniture has been handed down from my brother–dont get me wrong, he has great taste and buys good quality stuff thats good for years to come. But i’m at a point that I want brand new stuff. Like an adult. Could be ikea, i dont care, just not secondhand. Even if someone were to offer me a few furniture things, i’d turn it down just b/c i dont want it. Meh. maybe its selfish and materialistic but since everyone considers me that way..might as wlell live up to that label right?

Actually, its point 2 and 4 that really make me wonder if I am just being and suffering from the princess syndrome?

Good that you are being honest.

Point number 1. That is understandable. Who would argue with that?

Number 2 definitely smells of being not polite, and princess syndrome, may be.

Number 3. Many desi and non-desi women suffer from it regardless how they were brought up. Some don’t even want to learn how to drive for the same reason. Not so good women.

Number 4. I also never bought any used furniture but I think there is nothing wrong in taking used furniture except if it is a couch or mattress. I don’t want to use ultraviolet light to find out what had happened there before. Ewww!
