On being a daddy's princess.

Girls are criticized for putting themselves out there as 'daddy's princesses'. Which is obviously, meant to divert attention towards their intrinsic worth. Though almost  everyone wants validation and that sort of attention. Some people do it in more subtle ways , they do it all the same.
I would take this opportunity to ask the ones who criticize it , which is basically the male population of this country.  You guys have basically prescribed to a lifestyle that is Institutionalisation of the act of being daddy's and mommy's princes. Talk about unhealthy attachments, Everything in your life is usually  decided by others. Even 30 and married , you probably live with your folks and seek your mum's permission to go out. Who is the helpless baby boy here ? And who is being an adult by leaving family behind to move in with strangers ?  Obviously there are daddy's princesses. That's they reminding you that there is a tug, a pull at their backs, a safety net to fall back on because that is where they derive their self worth. Because sadly , society has decided that no two individuals can keep a relationship on their own! AND Because sometimes in being mama's boys , you do tend to forget that the girl you are living with has no more binding to your folks than you do to hers. You do tend to walk all over her or watch her be walked over ! In the best case scenario of a living together as a large family, You make them succumb to a life where getting along with people is a result of expectation in stead of free will. Forced relationships come at a cost , first an opportunity to be know one another genuinely is lost. Second, your spirit is chipped away and made hollow with each act of pretense.
So  Obviously , they will live with you, they will love you- Society doesnt leave them an option -but they will remain daddy's princess. This persona is their armor! An impeccable imagery of unconditional love! They flaunt their loved and adored status because their identities are in danger all their life. That's also why they want little tokens of appreciation from you. 
But when you are in an unchallenged superior place , ridicule becomes easy. Still , I don't envy you your audacity.  I would be a daddy's princess ten times over if the other option was being like you.
