"Mom...I've got issues"

My little ballerina went on a playdate today. She got in my car and said "mom, I've got issues" in a very sassy (yet cute) tone. I said "what honey" and she said "my friend has TWO tvs in her room and one of them is a FLAT SCREEN and she has a BATHROOM in her room and I have none of that and it's not fair". I later figured out that the child has her own room with a tv and her own playroom which is the location of the flatscreen.

I'm not one to judge (ha ha, that was funny) and everyone can raise their children how they would like. But, come on, you're making it hard on the prudent parents don't you think?!! This is the same year that my daughter wrote a note to the tooth fairy to tell her $1 was not enough because all of her friends are getting webkinz for a lost tooth and she didn't want money, she wanted a webkinz.

Naturally, I told her that we thought tvs weren't for bedrooms and I didn't have a tv in my room until I married daddy (the truth...I didn't have a tv in my room until I lived with daddy) and she didn't need one now. I told her I'd her buy one for college. The bathroom....since we only have 2 kids I bet she'll have her own bathroom as a teenager...but I did not tell her that. ;)
