Her Daughter Dressed Up For A Princess-Themed Birthday Party, But Then The Birthday Girl’s Mom Tried To Force Her Daughter To Change
This 34-year-old woman is the mom to two young children, and she has an 8-year-old son as well as a 4-year-old daughter.
She and her husband decided to name their daughter Aurora, as it is similar to the name of her late father-in-law, and it does sound lovely paired with their last name.
“It had nothing to do with the princess from Sleeping Beauty,” she explained. “In spite of that, we’ve had fun with that movie in the past, and ever since my daughter realized that she shared names with a Disney character, Princess Aurora has been her favorite.”
“Our family went to Disney World in July, and while there, we bought my daughter a Princess Aurora costume. She adores it and wears it whenever she has the chance.”
“Two weeks ago, one of Aurora’s friends from school threw a princess-themed birthday party. She encouraged her friends to wear costumes. My daughter wanted to go as her favorite character, which didn’t surprise me at all.”
So, her daughter got dressed up in her Princess Aurora costume, and they headed over to the party. The birthday girl opened the door to greet them, and the birthday girl also happened to be dressed up as Princess Aurora.
She honestly was not aware that the birthday girl was going to be dressed in the same costume as her daughter until they got there.
She did get concerned that the birthday girl was dressed the same way as her daughter, but then the birthday girl got super excited and mentioned they looked like they were twins.
She thought that was super cute, and the two little girls ran off to go play, which made her forget about the matching costumes.

Half an hour later, she was sitting down at a table alongside some of the other moms, and the birthday girl’s mom approached her.
This mom wanted to know if she had a change of clothes for her daughter, and she said that she does.
This mom then requested that she make her daughter change into the spare clothes she had. The birthday girl’s mom then went on to say that she had hired a professional photographer to take photos of the children, and she wanted a group shot at the end of the party.
“She didn’t want anyone wearing the same costume as her daughter in these pictures,” she said.
“She also thought her daughter might get jealous since my kid gets to share her name with their favorite princess. Now, if the birthday girl was the one who had a problem, I might’ve considered changing Aurora into her spare clothes.”
“But no, she was genuinely excited they were dressed the same. It also didn’t feel fair to force my daughter to be the only one without a costume in a party full of children in princess dresses. I said no and explained my reasoning to the girl’s mom. She insisted for a few minutes, but I held my ground. Some of the other moms started to back me up, and she eventually got up and left.”
Well, earlier this week, she was on her way to pick her children up when she ran into the birthday girl’s mom.
This mom told her she had ruined her daughter’s party by letting her own daughter continue to wear the exact same costume.
This mom then said she can’t ever look at the photos of her daughter’s party without being disgusted by how she behaved.
“I thought she was exaggerating, but I’m starting to doubt myself,” she added. “Our conflict has found its way to the mom group chat we’re both in, and opinions over there are divided.”
“Some think having two girls wear the same costume is no big deal; others think I should have changed my daughter’s clothes.”
