Let her be a princess, fantasy is good as long as the scheduled cooking and cleaning gets done. What’s the harm? If she demands special treatment by playing the princess card, patiently explain that she’s a princess, just not in that particular context. Meanwhile, get her one of those cardboard crowns at burger king.
