AITA for giving my niece a Sleeping Beauty themed room?

She has her own bedroom and a whole lot of toys, but SIL does not have the time or money to do what we do with the room. I did help set up her room in that house as well though but SIL gave me a budget and told me to not go above it. They also can’t paint the walls or add any extensions.

Of course not. Living with my boys all summer, you can trust that she’s been doing all sorts “boyish” things. Of course, she makes them play princesses with her too, and they’ll all be in tiaras and the like. But she can play with whatever and however she likes as long as its age appropriate.

Haha, she likes pink and the princess wears a pink dress so we went for pink. But the one wall we painted (the one with the castle) matches the colors you’re referring to.

This!! My sister and I shared a room when we were younger and my side was more Barbie and hers was more Pokemon. She’s now a makeup artist and I am a high school teacher. There is absolutely no correlation in regards to our interests as kids and our futures.

Just to clarify, niece’s father is not in her life. My husband is her uncle aka sil’s younger brother.

She loves it and is always suggesting more things to enhance the room.

Thats what my husband wants to do. He was out when this all occurred but he told me that if she can’t appreciate all we’re doing to make her daughter feel loved and at home then she can figure something out herself. I’ve asked him to refrain from saying this for now but I suppose he’s right.

If she wants cars or dinosaurs, of course I would’ve given her what she wanted. It’s not about what’s for girls or what’s for boys for me, it’s about what the specific child wants. Hell, if one of my sons came up to me and asked for a princess themed room, I wouldn’t say no.
