I did desperately want to be the little mermaid from the ages of about 3 to 6
And I enjoyed all the disney films but I was very much not in to pink or princesses or any of that shit. On the other hand, I know/have known a number of little girls who were, despite their parents best efforts to discourage it. If she turns out to be one of those girls I think you'll just have to put up with it, she'll only resent it if you won't let her play with her favourite stuff. Best thing to do is probably what you're doing, having other, classier stuff for her to play with at yours and hope she doesn't get too fond of the stuff at her mums.
