When 30-year-old Ashlee White and her mom, Ilene, meet in the city for a luxurious girls’ day, they start with massages at Great Jones Spa in NoHo, grab fro-yo at Bloomingdale’s, then hit up the designer shops.
Mom splurges on custom Louis Vuitton bags while her petite daughter — who is barely 5 feet tall with her signature stilettos — binges on Jimmy Choos and Louboutins, all on Dad’s dime.
Then they go home — together.
“I know this sounds cheesy, but everything about moving home has been great. My family are my best friends,” says White, an event planner who moved back in with her folks after a serious health scare last year.

“I have my mom to do laundry, I have the maid for cleaning my room. It’s awesome! My parents go food shopping every Saturday, so the house is stocked. And they get everyone’s favorite foods.”
“Jersey Shore” is finally over, but there’s a new reality series showcasing another set of outrageous, privileged 20- and 30-somethings in the New York area.
Meet the cast of Bravo’s upcoming reality show “Princesses: Long Island,” premiering June 2 at 9 p.m.
We all know about the Boomerang generation — kids right out of college who couldn’t get a job post-recession, forcing them to return to the nest.
But that’s not the case with these six Long Island gals, who love mooching off mom and dad so much, they have no plans of leaving anytime soon.
They’re trading rent bills for parental perks such as unlimited credit lines, laundry service and nightly home-cooked meals.
After years of living in Manhattan walk-up apartments, Chanel Omari, 28, has returned to her old room back home, where she blogs about fashion. She says now she never has to worry about mundane chores such as stocking up on toilet paper.
“I don’t have to deal with the water not working or having to call the super to fix my toilet if it’s clogged,” says Omari.
And they aren’t the only ones loving life with mom and dad. According to a Pew Research Center study released last year, three out of 10 young adults ages 25 to 34 have lived at home in recent years, and 78 percent of them are satisfied with their living arrangement.
One Hofstra professor has already talked about the show in her media literacy class. Jingsi Christina Wu says her students, who are mostly from Long Island, are worried about how “Princesses” will portray women from wealthy backgrounds.
“People assume fans of reality TV tend to copy behavior of cast members, while, in reality, a lot of people actually hate-watch to feel better about themselves,” Wu says. “Of course, this show might risk suggesting it’s OK to live off your parents without working your hardest.”
But as the “Princesses” prove, life with the ’rents isn’t all shopping sprees and unlimited toilet paper.
Amanda Bertoncini, 26, who started a business by saving cash living at home, confesses to having a co-dependent relationship with her mom, Babs.
Just like fellow Long Islanders Lindsay Lohan and mom Dina, they’re known to go out clubbing together — and get into screaming matches.
“She said, ‘Amanda, honestly, just get the F out!’ ” Bertoncini says of a recent fight after a night on the town. “I left, and I stayed at my friend’s house. Then my mom wanted me home so badly the next day, and I gave it to her and didn’t go home for a week.”
Luckily, Bertoncini can now escape to her boyfriend’s house when things get heated.
But not all of the “Princesses” are so lucky in the love department.
“When some guys hear that I live at home, they are weirded out,” says White, who thinks it’s OK for a woman to live with her parents but not for a man to do the same. “I would never date a guy who lives at home. I’d be like, ‘Go date your mom’s friend,’ ” she says, before admitting, “There’s a double standard.”
Then there’s the issue of bringing a guy home.
When Omari recently sneaked a date back into her house, her Orthodox Jewish mother burst in on the pair, yelling: “Chanel, what are people going to think of you? What are you, some kind of whore? I didn’t raise you like this!”
She never heard from the guy again.
Joey Lauren Brodish (who, full disclosure, was once employed by The Post as an assistant) was living with her boyfriend in TriBeCa when he got a new job and told her, “I’m moving to London, and you’re not.”
Within 12 hours, the 30-year-old entrepreneur moved back in with her dad in Freeport — where he nags her to Windex the counter after every snack.
“If I have to hear ‘Shut the lights off’ one more time, I’m going to go crazy,” she says. “It’s like I hit a button and I’m 18 again.”
Still, even the “Princesses” who have pads of their own prefer their parents’ places.
Casey Cohen, 28, splits her time between her Chelsea apartment and the family house in Jericho. But she only stays in the city on weekends, when she works at 1Oak as a bottle-service waitress; the rest of the week she’s with the folks, kicking up her Louboutins.
“The city has this go-getting mentality, 24/7 working, and going home gives me a break,” she says. “It lets me get out and breathe.”
Erica Gimbel’s family also has a crash pad on the Upper East Side, but she chooses to spend most of her time in Old Westbury, tooling around in Daddy’s yacht.
And his efforts to rein in her spending have fallen on deaf ears.
“He tries to yell at me when I spend too much money,” says Gimbel, 29. “I look at fashion as an art form. He doesn’t get it, though!”
