Toddlers and .......what?!

So I watched "Toddlers and Tiaras" on TLC the other night, and needed a couple of days to digest that absolute nastiness of that show.

I have many problems with it, and I just have to share them!!!

What the hell is wrong with people first off......I know every mom thinks their child is beautiful and/or handsome as they should, as well as instilling in your child that they should feel the same about themselves...HOWEVER making your child a ego-maniac from the gate is garbage. One mother had twins, and was completely doting on one of the girls, even saying on camera that one was prettier than the other!!!! DISGUSTING! SERIOUSLY?! .........

One mother went on and on about how her kid always won, and usually the big titles....OK we get it your kid is cute and has charisma, but what I am seeing of your "princess, angel, darling....yadda yadda" is a spoiled, entitled, little brat. Blatantly acting out and sending major cries for help, the kind of help only you as a parent can give...try this on for size: take your baby out of the pageant scene, give your child discipline, guidance and some unconditional love and see where your little human ends up. This same woman stated she spent between 65-70K YES THOUSAND on her 5 year old's pageant dresses and misc......do you realize that money could be put away for an EDUCATION?!

Now I do realize though, that there are many scholarships available through these pageants, but do you really want your child to grow up thinking that if she puts on stage make-up, spray tan and fake teeth, that she is going to get whatever she wants? Including an education? I hope these women aren't so ignorant that they don't realize how many kids out there either don't receive any education or struggle to get the most mediocre education that you could hardly call them literate. You know 65-70 thousand dollars would be a perfect amount to put into a college fund, or perhaps a scholarship for underprivileged kids??????

I've know people who have put their kids in pageants, and when their children said "I don't want to do this anymore" they took them out, unfortunately the people in this TV show don't seem to be that type.

I am sure that there is a lot of editing done on this show, as on all the others but I can't help but think these people's true colors shine through the obnoxious things that come out of their mouths regardless of editing.

The woman who had the twins, was at the pageant and the "prettier" one was a complete BRAT, the dad stepped in and said "that's enough, her attitude stinks, she's done" THANK YOU!!!!! Later on in the show the girl who wasn't as pretty( or so momma thinks) won a title and was soooo excited and even offered to giver her sister all of her balloons, the whole time saying "I won, I'm so excited" .....then they cut to a clip of just the sisters talking to the camera and the brat girl is hamming it up while the other girl was sitting there ....then the one girl says to the camera "I won today( or something along those lines) and the brat girl says " NO I won, mommy told me so"

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

As parents it is our responsibility to make sure our kids are given the tools to become decent humans, and when they get to the age where they choose the person that they are going to be, we can only hope that WE as parents have done everything in our power to make sure they become the best they can be. Our kids are so innocent to the world around them, so trusting of everyone it makes me sick to see people exploit them as if they are property. Well guess what...when your daughter becomes pregnant at 15 or 16 or gets some STD because she had the need to get validation from some punk because you made it so painfully obvious that she wasn't as pretty as her sister or wasn't as good as her sister....you have no one to blame but yourself.

I am so lucky to have the mom that I do, and I am equally lucky to be surrounded by people that are wonderful parents.
