Yes, but she should have stood up for her mom. I have arguments with my mom all the time, but if this happened I would’ve stood up for her. Like, without her, I wouldn’t have even been alive. That’s deep.

[@sophialol562]

Ye, without Michelle, Sarah wouldn’t even have a dream. Dance classes aren’t cheap. Sarah shouldn’t just tell her mother to get out. Michelle should have got out tho tbh. But why didn’t Sarah stand up for her mother when Abby was trashing her? Oh bc iTs hEr dReaM?? Guess who help you achieve that dream? Your mother.

[@HelloKittyCandySwirl]

@@zoekarafoti3582 if she stood up for her mom, she'd have to face consequences with Abby too. Michelle took everything out of proportion, it ain't that deep. Sarah was being respectful to her teacher. A grown adult would have kept calm and talked with her child later..

[@sanriogoth3247]

I’ve never seen a mother so insecure about her relationship with her daughter. Yikes.

[@itsblossom276]

I know right. One day Sarah will have to stop dancing for Abby, so Michelle, should let sarah dance while she can. Abby doesn't have the whole life to be with Sarah, Abby won't be there at Sarah's wedding day, Abby won't be there when Sarah has babies, Abby won't be there at Sarah's funeral. While, on the other hand, *Michelle*. Will be there at every moment of Sarah's life, every little bit. And over here- Michelle is *LITERALLY* crying over something that eventually will stop, (I mean the one day Sarah won't be dancing for abby).

its not sarah's job to go against her teacher and defend her mother. michelle is a grown ass adult who can speak for herself and/or leave if she cant stand having abby talk about her. dont become a parent if you're gonna expect your child to act like an adult and protect you when it's actually *YOUR* job to act like an adult and protect *THEM.* its a terrible and abusive thing to do to a kid.

Dance Moms should have done what Bring It! did and not allow parents in the building during rehearsal, lol.

Anike Mosaku Exactly

[@missymani]

She can dance elsewhere, some studio where she gets respect . she chose Abby over her mother.

[@Aka-ix3su]

Yeah just like what i thought ! Too much drama the girl just wanted to dance and the mother is so overwhelmed! She is a mess ! If i were her place i would've laughed it out and talked with my daughter about what's going and don't let her be involved that much of a drama . Abby is to much and the mother too.

[@Aka-ix3su]

@Anike Mosaku i got the point but she cant say that i want to be famous in front of the cameras and the mother knows that too. But it still the same fame and dance what ever she wants .. the mother shouldn't be like that to her and push it to the point to give her the choice.

This is frustrating. Michelle did this to herself. It’s selfish to try and hold your child back bc you can’t listen.

[@lydiaking322]

Kristen Miller how is she trying to hold her back?

[@kristenmiller8867]

Lydia King by saying she can’t dance for Abby and she won’t pick Abby over her and this and that. She’s not “picking” she’s trying to live her dream and her mom is trying to pressure a 12 year old to pick her mother and give up her dream when she could dance and her mother could just shut up

[@lydiaking322]

Kristen Miller but she’s still dancing for Abby, she didn’t make her leave. Abby is the one making her choose. Abby blew a situation that wasn’t a big deal out of proportion for the show. At the end of the day Michelle pays Sarah’s tuition, so dream or not you show you’re mother the respect she deserves. Michelle understands that Sarah wants to dance for Abby for whatever reason and she’s allowing her to do so, while being treated like she is less than for her kid.

[@kristenmiller8867]

Lydia King i agree with this but I feel like respect works both ways. Michelle didn’t respect Abby saying don’t come to me again with any studio drama. She did. She said don’t come to the studio you can’t come. She took her daughter anyway. She was told not to go to the competition. Did anyway. She didn’t respect anything either and that’s how she got into this mess. If she could have just focused on their team and not the other studio drama and minded her own business and not take it to Abby like she was told it wouldn’t even be a thing. Ya know?

[@elm2908]

Kristen Miller the only thing that’s holding her back is Abby. Abby is holding all of these kids back

“A Dream is one thing but a family is everything” Yeah right. Says the woman who took their daughters words out of proportion, yelled at their own daughter for nothing, and added more stress to the daughter. The lady should be proud of her daughter. This show is for the kids, and yet these moms always have something to start. You don’t have to have a strong family to get high with your dreams. You need a strong social circle. People you can depend on. If family treats you like crap, screw them. You can find better people that treat you more like family than they ever will.

[@nevermindmyname813]

It's like parents aren't allowed to set boundaries, keep their child in check, or act like a parent at all without you idiots online crying about it. Yes she yelled at her kid. She was setting boundaries because she is right, she shouldn't listen to an abusive dance teacher over her own mother. There is literally nothing out of line about that.

[@MsJubjubbird]

you shouldn't just cut family off because you disagree with them. Deep relationships with unconditional love are not easy to replace. But this woman is blowing things out of proportion. The child is doing a dance on her own for a few hours, not filing for emancipation. It's just extremely confronting for mothers of daughters this age- especially if they live vicariously through them- when the daughter says for the first time that they don't want their mother by their side and they're going to make their own decision.

[@areanaangel8964]

you can clearly see how much sarah really loves dance and pours her heart and soul into it and i admire her for that. this is an unpopular opinion but i think Michelle needs to go upstairs for now and just let her daughter enjoy her spotlight while she still can. a mother daughter bond is unbreakable and its forever no matter what. You can love your mother with all your heart (which sarah clearly does) AND still pursue your dream. It's not one or the other. michelle needs to understand that sarah will ALWAYS love her 100000000x more than any dance teacher, even if in that one moment, she chose to dance. one moment/one choice does not define your relationship.

I mean she has a point. Family comes first. Those who choose fame over your loved one are the ones who are selfish. The way Sarah spoke to her was rude and that clearly hurt Michelle. Sarah should've talked to her privately in a respectful tone. But I guess the producer's wouldn't allow that.

[@shelbyj1433]

right? the whole time all i could think was how much it would suck to have a parent who is that narcissistic.

[@shelbyj1433]

@Evienne Revelus it's narcissistic because even though she is the parent and could simply tell her daughter that they need to move to a new studio, she is letting her immature daughter make the choice and then gaslighting and guilt tripping her for it. obviously a child isn't going to make a completely objective and selfless choice, it's up to the parent to step in and make the correct ones. but instead this mother would rather continue to let her daughter make the wrong choices and then try to make her daughter feel like she is victimizing HER which is totally wrong. she has the power to end it but she would rather fight with her daughter and pity herself over it.

[@sarahfranklin7208]

@Evienne Revelus I probably wouldn't put my kids in a program with a teacher like abby because of her methods, knowing fully well that she may be mean to me as a mother, or put my child on a tv show for the whole world to see. but if you want to do that with your kids, go ahead.

[@nevermindmyname813]

Y'all are too much. There was nothing toxic about it. If Michelle didn't put her foot down, a precedence would have been set that it's okay for Sarah, a child, to disrespect her mother in favour of Abby. And it's not okay. Michelle was right. Michelle has taken time out of her life away a possible career and her family and her marriage to do this for Sarah, and at the end of the day, a mother's word trumps that of a dance teacher and the child needs to know that. And don't act dumb pretend like Michelle's fears are so far fetched. We watched years of Abby trying to turn kids against their mothers. Chloe, especially, and she made many remarks to Nia and even Kalani about their moms. And how about how she tried to isolate Maddie from everyone in her life? And look at how Kendall treated her mom in favour of "keeping the peace." Michelle didn't do absolutely anything wrong.

[@gaspardepaula9865]

I don't know if this was edited for drama's sake or if she actually did this.....but I think Michelle crossed the line here. Yolanda makes an excellent point. They left....they were dismissed....if she didn't like how Abby was teaching her daughter, she shouldn't have brought Sarah back. (which I'm sure this is probably because they are under contract and COULDN'T leave) Sarah didn't make her stay in the balcony. Sarah didn't make her stay out of the dressing room at competition.....Abby did that. She brought Sarah to Abby so that Sarah could dance on the competition team and that is all Sarah was doing. She was learning her solo. She told her Mom to leave so that Abby wouldn't get mad at her again and throw her off the team. If Michelle had a problem with the dance, she should have gone to Abby in private, like a mature adult and dealt with Abby. It was unfair of her to blame a child for something that she had absolutely no control over.
