[@stanclark8824]

Yup. Plus the cost of it meant that he actually did it for her and also maybe himself in a way. But she should appriciate that and all that he has done for her even if she hates it. He spent a to of cash, but also she is only 9 and he was just trying things that he thought would work for her so he could have her be what he wanted her to be and not let her do her own thing and open up in her own time. Pushy and impatient, but a parent that was actually attempting to do good for their kid which does not happen much these days.

Tbh the singing was the most appropriate thing about the whole ordeal. Something about full grown men and women judging a child on how attractive they think they are seems very off and wrong.

@@crablegs1 how about we don’t put down literal third graders who are forced into pageants for the first time by their parents without any actual coaching and pressured to compete against kids who have done it since they could walk just because her routine, which she might’ve had to put together on her own despite not even wanting to be there, wasn’t elaborate. It’s not remotely her fault. Period. I see where you’re at with it not being what you’d expect from that age group at a pageant, but she isn’t a parent girl. This was her first time, and she talked about what to do with her grandmother. It is age-appropriate for a 9 year old, just not for an 8-10 year old performing in a pageant.

Surely the Dad's first port of call would be to sign her up for something where all the kids are equal and comfortable learning together, like theatre classes, arts and crafts, speech and drama?

Honestly this gives off vibes that it was actually the daughter's idea instead of the dad's and dad just really dived into it believing it would be good for her confidence. I mean this was her first pageant at 9 years old. Normally these pageant parents start doing pageants wayyyy earlier than that before the kid is even old enough to say they want to do it or not. Also the daughter came up with her routine for the talent portion and practiced it all without dad's input. If she didn't want to do the pageant I don't think she would have been that excited to take that kind of initiative.

[@adrianejabelosa5638]

well that may be true but it could also just be because she loves her dad soo much, you would think once everything started to falling apart the dad would've just pulled her out of there (because it wouldn't affect him whatsoever) but he still went with it and even argued with the anouncer lady just to get the child in, tho that may just be because he loves his child so much, but it doesn't change the fact that it comes across as his idea to do this, and also because the girl looked very uncomftrable tho again this could just be the cameras making her nervous but again it also comes across like she doesn't want to be there it can go either way we truly don't know, but she does seem like she gave it her all and that she loves her dad and at the end of the day, i don't think the dad had ill intent, but to me the dude came across as a bit of a karen and in my opinion i pretty bad dad with the way he handled things, tho he is a single father, it doesn't shield him for his perental mistakes

[@caisearbhan4738]

I’m so late to this one, but if I was a single parent with a super shy kid I’d invest in a small pet for them (a rabbit, or Guinea pig), lots of library time and maybe trips to horse farms, museums and places like the ocean so they could do a lot of independent exploring. The pageant angle is counterintuitive.

[@nerdycurls6253]

What makes you say that? He seems like a male karen type but it didn't feel like he's aggressive towards his daughter. He's a single father I'm sure he's just worn out/stressed and trying to hide it from his little girl.

I am an introvert and as a child I was extremely shy and super anxious (I wouldn't talk to strangers, I wouldn't even eat in public) and apparently when I was around 4, some people approached my mother in the mall saying they were kiddie talent reps of one of the local TV stations and wanted to "make [me] a star"...mainly because I am "mixed race", which can be a big deal in Southeast Asia. Luckily my mother had the sense to know the experience would have been a highly traumatic one for me, so she declined. She told me about it a few years ago and I thanked her for not pushing me into that life, genuinely grateful that she put what was best for me first.

“It wasn’t age appropriate” she’s a child. That was adorable. They didn’t get the sexualized stuff they always get. She got to be a kid and the dad was sure to present her as a “lady”. Good dad

[@mrrandomtastic4118]

I will always hate beauty pageants for kids, but the dad just seems like an always nervous kind of guy.

[@JustHackingAround]

I think this is a case of the father being so animated and energetic and outgoing (albeit in a weird way) that the daughter's just never had the chance to develop her own personality. Always overshadowed by him, always being suppressed by his own behavior. It's sad to watch. Hopefully he'll learn to back off and give her the room she needs to grow on her own in the future, without being forced. Being a single dad can't be easy, so he deserves points for taking care of her at least.

[@evagronlund1786]

Oh sure, the best way to work on your shyness is to compete in a beauty pageant, there's no way that could possible go wrong. Great job dad!

My God, if your kid is shy, put them in like a group activity in school that they'd more likely stay involved in. I did a few things through school with age and some of them helped with socializing a lot. There are plenty of other interest to be had.

I will say, these parents are kind of crazy but when my daughter wanted to start doing pageants, she gained SO MUCH confidence in the year she’s been doing them. We only do natural pageants though.

[@kaleyr817]

Can you tell us more about natural pageants??

[@SangriaDracul]

what is that?

[@vetortheplaguewerewolf]

At least your daughter wants to do pageants. And from what I read, you never force her to keep going or make her suffer. So many parents force their kids to do pageants. I hope your daughter continues to be happy.

[@justabird7802]

Just providing another opinion here, im not saying anyone is right or wrong: This is probably the 4th or 5th time I've heard someone mention natural pageants in these types of videos. Girls mention feeling even worse than regular pageants, because if they don't win they can blame it on someone having better makeup or extensions or whatever, you really feel like you're losing because you're just naturally uglier. That makes me sad i hope that isn't the case for everyone. I can see the positives in putting yourself in front of people to gain confidence.
