I feel bad for him...imagine how he feels after reading these comments. Imagine a whole comment section laughing and making fun of your looks. At least he smiles at his daughter unlike some of those cranky pageant parents who look down at their kids.

[@michealwilliams472]

Yeah. I was thinking about how hurtful it is to be criticized online. This guy isn't perfect, and people might disagree with what he is doing, but he is trying. My parents never pushed me to do something like this or move outside my comfort zone, and I wish they had.

[@jodiebug1]

I don’t think he’s living his own dreams through her. He didn’t once mention winning and he obviously let her handle her talent portion herself. He just wants her to feel pretty and accomplished and have a chance to come out of her shell. He seems like a very loving parent spending time with his daughter to give her a good experience.

[@MsJubjubbird]

I think he's loving. But given how much time he spends preening himself, this is dress ups for him, not what she wants to do.

[@lozzylols]

He is very sweet, and wants the best, you can see he truly loves his Hailey, but is slightly off in regards in what his daughter needs. Part of me wants him to just stop, sit down and talk to her. But this is just a small part of their life so I can't judge!

as supportive as he is, it's clear the decision was his to suit his interests. She's not interested and probably wants to do something else. There are lots of ways to bring out a child's confidence

[@mowganashwey]

@@MsJubjubbird I think that as long as he doesn't push her to continue, if she dislikes it, trying new activities and stepping out of your comfort zone is healthy! I was extremely shy as a kid and I appreciate my parents asking me to try sports, music, and clubs. It got me out of my shell, I learned new skills, and once a 'season' was over it was my choice whether to continue or not! Seems like he is doing something like this, to me :) edit, I was in pageants when I was super young, so I don't even remember, but they pulled me out as soon as I stopped having fun

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@mowganashwey I don;t think that;s the activity he wants to do though. She's along for the ride and is too passive to say no. Rather than picking the activity that he wants, he should sit and have several very long and relaxed discussions about what she would like to do, possibly with some prompting because she is not going to come out and name it on her own. There will be something she wants to do, be it sports or music or a boardgames club that canhelp build her confidence.

And he is not forcing her to wear tones of makeup or to wear too open clothes (just dresses appropriate for her age. He is also pays attention for a design). This is what pageants are made for. Having parent-child moments, build confidence, it’s like a sport (preparation, joy of both process and result), invest in child’s development. He is by far the most responsible, caring parent who acts as an adult I’ve seen in these series. He may act on camera unusual, but he is not killing somebody or going against the law or breaking his daughter. This trait helps him to stay healthy and build close bond with his daughter. Her mother is sweet too. It’s seems like her parents keep contact with each other even after divorce. They are for her no matter what which is important at that young age.

I personally know someone who strived to not be flamboyant and appear as your typical “straight man”. Once he came out, he was a lot more openly flamboyant. So at some point in time, he could’ve been keeping up the appearance as if he was straight.

Omggggggh the dad is absolutely hilarious. He needs to bust out of that closet and do pageants himself. He seriously has the temperament for it.

We were approached and decided together to do the pageant. I know it comes across as weird we are regular people and thought it would be an adventure. Good or bad we don’t regret we did it. I love my daughter and she loves me. I will share a recent photo 10 year later if anyone wants to see it and will be nice. I do not have veneers either. We both have an almost non existent top lip and I had been tanning so my teeth appear extra white. Just go easy on me people. This is hurtful... put yourself in my shoes for half a second.

Bless her she does not look like she is enjoying it, she's scared. You don't force your kids to do something if they are shy.

Personally I don't agree with this.

Hey! I’m a pageant girl, I’ve been competing for almost 7 years now. I really hate that we get such a bad rap because of shows like Toddlers and Tiaras, when in actuality most pageants are nothing like this. I started out just like this girl, I barely spoke, I couldn’t order my own food at restaurants and couldn’t even do class presentations, but pageants completely changed me. I started doing natural pageants, which all have pretty strict rules about no makeup, fake tans, falls (fake hair), and flippers (fake teeth). After I did one, we got hooked and started travelling to compete in more, I got to spend more time with my mom, I got to meet new friends from different countries, and provinces and I got introduced to lots of talent and modelling agents. As a kid I tried lots of different sports and activities like dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading but I never really made friends or enjoyed it as much as I enjoy pageants. Pageants girls are some of THE NICEST people you’ll ever meet, there are always going to be mean girls in every sport or activity, but most pageant girls treat each other like sisters. Pageants not only taught me confidence, public speaking, interview skills, poise and grace but you learn how to loose gracefully, how to take criticism and how to be humble. I went from this shy little girl, to this confident, well spoken girl who has won many national titles over the years. I have competed in almost every different kind of pageant you can think of including natural, semi-natural, scholarship, and glitz (yes, Toddlers and Tiaras style glitz). I’ve met some of the girl who have made appearances on the show and they are nothing like what they seem on TV. I lost many times, I got told I would never win, I competed against friends, and felt sad reading the judges score cards. But all of those things just drove me to be better, I learned from them and not only bettered myself on stage but off as well. I haven’t just made friends through pageants I’ve made family. Without pageants I wouldn’t have had the confidence to try out for my high school’s musical productions, I wouldn’t have had the public speaking skills to do presentations in class, I wouldn’t have the confidence to just turn away from someone when they try to bring me down. Those are all life skills you can’t get out of dance, or baseball or gymnastics. 99.99% of us pageants girls love what we do and would be a completely different person if we hadn’t started pageants. So please if you watch Toddlers and Tiaras don’t bash pageants or the girls that do them until you actually get to experience what we do first hand, because the crown and sash is only half of it.
