Over-Enthusiastic Beauty Pageant Mum Causes Her Child to Lose! | Toddlers & Tiaras

[@booklover1298]

The girl said she doesn't like doing pageants so her mom shouldn't be making her do them. The mom is trying to live her childhood through her daughter. Also, the mom shouldn't be saying that the daughter has ADHD when she hasn't taken her to a doctor.

Exactly. Why is she "undiagnosed"? A child should not be forced into unnecessary activities they don't like. I had all three of girls try dance, gymnastics, Tae Kwon Do, and musical instruments. They each liked some and disliked some. I accepted that.

I can see why parents are weary of the meds. doctors love to throw pill after pill onto people, and if you can naturally handle it without, it's probably the healthiest. but if you're really suffering and don't have proper guidance on how to go about it without meds, then it may be best just to do the meds.

There may be a VERY few instances (i only saw 2 in 15 years and they also had other sever mental health issues on top of it) it could be helpful but as an RN and mother of 8 it is usually what parents say just because their child isnt behaving. I tried it with our oldest because we felt guilted into it but after a few months decided against it. Also later in life he ended up addicted to any kind of stimulant and getting arrested for it. I have it severely (see a psychiatrist and counselor for it) but learned to use it to my advantage. My 5th child has it but we are teaching him to learn how to make it work for him. Neither child misbehaved. Just had a really hard time focusing and not figiting. Bad behavior is learned not caused by adhd. Some kids might have a harder time sitting still but being rude and disrespectful is not a symptom of adhd. A LOT of parents just dont want to deal with their kid and teach them how to deal with it.

It is sad to read the comments here and find that so many parents still refuse to get their children the help that they need.

[@absolutelyridiculous6743]

My daughter has ADHD, and after many forms of intervention (none which worked) and many, MANY papers of documentation I decided she needed medication. It's a very difficult decision, but it takes the edge off her and she has begun maturing socially and catching up with her peers, and her focus is so much better now! She's on a non stimulant so her weight doesn't drop after Adderall caused a plateau for weight gain and then a dip (she's already skinny). I'm a strong advocate for early intervention, it makes me sad reading stories where people could have thrived with help in their youth but now struggle as adults because of lack of care years ago. 😢

[@utecanbolat3590]

Theses "pageants" where little girls are styled to look like adults, attract the wrong kind of viewers, and I am so glad we don't have anything like that here in Germany. Plus, why force a kid (a hyperactive kid, at that) to participate, even though she does not even seem to like it all that much?

Ik it’s so disgusting.

[@jabberwaki1625]

Her pushy mom cost her the pagent and her childhood.

[@leahbateman5545]

The fact that she was joking around about having to "put up" with her child is so wrong to me, no child should have to hear that they are being put up with by their parent(s) regardless if they're joking or not

[@karenvincent5202]

This woman’s eldest daughter was a pageant girl. She had cystic fibrosis and it eventually killed her. She wasn’t talented but this woman pushed her and got really upset when she didn’t win.

[@WifeMamaArtist]

I don’t understand the point of pageants…

[@Peaceful_Rayne]

Me neither

[@zephyrr914]

It’s so stupid women can live through their children and so gross men can drool over babies. Straight up abuse!

[@telajames8416]

It’s supposed to be to raise there confidence and showcase there talents or whatever but honestly covering them up with makeup and fake tans and making them feel like they have to be perfect kinda defeats the whole purpose of that

[@swavnasahoo711]

To bring in money to explotiativve organisations,TV broadcasts and their sponsors.

[@Niallmylove]

“This is mine for putting up with you” who says that to their child?? “Welfare mom” I don’t even have words “Hit me” oh lord “Undiagnosed adhd” take her to a damn doctor Poor child it’s very obvious she doesn’t want to do this.

[@amberflores1615]

The difference between a “ welfare mom” and pageant mom is one truly cares for the child and the other only cares for themselves and winning 😂

[@kat-tiesangels5159]

As a Mother, I believe whole heartedly that """ The Mothers of these innocent girls are WANNA BE BEAUTIES!!"""""" And people wonder why little girls get trafficked!! Just look at the personalities being drilled into them! A PERFECT EXAMPLE!! SHAME ON YOU! ALL CHILDREN ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL UNDER GODS LOVE!!!

[@cosmicmuffin322]

This is pure misogynistic child abuse. This is a p*do's wet dream. I cannot describe how exploitative and disgusting it is.

[@rebecca8525]

I feel so bad for the little girl. This is how it started for Britney Spears.

[@yamsyeet1173]

The girls reaction on being told to smile is understandable.

[@narjolepsy]

she did not compare a socioeconomically struggling mother to herself. that’s so disrespectful and distasteful.

[@bellagilbs]

“When they get older like 9 or 10, it’s a serious thing” No, nothing at the age of 9 or 10 should be a serious activity

[@carleighbeth7790]

Anyone else think the fact there's adults judging girls in their bathing suits is disgusting 😮

[@eugenia6356]

Why, is she claiming Cassidy has ADHD, when she hasn’t brought Cassidy to a specialist? What the hell?

[@sammycumming7411]

I know I have diagnosed adhd and the meds help

[@michellet7013]

Why do all the kids look like southern women from the 80’s? 😂

[@sabdiivette8936]

Why is she letting her daughter slap her hand? Don’t get mad at your daughter if she’s aggressive or hits you when she gets older. Terrible.

[@Yugiohfans11]

I noticed that the child's crown collection is in the living room rather than her bedroom.

[@nirvanafatal]

These parents better put all this effort towards the kids education

[@BillyAlabama]

Cassidy deserves to have a real mother. It’s certainly not the child pretending to be that.

[@jacquelinevillarreal657]

Mom is a crazy lady…

[@kathleentate8343]

The girl said it, I don't want to be here, my mom makes me smile

[@autumnstone7618]

I'm sorry but it made me so happy to see the other girl win & the brat lose! Lol I lost it when she started punching the balloon! Lmaooo

[@ticketyboo2456]

Autumn Stone I hope to all that is good that you are not a mother. You sound so vindictive and nasty. The children are the victims here and that chonk of a mother is the actual spoilt brat.

[@hannahxx17]

Pageants should come with a code of conduct for parents. Automatic disqualification for any pushy parents.

[@denisestevens3102]

This is really all about moms who didn't get to live the princess life it's sad what they put there kids through ..

[@sharonlotter6689]

The way the mum wore the tiara shows that it's all about her 💁‍♀️😑

[@mexipatti]

she started when she was two months old. I am picturing a baby laying on the stage in a teeny tiny outrages night club dress and tons make up,, false eyelashes , fake nails.. a wig and tiny little hight heels.. the grand prize is a years worth of pampers,, and tiny tiara . the only difference is now she is few years older.

[@hayley.elr-5403]

Makaylas parents although we barley saw them at all seems like good parents “we’re ok if she doesn’t win” they seemed happy for her too not just happy to look good that their kid won. And the child seemed genuinely happy

[@luisstanker1491]

So terrible when parents missuse d kids to make her own dreams come true.

[@cherylb2008]

“She can tear your head off” Mom: “ huh huh huh huh huh” Omg!

[@chevinmalia8765]

I'm a counselor. These kids will be my clients in 6-26 years.

[@ticketyboo2456]

Horrible abusive mother needs a good hiding.
