What are your thoughts on child pageants?

Question

I just watched Toddlers & Tiaras and am enuinely curious if that's an actual representation of that world?

Answer

Would never let my kid participate in one. They're literally dressing up kids in pounds of makeup and sexualizing them, plus grading them on their looks. Which I find disgusting

Answer

Not for me and not how I raise my kids. It makes me sad to watch it

Answer

I wouldn't do it due to the cost but I think if the kid actually enjoys it then I'd let them

Answer

I'm watching it now lol. I think the drama is soo funny. But no, I would not put my child in something like that and I would most definitely would not fit in with the rest of the moms. I think I would probably shoot myself if I had to put up with those women.

Answer

They are so expensive. I bet what their parents put into the child's pagent clothes, classes, pictures, tans, fees, etc. could cover college for a semester to a year depending on the university. Sure it might be fun for the child, but why not invest something that could actually benefit the child even later. I can only imagine their self-esteem issues. There are people who judge the beauty of babies! Like 6mth olds. It's insane.
