Toddlers and Tiaras

Meh, it's just one of 1000 other means of which kids childhoods are being fucked up, the majority of parents i know are guilty of one or another, certainly not quite so blatantly but in my mind just as destructive.

Yea they are pretty fucken retarded.

LOL judging by the opinions on this thread that show should have never made it out of pilot......But is't still on and multiple seasons too......Cancel your satelite or cable service and pick up a book its so much more satisfying

I think there are a lot of people like this anymore. Either it's the mom's yearning after a perceived lost youth or maybe a dad pushing his kid in the sports the dad played. There are just too many parents that forget kids are their own little people with thoughts, feelings, etc. It does NO ONE any good to be pushing kids like this into anything whether it sports, academics, "beauty contests". Once you push them to the point they aren't interested anymore the whole point of the activity has been lost. I gotta agree with whoever said "Sometimes you gotta let kids be kids" Now don't get me wrong sometimes a little motivation is needed, but what I am talking about are the psycho parents that shove it down the kid's throat every waking minute.
