toddlers & tiaras..

First of all, I blame the mothers of these girls for the whole thing. You're taking your 5 year old daughter and putting extentions, fake eyelashes, fake teeth and spray tanning them? Are you serious? They're not 20 years old, they're 5. I don't know why these parents are putting their children through all this? Half the kids on the show do not even like being in pageants, yet their mothers force them into it. It's like they want their kids to grow up so fast and not embrace their childhood. Also, this show portrays these kids as being rude and stubborn. Throughout the entire episode, they are crying and yelling for various reasons and viewers may see it as the kids being undisciplined. I bet half of them do not act like this on a regular basis, only when they are under pressure for pageants. Finally, I think that the mothers want their kids to pursue something that they want, rather than what the kids want to do, and it just seems unfair to be honest. You can't force a child to do an activity if they hate it, let them go off and find what they like doing. I think this show should be cancelled for all of these reasons.
