My knee jerk reaction is merely showing up for T&T should be enough of a hurdle to lose child custody. Dance Moms is annoying but very different. The children are older. It is obscene. What child finds this fun? Playing in the mud is fun. The sexualization is gross. The daughters cannot say no to their moms. The money it takes to compete is amazing. Spray tans? Yes, I liked Disney. Reading classic children's books.
I have a feeling these girls are going to overreact and become slobs as adults. What happened to Mary Janes and smocked story book dresses with wide sashes?
