I don’t know why I’m watching Toddlers and Tiaras but I am, and I want to throttle a lot of people on this show right now. Twice now I’ve heard moms say, “Well its just going to hurt her for a little bit but it’ll be worth it.” Once from a mom forcing a pierced earring into her daughters ear when it’s obvious the back of the hole has healed too much. The other from a mother who waxes her daughter’s eye brows.
When you are physically hurting your child just to win a competition I think you need to definitely re-think your priorities. Or have someone take that baby away from you and give her (or him) to someone who love them for who they are.
And quit making them believe they need fake hair and make up to be attractive! Tell them how wonderful they are NATURALLY! And no, not just that they’re beautiful. That they’re smart, creative, kind…etc. Don’t put all the value on their looks!
Ok. Rant over.
