Toddlers, Tiaras, and Taking Kids for Granted

Have any of you seen that show on TLC Toddler's and Tiara's? Well they must have been running a marathon of it this weekend because we caught a couple of the shows. The boys were really into it -- I hope because of the cute little girls. Anyhow, one Mom on the show just had my blood boiling. She had five daughters, all of which she put in pageants (against her husbands wishes -- he must be the only one in that marriage with a brain cell.) She was the meanest mother I have ever seen -- they way she spoke of one of her twin daughters made me want to come through the television and slap her. She kept saying that one twin was prettier (because she looked like mom), had a better personality, and on and on. What a horrible excuse for a mother she was. Now don't get me wrong, these parents aren't all crazy, and it isn't the pageants that I object too. At least these parents are spending quality time with their kids. However, I truly don't understand how you can like one of your own children more than another, and blast it all over national t.v. Parents like that take their children for granted. I wish I could have give her daughter a big hug. If anything it made me hold my kids tighter and love them even more for who they are -- faults and all. Please people, don't take others for granted!
