Stage Mothers

I had to share this photo with you. My son sent it from Michigan during dinner with my ice princess and her mommy. She is pretty enough to model, but mommy is very against it. My granddaughter modeled as an infant for a Canadian organic clothing company. At another photography session, my daughter-in-law encountered crazy stage mothers, who wouldn't allow their children to eat fruit in case they got dirty or even have a drink of water! Immediately, my daughter-in-law stopped with the modeling thing. My granddaughter still models, but only figure skating warm up clothing. My daughter-in-law knows the owner of that store and shops there often. There are no crazy stage mothers there! Do you know any child models?

No I do not know of any child models and that is a beautiful photo of her Dianne. She really is a doll. Yes, I can just imagine the insanity of some of those Moms.

Thanks so much! Of course, I'm prejudiced, but she certainly is a cutesy. I had to deal with crazy stage Mothers when I taught modeling.

My oldest daughter was in a couple pageants and I saw what some of those girls go through. I was not one of those mothers, and it got expensive quick but I wasn't interested in allowing her to grow up in that "world" anyway.

No, I don't know any. It is sad that she can't do modeling. I think she is very pretty and would do good.

No donĀ“t know any of them but I can imagine how they are. She really is lovely in that photo. Her Mom is right to only let her model those kind of clothes.

@lovinangelsinstead21 All I know is that she placed. I still haven't spoken to my son or received the video. He flew home yesterday and has work. He's been on vacation for three weeks and is so busy.

No, I don't know any child models, Dianne, but I have heard some insane stories about stage mothers @DianneN . Your ice princess is a really beautiful young lady and she could easily be a model though.

@bluesa She loves everything she does. The trouble is that she wants to do more. My son had to put his foot down on horseback riding lessons. She had to quit ballet and piano for the ice.

Thanks, Catherine! She barely has time to model for the skating warmups. The photographer has to grab her moments before practices or lessons. Everything is rush, rush, rush with her.

She is pretty. If she can't model at her age now, maybe her mother will allow her on her "teen" years. I bet she'll get many offers.

@DianneN Yes. She can focus on her studies first and ice-skating training. She will be fine when she's ready to model

Thanks so much. When she is an adult, she can do whatever she wants. Right now she's so busy, she barely has time to model for that ice skating shop.

I am with your daughter in law on this, my brother was against letting my niece be a child model. There was a Filipino Mom who wrote for Bubblews who had her (very) young daughter modeling for Vogue. Poor kid, she was harassing the poor baby. A 3 year old needs to play with the other kinds, not to pose all the day.

I have met a few in my days. I never allowed my daughter to model either. I think it is crazy how strange these parents are. I wouldn't want to put my child through all that.

@DianneN They asked me to bring my daughter once. I took her and when I saw the mom's and how they were acting towards their kids, I got up and left. I told my daughter this was no life for her. Most mother's were sore losers and this reflected on their kids. One little girl was so rude and snobby. I didn't want my daughter growing up like this.

It can be devastating for a young child. My granddaughter's daddy modeled with me for a bit. I put his money in his savings account. He had fun, and it took care of his shyness, but I was no stage mom.

I desired to have a model child espeasially girl . I tried to find a tall man to be my husband. To give birth a beauty. Listen to your heart but don't forget about the destiny. I met my medium height hubby and gave birth a beautiful son. that remains to be seen, whether that girl be a model or olimpic champion

@DianneN you are absolutely right, he is now taller than his fellows of the same age and I believe he will be much taller than his parents.
