Just hope the kids not become a porno stars.

These mothers should be investigated for child abuse, mentally and verbally, physically?  The mothers need to go and pursue the showbiz careers because the are acting like its more for them than the kids.  Let the kids be kids while they are young because there is plenty of time to worry about grownup matters later.  Everyone deserves a happy, memorable childhood, full of funny "remember when" stories or events, not pressures, worries, ulcers, etc.

i agree, these women are pathetic.  they need to get a job with a boss who pushes them as hard as they push their kids.  then maybe they would have enough money to pay the rent and buy  regualr kids clothes.  at those kids ages they need not concern themselves with moving somewhere or providing rent but what clothes they are goingto wear or where they are going to spend the summer, what are they going to do.  give the kids a break Mothers....... get a job and let your kids have a life.

I can't believe these parents think that it's okay to abuse their children in this way.  They apparently weren't able to achieve financial success on their own so they are looking to children to accomplish it for them.  Their lack of self esteem and inability to set goals for their OWN lives shows with each interaction they have with their children.  These kids will be lucky to be any kind of functioning adult if they continue to live under such shallow life goals.  It's so sad to hear them say that they don't think they could do anything else.  The parents have pin-holed their children into one mold and that simply isn't the way life works.  All kids have a talent, that doesn't make them WHO they are.  By giving children the idea that their self-worth is based on achievements they are setting them up to fail. 

This show saddened me somewhat, to watch those kids Moms verbable abuse them.  Those Moms should be ashamed of themselves. 

 

And I heard one girl say that the show was rigged.. because Gracie won both the plasma TV and the photo shoot in Chicago.  Sounds to me like a little jealousy there?

 

Personally, I thought Gracie was the best of all kids.  The really BITCHY ones were the two blondes Moms that kept pushing and pushing their kids to win.  They were just terrible.  And also the Mom with the 3 kids.  I really feel for all of these kids, with exception of Gracie.  Her Mom was in control and wasn't pushing that little darling around.  Can't wait to see tomorrow's show..  I saw the previews.. and when Dr. Phil is talking to them.. it's the first chick to his right.  And her telling Dr. Phil not to point his finger in her face.  I'm sorry, I can't remember her name.. but she was actually the REAL BITCH  on the show.  Just sickening to watch!!  That Mom got my award for BITCH OF THE YEAR!!!

I couldn't agree with you enough! These parents (mothers or fathers) can't get over the fact that they didn't do what they wanted to in their childhood, so they will shove it down their children's throats whether the kids want it or not. I saw Veronica cuss at her daughter today and then threaten to beat her for not dancing good enough! What a lunatic Veronica is and that is pure Child Abuse in my opinion. These parents need to get a life and let there children develop there own life!
