[QUOTE="DDD, post: 501982, member: 35"] I've found Dance Moms quite interesting because nobody in our family ever "did" dance. It's not a must see for me but I am impressed by the talent those little girls display. Over the past decades we have "done" chorus, scouts, girl's softball, boy's soccer, basketball and baseball. In my experience "if" the goal is to be champions the Coaches are not loving and nurturing. (Just realized I left out band, golf and very competitive cheerleading). For us the two most competitive were baseball and cheer. Both teams won State titles's but the Coaches...yikes...were not my cup of tea. Assertive, demanding and convinced that "the team" take precedence over everything. Dance Mom rings true to those characteristics. Sigh! Watched the new Nanny show last night. I felt some compassion for the Mom. She went overboard, of course, but many many times "back in the day" I chose the course of least resistence to get my first difficult child on target without my household getting too crazy. Especially when I was a single working Mom. by the way, I never chose a "calm down place" in the middle of family activity. Thought that was interesting. I always went for a corner chair that was a little isolated but not isolating, if that makes sense. Also I wondered how old the boys were as there was no mention of school. Curious. DDD [/QUOTE]
