I will admit that I gave Toddlers & Tiaras the benefit of the doubt when it first appeared on TLC. It was about the lives of children in beauty pageants and their family members that push them to do such events. I wanted to believe that the kids were simply having fun and doing it like any other after school activity like soccer or music practice.
But all I got from the show were overly made up kids focused on looking as un-childlike as possible by going for this super unattainable beauty standard and really rather overbearing parents. The show honestly made me uncomfortable and I don’t even have kids.
