My 11 year old daughter is addicted to Dance Moms. I record the show and then, when she bugs me enough we watch the show. I use to enjoy the bickering, the dancing and of course the DRAMA. it finally got to me, made me mad enough to turn off the show and send my daughter out of the room. It was the episode where Paige's foot was broken and Brooke's back was hurting.
Abby kept pushing for Brooke to do her dance even though she was in enough pain to cry and require use of a T.E.N.S unit ( a system often used for chronic pain). Look I live with severe nerve pain that started in my childhood. Pain strong enough that I was willing to amputate the first affected limb. I wouldn't wish this on anyone (okay maybe on one key political figure).
Abby constantly berates Brooke on this and that, saying she doesn't have what it takes to be a professional dancer. If so, why, except for ratings,would you take the chance of having a daughter who grows up to be in chronic pain? So Abby Lee can get her name out? She has Lifetime and her big mouth to do that.
No body can accurately judge how much pain someone is in, let alone what one misstep might cause it to permanently plague her. Sometimes you just can't push through the pain because "every dancer has pain."(Abby Lee) I think the reason these kids cry so much is because their "teacher" is the biggest pain of them all.
What do you think...should Kendall have been allowed back into the studio?
