Just this morning, Barangay officials came to our house telling my mom to prepare my daughter for a pageant this evening to be held in our town Plaza. My mom was so excited and told me about this,she wants my daughter to join the "Little Miss Pageant".
She told this to my daughter and like my mom she also wanted to join. But i refuse to let her.There will be talent portion and gown competition.I told them that they should have inform us at least a day before the pageant so that we can be able to prepare all the clothes to wear and her talent to show.I know she knows how to sing and dance but without practice i think it will not be possible.
My mom got mad at me.She really want to let her join the contest
What do you say guys?Is it right to let her join with less preparation?Or is my decision to let her nor join the pageant just right?

Hi tamirs
Just let her join dear. If you're daughter wants to join I think she can handle it well. So don't worry about the talent, she seems to have lots of talent and is so ready anytime someone asked her to sing or dance. Just look for a cute gown for her now
Just don't forget to upload the photo tomorrow

me too so excited with the photo, looking forward that tamirs will upload it soon
If I were you tamirs and had a daughter like yours I will definitely volunteer my daughter to enter the contest, because I am just like other moms who like their daughter engage in any pageant. I am gonna be proud if I were you

Hi
This is a hard decision i must confess. I always wanted to get very well prepared for an exam or contest during my life but there were times that i wan not as much prepared as i wanted.
So my opinion is to let your daughter take part in this and i believe that this will be a valuable experience in her life. From the moment your daughter wants to take part in this and she is not forced to do that than it is best to give her a chance to try this out.
I wish you the very best luck!

hello tamirs,
I agree with you.
I will not take any chances without proper preparation.
First- if my daughter will not win, or if she never comes out as good (without practice) that would be very shameful and I will never let my daughter put into such situation.
I better have a good deal with the organizer- allow my daughter to join the contest next time for better preparation.
I miss my younger days...my grandmother keeps me always at the center stage

So, it looks like they're asking you only because they run out of participants...so bad....

Hi Jai
We should have let her join because she says she can do it.But at the start of the preparation,we heard from other people that a lot of contestants have back out that is why they ask us to join.
If they think they are lucky to have us as second choice sorry for them.Surely there will be next time and that next time,we will join because we are really chosen.

Hi Tamirs
you know, I feel that you should ask your daughter if she wanted to participate. If she wants to, let her. The clothes, accessories etc are all not useful as winning is not the only aim. The thing which will help her is - she will learn to face larger crowds, also have a feeling that she can do something she wants to and this also helps in making her feel more confident.
The clothes etc are just add-ons to the real beauty and the real beauty needs no add ons.

Hi godmom
That is right. Another thing why I say - ask the daughter if she is willing or not - is because I have known parents who thrust their wishes on their children and such mishaps do have a negative impact on the kids - like for example, if the daughter is not willing to get on the stage, forcing her there will mean a kind of inferiority complex or even the fright of stage for life... that will become quite an unhealthy thing in the long run for the daughter...

totally agree with you Godson
Joining such pageant is one way of not developing stage fright.

HI sis!
It is not about her grandma..it is about you and your daughter especially the little girl herself. I think if your daughter is fine with it, if she is confident with the herself then give some support to her. But if she is the one who think not so confident and unprepared then I think what you thought is right. Need to asked the little girl opinion. It is good for grandma to feel happy and excited about it but to push her to take part this will just give stress to your daughter.(^^)

I have the same thoughts as you sis CT, if she isn't confident about it, don't let her join. But I think she is eager to join the pageant so let her have fun. Better to let her be exposed in such thing.
I should have say "parenting or daughter" @thewonderboy (7501)

Well tamris,
I will take the actions according to my daughter's wish. If she has the confidence and the ability to performance on the stage the why should I be the reason to restrict her. I will never force her to do it because it's her life and she must also enjoy it

It is still your decision, you are the mother.
Honestly, i was never one who likes pageants lol i am just not mainstream. I maybe a doting mom but i am not one who wants the kids into such. I know there are who says it will be good for their confidence and they won't be shy in crowds..but then i am into such stuff. I would rather expose her into other way..like debates and stuff hahaha yeah yeah i am such a nerd.
But then again, it is your decision my friend. If your daughter wants to why not? she might like it and we will have future beauty queen in our hands

Well, between you and your Mom, your decision takes precedence. I mean, your the mother and it's you who have to decide, not your daughter's grandmother. But personally, I think you should also ask your daughter if she really likes to join. I think that's the most important part of this :)

Hmm, you're in a bit of a bind. I understand your apprehensions. I too would think twice of letting my son join a contest ill-prepared. But personally, it's a pageant, and little girls love these things. If I were in your position, I probably would've let her join anyway just for her to experience it and have fun at the same time.
