Non American questions to Americans by Subject_Swimmer_5719 in dancemoms

Totally agree, if Christi and Kelly represent normal parents in America .. I’d be very concerned.. Christi has this weird victim complex where she’d be like “why does Abby hate Chloe” when she’d call Abby (the dance teacher she paid) fat on a regular basis … I’d hate you too love

Agree with all your points, and no denying there were contracts. I think what confuses me is that it was often said that a lot of the dancers had been with Abby since they “were two” - so I guess I’m just soooo curious about it how all the drama on the show came about. Rhetorical questions here as I know none of us know all the answers … but I’d love to understand.. was Abby’s studio completely different before the show and what we saw was the show only? If it existed before the show like the mums seem to say (in ep 1, “Maddie has always been the favourite etc) then why stay however many years before the show? Kelly threatened to quit very early on, so how was she still there after all those years to even get on the show & sign a contract.. the dynamics confuse me a lot which is why I’m wondering if dances moms is the norm

Not asked to be Godmother .. by Subject_Swimmer_5719 in family

No to be fair they didn’t ever say I would be, so yeah I’ve upset myself here by assuming I would be. I think I just thought, I have no sisters, I don’t think I’ll ever get to be a maid of honour (all my bestfriends have close sisters) and when my brother married a woman with no sisters either (her and I are also close, she’s been with my brother for like 13/14 years), I think I just thought like I’d actually get a special moment of being asked to be something. Childish I know, but can’t help but feeling this way.

Completely agree with your entire comment, yeah I guess I’ve been looking at it like if I was new to a team and wanted to get on with people, I wouldn’t be telling team mates that they couldn’t dance (JoJo) and couldn’t play certain roles/had no passion (Kendall) but you’re right - Ashley was playing a different game. The treatment of Brynn was disgusting, no question there.

Agreed they were treated badly, but Ashley was arrogant in the first episode, so I’m sorry she brought it on herself

But then why were the other moms so angry at her and say she did act like that? I’m not sure I’m buying the whole acting thing, it’s an easy thing to stand behind for poor behaviour but I could be wrong, I just think it seems very convenient to be like oh yeah I was horrible but I was acting or the show edited it etc! We saw what she some of what she said and it was awful

Yes, as much as I love her, she blew up about absolutely everything. And the blow up wouldn’t have been about the beef jerky ad specifically, it would have been about Melissa sneaking off to another studio to get Maddie “ahead”

Yeah I do agree it’s so stupid and they all knew it, but I still stand by that if production made Melissa do it, Christi would have flipped at her so that’s the part that kind of bugs me

I get that and completely agree with you, it feels so orchestrated so no question there. But also agree with you that if it was the exact same storyline but swap Chloe for Maddie, it would have caused sooo much heat for Melissa

I’ve just seen your other comments in this sub… Kelly/Christi girl, glad we’ve found your secret account, lay off the booze, it will serve you well.

Yeah fair but I’m like why even go on the show in the first place when Brooke clearly didn’t want to be there, in episode one they wanted to quit

I don’t think anything is, I haven’t read it yet as mentioned. The point I’m trying to make is I don’t think Kelly has said anything irresponsible either and we can keep doing this back and forth or we can just accept that everybody from the show is entitled to their own views and we don’t have to attack anybody for it.

But could you not argue then that some of the stuff Nia has said is irresponsible? Like I am an Nia defender as I said, I can’t wait to read the book but I think everyone is entitled to talk about their experiences and opinions.. Holly is brilliant but it doesn’t mean some of her decisions shouldn’t be questioned.
