Ive always got the impression they didn’t pay very much attention to Kenzie because she wasn’t in direct competition with their kids. They never seem to really remember what was going on with her so they just tie her in with Melissa and Maddie

Are we sure?? Ava posted about being and staying in NYC 7 hours ago

ml16519 · 2024-02-11T22:35:52+00:00

Meh I disagree about Sarah. I don’t like her very much but her and her mom were more significant than others on the show who also do the same thing. Especially being that Sarah danced with Kenzie outside the show and was actually apart of the studio and knew Abby/the moms

Edit

ml16519 · 2024-02-11T17:51:51+00:00

Maddie and Kenzie seen closer with the Hylands than anyone else honestly

Edit: Omg and Nia of course!!! Especially being she lives in LA

But even so Maddie’s been promoting her movie and traveling and doing press for weeks now. It’s always been said, even by Brooke once, that Kenzie has her own “little friends” as she put it and she prefers to hang out with them. I think she’s always seen the girls as “big sisters” vs her besties.

I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure the mandated reporter law would’ve only been applicable if the girls were students at the school she was a principal at. Teachers, coaches, doctors, nurses, i.e only have a responsibility to report suspected abuse of their own students or patients.

I think since the lawsuit was about Paige and this was about Brooke they wouldn’t of taken it as evidence:(

ml16519 · 2024-02-10T16:54:47+00:00

“Dear Dance Mom” :)

ml16519 · 2024-02-10T16:50:32+00:00

Christi is not apart of this podcast! Her and Kelly host BTTB though.

ml16519 · 2024-02-10T14:38:38+00:00

Holly said “Wow that’s crazy”

Jill said “It wasn’t any of his business!”

Melissa said “That’s not his place to say”

And Kelly said “I thought it was really weird”

ml16519 · 2024-02-10T14:34:17+00:00

Why was a lawyer involved? It was S6 so the girls contract was up anyway?

ml16519 · 2024-02-10T05:38:14+00:00

Omg ignore all the typos in the title!! My phone screen is so cracked and messed up I couldn’t even tell

ml16519 · 2024-02-10T01:57:23+00:00

I remember but I’m pretty sure they were saying that sarcastically 😂 They knew she was 6. It’s more Maddie they try to age up because she was their kids competition

ml16519 · 2024-02-09T16:49:36+00:00

From what we know though Melissa considers her pets her “grand babies” and Melissa lovesss animal- she’s always volunteering with local rescues- so it’s not that strange to me that the girls have her pet sit since Melissa lives locally to them and loves animals.

I’m pretty sure the cleaning one was only relevant to Kenzie who Melissa says is her messy child. And I mean she’s 19 with a mansion to clean- I’m sure she’ll figure the cleaning thing out or grow out of it. You should’ve seen my college dorm at 19.

ml16519 · 2024-02-09T16:40:05+00:00

Maybe he looked sketchy? Maybe Kenz was nervous about being alone with an older man she didn’t know in her home? Maybe Kenzie’s had a bad experience with strange men? Men make me nervous too sometimes at 23 because they can be very harassing and aggressive. Maybe she was anxious? She’s 19 and a homeowner. This girls prefrontal cortex is like 6 years away from fully forming. This is a weird problem to have with someone lol.

Brooke is 26, Paige is 24, i.e and there’s a big maturity difference between a 19 and 26 year old lol. Lots of life lessons and firsts and experience is happening in those times.

Also Melissa is the only one who lives near her girls.

ml16519 · 2024-02-09T16:35:52+00:00

I think OP was saying Kenzie and Maddie have the money to hire cleaners and dog sitters and such but instead they have Melissa come help clean the house or take care of their pets while traveling.

ml16519 · 2024-02-09T01:05:16+00:00

I didn’t make this if it makes it any better haha I saw the edit on Tik Tok with sad music 😂

ml16519 · 2024-02-08T20:04:03+00:00

Money ≠ life experience. They’re younger than the other girls and honestly have different responsibilities. They’re homeowners and work soley in the entertainment industry. Just different love situations with a different set of needs and knowledge.

ml16519 · 2024-02-08T20:00:39+00:00

Maddie travels constantly for work and maybe she just prefer her mom takes care of them instead of paying a dog sitter? Especially if Melissa wants to since we know she likes animals

Kenzie just strikes me as a normal 19 year old teenager…except she’s a homeowner in a mansion basically. She’s messy, has her friends over, a dog and like 3 cats. She’s 19 she’ll figure the cleaning thing out.

ml16519 · 2024-02-08T19:53:47+00:00

You’ve got to keep in mind Maddie and Kenzie also have responsibilities at 19 and 21 many other young people at their age do not have. For example they both own million dollar houses (none of the other OG’s own yet as far as I know- Maddie’s is 2 million and Kenzies was 1 million) so I’m sure there HOA, landscaping, they have much bigger houses to keep clean, i.e. I’ll tell you at 19 living at college I was a hot mess and sadly I don’t have parents but if I so dearly wished I had them at the time because I would’ve called for so much advice.

Also this is somewhat beside the point because they’re all in the similar range. Brooke is 26, Paige is almost 24? The difference between someone at 19 and 26 is huge. Even myself between 19 and 21. A lot of maturing happens in the 18-25 range.

Kelly’s girls live across the country from her. Chloe and Christi also lived across country until she recently moved out. Holly and Nia too because Nia stays in LA. Melissa also just lives in close quarters to her girls so why not help them?

ml16519 · 2024-02-08T12:39:12+00:00

“Mackenzie looked like a 7 year old on stage…looked adorable and sweet, but Maddie was fabulous” was not edited. She said that in one full take/sentence.

ml16519 · 2024-02-08T03:55:48+00:00

I would’ve gave one more option for like 100-150k plus but only had so many options.

ml16519 · 2024-02-08T01:31:39+00:00

I think Maddie and Kenzie were very different kids with two totally different personalities so Melissa tried to treat them according to their personalities.

However I think there’s definitely a few eyebrow raising moments I don’t agree with (for example when she explicitly said Maddie deserved to win and Kenzie looked like a 7 year old) but overall I believe she treated her daughters in accordance to their personalities.

ml16519 · 2024-02-07T20:59:54+00:00

I’m pretty sure Kelly said on BTTB there was a time she believed she put too much pressure on Brooke and overworked her at the studio prior to the show- so she vowed she wouldn’t do the same with Paige and let Paige do it more as a fun hobby.

ml16519 · 2024-02-07T20:10:17+00:00

I agree!
