That's your opinion. I think overinvolvement and trying to live vicariously can be just as damaging as moms who "don't care", just in very different ways.

Unlike the OP, you decided that you could be happy for this girl when you saw that she was happy. That's how it should be.

I wrote that story to point out that she DOES need to be happy for her daughter. Not to call her a bitch for being disappointed. I agree that over-involved pageant moms can be very detrimental as well I was just pointing out that its not anyone's place to judge motherhood skills via an online post.

Well said.

But if she seems satisfied with her choice, the only thing you can do is be happy for her. And when your friends ask what she joined, DO NOT lie or avoid the subject...just tell them how much she's enjoying herself.

You too.
