Why do parents do this? Some episodes back, there was the mom who was certain her bi-racial son was the CUTEST thing to walk this planet & her blonde haired, blue eyed daughter was average. WTF is wrong with these parents?

Although we never did pageants, my mother was notorious for comparing her kids. I was not only compared to my siblings but also to my cousins. I grew up knowing I was never pretty enough, popular enough or smart enough for my mother. Wish these parents could look into a magic ball and see how much it permanently affects a child when you are always comparing them to each other rather than relishing in what your child has accomplished on their own.
