The problem IMO is that our entire culture has a very toxic view of childhood. We no longer view ourselves as here to take care of kids, let alone to build a better world for kids. Instead, we see kids as something that we "have", to use or to enjoy as we see fit. It's not just stage moms or Little League dads. It's our whole culture...we do not care about future generations. We are focused only on ourselves, and only on this moment.

Wow!
Having a stage must have hurt; escpecially if it were a thrust--p.s. didn't the Puritans make apses of themselves?

How do we know Grandma wasn't Sycorax, who pinched the little darling before her departure?

I say: "Let there be more McCaulay Caulkins of this world!"

At the end of the day, we all end up in the orchestra pit anyway. Anyone know any Dr. Hook songs?

Wow, Mo.

The political discussion last year was so much more civil than this!

I wonder if it counts that the hair on my fat a$$ is long or is it only relevant when it's the hair on my head? And since I have no children, do you think I get special dispensation to text and talk on my phone all I want?

I'm sure the same tactic has been used by adult actors by having their agent or dealer come in the audition and then abruptly leave.
Of course you touched on the bigger question of bringing your child to an audition in the first place. That's the sort of thing that makes me want to cry.

I am a Stage Mom and was laughing so hard while reading this that I realized I have the exact same laugh as the son I ***** out.

Even funnier is how the story elicited so many fat-woman jokes. What the hell does being a Stage Mom have to do with being fat? Look at Dina Lohan, she hasn't eaten in years.

Still laughing (while forwarding to everyone I know).

Why do I get the feeling that, years from now, when posed with the question "Grandmothers or Grandfathers" by a bespectacled stranger on the street, these girls will answer "Grandfathers"?
