Subject: From a grandmother of three.....

I have three beautiful grand children who compete in pageants (mostly) on the national level. Of course, they are the three most beautiful chioldren in the world. They model the best, they are the most talented etc.

My point is- I love my three grand daughters and I think they are the best. AS do EACH and EVERY one of you. We all would be lying if we said we didn't feel this way.

Yes, our hearts break when they don't win (because they should have won).

My entire point is that there is not one mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, Aunt or Uncle out there that love their family member any better than anyone else does.

Go to a competition with your loved one and enjoy it and them. Come home, ignore the negative posts on these boards. It is so terribly silly to bash a child b/c they won. It is also silly to bash each other as adults.

I know as we experience pageants and the friendships that develop- they do diminish and fade with time. Everyone has problems. But, with every problem there is always TWO sides to the story. Remember that!!!!!! Each will try to convince you they are right. In their minds they are. They probably just FELL out over something silly that could have been worked out.

Before we as ADULTS come on these boards and bash each other and each others children lets remember someone loves them and you.

Lets also remember we can't profess to be such NICE people if we ourselves are bashing. I know this from experience. My daughter and her best friend of five years stopped being friends six years ago. My granddaughters were being bashed for winning pageants. My daughter ASSUMED it was her ex friend bashing them. When it all came out eventually, the ex-friend was not involved.

My point is I think as adults we all should behave as so. If we can attend a pageant and come home and not worry about what others think then we are doing the best thing for us.

Of course, if you, me or anyone else has proof that we can lay out to be seen visually that a person is bashing us then we should. If we can't prove it then all we are doing by bashing them is lowering ourselves to their level.

We should take the HIGH ROAD- not the low one.

GOD BLESS

Grandmother of three
