will never understand why the judges glare at the toddlers when they have a meltdown like they aren’t literal BABIES
I think its more for the parents putting their kids thru that shit.
🤣🤣😒
K&A Channel they’re LITERAL BABIES. My god! Babies will cry. Maybe their parents should be BETTER parents and not force actual BABIES to be in beauty pageants against their will.
K&A Channel they’re children. it’s what kids do when they’re uncomfortable if you want your kids to stay in contact after 18 don’t just beat them for getting upset and frustrated.
@@creaminyu I agree, BABIES are supposed to play with toys and learn about colors, not wear makeup and uncomfortable dresses and get compared to other babies. It's okay if that's what they want but they are simply too young to go through this shit.
child:falls on the floor and hits their head
Delusional mother: YoU cOUld SeE hER dIApeR
🤦♀️
Ikr so gross
LOL 😂 😂
Not like they were s3xual1z1ng them already ☹️
It could be the editing but the look of disgust on the judges faces when a child falls over or cries during their performance is disturbing
Yeah it's like aliens watching normal human behavior. It's like they've never seen it before
I hope its edited to look like that because if they did genuinely look at those little babies with such disgust on their faces then they shouldn't be allowed to judge them.
@@themoonlitfurbling7104 deadass
My guess is they are bored and kinda annoyed cause the pageants last a long time. Hopefully atleast
It’s kinda annoying though
“Our next contestant likes drooling” 😂😂😂😂
Legit I'm glad that my parents didn't have me in any pageants until I was seven (and they asked if I wanted to, never forced me) if only for the fact that they wouldn't have to resort to listing drooling as one of my hobbies lmao

I don’t understand why the judges look so pissed off when the BABIES have meltdowns... what do they expect... if you shove an exhausted 2 year old on a stage they’re not gonna be happy about it 🙄
agreed
Yes
I think the sound bothers them.
I was asking myself the exact same thing.

Toddlers: being normal toddlers
Mothers: OMG she's being such a diva there goes the money for me she could've won
Parents: “WHY WOULD I HAVE YOU IF YOU CANT PAY RENT!”
I see money in their moms eyes
Golddiggers 😒
What i see in a baby: a little cute chubby monster which likes to take naps
What mom's see: :0 my own personal piggy bank!
Yay
No parent in their right mind would ever wake up a sleeping toddler. Clearly, these people are insane!
Yes, it's a child abuse to wake up a toddler and push her out onto the stage.
No parent would have her child take a nap face down on a dirty carpet in a public place. With all that foot traffic 🤢
NO parent in their right mind would make a toddler wear high heels, dress up and put make up, for these stupid competition. The girls are more clever than their parents, fighting for their rights and teaching them what toddlers feel and need.
@@Bilbi111 right
Stuck up, snobbish, egotistical, bratty, spoiled rotten, greedy and Miss Piggy-esque.
The parents that is.
“ when she fell , you could see her whole diaper “
wow imagine bring this mom . Dude your kid fell down and you’re worried about her diaper showing. How about you worry if she’s fine cause she’s crying ok . And imagine being one of the judges , you are literally judging babies that still wear diapers . I love how people are nowadays...
@@Lol-zr1my I also liked the mom from the 9$ dress episode, she is good too
that's the first thing I noticed too. Her little girl fell off, face right on the floor and her ONLY concern was the diaper showing.. SAD
if i hear "contestant number 17, paisley" one more time...
Why
@sunfløwer- oof
Ik right lol

Imagine judging babies on how they look...
This is so fucked up and honestly should be forbidden. Adults are supposed to be the smart ones.

@@aspenhoward1867 what's wrong with roblox? 😐
When the little girl went back into the box and closed the door...I felt that in a spiritual level🙌
I would do the same thing to avoid making a fool of myself
The judge at 4:46 was AMAZING. The first sane person ive seen.. she genuinely was crying because that baby shouldve been taking a nap instead of paraded around on stage. I love her!!
Why judge kids? It's wrong! They're treating them like robots and a source of income.
That's all they are to the 'mothers' that do this
It is tragic.
These kids are so young…… just let them live a normal childhood.
ikr I couldn't have said it better well said.
These parents disgust me.
Fr like what these parents do should be considered abuse.
They can't live a "normal" childhood when the parents are crazy.

@@brayloncroom7807 yeah the kids are like 1 to like 6
@@BUNNYZLIVEZONTHEMOON exactly
I think the judges know they are doing something immoral
This makes me so sad :(. They’re just little girls they don’t wanna be in fru fru costumes. They’d rather be asleep or drinking a juice box
Nahh a lot of them love it but true a ton did need a little nap
DJ Jones it’s still a toxic thing to put your kid in
They literally can barely talk, it's sad. And the last mom really said "no, you dont get a puppy, you didnt do your routine". She still went on stage and she looked stunned. It's probably scary being a small kid forced on stage.
briana mariiee I’m all for not spoiling kids but she went on stage, has been super patient, and she tried her best. She deserved that puppy.
@@Graytheslay at least not have babies doing pageants
You know you’re in trouble as a parent when a pageant judge cries a little while saying that your child needs a nap.
For real
They have more senses than parents do sometimes. The judges can tell what parents forced their kids into pagentry, or made them do a competition on a day when the child obviously needed rest. My heart broke watching that little girl cry. The mom's mistake was not cancelling her daughters' spot and taking her home to let her rest and have time off.
The judge crying “The poor baby needs to take a nap” is heartbreaking
The fact that they expect these little girls still in diapers to wear all this stuff and perform perfectly on the stage when they need a break is disgusting
Can we talk about how paisley steps back into the box at 3:02 and LEGIT LOOKS LIKE A DOLL, all frozen up and u can’t really see her face in detail
Lmao true
Thats some chucky shit right there
Lara II-// she is adorable
That was so creepy was chucky in that box with her?
Lara Omg I thought the same thing
Are u serious? We gonna start shaming girls in diapers now!! The whole thing disgust me.
Samara Lavoie is that old for diapers
Samara Lavoie oh lol
@@samaralavoie1377 my cousin used diapers until 5...
@@samaralavoie1377 She is not officially 2, She's 23 month old, technically still one year old so no that not too old for diapers
.
When u realise the prize money is a million times lesser than the amount that the parents spent on ichy dresses and makeup-
The last one (Alexis) I don't even think she wants to be on stage, she wants a puppy. Give the girl a damn puppy and leave the pageant world alone 😅🐶
Yeah and her m9m didn't even give her the puppy because she didn't do the routine right. That women doesn't deserve to be her mother 😡
She needs to nap! She's a toddler!
Maddy Patty what did they say
Maddy Patty oh
TheSecondd yes
I don’t think the judges should deduct points for meltdowns
These little girls work so hard and it’s such a long day for them, it should be taken as little kids just being little kids
Every kid works hard. There ought to be some parameters. In an ideal world there would be no child pageants. But when we have them, meltdowns, falling, crying everything should be accounted for. It's unfair to kids who wouldn't do these things.
Yes I agree they should never deduct points from the kids they work too hard they should not add points for meltdowns though but they should never ever deduct points they just don’t need to add any just keep it at the score that They have !
Spoodermantoast 2104 it’s the same in highland dancing children compete as young as four and are scored on the performance on stage that’s it unfortunately.
Especially for babies and toddlers. That's their thing.
Yes really
That little girl kept patiently asking for the puppy and she tried her best when she was on stage. I didn’t see a meltdown or any complaining from her. I felt so bad when she didn’t get the puppy. They’re kids, they won’t nail every routine.
Exactly 😢
peppermint paisley: no brothers i am staying in the box go away!
BeebsBonanza I- she’s a CHILD. Don’t be so harsh.
BeebsBonanza But you need to understand, she’s, like, 3! She’s basically a baby! You gotta chill out.
BeebsBonanza Do you realize what you are saying? Disgusting.
BeebsBonanza -_- I hope you never get kids-
@@paige8282 I think it's a troll don't give it any of your attention x
Honestly I loved dressing up in exciting costumes as a child. But to have fun, to dance, and to play pretend. Not to entertain a bunch of adults when I was tired or not feeling well. This is straight up abuse
You're absolutley right
Exactly. Soon "Toddlers in tiaras" will turn into "Teenagers in Therapy"
Its not abuse at all
Toddlers in Tiaras are stuck up little children who love attention and want to be in pageants without doing all the commitment
@@justachildofGod the reason they are stuck up and want all the attention is because their parents put them into Toddlers & Tiaras. So they spend their lives comparing their selves to other pretty little girls who are pushed on to the stage wearing revealing dresses and too much makeup for their age.
"Time to wake up the little monster" Dude what the hell. The poor kid is tired and exhausted and tou think shes a monster? Give her a break jeez
The mother is the monster
it broke my heart when they woke up that little girl and she started crying, and then they called her a monster! Like she stressed and tired she just wanted to rest...
I felt bad for the girl trying to take a nap. I know exactly how it feels to want to sleep but need to get up for something.
Pretty sure every single human has felt that way before lol
@@kelsey2333 Not necessarily in terms of non-important events such as beauty pageants. That poor little girl deserved to take a nap.
How tf can you do this to a child. They’re pushed to the limit and then scolded when they mess up bc they are tired or fed up.🤷♀️
KingKitkat aaqq112ewsss
Priscilla Odimgbe yes
This is child abuse and entitled parents. A horrible combination!
so disgusting
I don't understand why they do that to their children's! And why this is ok? Child abuse have many forms. This is so sad to see. They just child's, let them be that!
There so little they don’t need competition to be hapoy
IsaEsteves Esteves IKR!!! 😢
I know they pull them and yanked them it’s abuse they bribe them and they only want the money
When I was little I loved dressing up like a princess- to play with my friends, in my living room. Not to preform for delusional, abusive adults. This is literally so disgusting. Toddlers need to nap and play, not entertain some lost childhood dream. This is genuinely just so sad. These parents are absolutely without a doubt out if their mind. Imagine, IMAGINE, judging a baby on how they look. And then SHAMING a toddler for having a diaper. This is so sad to watch.
I hate this video ever
Idk why, seeing children, toddlers, and babys cry makes me feel absolutely
*horrible*
IDK why but I love it. Like not when they're being hit or abused or anything awful like that. But when they throw temper tantrums or accidentally fall I can't help but laugh so hard
@@djjones7039 lmao same. Except when it’s my kid
These kids are being so abused
Not me
Because you are a human being that has actual morals and a soul?? These people do not have any dignity, morals or a soul for that matter to put their babies on stage like performing monkeys. This is straight up wrong and should be completely illegal to do (people as in "parents" even though they don't act like normal human beings nor parents).
She has to go to the bathroom, bathroom 😂😂😂 When nature calls, you answer!!! 😂😂😂
I’ve never been this disgusted in my life
??????
Braylon Croom imagine forcing a child on stage and exposing it to extreme and constant sexualizing and when it acts like a toddler is supposed to, the people start to judge her and destroy the self esteem if she even has any left after being pressed into a beauty standard which in no way is appropriate for her age
@@aleynakaraca849 oh yeah I get what you meant I was just confused because you did not really specify I'm sorry about that I did not mean to come off rude if I did.
Tell me about it.
Welcome to America
Peppermint paisley shutting the door and trying to stay in the box is me trying to avoid social interaction with my friends trying to pull me with them and go shopping
Women: She like drooling, playing and napping
Yeah, because she’s a baby. Maybe deep inside she depressed because of the pageants shes in
wow they really think those little girls are objects
These pagaents need to be limited to like 5 hours TOPS to prevent these over tired toddlers. I guarantee they've been up since 5am and it's almost dinner time when they perform.
@Lyric exactly! Wait till they're over the napping stage at least! Mine is 3 and the only time she needs a nap is on BUSY days! It's common sense that these kids physically can't do this at that age! But mom gets to brag and win cars off their little girls suffering.
It should be 21 and up
@@JamieYAYme I feel lucky my mom scoffed at pageants and viewed them as a waste of time and money. She saw one episode of T&T and was horrified - she said the moms must be crazy, selfish, or be living vicariously through their children to be putting them through this.
“She knows 20 words and most of her body parts*
Baby: *falls on butt*
Also baby: OW MY ELBOW 😭
HAHAAAAA IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ELBOW IS NOT YOUR BUTT 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me or most of the girls looks like a millions times better BEFORE they got dressed up the pageant
Arts Arcade I agree. 100%
Of course they did. They were natural.
And this is called child abuse and bad parenting
Liz Rodarte I agree this is unbearably appalling
Why haven’t these people been arrested

Stop it lmaooooo 😅🤣🤣
“This is Chloe” *screams*
Yo for real tho
Kelly Weingart ikr 😂
Well, for a literal one year old that’s pretty good
these poor babies, being forced to do this. whenever the babies cry, the parents don’t care. this is so sad🥺😭
when i showed my mom this, she was like *these psychopath mothers are putting their 23 months old babies in a pageant competition?*
“0”-23 months. are they just taking these girls straight from birth?
Pretty much.
Yes. I watch this all the time, and I’ve seen quite a few kids who can’t even crawl yet. Most of these kids are between 3 to 6 years old though. It’s still shitty regardless though.
@@ellaspivey666 I used to watch this show when i was younger, and I always assumed they were at least nine months old, which is still outrageous.
imagine being the nurse at someone’s birth and being like “okay we need to run some tests to make sure the baby’s healthy!” and the parents just zoom outta there to take them to a freaking pageant. or imagine when they signed the kid up they said they were “-9 months” because they really just got pregnant for this and nothing else. this show would be so much better if they use those reborn dolls instead of real children.
god.. this child abuse.. my heart broke down seeing a child who is very tired by the adult business..
It’s never about the kids, it’s always about the parents. I feel so bad for the kids. Some of them don’t even want to do the pageant but their parents force them. And it’s all about the parents proving that their child is perfect and that they’re amazing parents. I feel so bad for the kids their parents forcing them that they don’t want to do…
This is totally unacceptable! Babies NEED to be babies and NOT to be expected to perform. So sad parents do this to their babies.
Woman: she has already learnt *20 words*
Judges: we deducted points because she learnt too many words already
Oh no a 0-23 month year old was wearing a diaper and some people saw it under her skirt after she fell over omg what a catastrophe
Omg it’s only been 18 hours and I have 400+ likes thanks guys
@unicorn gacha lol yes
It wasn’t even that big a deal I mean their toddlers (I know your being sarcastic)
Don't make fun of her.she is hurt.
Kendell Deus it’s sarcasm I’m not being mean I’m saying that the parents didn’t care when she fell they just didn’t want the dance to be ruined
.
What a stress to these tiny ones , both physically and psychologically
Why is no one talking about how these parents use heated tools on their babies hair? No child under 8 should have heat used on their hair to style it.
pretty sure having heat on their hair is the least of their problems and that's why no one is talking about it.
shelby j Shelby love, no need to be rude. It’s so damaging for anyone to use heated tools on their hair, babies hair is incredibly fine so it’s a thousand times worse to use heat on it. No need to be disrespectful
@@lucyd9471 you asked why no one was talking about it and i answered why i thought no one was talking about it. which is true, heat on their hair is the least of their problems considering they're little girls dressed as adults and being judged on their faces and bodies by adults while their parents think it's a good idea. i wasn't rude to you at all?
Now, that is shitty, but can we talk about the one kid who got her eyelashes dyed? Or the one kid who literally got Botox at 8 years old.
@@ellaspivey666 & the kid who momma bleached their teeth
They put the child in a box.
[ seraine ] that’s nothing compared to another pageant paisley was in her mom had her do a pretty women routine basically walking up and down wearing a hooker like outfit it was ridiculous

BeebsBonanza OMG I DIED FROM THAT COMMENT
Elyse Lalonde JAJWJRNEKWMEM
The last one bothers me yea she lost focus and didn't do the routine correctly but you should still reward her with the stuffed puppy. She still let you doll her up and got on that stage all for you.
Nahh no way!! That's how kids learn they can choose not to listen to the parents & still be rewarded for not doing what was expected of them. Hell no lol. Definitely didn't earn the puppy with that awful creepy ass blank stare, tripping over herself & standing there doing whatever TF she wants. Yaaa no. Maybe take her out to dinner to celebrate being in a pageant but no stuffed puppy for a garbage ass routine. Sorry for being so harsh
@@djjones7039 and you are why this travesty continues do you know how much stress and insecurities these pageants create the parents say the kids love them but in reality it is just the parents wishes. Which is sick the child should be just that a CHILD not a barbie doll for you to put on stage for the parents own sick desires to see a 6 year old look like a 21 year old model.
@@djjones7039 Found the spoiled brat.
@@djjones7039 yes, but the mom was taunting the little girl with the dog. she made her do some of her routine for the dog and then never gave it to her.
Mikayla Burkett you are right you can't expect a young child like that to have enough focus to do that
5:48 She looked so much nicer before all the makeup and artificiality was applied to her. It was ridiculous how her mom refused to give her the puppy for not doing her routine right. What a sore loser parent.

It's staged, but that doesn't absolve anyone involved in the show's production. Except for the poor kids, of course, since they had no choice in the matter, and I hope none of them end up emulating the Menendez brothers when they're older. :-o
And to think TLC was once The Learning Channel... :-(

I could never wake my exhausted child up for this. Not at an age when they can't even express if they even want to be a show pony.
Breaks my heart. Let that baby sleep.
The only reason I can even think of why they would is money. Whether it be winning it and/or getting a "return on their investment" via titles, I don't know, dealers choice. But either way it's awful.
If someone knows another less shitty possible reason I would love to hear it. Because like I said mine is awful.
The girl going back into the box is a *PHAT MOOD*
How dare her barter that puppy?!
3:47: me when I have to wake up for my zoom class 😂
GIVE THE GIRL THE PUPPY!! my lord, she’s just like i was when i was little, (i think the little girl probably had adhd) mostly at that age girlies should be able to focus and be aware, like me, the girlie had trouble with awareness and was spacing out and DANCING. (One thing i did a lot when i wasn’t focused) either that or the poor little girl was tired. Just give her the puppy, she deserved it.

act up kids, that's what you're suppose to do (BE A KID)!

HOW DARE SHE TAKE THAT FREAKING PUPPY ITS LITTERLY A STUFFED ANIMAL
this is beyond child abuse.
I guess its a crime when your child falls and her diaper shows or when your child is so tired she passes out on the floor hmm
3:27 this mom's psycho-smile is freaking me out
the girl at 3:43 I feel sad for her getting disturbed while she is in her beauty rest
That poor girl sounded soo sad when she couldn't get the puppy. Just get her the puppy you know she wanted it soo badly
6:40 wow, u dress up your kid like that and she does the routine and u even “borrow” the puppy so she can see it and do the routine better and thinks she will get it and u don’t get her it... she’s making ur money and u won’t get her a $10 or less toy?
