I thought alot about this before I decided to make it public knowledge. If I went with my first instinct it would have been to confront this woman in public, but that would have been in front of children. I'm not listing anyones name or my name, for the simple fact that our kids do read these boards, and its not mrs. x's childrens fault. If you know who I am or who I'm talking about that's fine, I wish all pageant mothers could understand the type of person mrs.x is.
I direct pageants, recently I had to cancel, well reschedule now it just took me a week or so, a small prelim pageant I had planned due to a death in my immediate family. Mrs. X had sent me a sympathy card which I did truly appreciate until I found out she had asked a local vendor if my mother had really died or did I just need an excuse to cancel my pageant. I don't know if I can find the civilized words to express my feelings on that statement. What kind of person even thinks that someone would do that??
We havent participated in Mrs. X's pageants in quite a while. Due to the fact that I try to teach my children that honesty is a good thing to have, and this director was never honest with her contestants. She still directs pageants in our area, and I have heard the comment made by some of her contestants "We do the pageants because of the competetion there" I tend to wonder if my child wins all of any directors pageants what's going on. We don't win them all, no one does if its honest. But she'll keep doing pageants as long as we, pageant contestants in general, let her. As a director, I don't always have free rein to say what I think at someone else's pageant. That is part of my slot in pageants, which I freely choose to be a mom and director. This is one time I really which I didnt direct.
On the flip side of this, I have to admit I was overwhelmed with the support the pageant community reached out with during my family's time of need. For that I say Thank you and God Bless each of you. It's the good people in pageants that make it all worthwhile, and counter the bad ones we run across.
