| Subject: Re: As a 24-year old competing for a very public position, Emma should have the backbone to withstand comments like "She didn't deserve her placement" without necessitating a reply from her mother. I'd like to think the best of Emma, but you are not doing her any favors with anyone who reads this board by sticking up for her, Patty. I'm glad she's aging out so neither of you will have to engage in this petty discussion board anymore. |

Dear Anonymous, you are right, except she does not have the time to see this. She was honored and humbled by the awards and her placement. Why is it inappropriate for me to stick up for my daughter? Someone sent it to me, I am sorry that I am "one of those moms who sticks up for her 'kids' no matter their age." I did not think my comment was inappropriate in light of some of the pettiness on here. I simply stated that discussions like this are seldom constructive, and I would not have even seen this if it had not been sent to me. Yes, I usually ignore and move on. Just did not think the original poster should have called anyone's merits into question regardless of the outcome. Unless they were on the judge's panel, nobody really knows how the scoring went. I have been a pageant judge, it is not easy. People are free to disagree with the results, but why do it on a public forum? Keep in mind that sometimes these hurtful and negative comments are seen by the families of the contestants and again, they are not constructive. I agree, she is an adult and she does have a thick skin. She wouldn't care if she saw the comment, but her grandparents and I certainly do. I'm not sorry for speaking up. I don't know who you are, but you know who I am. I don't want to fight with anyone, I simply tried to state my point of view respectfully. Thank you for your input on my parenting, and I say that with no sarcasm at all. We all live and learn and I am still learning. :-)
