Have you watched this television show?
This show is Fan-f**cking-tastic!
Not sure why I feel like I need to all of a sudden censor my language but let's just say I'm trying. At least for every 5th sentence.
While this teacher, Abby, reminds me of my Russian trained ballet teacher of which a barking noise would escape her pursed lips when your leg was dangling about in a non perfect stance, I find the mothers far more offensive. Their cattiness, self-absorption and lack of humility struck a cord with me and quite a few I know.
These women remind me of high school and sadly quite a few women who are stationed at my kids school.
Do you have these awesome role models scattered about in your life? If so, please tell me you dream of "accidentally" hitting these people with your car at car pool. at top speed.
Come on! You know you think about doing it!
I'm a firm believer that we should be able to "accidentally" hit one person per year. Sadly, I'd have the next 20 years quickly booked with targets.
P.S. The use of fanf*ckingtastic is one more reason to love you. It's one of my favorite words.

I am convinced that my daughter must walk to school because getting in the carpool lanes will make me want to run EVERYBODY over. But I don't have to worry about it until next August or so.

Waiiiiit, are these REAL PEOPLE?! I assumed this was a kind of real show, but not really. Jesus. If these are actual people being like that I fear for humanities future.

I love when Abby rips one of those annoying mothers-from-hell a new asshole :)

LOVE. THIS. SHOW. What I don't get, why do the idiot moms put up with it all?!?!
Abby is so mean to the kids. I wouldn't put up with it at all. They (the moms) clearly do not have enough to do. Wowsers.

Those dancers are so incredibly talented-I don't mind the teacher, but I'm unable to watch the show because of the mothers. I'm a "dance Mom" to two girls, and my role is to write the checks, and drive them to and from. I refuse to let this be my thing--it's all theirs. And the moms are definitely real. I run from them!

Didn't know about it and I'm intrigued. Will watch.
Can't say I was a dance mom but for two short years waaay back in the early 90s. Daughter was as uncoordinated as me. I learned two things. I can say and demonstrate "jazz hands!"
I also learned that if the know it all teacher decides she knows costume sizes best, don't let her have her way. My second grader was horrified when the ballerina class group picture was mailed out to all the kids' families. There's mine in her too tight tutu, arms up, dress top straining down...boobie shot. That a half naked picture of her went out to 18 families- how could the photographer fail to notice- God, it was hell in my house for a solid three days.
That was the end of dance as we knew it.

I watch this show and I'm not sure who is worse Abby or the Moms. But, I have to say Crazy Cathy is pretty funny!

I love this show. Which is strange since I won't let my oldest try out for competitive dance. Those bitches be crazy.

If this "accidentally" hitting thing becomes a law, do you think we'd be able to make up for lost time?

I think Abby is awesome. I don't think she's mean to the girls. To the moms? Yes. But they're the ones acting a fool.

By any wild and wacky chance did you take ballet from the Russian trained ballet instructor in the town you currently live in? I mean, I don't know where you grew up exactly. I had two ballet instructors - and oh, I was terrible at it, but for reasons only preteen and teen girls know, I figured I would be a star.

Was it you I found the blog, People I'd Like to Punch in the Throat? If it wasn't you, five bucks says you'll smile as you read through it.

I freaking love this show and being a "dance mom" myself I can tell you 100 per freaking cent that there ARE people, real people like that in every studio. (though my girls' coaches/teachers are not like Abby at all) and I have visions of murdering at least of them, if for no other reason, in an attempt to get Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds to do a full body tackle while I'm being taken down for the murder.
