All-Star Another Psycho Cheer Mom

[NEliteSteven]

The mom is absolutely psychotic. In one of the emails she made a comment about not planning on going to college or staying in school or something in that effect, because cheerleading was taking up to much time. THEN PULL YOUR DAUGHTER FROM IT. Don't punish everyone else that figured out how to prioritize their lives. What a nutjob.

Hahahahaaa - no, didn't get the sarcasm. :oops: :D



I get that - I don't know - I'm just so used to it that I don't even notice. Why didn't the mom just pull her daughter from the team? Judging from the fact that the article said that many members of the squad had quit in defense of the coach...and there don't appear to be any other mothers siding with this mom, I'd be inclined to say she may have been exaggerating a little. She seems a little overzealous to say the least.

Maybe the kid liked cheering. Like I said, most of the woman's complaints were asinine (however if the kid was given less than 24hrs notice that they needed to produce $135 for a warmup...thats a bit ridic given most peoples financial situations). I think the dislike for the coach stemmed from the woman being a 24 yr old, single mother with 2 toddlers that works at Hooters...not the best role model....but who are we to judge? None of that should be a factor in this situation and the woman sounds like a passionate coach...just young. I also dont get the crack about the college the coach attends...

It could be that the mother is absolutely correct in her complaints but shes too ignorant to articulate it effectively. No other mothers could be sticking with that mom because they prefer to stick to the status quo...anything to keep their kid on the team and they're really agreeing behind the womans back. Or the mom is just a lunatic. Who really knows.

The warm up and the bikini car wash are the only things I agree with that came from the cheer mom. Anything else is just whatever

Maybe the daughter just didn't bring anything up about the warmups until the night before? It didn't say anything from the coaches perspective. God knows every kid has done that in one situation or another.

This part I bolded is probably just the reason I'm defending this coach - at 24 I was a mother of a 3-year-old, single, and I worked in a nightclub (not Hooters...but we wore about the same outfit). And I'll be gosh darned (for lack of a more appropriate, message board-friendly phrase) if ANYONE is going to tell me whether or not that made me "suitable" or a good role model.

Because I want my daughters completely, utterly, totally surrounded by women who are strong enough to work (even at Hooters) and go to school (even at a "not so great" college), and still do the things they love (eg. coach cheer) - and raise children who know that it's important to do whatever you need to do to get by, important to always do something to better your future, and to always remember yourself and do something you love. I want my girls to see all kinds of women in their lives. I think she's a GREAT role model.

Where is everyone reading the emails? Link please =)

 

[east2westandbackagain]

never mind, just found them

 

[peytonnmariee]

whats wrong with a tank and shorts? or even a tshirt and bathing suit bottoms? or maybe, maybbe a sports bra and shorts, or tank/tshirt with bathing suit on underneath.

 

[NJ Coach]

Honestly...sounds like mommy dearest is upset that dear daughter made JV and not Varsity.

 

[Just-a-Mom]

OK sorry. Don't mean to just take over the thread but now I'm all fired up. :rolleyes:

I see all these people posting on here about how the bikinis are so inappropriate, and in the sports bra thread about how their cp wears a sports bra to practice but NEVER in public...and then I go to yall's Facebook pages, or the Fierce Photos thread here (which is no way shape or form private if that was going to be someone's Facebook argument), or actionmoments.com, or to any comp website (also NOT private - any creep can see them)...and ALL I SEE is girls doing bows, scorps, heel stretches, etc. Trust me - to most people (me included) some of those pics are sooooooo way beyond inappropriate compared to a bikini.

I promise - your cp doing a heel stretch towards a camera in spankies is way more exciting to a "creep" than a bikini on the sidewalk. Trust me, I've waited tables in bars my whole life - I've met a LOT of creeps. :oops: If you're worried about creepy guys STOP taking pics of your child's goodies to show everyone how flexible they are. 90% of people aren't looking at it like we are. I am soooo much more worried about THAT image of cheer than bikini car washes. Sorry if that is offensive, but it never ceases to amaze me that moms who normally seem so sensible put these pics of their children up on the Internet.

(As for the warm-ups I hope NEliteSteven is right and that the daughter just never mentioned it. )

I can understand your point....I can also understand why someone may not deem someone in the coaches "situation" to not be "role model worthy". I mean like I've said I'm not a mother...but I respect a mothers right to choose whom they want their child subjected to. I also feel that nobody (which happened to the coach) should be looked down upon because of what they're doing to make a better life for their family. Perhaps the easiest fix (if this all stemmed from the mothers aversion to this woman's life circumstances) would've been to just pull the kid from the team...maybe go terrorize an all star program.

:D LOL at least then she'd be a paying customer! And could just fuss to her little heart's content.

Speaking of psycho cheer moms...

Seen this one yet?

did anyone else notice that at the end the announcer said "and we have a missing child."

I'd hardly say "no parent" - i would allow it and I'm a very good mother, thank you. I'm just not what most would consider conservative. We also lived in a beach town for the last 18 years, and ALL the kids wear bikinis to wash cars...go to the grocery store...walk around...pretty much from June to September that's what the girls have on. Bikinis. Now given that this story came out of Florida I would assume it is much the same there - bikinis are quite the norm for girls to run around in, so a car wash would be no different. Every car wash my daughter has ever participated in - including the one for basketball - the girls were all in bikinis. So I think in many places it is perfectly acceptable.

If the mother had an issue then she could have mandated that HER DAUGHTER not wear a bikini - and if the coach forced her to then that would be a completely different issue. I just think this mom is crazy.

She's Just-a-crazy-mom

; )

And absolutely I am 100% on the same page as you.

I don't think any situation warrants 200 emails. If someone has you that ticked off, schedule a meeting. 200 emails is not only excessive, it borders on harrassment.

Is it bad that every time I see a thread titled "Psycho cheer mom" I panic a little ....fearing someone video taped me? :D
