I'm glad to hear he was admonished about the 10 second rule also. Good grief!! He's a little boy! So if he has cracked ribs or something, he was just supposed to suck it up? Unreal!! I glanced over at the Bravo board and there are apparently several friends of the cheer-mom on there defending her and Sarah. They say Sarah loves it and the mom doesn't "push her"... yeah right! So what if the kid wants to do something? Who's the parent? When my kids' grades suffered, they couldn't do everything they wanted, no matter how angry it made them. In HS if you have any Fs, you're off the team anyway, even if you have a C average - at least here. MY DD learned the hard way her soph year and came back her junior year to get a scholar/athlete award. It's really hard with my son who's a musician because music is just so good for kids, BUT..... when he does no school work and his grades drop, he can kiss his rides to out of school band practices goodbye. He really really REALLY dislikes me when that happens, but he'll also hussle his butt to get school work done & bring the grades up so he can do what he loves. Kids need boundaries. If they can't say NO to an eight-yr-old, good luck when they become teens!

I am with you Watching. My daughter has girl scouts and tennis. But she knows if grades drop they as well as TV are off limits. She wanted to do Karate too, but I told her 2 is the limit she could drop one and pick the other up if she wanted, but we would not add another. Mean Bad Mommy........

I just started watching some of this and am aghast at the cheer mom. They are picking out a new costume & she has to make sure its tight so they can see her daughters body, come on she is only 8!! I guess I'm just old fashioned & think that children should look like children. My twin girls just turned 5 & I will only allow them to do one thing at a time. We did gymnastics all this year. We might try dance next year, not sure yet.

Did everyone quit watching the show? I think the cheerleader Mom needs a reality check. I feel so sorry for that little girl. The ice skater seems kind of confused also as to what he wants. I see nothing wrong with the basketball Mom. The girl with the horse, her Mom doesn't seem to be all there. I couldn't believe last week she left those two girls sitting in the dark, by themselves at a train station. The Mom was an hour late picking them up. The football Dad, he reminds me so much of the Nutter Dad. I wish Bravo would do an update on the Showbiz Mom's & Dad's.

Was this on last night? I searched for what else was on, but I must have missed it, so I watched the 2nd hr of Gilligan even though it was taping. Saved me from falling asleep during MORE of my taped stuff! lol

I think the horse mom really acts like her daughter when they are arguing back and forth. They both bait each other. The cheerleading mom just kills me! That little girl just wants to please her so much. "I don't know why she gets stomachaches all the time. Maybe it's too much for her." You think?!

I forget but my DVR remembers I like the basketball mom, but wish she wasn't trying to make things up to the daughter she gave up when her first daughter was two and maybe using some time to spend with her daughter on some non-basketball things. And of course she's trying to keep the daughter from making her mistakes, but that is dicey when she's SO strict that daughter almost has to rebel and of course when that daughter IS the mistake.. but as a coach she seems on the ball. Cheerleading mom, pfft! So manipulative. I ache for the horse daughter. The mom seems so out of it and the daughter is definitely calling mom on trying to act differently and more reasonably in front of the cameras. And for trying to put it back on the daughter, as if the horse isn't for sale, saying she wants to see how committed the daughter is to her goal of competing.. I agree with the daughter, she's shown nothing but committment, not just with her riding but with keeping up in school and holding down three jobs!

Wow sounds like I missed a lot with the horse mom & daughter. The others...well, the basketball mom is the best of the rest. I have no decent words for Football Dad and Cheer Mom. Maybe they should hook up? LOL Terolyn - It's awwwwwwwwwwn!!!!! I did tell my daughter her friend could buy my good seat ticket from me for the BSB show, but she hasn't talked to her yet. She won't drive all the way back from her cottage "just for lawn tickets!" Man, when I was that age, I would have taken just about anything just to be at a concert. Half the ones I went to were in big stadiums so you couldn't really see the band anyway! I have to start listening to the new CD DD has so I'll at least know some more of their songs. DD is fine w/Anthony taking Nick's place! LOL She still likes bad boy AJ. I think I can sing just about every song McCartney ever did! pant pant.....

LOL.. my DD is the AJ fan too. I remember all the concerts I went to "back in my day" were all general admission. We had alot of "rock fest" in FL where they would run from about noon until midnight. Last one I remember had Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Heart, Fleetwood Mac and a couple of others. It was in Tampa at the Orange Bowl. The big "Special Effect" was when Blue Oyster Cult sang Godzilla and a huge inflated Godzilla rose up from behind the drummer and had flashing red eyes..ooooooh.. But then everyone was so "stoned" it was quite a site. Ahhh the 70's...

Buffalo Bills stadium used to be RICH Stadium and they had killer summer concerts there. I remember Santana, Crosby, Stills & Nash (& maybe Young...who remembers now?!LOL) Peter Frampton, Todd Rundgren and I know there's more.... but my 70s brain is a bit foggy in the memory department right now!

And my daughter is a Brian fan! We've seen the BSB twice and had really, really good seats the last time. We are debating if we want to fork over 150 dollars to go again this go round.

They just don't have concerts like that anymore. For $15 or $18 dollars you could see about 5 to 8 awesome bands... "Like far out man" Can you dig it? Best I ever saw was a toss up between Led Zeppelin and The Who. "Keep on Trucking"

I have to butt in here and share. The best concert I have ever been to was 2 years ago my 16 yr old son and his friend and my 20 year old son and his friend asked my husband and I to go with them and see Kiss and Aerosmith. The fact that they really wanted to be with us and share that was priceless. (It was hysterical seeing the people our age smoking pot and dressing like the 70's and the younger generation apalled)The 6 of us at the time were living in 3 different cities and notable to see each other frequently A couple years earlier we had taken the 4 of them to see Sister Hazel and they still talk of being together. Now they are grown and graduated college and the younger going to college but these times were something I will cherish . Thanks for letting me share

Wow Mames, $150?!!!!!!!! I got really good seats for 59.50 + service fees. We're in the 2nd section (and the first is really small since the venue fans out) and we're in row 7. I COULD HAVE gotten us SEC 2 ROW 1 if I had bought them the first time I put it through to see how good of seats there were! Just a few hours later it was back to 7, but it's still good seats when you consider all that's behind us! Not only did we have great concerts for a decent fee, we used to get big acts AT our college! I remember seeing Billy Joel, Marshall Tucker, Bonnie Rait, Charlie Daniels (all I can think of at the moment!) on either our campus or the university across the street! I remember when we thought concerts were "getting up there" when it went from $12 to $17!! Saw Kenny Loggins a couple of times and even got back stage once. And did I mention Bob Seger?! That was a great concert..oh..and how could I forget Jethro Tull! Sheesh... must have been the smoke in the air.. LOL I LOVE that my kids like OUR bands. My DD was disappointed we didn't get to see Lynryd Skynyrd the other night, but funds were short. DS was aghast when this kid at school said he went to a concert the night before and couldn't remember their name! Sheeesh! He's 17 and he plays in several bands and I just love hearing him play our oldies! Sometimes I hear him playing Frampton, sometimes LS, sometimes Eric Clapton, ZZ Top.... you name it... he plays it either on guitar or keyboards. Gotta love it!

I thought that I was going to marry Peter Frampton one day. I had a huge poster of him up in my room and a few regular sized ones as well.

Well..must admit that Ringo was my fab of the four, but that was because my sister threatened to kill me if I dared look upon Sir Paul's royal countenance. But now that we are older and wiser we will share him at the concert.
