CAMy that was a vicious attack and I demand an apology

NOW

housemum, i do agree some others do also hover on the same thread..

dylansluckymum

I used to USE models in my work .. I know exactly how they're treated .. and how they're talked about behind their backs .. and what thick skins they need to have to not be as good as the next child who was picked .. I also have met some very very weird moggeling mums

but anyhow .. the juxtaposition in yoru initial post was ironic

but Alliebongo has it right .. its the single-focus of the people who only post on mogelling .. which I don't think really does happen elsewhere at least not as obviously

and Allie .. you're welcome

wanders in to see the same old shite...and wanders out again

To say 'how the're talked about behind their backs .. and what thick skins they must have to not be as good as the next child who was picked' ..
The people i've met at castings/jobs are usually very nice, relaxed professionals .. what you say is down to what you do behind the scenes and is not a reflection on us moggeling mums.
That child might who wasn't picked might be exactly what another job requires.

So who exactly ONLY posts on the modelling thread and why should it bother some so much anyway?.. it is a mumsnet .. for mums .. discussing what they like, whenever they like

quite right .. what I said was a reflection of the industry and the type of people, and the stage of life they're at (young, no children, more self-obsessed than parents in general) that are attracted to that industry.. it does not reflect on the models or their parents

its nice to see we are still on top form tonight x

More wine anyone.....

no drinking for me tonight i had abottle last night as you can prob tell from the convo last night in this thread

and as you mentioned about the 'certain kind of judgement going on about the type of family that put their kids forward for mogelling' we don't all fit in the same mould

what do you mean

when i came on here about a year and a half ago asking for advise on child modelling(dont care if its spelt wrong).

i got the same old crap.from the same people trying to make me feel like i was a bad mum or a certain type of person to allow my daughter to have a go at something she had asked to do.i think some people enjoy trying to put others down.sad

she dosent get all the jobs she goes for but my daughter has made some nice friends and so have i .like all mums,as long as my children are happy so am i.

We were on our way to a London Museum with ds a couple of years ago and were stopped in the street by someone asking us to take him to an audition thing there were doing near there. This is not something I would ever seek for my child and said no thanks but after talking to the guy foar a few minutes my curiosity got the better of me. Whilst walking there with this bloke Dh and I were making jokes about how we hadnt styled ds or anything. The bloke told us that's exactly why they had stopped us as they wanted a natural looking child rather than a gelled up 7 year old with mascara. He told us parents did all sorts of things to try to get their kids the job hence why he'd taken to the street.
Ds didnt get the part and we havent pursued modelling any further for him.

I really dont want my kids to feel judged by their looks and to frankly give a damn about this.

Horses for courses (sorry, ddint mean to confuse)

and whilst I am having a rant I do not get why anyone would send pictures of their child to someone on the internet Why on earth would you?

dylansmum sorry but I'm not a moggeling mum, but my cousin is. Apart from the fact her poor 3 year old gets dragged round casting after casting and is NEVER allowed to paint or do anything that would mess up his clothes, he is fed weightwatchers food to keep him slim. yes you heard me

weightwatchers food
at 3 years old

and you wonder why some people think mums who take their children moggelling instead of playing in the park are bonkers?

because some of them are

The trouble is when ever I've looked at the model threads they have always been about the mums and what jobs and castings their kids are going to. It's hard to believe it is about the kids.

you know if only we could get a load of 'child beauty pageant' mums on here

now that would be interesting

it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth

bosscat, one bad example .. so we must ALL be like that?
Twiglett, why are you comparing UK's child modelling with USA child beauty pageants?
Twist it any way you like .. obviously you ONLY want to view it that way and no other way

bosscat have just read your post that is turely shocking but we don't all behave like that you understand? Infact my dd's aged 6 still have pot bellies and i couldn't give a crap!!!

pmsl at otterly botterly.
