As y'all know, I am the mother of 4 girls, all of whom dance (well, my 6 year old quit & now wants to come back to it, but we've all-in-all been a dance family). I was a very resistant dance mom, mostly because of the sigma associated with that title. People generally have the opinion that dance moms are overbearing psychopaths who are only proud when their daughters place first, who have a purse full of knives to stick in each other's backs. However, this is far from what my lived experience has been.
So this episode is a real look at what it's like to be a dance mom, my thoughts about my kids & extracurricular activities, and the growth I have seen in my kids (and myself) as a result of being in dance.
Is it expensive? Yes. But you know what--expensive is just a thought.
Is it worth it? Yes. For me, supporting my kids is always worth it, no matter if this ends up a life long passion or is just a season.
What are your thoughts on extracurriculars? Let me know! All thoughts are welcome here (because, there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way to do this motherhood thing).
