Modeling

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

I'd hope any sane parent wouldn't profit from their child's work! All the parents I know who have allowed this have put all money earned in his/her child's savings account, college fund, etc. so that the child profits from his/her work.

Unfortunately they are out there. I have heard many a 'ride on their coat tails' comment. But that's not the main problem that we have with modelling. I think my children are absolutely beautiful, the most gorgeous children ever to have lived (of course! ), but they are people - not pictures, not mannequins, not dolls - not to be used to sell things.

Having a hard time articulating what I mean. Obviously other people feel differently and that's none of my business. I also very much dislike the whole modelling industry and it's philosophy and practices.

I'm with you guys~ modeling/picture work seems ok (depending on the situation), but the pageant stuff is a little freaky to me.

I wouldn't be opposed to it when they were young, but as they got older I would worry about them starting to get the wrong priorities. *shrug*
