Texas Cheer Moms
Has anyone seen it?
It's a new show on TLC about cheerleaders and their mothers in Texas... and it is set at my high school.
Apparently the district does not endorse the show because they "feel misled" about the content.
I missed the premiere episode (facebook hadn't gotten me interested enough in it 'til the group "Texas Cheer Moms is the best thing to happen to Waco since David Koresh")
I'm excited to see it on Monday (at 7 EST).

i believe there are two types of cheer moms. here's what they do:
type 1:
Excessive drug use, alcohol consumption, and sleeping around.
type 2:
living out their teenage failings by pushing their children to do the things that they were unable to do successfully. overbearing. overwhelmingly supportive. if you don't cheerlead exact to their specifications they go nuts. horrible parents.
that could just be my view of things though.

I know that all (or at least most) stereotypes get started in the first place because there is truth in them... and as for all of the stereotypes about cheerleading culture, definitely. But it seems a little ridiculous to go around saying that all mothers who's children are in cheerleading are overbearing, alchoholic, adulturous control freaks living out their own highschool insecurities through their daughters' sporting preferences. My best friend growing up did competitive cheerleading all the way through highschool and repeatedly went to national competitions, and yes, while she was blonde and highly popular in highschool was in no way the queen bee cliche, and her mother was the sweetest woman you could ever meet.
Maybe really this is just about Texas. :p

Re: Texas Cheer Moms
Cheerleading sucks.
actually, i've never cheered, and i've never really been super-close with anyone who has, but--social hierarchies totally aside--those girls work.
i couldn't do HALF the physical stuff they're able to do. so, they get respect from me purely on that.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

One of my best friends was a cheerleader (she did it for the gymnastics aspect, and quit because she hated the spirit part ). She is insanely talented. However, she doesn't have a cheer mom, so I have no idea what one is like.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

Yeah, i know! My mom's an overbearing, alchoholic, adulturous control freak, and my sisters were never cheerleaders!I know that all (or at least most) stereotypes get started in the first place because there is truth in them... and as for all of the stereotypes about cheerleading culture, definitely.

Just kidding, my mother's a very nice lady when she's not cussing like a sailor.
The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

Re: Texas Cheer Moms
It got people to respond did it not? So while you may be pissed off at what I said it provoked you to respond.Your lame attempt at flaming sucks.
If it sucked why did you respond.

I feel no anger towards you. And I wouldn't exactly call me "people."It got people to respond did it not? So while you may be pissed off at what I said it provoked you to respond.
