I am taking my 8 year old daughter to the Miley Cyrus concert. She is so excited to go to her first concert (the Wiggles do not count right?). Obviously I am fine with it. I would prefer the Taylor Swift concert because I think Taylor is a better role model than Miley. But my daughter is too young to read the tabloids to hear the rumors about Miley. As for her attire on stage, its a costume. Its not for school for example.
I think you may regret it my daughter tells me it was literally very raw she is really upset about it all she said it was too bad for my 10 year old grand daughter let alone the other who is 7. Parents were discussing it and they all seemed just as upset as she and it would be one thing if they had been warned but no warning for age at all and she wishes she had never taken them to it.
Thankfully my 10 yr old is so over Miley - she told me “Miley is not a good role model” and it was her conclusion from all the bad publicity lately, not mine. She is now into Selena Gomez, who acts like a young teen pop star and seems “grounded” ...for now
The Cyrus brother just looks like something is not right with him
Was your post missing a “/sarc” tag??
Yes, but when your daughter is older and understands more about the situation, she will look back and think, “wow, Mom thought that was okay to take an 8-year-old to, so . . .” then she’ll have to draw her own conclusions about the parental judgment you exercised.
You are helping your daughter become an even bigger fan of Cyrus and it won’t be long before she’ll be old enough to pick up on and emulate this pop star.
There are very few “stars” who are worth holding up to little kids as any kind of object of fandom.
You’re fine with it, wow, rarely does just one short paragraph expose so much about a person.
You didn’t quote the worst part, taking an 8 year old to see U2? What kind of inhumane treatment is that?
I have worked with kids for many years and you bringing an 8 yo child to concert like this is why I frequently ask this question “What are you thinking”
I really hope you forgot the “sarc” tag.....It would be one thing if you knew this would be a child themed concert but it is not. This is not an appropriate venue for a child....
