Toddlers and Tiaras mum models lingerie in front of two-year-old

Friday, April 20, 2012
Just when you thought Toddlers and Tiaras couldn’t get any more controversial, we meet this mum who says her toddler loves lingerie and is a fan of Victoria's Secret.

In one of the latest episodes of the show, which airs on TLC in the US, Oklahoma mother-of-four Tricia explains that she has no problem posing in lingerie in front of her two-year-old daughter SamiJo because she is 'obsessed with bras'.

“My style of parenting is extremely different," she said.

On the show Tricia is filmed in lingerie posing for a photo shoot for a calendar of herself, which she decided to do to earn more money.

"[SamiJo] knows, and has full comprehension of how the business works," Tricia said.

"She has a vast understanding that some 7-year-olds, 6-year-olds don't have."

Tricia, who is also a model and MMA ring girl to make extra money, defends her irreverent parenting style.

"I think exposing your child to whatever you can is just a really great way to be culturally diverse," she said.

Your Say: How do you feel about Tricia’s parenting style?

Totally irresponsible. Most child psychologists would agree that exposing children to the titillation of lingerie modelling will affect them adversely. It is by no means a normal family activity and its completely inappropriate subject matter for a child. These are a persons formative years. If this woman wants her daughter to grow up without an understanding of the sexual objectification of women, and that it's more important to be an intelligent and morally upstanding person with something of value to contribute, then she as a mother is propogating a powerfully detrimental message to this little girl regarding her self-worth and what her role will be as a woman. This child will form an opinion based on what her mother presents to her as being normal and acceptable. And I'm sorry but... to say a 7-year-old comprehends the "business of lingerie modelling", is she insane?
