I'm not 100% sure if DD fully enjoys them, but she is very happy when she wins. She sends me mixed feeling. Screams and kicks like a 5 year old before practice but shows up on pageant say and rocks it! I don't know. She has basically been raised in pageants...
I would have a serious heart to heart with her to find out how she really feels. Lots of kids have the desire to skip practice from time to time, but are ready for "gameday", so to speak. My kids are in martial arts and some days they are ready to go to class before they need to be, and then there are days when they slowly drag all of their gear to the van.
Try not to take the comments too personally. Obviously you are not the ONLY one because your daughter has competition. I'm sure the grandparents and in-laws of some of the other girls feel the same as your family. Only you know your daughter and are responsible for how she is raised. It really is up to you and her to decide if it is part of her path or not.
