Show Notes
The internet has everyone convinced Kendall is headed to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader...but is there any truth to it? Jill weighs in on the rumor, whether she'd be on board, and if Kendall could handle saying "Yes ma'am" all day long.
That conversation sparks a debate about dance auditions: Do parents always think their child is the best, even when they're clearly not? The moms discuss the difference between being a technically strong dancer and being a true performer.
Meanwhile, Kelly gives an update on her latest battle with the dreaded sleep apnea mask (spoiler: it's not going well), Jill's swollen wrist has everyone wondering if she's becoming allergic to bee stings after last year's lip fiasco, and the moms reflect on just how many incredible opportunities their kids have experienced—and continue to experience because of Dance Moms.
They also admit they've been completely fooled by AI-generated posts online and talk about how scary convincing the technology has become. Plus, they answer a listener question from someone whose family has three weddings happening in one year, sending Jill into full-on stress mode. How would you survive that wedding season?

More from Dear Dance Mom...
Jill, Kelly, and Melissa are wondering what happened to the world as they knew it. From how much harder it is for this generation to buy a home to phones that seem to read your mind, the moms reflect on how much life has changed and what the future might look like for their grandkids. Will there be flying cars? And how is the time flying by so fast?!
Jill, Melissa and Kelly cover a little bit of everything in this episode! Jill is going blonder and looking for recommendations on how to take better care of her hair, while her Steelers attire sparks a conversation about how football can set the mood in the entire house. They may not care if the Steelers win, but they definitely want them to play well. The moms also look back at some of the things that happened on Dance Moms that simply wouldn’t fly today, including things Abby said that they believe can stick with kids for the rest of their lives. A random round of “Thuffering Thucatash” sends them on one of many hilarious detours. Melissa has one very specific request for the future of technology: the Jetsons-style machine that instantly does your hair and makeup. Meanwhile, Jill shares all about her recent trip to Scottsdale and how impressed she is with Kalani’s new studio and her dancers.
Jill is officially in her grandma era! She catches Melissa and Kelly up on her recent travel chaos, helping each of her kids, and soaking up every minute with baby Chance. The moms talk about Riley’s decision to hire a sleep coach and how a strict sleep routine is working wonders, leading to a hilarious conversation about just how different parenting is today—from carefully planned schedules and ingredient lists to chemical-free cleaning products. Kelly even shares an embarrassing story about her questionable parenting skills that even she can't believe today!
This week, Jill, Melissa and Kelly catch up on all the big changes happening in their lives! Brooke is in New York and getting to spend some time with Kenzie as she prepares for her Broadway debut. Jill is getting ready to head to Arizona with Kendall as Charlotte prepares to move back home. Jill is sad to see Charlotte leave, but knows it’s time for her to get back to work and start this next chapter.
This week, Jill, Melissa, and Kelly have lots to talk about! They start with the US Open and the viral news surrounding a group of influencers. While Kendall and Charlotte knew their tennis etiquette, the moms have some thoughts — and whether this might be the end of influencers getting invited to events like this. Then, they get into the beauty and body trends their generation embraced that today’s kids seem to have little interest in, plus the surprising benefits of acupuncture. With Paige nursing a sprained ankle, the moms realize one thing will never change: no matter how old their kids get, they’ll always want to baby them. They also debate why appliances just don’t seem to be made like they used to be, wonder why everything breaks right after the warranty expires, and talk about seasonal depression. And as winter approaches, Melissa is looking forward to chasing the sunshine with some time in Florida and California! Have a question for the moms?
