I used to feel sorry for Ashlee whenever Jess bullied her

I've only been watching this show for a few months,so I don't know the history between these 2, but I always felt bad when Jess attacked Ashlee and and the other moms would participate.

But wtf??? Ashlee has turned into a real *beep* (and I hate that word). She attacks and bullies the new moms like there's no tomorrow. What was the new dancer's mom supposed to say when Abby asked her if she thought her daughter could provide better face than Bryn? No? Bryn is wonderful and my daughter sucks? GMAFB!

As someone who was bullied throughout the majority of my school days, I'd NEVER participate in bullying someone IRL. And ESPECIALLY when they've done nothing to deserve it.

Oh Ashlee, how you've turned into the one thing you hated. 

Are you enjoying the show? It's a recurring theme going on for six years, moms that have been there longer will bully the newer arrivals. Then the new ones bully the newer ones.

Other overused themes:

"You don't talk about another person's child like that!"
"I feel (insert name) deserves/earned the right to .." (Abby cuts her off) "NO ONE DESERVES ANYTHING!"

Im not sure "enjoying" would be the correct word.....maybe " entertaining"?

I dunno, Ashlee totally rubbed me the wrong way last night. I get that it's mostly just for show, but that new mom didn't do or say anything wrong. By the time we are adults, ESPECIALLY when one has been bullied before, they'd 99.9% never be a bully. I didn't like Jess most of the time, but I'd love it if she came back, just to remind Ashlee his it feels. I know the show is ending, and that isn't happening, but it would be good.

The typical stereotypes of this show get old fast. I've noticed the ones you mentioned. The kids act like the grownups. It's good to see them support each other, even when their moms are at each others' throats.

I still think Ashlee is the least nasty one of them all.

The other mothers bashed Brynn a lot, so I know why Ashlee reacts like this.

I also think that new mom shouldn't have reacted with "she will" (use her face more than Brynn will). I was shocked!
You do not say that in presence of the child!!
She should have said her daughter will try her very best.

Brynn is at an age where confidence can be crushed in an instant.
To have a mom waltz in there and say her kid will do much better than Brynn must have been another uppercut. It's just not done!

True, Ashlee may not be as nasty, but she's either not too bright or an intentional $#!t-stirrer with the "shady" questions she asks of Abby and the other moms! All of them are probably prompted, but she still looks bad doing it time and time again! I guess it wouldn't be a reality show if made to sit and "keep it" to themselves!   

Ashlee came off as very fake when she was yelling. They are encouraged to do it.

my top 5 best yellers with Abby or the moms are:

1.Kelly

2.Kira

3.Jill

4.Christi

5.Cathy

I know i'm probably forgetting some but these 5 are epic screamers!

Yea, they clearly egged her on to walk in there and start drama.
Jill pulling off Ashlee's boots was just one example of how much they wanted her to storm in and yell.
