Down & Out, Quality Control & Carry-Ons

from Dear Dance Mom...

This week, the moms are covering everything from paper calendars to plane etiquette! Melissa admits she is still loyal to a good old-fashioned physical calendar, proving some habits really are a generational thing.After Jill shares that she's had three appliances break in what feels like no time, the conversation turns into a nostalgic debate about whether anything is made to last anymore—from household appliances to the quality of clothes. That naturally leads to the struggle of shopping for swimsuits these days, with Jill searching for one that doesn't leave her boobs "down and out," while Kelly swears by tummy control and reveals why she's no longer interested in plastic surgery after hearing her kids insist that small boobs are in.The summer vacation talk continues with packing, travel outfits and one very important question: do you chat with the person sitting next to you on a flight? Kelly would rather keep to herself, while Melissa is more than happy to break the ice by showing off photos of her dogs.Plus, the moms also reflect on how much reality TV has changed since their Dance Moms days, discussing both the good and the bad of today's reality television.Have a question for the moms?
