Why do parents put their children in pageants?

You know the ones I’m talking about. I’ve watched a couple of episodes of Toddlers and Tiaras on TLC. Aside from the fact that they dress these children like dolls, give them a sexual look that is wildly inappropriate for young kids, and think it is cute for them to do suggestive dances moves, I can’t for the life of me figure out why parents would make that much extra work for themselves! It is tough enough to raise a kid, but add in having to make them sit still for make-up and tanning and get them to learn a dance routine, I just can’t fathom it. Please don’t mistake this as a question only for parents of girls, there are plenty of moms who subject their boys to it!
