The Gosselin Drama
My friend Tara asked me what I thought of the whole 'Jon & Kate' situation, and I had just read a blog that pretty muched summed up how I see things...being a stay-at-home mom and all. I don't have the time or mental energy right now to come up with my own words, so here are another blogger's:
If you are not residing under a rock, you may be aware that Jon & Kate Gosselin ( of Jon & Kate plus 8) are coming under fire in the media. Casting aside any unnatural attempt to be nonjudgmental, let me break it down for you. Jon got busted cheating on his wife. This made me sick. Then I actually heard people blaming Kate for Jon stepping out. This made me mad.
I watch the show. I realize she is controlling and quite rude to Jon. Would I want to hang out with Kate? Maybe not. But ladies, you don't sell out a sister! If being bitchy to your husband when your children are stressing you out is validation to cheat, we're all in trouble. I know I can get quite snappy when I'm feeling a little Mommy'd out. And this lady has EIGHT children----six of whom are the same age!!! I think it's a miracle that she didn't kill Jon long ago. Did anyone else see the episode where he longed for their dating days when she had long blonde hair? Seriously? Where is his head at? Your wife is trying to stay sane while raising 8 young children, you twit! (I'm not sure I like the word "twit", but it felt very unChristianlike to type "bastard".)
Then came the rumors that Kate was having an affair, too. This made me laugh. Mothers who stay at home with young children are not looking for affairs. I'm not sure when I appointed myself spokesperson for all of these women, but here's the deal. Mothers who are with their children 24/7 want to be ALONE. They do not want more demands on their time. I am not suggesting that Kate is above emotionally relying on another man, (since her husband is having second thoughts about this whole family thing), but I'm pretty sure "hooking up" is low on her list. I bet there are days that the woman just wants everybody to go away so that she can take a hot bath and relax. (I need an "Amen" choir.)
Anyway, I am praying for Jon & Kate. That might seem silly to some, because they are celebrities, but I think it's important to remember that they are real people. And there are 8 innocent little victims caught in the crossfire of this very public battle. My heart aches for them.
(Pictured above is Kate G., and a few of her offspring. No Jon pics will be allowed in my blog until I can learn how to photoshop a scarlet letter on his chest.)
