Kate Gosselin & Dirty Kids

Dear Kate Gosselin,

I’m a huge fan (I watch for you, not for the kids) and I think you really should be Time’s Person of the Year, as I suggested and you should win an Emmy because you’re have about the only show on TV I can still watch with my kids.

After the most recent cupcake […]

J&K+8 = Marriage Reality

Maybe those who criticize the marriage of Jon & Kate plus 8 haven’t figured this out:
Happily Ever After was a damn lie. No one rides off into the sunset. The days are not all rosy and loving and no one is spending hours every day lying in bed telling each other how wonderful the other is. It’s just not […]

Perfect Jon & Kate Episode

Last night as the kids and I were snuggle up with popcorn to watch Jon & Kate, plus Ei8ht I saw the teaser for the Nanny episode and I thought up the perfect episode.
TLC, if you’re listening, here’s the episode I want to see:
I want to see the viewers who are critical of Kate’s mothering of […]

J & K + 8 = Emmy winners?

Last night the kids and I settled down for a little snuggle with Jon and Kate plus Ei8ht.
Truly, it’s one of the few shows on television without any inappropriate language or sexual connotation. And my kids like to watch it as much as I do.
They fight and love each other like you and Daddy, my […]

Internalizing Kate

You were rude to your husband, my friend said to me on Sat. She had observed a completely ordinary interaction between my husband and I.
I responded to her criticism by going into defensive hyper-sensitive justification mode that quickly turned into sobs.
I’ve been internalizing every hateful, critical and harsh comment against Kate Gosselin mother of sextuplets and […]

Dionne Quints & J&K+8

I saw this documentary about the Dionne Quintuplets and thought there were some relevant similarities between them and one of Discovery’s reality shows, Jon & Kate plus 8.
According to The Free Dictionary:
The Dionne Sisters were born in 1934, and were the first quintuplets ever to survive their infancy. The odds were one in 57 million.
Two days after Annette Lillianne Marie, Cécile […]

Kate Gosselin, Time’s Person of the Year?

Beth, a friend of Kate Gosselin’s, star of Jon & Kate, Plus 8, posted a comment on a post I wrote, of questionable tone, called Sextuplets, My Sympathies.  (I am working on the tone, as you can see in Tone Turtle.) The post got a much more extreme response than I expected. I meant no harm to […]

Jon and Kate plus 8

I I saw this woman who had sextuplets on Oprah last week. When they told her she was pregnant with an entire litter of babies she had the only rational and sane response I’ve ever heard of – she had a mini-nervous breakdown and had to be immediately hospitalized for shock. I imagine I might […]
