jon and kate: how about the eight?

dear kate,

i first saw your show when jackjack was just a couple of months old.  i was a haggard mom at that time, recuperating from childbirth and feeling all alone in taking care of my son.  watching you and jon make sense of your household with 2 sets of multiples inspired me. if you guys can do it on a daily basis (take it one day at a time, you said), then why can't i?

taking your mantra of taking a day at a time helped me survive the first few months, especially when my son got sick.  more than 2 years later, i am now enjoying motherhood and taking it all in, a day at a time.

when i heard about your divorce, i thought of your kids. divorce is never easy. like war, it leaves innocent casualties; in your case, the children.  a part of me went ballistic: "what?! that idiot has EIGHT kids and he even had time to go get a hussy?!"

i heard you had a makeover, okay, 2 makeovers, to make yourself feel better.  and now, you're dancing! i haven't seen it, so i don't know if you're any good. i hope you don't embarrass your kids.

your fan,
cheri

  1. I like your letter! I'm just a tiny bit obsessed with Jon and Kate gossip, and I still don't know how Jon went from being a nice, easy going family man to chasing young hussies.

  2. Like Bethany, I also have an unhealthy obsession for these people. I guess it frustrates me how I watched those kids grow up and I learned to love them. Then, all of a sudden... this. Totally unexpected and sadly I took it a bit personally, like many people.

    At first, it looked like Jon was the bad guy. Still I'm not sure how Kate can go across the country for weeks/months? at a time to do a show. She says she wants money to support her kids, but I think she has already done just fine.

    Take care of your kids, jon and Kate. That's why we love you.

  3. I used to feel sorry for Kate, but now I'm just tired of seeing her in the spotlight. I think they both need a butt-kicking. Jon needs it far worse than Kate, but they both need it.

  4. I recently wrote about Kate as well. Like you, I stated watching Jon & Kate while at home with my first baby. I learned to love their kids and was amazed by how they managed to do it all everyday.

    I'm disappointed in both of them because they let fame get between them and forgot to look after the best interest of their kids.

    And thank you so much for visiting me on my SITS day! I am your newest follower. I hope you'll come visit me again soon.
