Your Dirty Laundry is Repulsive
Headline News is infuriating me and causing me to express myself via the interwebs. Sometimes this happens. The subject this evening—-Jon and Kate. So…I’ve written them a letter that they will never read.
Here’s the deal. You had me with your twins, and your six babies, and your cute little reality show. I watched, I ooh-ed, I ahh-ed, the whole deal. However, I find the drama surrounding your split disgusting. It was interesting to watch a large family function on television for a moment or two. What’s not interesting is seeing that family fall apart and all of the BS that comes with that. It is sad. It is depressing. But, I do not feel sorry for you as much as I do your children.
As a product of, not one, not two, but three divorces, I can tell you right now that the pain you are going through cannot even amount to the confusion that surrounds your children. The constant interviews and media circus that follows your every move (because of your doing) cannot help matters at all. By now, I’m sure every child in your childrens’ school knows them. They are famous. And those kids know who the Gosselin kids’ parents are too. They see you on television. It is one thing to walk into school every day a well-known and famous child. It is also one thing to be that kid whose parents are divorcing. Imagine having all that drama unfold in front of the world.
You want to do right by your kids? You want to shield them from pain? Stop doing interviews. Just stop. No one could possibly be interested in anything you have to say at this point. We’ve heard it all. Not to mention the fact that you are not the first two people on the planet to go through a split. I’m assuming that you are aware of the divorce rate in America these days. You are a statistic. I’m not trying to downplay your pain in any way, but you are doing yourself no favors by parading that pain on national television. Instead, you should shut your mouths. This should be your family’s business, not the world’s. If you love your children, and clearly you do because you wanted them so badly you went through the fertility treatments which enabled you to produce the entire brood, then you should stop giving “exclusive” interviews. Keeping your face in the media is not helping your children, it is harming them. And it’s making the rest of us ill.
And, if I were able to talk to the collective media, I would implore them to just stop covering these people and talking about them as if their drama is real news. Jon and Kate need to take a vacation from the spotlight for a minute and get their shit together. I’m sure no one would miss them in the slightest.
Yippee for blogging.
