Tuesday Thoughts: Jon & Kate Plus 8


I think this is going to be my FAVORITE day of the week since I love expressing my opinions about things...anything! :) Tuesday Thoughts will involve my mindless rambles, soapbox moments, and just my general thoughts about...whatever is on my mind at the moment! :)

Today, my thoughts are revolving around the whole Jon & Kate Plus 8 separation. I'm a little disappointed by their (HIS) choice to separate. Now, I don't know what went on behind the scenes, if they went through counseling, or what have you, but if they did, it wasn't mentioned at all last night. And if they didn't, then shame on them. I think they need to work on their marriage, rather than keep the show going...they have EIGHT kids involved!!! I was extremely irritated when Kate said that Jon wasn't talking to her...what are we, 12?! I'm sorry, but this is a marriage...you shouldn't just walk away. I think all avenues should be explored to try to fix a marriage...divorce should be the last option, not the only option. It seems to me that Jon is immature and totally running away from everything. It seems to me that Kate was more willing to work on things...I am pulling my hair out over this!

They kept saying over and over that they did this for the kids and that for the kids...everything was for the kids, but they didn't do the #1 most important thing for the kids: keep their marriage #1 in their priorities. They let that fall to the wayside. I strongly believe that the most important thing you can do for your kids is keep your marriage strong, and to keep it a priority in your lives. Kids need to feel secure and the #1 most important thing that contributes to their security is knowing that their parents love and respect one another, and have a healthy and happy relationship. Jon & Kate let that go.

I am just so sad for those 8 beautiful kids...I wish Jon & Kate had worked harder.

Amen! I'm so disappointed in the decisions they have made, I know there are things that probably that went on behind the scenes, but when you have 8 kids you owe it to them to talk to your spouse!
