ChitChatMom is on the way out the door for a Dr.’s appointment, but before I go, I’ve got to say something about all the Jon & Kate drama. Seriously people… when is it gonna end? Their lives have been splashed all across the covers and pages of People and US Weekly and I’m starting to get sick of it. I admit I have been a fan of the show since it’s beginning. I got hooked watching re-runs on TLC and even told my husband around the time that we decided we were ready to start a family that “if she can handle eight I can certainly manage one.”
Now the drama around this TV mama has just exploded into a major media frenzy and I’m turned off by it. I can’t even begin to imagine being in her shoes with eight kids and a husband that doesn’t seem that interested in his family any more. I’m not saying that Kate is a saint. But certainly neither is Jon. I don’t know many husbands that would think it’s okay to go snowboarding on the other side of the country and miss your wife’s birthday. If my husband did that… may all the saints in heaven help him.
I haven’t even bothered to watch the season premier yet, and to be honest I don’t know that I will. There’s something profoundly sad and disturbing about the whole thing that I think won’t mix well with my 29 weeks prego body full of hormones. I cried yesterday over frozen yogurt… I think that’s an indication that I’m not ready for something as heavy as an episode of Jon & Kate.
So what do all you mamas think? Have you had enough of America’s favorite super-sized family? (Sorry Duggar family… but it’s true).
