In Which I Chime In On The Gosselins

*Update* So I need to say that Jon Gosselin is denying the cheating allegations and I think the guy got a bum rap in the whole marriage department, so I want to believe him. I don't, but I want to.

I don't generally blog about gossip, celebrity or otherwise, but the news that Jon Gosselin cheated on his ring-tailed bitch wife? How can I not talk about this?

So he cheated on Kate and public opinion is pretty much of the "she totally had it coming," vein. While I'm not a fan of hers, no wife has it coming, unless she's cheating as well. Frankly, I'm amazed it's cheating he indulged in. Were I him, she'd probably be in a shallow grave in the backyard. Right after she bitched at me for breathing.

Given my personal history, it can't come as a shock that I am pretty anti-infidelity. It's a chicken-shit thing to do and I really don't want to hear you don't understand, it just happened my spouse doesn't understand me, I'm so unhappy, the Ambien made me do it, garbage that cheaters seem to spout. Because it is garbage. You knew who she was and you married her anyway. There is no excuse for cheating on your spouse in my book. None. If you have to leave, then just leave for God's sake. Don't abandon your family while staying put. Still a shit thing to do, but it's a lot more honest than screwing someone else.

So he's an ass. Let's be honest and say we all saw something like this coming. But her reaction to all this blows my mind. I didn't realize it was possible to dislike her more than I already did. She calls it a "learning experience." She's "focusing on her kids." Ooooo-kay. When I was cheated on, the only thing I learned was how far I could accurately throw a sharp knife. Yes, I focused on my child. But I actually did it in our home, not while I was away on a book tour. I certainly didn't claim I was dealing with it privately, then go on the Rachel Ray show. Plus, her reaction to her critics? "No one is perfect." Again, I say, oooooo-kay.

Now this isn't a slam against working mothers. This is a slam against a woman who is actively pimping out her children to fund her lifestyle. Blech. The whole concept is distasteful, even before you factor in her abrasive and ugly personality. The sad thing is I don't pity her and I always feel bad for a woman who's husband has broken his vows. She doesn't really seem to feel bad about this. She's probably pissed because he didn't follow her instructions on how to carry out a affair. Because you know she had a set written out.

I've never watched their show, but from what I understand, this woman is a real piece of work. Is it true that she let her kids go to a bakery to make birthday cupcakes, but then wouldn't let them EAT them?

I think that there is no excuse for infidelity. That's just my opinion, probably because my parents cheated on each other, and this led to their divorce, and they've hated each other ever since, and their ongoing battles basically ruined my childhood.

you're right, there is NO excuse for cheating,...even being married to Kate! But damn, that woman is a shrew.

I don't know if he if actually "cheated", as the press can make anything look the way they want it to, and I haven't seen where they said "yes, he cheated." But he definitely made poor decisions considering the level of fame they have invited into their life. And I have so much more to say that I think I need to just post to my own blog :)

Hahahaha!!! So true! I have to agree with you on this one. Kate certainly has many flaws and is quite rude to her hubby, but still nobody deserves to be cheated on. I also think it's funny that guys think they can lie their way out of cheating as if their wives are that dumb. I think they both deserve what they got. Great post!

I started watching the Gosselins and got to the point where I just coulnd't watch it anymore because I'd be so pissed off at Kate by the end of the show.
I really don't think Jon cheated. I think he wasn't savvy enough to know he shouldn't allow himself to be put into a situation where the press could make a mountain out of a molehill. I'm sure all this controversy will just make the show more popular.

I just have one thing to say, who would have an affair with the father of eight young children? Why would you want in on that baggage? They just scare me.

I'm a late commenter, but I did have a comment on this one. This whole situation just screams publicity stunt to me. It's like the PR folks went to Kate and were like,"listen, Kate, America basically hates you, and since there's nothing we can do to make them change their minds, we'll just make them hate Jon too". The both of them make me sick. I can't even watch the show.

Welcome to My World

It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.


Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.


Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.


Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.

Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.


The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.


This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.

Look At All These BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL People!
