Kate Gosselin's Rise To Fame Born From Her Relatable Bitchiness - Page 2
No matter what might be said about her, Kate says if anyone really wants to see her bare her fangs, they only have to go after her kids. "I don't want them dragged into this. It kills me," she says. "I'm far from perfect, but I've started to prioritize what is important, what has to change, what I can live with, and what I have to live with. My children are important. My attitude is important. My marriage is important, and though I don't know where that's going right now, I know I can definitely choose my attitude. And I know that I will never give up, I will not stop, I will not fail my kids. Everything else I can't control, I'm just going to have to learn to live with it."
Beyond the obvious, "Kate's a bitch" response, which I feel intrinsically she is, Kate in many ways is like a lot of moms out there: fed up, overwhelmed and unwilling to put up with it. Many of us, myself included, work jobs and try and support our families as best we can, only to come home to crabby, hungry kids, messy houses and too much workload. But unlike most of us, Kate has an ARMY of people helping her and loads of money to help offset the stress over making ends meet. While Kate has many fans and supporters, there are also plenty of women who manage to do all Kate does WITHOUT berating our spouses, firing 40 staffers sent by the state to help or lashing out at anyone or everyone without the slightest provocation.
Season 5 of "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" premiers Monday, and there is no doubt that with all this drama, some of which spawned by Kate and Jon themselves, their show will win big ratings. But at what cost to their family, children and marriage?
As a society we need to encourage balance and moderation in our lives, and all Jon and Kate Plus Eight offers is extremes on each end of the spectrum. Surely Kate isn't ALWAYS a bitch, anymore than any other woman. So how about we see that side Kate. Unless of course, it doesn't exist.
