Kate and Tony are on the cover of People this week, and let's just debunk Kate's outlandish claims right now."Why can't a mom have fun?" bemoans Kate.
Kate is confusing the issue here, trying to pretend that all the "haters" just don't want her to be happy. Kate, it's not all about your happiness. Actually, it's not about your happiness at all. You chose to bring eight children into the world and their happiness is now part of the equation, too. You don't have fun being with your family Kate? You don't have fun being with your children? Kate, no one begrudges you having fun, even doing something just for yourself once in awhile. But you are clearly happiest away from home and you can't hide it. Why is fun for you always away from your family? Why does fun always mean sushi, $7,000 haircuts, and jet setting to NY and LA? Why don't you enjoy and want to be with the family you worked so hard to build? We wish she could have fun curling up with the kids at bedtime reading a storybook together. It's sad.
"You say I'm a bad mom. It destroys me."
Sorry your feelings got hurt. But stop focusing on the fact that a lot of people think you're a bad mom, and focus on why they are saying that. Are there choices you are making in your life that could be causing people to form this opinion? Is it really because people just hate you or are jealous, or is it because we grew fond of your eight children you put out there for us to see week after week and worry their parents aren't all they should and could be for them? Is it because a lot of people just honestly feel they deserve better than what's happening right now? Use this opportunity to take a hard look at yourself and your choices. Consider making better ones.
"It's not about an obsession with fame," Kate says.
If it weren't an obsession about fame, the cameras would have been turned off four years ago. If it weren't about an obsession with fame, Kate wouldn't continue to do everything she can to stay in the spotlight. If it weren't about fame, the paparazzi wouldn't have gotten into her limo with her in NY. Kate, you aren't fooling anyone. Just admit it, you love the fame and attention. Admit that you used your kids to be famous. We'd feel a lot better about this situation if you were just honest with everyone.
"If I was financially able to provide for eight kids on my former salary as a nurse, I would do it…but that's not possible…I cannot rely on the fact that Jon will be there to help support the kids, so I approach it as if I am the sole provider."
Another dig at Jon. We're not falling for this. All the reports coming from the divorce settlement indicated Jon was paying Kate five figures a month in child support. If that's not enough to raise eight kids we don't know what is. Jon has not abandoned the kids, he just spent an entire week with them, even taking Hannah to the doctor. Who paid for that? There is absolutely no evidence Jon has ever not complied with his child support order. Where is your evidence Jon isn't giving you enough money, Kate? You can bet if he isn't, we'd hear about it. And in fact, leave the kids enough and suddenly Jon might be the one filing for child support from her. Child support is paid by the person who spends the minority of time with the children. Right now, that looks to be Kate. Psyche!
Actually, you're right Kate, it's not possible to provide for eight kids in the outlandish celebrity lifestyle you've created for them. But you're not the first family with eight kids. Some families have even more than eight kids. How do you think they do it? Do you think they're just all on the street, or dead? Come off it. Somehow they manage to survive without resorting to selling their privacy, and their children's privacy. Downsize your ridiculous lifestyle and suddenly raising eight kids might not be so hard.
