Jon & Kate are no more?
I watched the first episode of John and Kate plus 8 last night where they were interviewed separately for the first time. It was said. I’m pretty sure I’m being bias for siding with Kate (being a woman and all) but Jon has just been a dick. He’s always been a dick on shows, cracking these jokes that would make any woman feel like shit. Anyway, I see this so often. Its the male midlife crisis and it ends up hurting families more than anything. I’ve seen that happen in my own family, within my own group of friends, within my Mothers group of friends and there is just no reason to throw in the towel without doing everything possible. Jon said on the show that he has a hard time communicating. He’s right! He needs to work with someone on that. Kate is overbearing, but I think she’s overwhelmed, I mean, look at all her little responsibilities she has everyday. He has no idea the pressure she was being put through while he was at work. Or maybe he does, I don’t know.
What I do know is Kate is scared of being a failure, a static and just like any woman who are social nurturing beings, they DON’T want to raise a family alone. When they had kids, she saw Jon in the picture from beginning to end. She saw a partner, a lover, a best friend and it was so obvious in her face last night that she is still so in love with him. The way he talked, he couldn’t care less about her and is ready for the next adventure around the corner, leaving the adventure he already started and hasn’t finished. Sort of like he graduated from college and he’s ready for college.
It doesn’t work like that Jon. You IDIOT. You aren’t a kid anymore ready to start something new and exciting. You’re a grown man with a wife and family and you have to push those fears of getting older away because you are supposed to grow old with your family. Go buy a red sports car or something but don’t traumatize these kids because you can’t figure it out.
Their new hours is pretty, to be somewhat positive. I forsee goats and chickens and other animals like that in the future. Kids growing up on a farm have such a great advantage.
I’m sorry Kate. I’m rooting for you that you can get through this. You’re a woman, you can, but I hope time will heal wounds faster than usual and you’ll find the one that does want the job that Jon didn’t finish.
