| | Jon and Kate
Okay, i have to make a confession, this is my second Jon and Kate blog I have written tonight. I wrote one earlier that I have to admit would have been pretty good in the world of gossip blogs but I felt extremely convicted and I am glad I felt that before i posted it. Here is my second, more well thought out take on the whole Jon and Kate debacle.
I sincerely wish and hope for the best for Jon, Kate, and all the children; this whole situation is a complete mess and I am sure that it escalated much quicker than they ever could have imagined. In my first blog i ripped Jon and Kate for what they are putting their children through and how greedy they seem to have become but let's be honest there is a lot more to this story than that. There are lots and lots of people that are being quite quick to dispel these parents as failures, idiots, and throw around harsh judgmental statements but not so fast, that's way too easy. Sure these parent's have made their fair shares of mistakes but are you really in the position to cast a stone at them? I am positive divorce wasn't their plan when TLC came to them pitching a TV show about their life and 8 kids. I am sure that they were probably overwhelmed with the thought of raising and supporting so many children and probably could use the money TLC was going to pay them. I am sure they had dreams of being able to provide food and shelter and trips to disneyland for the little ones.
I know one thing is for sure i won't be throwing any stones. I won't speak for you but I can not even fathom everything that goes along with having one child let alone 8 and 6 of them all coming at one time. I can't imagine how crazy their house gets, then you add the TV cameras into the mix, talk about stress and chaos. You couldn't pay me enough to endure that for my lifetime.
However, I think there is probably a chance that the money and the fame played a huge role in their relationship. I think there is a possibility the money and fame started going to their heads and it started to change them and that is sad but unfortunately that is life. People make poor choices with great intentions. People who have never been greedy all of a sudden can get sucked in quite easily. I think the money brought options and choices some of which probably had to be made fast, i am guessing some of these decisions weren't agreed upon 100% and it started to breakdown their marriage. They found themselves in situations they could have never expected or prepared themselves for. I am sure that there is no premarital counselor who asks an engaged couple, "have you thought about what you would do if you had 6 kids at one time and became millionaires particular overnight." I know I never heard that question, maybe you did.
I am sure there are parts to this equation that we will never know and we will never be able to discern who is telling the truth and where all the lies are coming from but it does no good for us to speculate and play the blame game. If you want to blame something blame "humanness" blame sin. I don't think anybody wishes the result of divorce on them and their family but that was their choice. All that we can do is hope for something redeeming to come as a result of all of this mess. Maybe one of these children cures cancer completely or impacts lives of their peers in a positive way, there is a huge chance here, seriously there is 8 of them. The best part of this story is that the future hasn't been written yet......THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!! Much Love, feel free to comment, i would love to hear what you think. |
