Anyway, all that aside we witnessed the denigration of yet another family unit, and I highly doubt that the video light is solely to blame.
Jon has been obviously miserable throughout the years in his role as a dad of a multitude. Kate has not made that role any easier for him with her nitpicking everything he does wrong. So he has retreated into the boyish comforts of sports cars, diamond studs, bachelor pads, and much younger girlfriends.
Anyway, I digress. As a mother of 2 young ones I too have been guilty of nitpicking their father for simple things. On his days off when I would go to work I would come home to find the kids dirty, still in the same clothes I left them in, and having eaten sweets and things that they would never have had if I were there. I would yell at him but over time I have learnt to let go and let him parent. He is doing the best he knows how. Things that I would do one way he will do his way because to him it makes more sense. I subscribe to the theory that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
It is useless to continue arguing over viewpoints that both of us will never agree on. Otherwise I would find everything we disagree on and create fights, and most likely end up on divorce court. Now, so long as the kids are fed and their diapers changed that is all I am concerned with. And he does a really good job with that so I can't complain. Whenever he is home he does morning duty with the girls..diaper changes and bottles...I am really happy that I can sleep in.
Now if anyone has any tips on how to subtly get him to do the girls' laundry or to give the girls a bath...not just when the younger one takes a giant dump and messes up her clothes....then I am all ears.
So what can we learn from Jon and Kate about ourselves? Don't sweat the small stuff and learn to let things go....
