I’ve avoided writing about this subject for sometime, but now I have no choice. Jon and Kate, from reality show fame Jon and Kate plus 8, are getting a divorce. Yes it’s official and it’s time to discuss some of the lessons learned from this interracial reality couple.
I realize that the next few comments might piss some women off, but oh well. From the first time I saw the show, I realized Kate was a bit… bitchy. And not bitchy in a good way, but in a bad way. Originally I thought I would see how they managed their life and schedule around 8 kids, but it turned into a train wreck. I would sit and watch how badly she treated Jon. I couldn’t believe my eyes. She was disrespecting him on national TV. And somehow he took it from her. I guess he just accepted it as the norm.
The lesson to be learned from Kate… If you are enough of a bitch/dick, you will end up alone. The amazing thing is, she acted surprised that he finally stood up and left her. She mentioned that she doesn’t know why he’s so upset and mad at her. Hmmm.. she needs to look at some of the last couple seasons. She yells at him in the grocery store. She yells at him at the park. She yells at him at home. I wouldn’t let a stranger yell at my dog that way.
The lessons to be learned from Jon.. Don’t be such a pussy wimp. Grow a set of balls! As much as women enjoy a man with a loving and mild temperament, there comes a time when you have to a man. You have to stand up and put on your big boy pants. Make decisions for your family that will lead them to the next level. I realize that Jon is from Hawaii and is probably of Asian/Polynesian decent. And if I had to guess, his culture is a big part of his passive attitude.
The best part of their big announcement show is their side interviews. For the 1st time they were real, honest and raw. And even though some parts seemed like they were reading from the script of Dr. Phil, they are trying to be adults.
The lessons to be learned from Jon and Kate… relationships aren’t simple or easy. Especially when there are 8 kids in the picture. Often relationships/marriages don’t begin with the expectations of divorce. But divorce is real. It leaves parents with tough decisions on how to handle birthday’s, holidays, school activities, and more. Divorce leaves many people with the sense of failure.
Kate lost respect for Jon a long time ago and everyone could tell. It seemed like they were the last ones to know. I don’t want to blame one person for the failure of a relationship, but I could never be Jon. I could never allow someone to talk to me like a moron. I could never be a follower. I could never close my eyes and allow someone else to control my life. For once, there’s an attractive white woman that turns me off.
I asked my twitter followers what they thought and here are some of their thoughts on Jon and Kate.
The last lessoned learned from Jon and Kate… now that you have kids, be an adult. Take responsibility for your actions. Love your kids. Spend time with them. Make sure they are happy. Dont miss their birthdays, Christmas and any other activity they are involved in.
Would you expose your family on a reality TV show? Who is the most responsible for the Jon and Kate divorce?
