Give me a break! Many moms are not "morning persons" but you do what you have to do. I had 7 kids without full time child help and yeah it was very tiring. BTW for one year I was on chemotherapy and still managed to get it together to get my kids up, fed and dressed for school.
But she had a husband willing to be a big help in the evening and in the morning. So, is it bad that she let him? Jon seemed perfectly OK with it when he talked about it in the show. I figure it was great time for him with his kids. My husband worked 3-11. He was a morning person. He loved getting up with the kids in the morning. He got to spend time with them..and they are his kids too. Nope, I see nothing wrong with him spending time with his kids and letting her have some time to herself at the same time. Lucky for me my husband appreciated all I did during the day when I wasn't working outside of the house (he helped me even more when I was working, once the kids were a bit older), and was more than willing to spend time with our kids, and help me at the same time.
As I posted earlier, I assume since she now has more help, she may not be as tired, and is able to get up earlier. Once your kids are bigger, you may also have more time to yourself in the morning.
The clothes and vacations are not just freebee's. They would be part of their pay. Good beneifts, but if you want to believe it was work or not, they would be part of their job.
From what I've heard it's not unheard of for someone who has been treated the way Jon was to go crazy for awhile.
Maybe..but I happen to think we are seeing the Jon that was Jon before they got married. The free spirit that roamed Europe with a backpack. He certainly has made it clear that he didn't want all of these kids, but he's had no problem spending the money they all earn (J & K plus the kids). I do think his PR people are finally getting trhough to him though.
And I don't want to hear how she has to do this for the kids. We managed to raise all of our kids without any free rides, put the older ones through college and even, although it would kill Kate, to pay for our own vacations, trips and kids clothes!
I managed to raise mine too, but if I had been offered an oportunity to make my kids set for life, not have to take out student and parent loans for college, not have to think about money when planning vacations, had a house with lots of land, I prob would have grabbed it. I would hope I would have done things a little differently than what it appears they are doing, but unless I walk in their shoes, I really don't know all of what is or has gone on. We see what TLC wants us to see at this time.
Just a head's up for anyone that has to go shopping..just back from grocery shopping. Not a thing to read in the tabloids on J & K while waiting in line. Other celebrities kids were on the covers this week..pretty boring wait in line.
