Kate Gosselin may be a single mother today, since her divorce last June, but she is still a devoted mother to her children and quite responsible for the children. From her last interview on Larry King Live on May 10, on the edited version, we could see the her determination heart to her child’s future and a little bit her heartache to her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin.
Any divorce parents have the problem to explain the reason of their split to child, and Kate and Jon had discussed it to their children, perhaps the eldest one can understand, Kate says, “They’re working through it, the same that Jon and I are. They’re doing remarkably well.”
They were asking about it, and “discussion between them and her mother” is good way, but dealing with it? Perhaps need extra attentions. Above all “They’re doing very well considering.”
For any child whose their parents divorce might talk about it and knowing that the parents will be much better living separate without losing one of them. “The Fourth of July we spent together as a family. My goal is, no matter what the circumstance, no matter what place, you know, one of us is in, my goal is really peace and the best that it can be for the kids.”
Starting the reality show at the beginning “on Discovery Health” just because “it was healthy and safe and fun” and finally they “moved forward because of that reason.” The Jon & Kate Plus 8 show extremely success, then became too much for her unsatisfied ex-husband, Jon quoted on Us Weekly about his wish to have “9 to 5” job than “24/7” which he called it “the nightmare I’m living.”
“Jon’s opinions and his goals are his. I know that, personally, for myself and the kids, this has been a good experience. It continues to be a good experience. And, you know, really the network has been extremely supportive, above and beyond, I feel, what they need to be. And I only experience good things.”
“Everyone works. Everyone has a job. Everyone has what they’re dealing with. And, generally speaking, this is the most flexible, workable, wonderful job for myself.”
Kate claim to have the private life on public only for the inspiration for a lot of people, not for the fame and the fortune she has. “Many, many people — many parents feel that their decisions are, maybe not, great decisions. Every parent has that, you know, parent guilt of my goal is to produce wonderful, productive individuals and put them out into society.”
“For us to show the world that we are not perfect, life is unpredictable, but life always goes on and there’s always, always, always something to look forward to. And for me, that is raising my children to the best of my ability.”
She knows the consequences for being in the part of the show, she is “smart enough”, even if her ex-husband says no, for her and her kids participating on the show is what they like.
But yet the detail about their divorce is still the topic to discuss, she mains concern only for the children.
“My main concern is my kids. And I don’t want them to see or hear anything on TV that I didn’t discuss with them. And we discussed what they need to know at their developmental age groups. But I don’t feel like I need to go any further than that at this time.”
And about counseling for the children about the divorce effect, she says, “Absolutely, when the time is right.”
I know she has been through rough time, especially when it comes to someone had been closed to you for so long. I can see her fight for the best for the sake of her eight children. Well, someone should! I only hope for the best for all. And wish they really can get the peace they hop when they made the decision for divorce.
So be happy mom.
