When I read that Kate Gosselin’s new TLC show focuses on Kate parenting other people’s children the screaming in my head wouldn’t stop. (The only other voice I can hear in my head is that of Hannibal Lector asking me ‘Well, Katie – have the lambs, I mean children, stopped screaming?’ and the answer is ‘Noooooooo.’)
Since Jon Gosselin made damn sure that his children were not to be exploited on television by his ex-wife after he left the scene (literally) — and you know I’m hitting rock bottom when I agree with Jon Gosselin, though I sense that request had more to do with him NOT being part of any show — Kate had to find another way to stay relevant in the Reality Television Landscape. And since parenting is her supposed talent (really?) TLC has fashioned a show about Kate dispensing advice and lending a hand at raising OPK. And trust me, OPK is nothing like OPP, we are talking about innocent kids here.
There goes the screaming in my head again. Somebody please make it stop.
To quote the obviously completely detached creators at TLC: ‘each family will have some unique circumstance that is a story in itself. As Kate gets to know them she’ll roll up her sleeves and see what she can do to help.’
Sob.
So I need to know, would you let Kate Gosselin into your home to help raise your precious offspring? You know, since she spends so much time with her own eight kids she must know something. Like how to find your best camera angle while appearing to be attentive to each child or how to not look like you’re begging for someone to offer free plastic surgery while watching you cry over nature’s allotment post-partum or how to hire a team of nannies. Those things just aren’t innate you know.
OMG. Can someone make the screaming stop, please? Obviously I’m biased so please weigh in…
About katie
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is she going to throw her nannies on camera? They should really be paid extra for that.

Kate as Supernanny? Ummm, no.
“As Kate gets to know them she’ll roll up her sleeves and see what she can do to help.”
NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING.

Is she going to bring a team of nannies to everyone’s house?
I don’t know. If she comes to my house do I also get a tummy tuck and a 1st class family vacation to Hawaii? Hubman’s health insurance covers therapy so I might be able to work with all this.

No. I sure wouldn’t. But I might invite her over so I can have someone to show me where the best place to get fake hair is. I’d like to have hair options, too. I need a new mean face too I think, mine makes me look fat.
.-= Nichole´s last blog ..to lazy or not to lazy =-.
I would definately not let her come to my home. I’ve only seen Kate and Jon +8 a few times and she’s such a control freak. I’d probley kill her.
.-= Katie´s last blog ..The vanity of blogging =-.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll no I wouldn’t let her into my home or anywhere near my children. Frankly, I’m not even sure that I’d trust her nannies.

Why? Why, why, why? I’d sooner let Richard Simmons into my house to help parent my children than this whiny, self-centred Barbie b*tch. Honey, where’s my shotgun?
