“Mother of the Month”
I must re-phrase that to “Motherfucker of the month”.

Sorry. You don’t have to post that I was just being silly. I get that way . . .

Thanks Alana!

nccgirl: Not all of GH’s readers are old broads!

The first time I wrote GH regarding Kate Gosselin, they wrote back with a standard form letter stating that my opinions were valued, blah, blah, and the letter was being forwarded to the senior editors. Then I sent them the above, and never heard back.

Today in my email I got a letter stating that they were, in next month’s issue, going to print many of the letters, both postive and negative regarding the GH feature of the Gosselins. Yeah, ok, is that so people will buy the mag just to read it and they will have two bumper sales months in a row, or what?

GH is no better than any other corporation that is making money off those kids.

I thank you for your kind comments, and hope that you continue to read

What a FANTABULOUS commentary! I so appreciate a writer who is hilarious AND intelligent. Thank you for making my day even better.

I especially enjoyed the part about throwing away extended family and friends – “…who NEEDS family?”!
“No man is an island…” but Kate Gosselin is and she’s teaching her entire brood how to be little islets. What unhealthy interpersonal relationships Kate and Jon are modeling for their children.

You are a great communicator – please keep writing. I guess what makes what you say so funny is the fact that it could ALL be true and it’s tragic. There’s a real talent in finding the humor in the disastrous and sad; it hits people where they live, only there’s relief at the end of those long dark tunnels. You shine the light, for me, anyway, so well.

I cancelled my subscription to GOOD HOUSEKEEPING following the “photo shoot” episode; I was incensed.

Could you let “nccgirl” know that not all of the mag’s. former readers are “older women”? Some of us voracious readers can’t find enough to read and fall prey to gift subscriptions – ha! Shoot. I still watch “THE HILLS”, even.

I wish you could send your latest masterpiece to all of the above recommended outlets WITHOUT the disclaimers; well, not until the very end. You know, if it was a little longer it’d make a great Sociology project – like “How Americans Have Lost Their Sense of Humor; A Commentary On The Necessity Of Immediate Disclaimers In The Written Word.”

Thanx again!

Thank you for taking your time to comment, and more so, thank you for “getting it”

It is appreciated!

You need to send that to the NY POST as an editorial or the Atlanta Journal, USA TODAY. It is well written and reflects perfectly what our society has become. Jon and Kate indeed are fee mongers!!! You can bet your ALDERGATOR on that!!

Thank you so much for your comments, Barbara, they are spot on!

Many, many of us got the first emails over a week ago “thanking us for our thoughts regarding it”. Today they started saying that she is not Mother of the Month.

Score!
