My kids are going to help me and if that's child labor, just turn me in! It's a good thing I have a big mixer with a dough hook. I just hope the motor lasts. It's going to take one kid just to wash pans and get them ready for the next batch. My son asked if it would take more than an hour. It's going to take more than a day. Oh well.

When I was 20, the man I ended up marrying,was 32,and we have been married for 30 years! He says he could never be with a woman his own age,or even closer to his age,as he thinks women age worse than men do,and is proud to have a young,sexy looking woman for a wife. He ALWAYS dated much younger women, what's wrong with that?Not all people are the same,what a boring world it would be is we were!

But I do question, some people (the ones who have been trash talking Kate & Jon and even making innappropriate comment's about the kid's) on every Gosselin site out there for month's. I just can't take that kind of "child advocacy" seriously. I don't care if they don't like Kate or not. I just find some of the ring leader's rather hipocritical. <br />----------------------------------<br /><br />I totally see your point. And I agree with you. To a degree.<br /><br />There is hypocrisy all around. How about the ones that complain about people not saying nice things about Kate yet bash other bloggers and other commenters? What are their true intentions?<br /><br />The "If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all" should apply to everyone, not just those against Kate. <br /><br />It seems to me there is always an "except" implied, than it's okay to say whatever you want. As in If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything, "except if they are a racist", "except if they have a hate blog", "except if they have a fan site", "except if they seem mentally ill", "except if they go on national tv with your wife and call out your sister", "except if they are passive aggressive". How about "except if they exploit your children for money"? There is always an exception to justify bashing others.<br /><br />And I was not directing this to you in particular momsby. ;)SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-21327949680000083382010-05-20T15:59:19.945-04:002010-05-20T15:59:19.945-04:00Hi all I snoozed through tuesday's DWTS, next ...Hi all I snoozed through tuesday's DWTS, next week will be more lively. <br />Schmeckygirl said<br />What if you want to put all the kids' money in an account for them for their future but your husband wants to blow it all on a large tv for the family and a family trip to Disney World?

What if Dad wants to use money for college and mom wants to use some for expensive private school, or to hire a housekeeper or nanny to make the child's life better. There needs to be resources for families to help them find ways to work out these issues. The answers are different for each family and while guidelines are good, I don't know if a law could cover all of the exeptions and circumstances.

Unfortunately, because society isn't perfect and neither are parents, and some parents are just plain bad enough to make the rest have to unnecessarily fork over some parental decisions and responsibilities to the government. <br />----------------------------------------------------<br /><br />I totally agree with you. It's honestly a scary thing to know that the government can essentially control how you raise your children in some aspects. <br /><br />I agree it's unfair especially because it's usually based on parents that don't do right by their children. As an aside to that, I wonder why you're not more frustrated with Kate and Jon and TLC than with the "child advocates". It's their actions that brought this about. Had they handled the children being filmed regarding privacy and hours filmed and pay, this wouldn't be an issue. TLC really went out of their way to avoid Child Labor Law issues. It's because of them that this is even being discussed.<br /><br />Aside from that I also worry about what the government can say about what I do or don't do with my children. Religion, education, health (vaccines, etc)... those things are all very personal, private decisions.<br /><br />For instance, my daughter takes the bus home from school. Yesterday, I was driving past her school just before dismissal and told my husband I was going to pick her up instead. He actually asked Are you allowed? (I usually have to send a note with her to school in the morning if I plan to pick her up.) I was like What?!?! Allowed?!?!?! If I want to pick my daughter up from school, I'll pick her up from school. But I know the school frowns on it because of custody issues, etc. <br /><br />Before going in I actually debated between sounding like I was asking if it was okay I was picking her up or going in there assertive and letting them know I was picking her up. I decided on being assertive. She's my daughter. I will pick her up if I want to and I won't apologize for that. I did explain I was passing by, etc. <br /><br />I'm one of the parents that feel I have a right to know what's going on in her class. I'm her parent and that doesn't end when she's in school. It was very hard for me to hand her over to school and give up my rights to just go in and check on her whenever I wanted. I wanted to see her in her new setting, etc but I also know how important it is for her for her personal growth. It still bugs me that I can't peek in on her in class just for the fun of it.

However, I think the overall issue depends on your political world view of government vs parental role and responsibilities over children's welfare; its depth, breadth and scope of governmental reach. Unfortunately, because society isn't perfect and neither are parents, and some parents are just plain bad enough to make the rest have to unnecessarily fork over some parental decisions and responsibilities to the government. <br /><br />That being said, I agree with Baby Mama in that these protestors are just hell-bent and out to get Kate and using child advocacy as a pretext. So whoever else they have to bring down to do it, including the rest of us, so be it for them. Altruistic? My ***. They're only in it for their own childish hurt feelings of inadequacies or whatever. I'd also say to them, "Sheesh, get over it", but of course, just like a toddler in the midst of a temper tantrum, they're incapable of rationale.lucysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611079988227357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-29859907004427724292010-05-20T12:11:08.824-04:002010-05-20T12:11:08.824-04:00Baby Mama said...

It's the children's money. They earned it.<br /><br />A parent can take a percentage of that money to pay for supporting the child's "career" if they have to. There's a percentage that a parent is legally allowed to take but no more as far as I know. <br /><br />What if you want to put all the kids' money in an account for them for their future but your husband wants to blow it all on a large tv for the family and a family trip to Disney World? Who decides? I'm sure there are tons of scenarios that could come into play when a child in a family has an income.

Of course every non-fan seems to get lumped in together though. <br /><br />I think though that some that may appear jealous just feel Kate isn't deserving of what she gets for free. Some feel she was rewarded for not being a very nice person. That's just my opinion from some of the things I have read in the past.<br /><br />I think others feel that way about Jon too. Even right now it seems like he is living a nice lifestyle and people wonder how is that possible? It seems that it is undeserving to some.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-31171248924279050642010-05-20T11:52:47.253-04:002010-05-20T11:52:47.253-04:00SG,

The Duggars and their 126 kids creep me out to no end and I say good for them, get your cash and do your thing. Where are the protests for the kids being raised as "mommies" only allowed to wear dresses and watching their mom pop out a kid a year? Where is the protest for that? Isnt that situation more important that bitching about Kate Gosselin and her freebies by using the kids as an excuse? Insanity at its finest. <br /><br />They don't see that thanks to places like GWOP, they made Kate a Star and girl is milking it and providing for her kids. GOOD FOR HER.

They just want to hurt a woman they hate just because she gets things for frre, and became a Star thanks to them stirring up controversy about her.
