Raising Sextuplets
So is this the next Gosselin family? Will they suffer the same fate? I’m sure that even though there are apparent differences with this family, some have to be wondering this. If so, will that not be sort of proof that having camera’s in your face through all of your marital and parental adventures possibly isn’t the most beneficial thing? I haven’t watched every episode, but there was one with a therapist (which with that many children, I think every couple would need one!) where you could tell that the couple definitely has some difficulty communicating, differences and conflict. Are they going to be able to work that out unlike the Gosselin’s? There was one scene where they were moving stuff and she’s like “we work so well together”. If this lady isn’t in denial, I’m not sure who is? If you want to call blaming each other for everything going wrong, eye rolling and nit picking “working well together” then by all means, they are great at it!
French Woman Kills 8 Babies
This is the most disturbing post I think I’ve ever written or story I’ve ever heard about. However, while this is the largest amount of babies one mother has killed, it is not the first case of French mother’s killing their infants and disposing of their bodies in the ground or even in their garage. The women seem to be able to hide their pregnancies, deliver them on their own and shortly after, kill them. This lady in particular has two grown adult children.
MTV’s Teen Mom
Well, it’s no longer 16 and Pregnant, the show is now called “Teen Mom” and I have to admit that I’ve went back for more. Reality television is worse than the soaps and when the season ends, it definitely leaves you hanging. There are tons of new changes in these young teen lives that have occurred in between seasons and now with it being more about being a parent than just pregnant, the real fun has begun.
While I know that some people feel that shows like this somehow “promote” teen pregnancy or glorify it, I would say that anyone who watches this show would see that this is the furthest thing from the truth. While there is one teen that seems to truly love being a mother (Macy), there seems to be nothing but constant struggle and conflict in the lives of all of these teen parents. It shows it all…the financial struggles, the struggles with their own parents, the struggles within their relationships as parents, bringing other people into the equation and even examples of domestic violence.
Does Love Really Conquer All?
It appears that Sandra Bullock is fully embracing her role as mom and has used it as a way to distract attention away from her divorce. Yes, having a baby can pretty much distract you from anything. You usually don’t wake up to realize you are in fact still breathing until after they are potty trained.
It may seem like a good thing for her life publicly, however when you truly fall in love with someone like it seems she did, there is no way realistically that you can slide right past that heartbreak and go on to home base.
I also have to wonder why there’s not a bigger debate concerning these new parent’s of multicultural adoption’s and if they are really prepared for or factoring in the realistic difficulties that they and these children will inevitably face?
