Jon Gosslin Engaged? Let’s read him the Riot Act!

I certainly hope that Jon Gosslin is not engaged to his 22 year old mistress!  Jon, I have been on your side for a long time, but if you are doing something stupid, I could switch side quickly.  

 It is rumored that Jon Gosslin presented his 22 year old girlfriend with an engagement ring (skull and crossbones with four black diamonds-how Junior High- with a huge price tag of $180,000) which he could have gotten the cheaper version from the gumball machine at the pizza parlor. 

 Jon continues to state that he is concerned for his children.  If this is so, then why create so much more muck  for your children deal with by acting like an 8^th grader who just discovering his hormones.  The ink is barely dry on the papers filed for divorce and Jon is thinking about getting married again.  How do you think the kids will swallow the news that dad not only cheated on mom, but he is going to make the mistress the step mother soon.  Do you think the public is ready for Jon and Kate Plus Nine?  My harse words towards Kate are beginning to soften.  Can you really be this immature Jon?

 The tabloids have replaced the headlines with the Michael Jackson saga.  Thank goodness.  Jon and Kate need to go into hiding for a while and pull themselves together, stop spouting empty, meaningless professions of their commitment to their kids and start acting like parents.

 Jon, I know you are really ticked at Kate, but the grass always needs to be mowed.  Do you think the grass on the other side of the fence doesn’t need to be tended?  It is easy to be in love when you don’t need to pay the bills, take care of the kids and still find time for your partner.  

 You and Kate could work this out.  The spine you’ve apparently grown over the last couple of months was the spine Kate was looking for during your marriage. (less the spiteful jerk you’ve become.)  She wanted you to be a man and take an active role in caring for your children.  If you think your girlfriend is going to step up and take care of your eight children while you sit on the sidelines, think again.  She might do it for a while…until she ropes you in…and then she is going to tire of it quickly.  

 You can’t become single again Jon.  You have eight children to support and who need your love and attention. We all want to leave our responsibilities behind at sometime or another.  Dream on!  It just doesn’t happen.  You made choices and you have to be a father to the children you have produced.  

 Here is a novel thought.  Your 22 year old girlfriend is going to want children.  Have you thought about that Jon?  In a few years you will add a few more children to this brewed.  So, instead of eight children, you will have nine or ten.  No responsibility there!

 As a relationship coach, I wish I could have one hour with the Gosslins.  I would like to shake some sense into both of them.  Marriage should not be so easily discarded, especially when there are eight children impacted.
