Tuesday Debate-Money and Children. . . AGAIN?!

Okay, I know I've been on a rant lately. First-Octomom (HHuuuuwweeeehhhhhh- Yes, that's me retching, again. I can't say her name without the reflex of throwing up.) Then last week it was Debbie Rowe, cutting another deal to stay out of her biological children's lives. 

But this one just had me cracking up. Kate Gosselein was interviewing this morning with Meredith Viera on the TODAY show. She was talking about how her brother, with whom she was so close, was telling his side of the story and using her children to make money. "And believe me," she said,"It's a business. He's making a lot of money."

Uhhhhh. . . and you, Ms. Gosselein, are doing what? 

So the topic of today is:

 Do you think the eight Gosselein Children are being exploited and if so, what do you think the punishment should be? 

I await your creative responses!

Tuesday Debate-Selling Children?

Last Tuesday I posted about Octomom. Yes, I am still wretching over it.  Just when I thought it was safe, we hear about Debbie Rowe and the Jackson children.  

What does it mean when a woman has children, gives their father complete legal custody for a particular sum of money, all the while agreeing to never be in contact with those children again? I'm not her, so I can't speak for what her thought process or experience was. Who knows, she could have gotten shafted in the whole deal- promised one thing and delivered another. 

But then, the father dies and she comes back and gets the SAME DEAL ALL OVER AGAIN. 

What is the deal with money for children these days??????

How is this legal? Isn't it the same thing as selling the kids?

What do you think? Is it just me?

Tuesday Debate- This Just P#!@%s Me OFF!

Okay, this just flat out pisses me off. Seriously, it makes me want to vomit.

Octomom just inked a Reality TV Deal. Somebody tell me she wasn't in it for the money. And I've got a bridge, or two, or eight, to sell you. Honestly. I could be wrong, but it certainly seems as if all of these kids were conceived and birthed for the sole purpose of satisfying this chick's need for attention and fame.  

Excuse me while I hang my head in the porcelain bowl. I'm thinking right now that Family Services should consider stepping in. Got an opinion? Let's chat.

Yours,
