Is Kate a Bad Mother?

Posted by Jon_Keller
In happier times

Kate Gosselin was on cable TV tonight in an effort to keep her reality show going, even as she acknowledges the kids are starting to show "signs of stress and behavioral changes."

Q: Is she the poster woman for bad, exploitative stage-mothering?

My take: basically, yes. I watched her big interview and saw a woman absolutely entranced by the celebrity she's created, still eager to be on TV, willing to put the kids back on if her estranged husband would only allow it, seemingly oblivious to the connection between the money and fame and the damage done to her family.

Your view?
