Comments on: Melissa Joan Hart: Mothering Is, Like, Hard And Stuff http://glosslip.com/2008/05/12/melissa-joan-hart-mothering-is-like-hard-and-stuff/ Celebrity gossip from our lips to yours Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:14:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: k http://glosslip.com/2008/05/12/melissa-joan-hart-mothering-is-like-hard-and-stuff/#comment-42979 k Mon, 12 May 2008 19:07:15 +0000 http://glosslip.com/?p=3672#comment-42979 No joke. It's appalling what some people think is a tragedy in their lives. I think some people need to get over themselves. And shut up, while they're at it. Oh wait, then we'd have nothing to write about. ;) No joke. It’s appalling what some people think is a tragedy in their lives. I think some people need to get over themselves.

Like moms in villages in Africa where they have to not only worry about finding food to feed their children, but also rebel fighters shooting them down during that very search for food. We have it so good and we just don't know it. All of Hollywood should just shut up about the travails of parenting, considering what a piss-poor job most them do!

She might miss her husband but that wasn't the crux of the original article. In fact, I take umbrage with the term "single motherhood" because she ISN'T a single mom, she's a married mom who's husband is temporarily leaving to go do his job. And yeah...it isn't like he's going off to a tour of duty in Iraq. The article is about “temporary single motherhood”. She might miss her husband but that wasn’t the crux of the original article.

From what I read, it was more about the loneliness of the situation. Not that she's going to be totally alone, but more like she'll actively miss her spouse, miss him being there to co-parent, miss that day-to-day life they normally share. Of course, what she's experiencing is nowhere near the sort of separation that military spouses endure, nor is it the type of "I'm worried about my husband/wife" thing that the spouses of police officers or firefighters experience. I get where she's coming from. Been there, done that. Still do it, in fact. All I can say is at least she's pretty damn far removed from so many other pampered and privileged celebs who have little connection to their offspring.
