In Touch has published a photo of Kate Gosselin spanking Leah and this has triggered a tattling frenzy in the blogosphere. Kate Gosselin is a supermom, I know that it is not easy to handle 8 little kids. I have only one kid but I sometimes find it difficult to manage. How much more if there were 8 of them?
Here is what In Touch says about the Kate Gosselin Spanks Leah incident:
These exclusive new photographs show that Kate’s composed demeanor may just be a facade. Behind the scenes, she seems to be unraveling. Around 11 a.m. on June 13, a witness spotted Kate, 34, and the children playing outside of their Reading, Pa., home. When Leah, one of the sextuplets, started blowing a whistle loudly, Kate told her to stop because she was on the phone. But as soon as Leah blew on the whistle again, Kate “seemed to lose her temper” and said, “Did you not hear me?” Then she stormed over to her daughter, grabbed her and hit her. “The girl was screaming and crying,” the witness adds. “Kate just pushed her away and walked off with her coffee. Her older sisters were trying to make Leah feel better.”
Here's what Kate has to say about it:
Whether the paparazzi are there or not, I am a mother first. I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation
I guess the strain of the rain of negative publicity that has piled up on her and on her husband is showing their toll on Kate. Perhaps it would be better for her to take a little break from celebrity; celebrity is not always good. But despite the images published by In Touch, Kate is still a mother, and a supermom at that!
