Perhaps she was still too upset and emotional about the end of her recently-cancelled reality series Kate Plus 8<\/em>, but Kate Gosselin’s<\/strong> Monday morning interview on Today<\/em> was quite revealing.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for her, not in a good way as when she replied to her ex-husband Jon\u00a0 Gosselin<\/strong> being reportedly pleased about the end of the show.<\/p>\n

Kate Gosselin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“It’s a situation where Jon may be accepting of mediocre for his kids and working a regular job … I want the best for my kids and the best opportunities not unlike any parent.”<\/p>\n

I guess Kate Gosselin doesn’t understand that millions of Americans work\u00a0 “regular jobs” every day and there is nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n

Thank God for my “regular” mechanics at Chapel Hill Tire Care<\/strong>, my regular cashiers at Lowe’s Foods<\/strong>, my bagel bakers at Brueggers<\/strong> (say that last one 10 times straight) and dentists and doctors like Dr. Sidharth Bansal<\/strong> of Pittsboro.<\/p>\n

A special line is reserved here for “regular” police, firefighters and pastors like Anthony Baxter<\/strong> of Ridge Full Gospel Christian Church on Long Island, doing the most “regular” and BEST job of all … serving the Lord.<\/p>\n

Those so-called “regular” people have helped me in numerous ways and I am blessed to have access to them.<\/p>\n

Kate Gosselin should have just stuck to this statement, which she later said in her interview with Matt Lauer.<\/p>\n

“To be a good parent is to work as hard as you can and give them the best opportunities in life …” she added.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, a “regular” job in the real world, not the “reality” world might be what’s best for Kate Gosselin.<\/p>\n
