"I'm Not Used To Having Options"


I told myself I was going to take a break on the Jon Gosselin thing for a few days. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but I just had to say a couple of things that were on my mind. Does this Hailey Glassman person have a job? It doesn't look like she does, so I am wondering how she is paying for the rent on her new apartment in New York which is just two blocks from Jon's place. Are her parents paying it or is Jon footing the bill? If he is dumping another $60K in rent money down the drain for her, than I can guarantee he isn't going to have anything left for the kids.

What burned me up the most though was in this interview Hailey gave to People, she said this of a conversation she had with Jon.

"I'm a huge believer in not controlling someone," says Glassman. "I'll give my opinion but tell him to do what he wants to do. He said, 'I'm just not used to having an option.' I told him life is about options."

Yes, I agree, life is about options. BUT, he had his options extremely limited by the choice he mad to have sextuplets after he already had twins. At that point your options in life are going to necessarily be limited. He got very lucky by having a television show and not having to take his lazy ass to a job everyday. But that television show is going to end at some point and the money will stop rolling in as fast, if it keeps rolling in at all. This money being dumped on ridiculous amounts of rent is an option. A better option would have been to spend much less money on rent and save it for the kids. Life is about options, Jon just keeps picking the wrong ones and it is his 8 kids that are going to suffer.
