Well, when I (mother of a mere 4) go to "party", it isn't playing beer pong with young men 1/2 my age. Nope, I tend to go out with my friends, or even my husband. I think there is appropriate mommy/daddy time, and then there's this. I am all for Jon having a good time, but the larger issue is what all this publicity means as far as the children's well-being. Is it in their best interest to be on the show? I think the Open Salon piece does a good job of pointing out some of the ramifications of it all. Given that he's married to Kate, I'm surprised the man isn't a raging alcoholic!
