Kate Picnics With Kids While Jon Vacations in France With Girlfriend: Who's having more fun here?

While Kate Gosselin picnics with her children in rural Pennsylvania, her soon to be ex-husband is spotted holding hands with his 23-year-old girlfriend aboard Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier's yacht, Saturday in St. Tropez, France.

Kate Gosselin has spoken on how she wants "peace" for her children. Jon Gosselin has stated, "I'm only 32 years old. I don't know what's going to happen." He has also been quoted as "excited" about this next chapter in his life.

My mother and father divorced when I was eight. I watched as the duties of my mother doubled into being both parents. She worked full-time. Then she would rush home to make dinner for me and try and spend as much quality time she could before exhaustion set in. Without my father around during much of the week and only spending every other weekend with me, much of the parenting of me fell heavily on her shoulders. While he was away attending this party and that party and then off on hunting trips with his buddies, the presence he held as my father faded to a man whom saw me when he "could."

Many women involved in relationships with men that end with children in the picture, become the sole provider of the well being of the children. In 2005, the single parent family statistics show that of these, 84 % of the custodial parents are mothers, while fathers make up the remaining 16 % of single custodial parents. More that one in four families is headed by a single parent, with three out of four of these being single mothers.

Looking at Jon and Kate Gosselin, while she stays at home playing and nurturing her children, Jon is off gallivanting in the tropics with a new lady friend.

In relationships where children are involved, when a type of break occurs in the relationship do you feel that most times, the women are the ones that have to deal with the responsibilities of raising children more than the man? Do men come out easier from a divorce with children than the woman?

How about moving in with a suspected murderer? You up for it?

Drew Peterson, the Bolingbrook, Illinois police sergeant who has been suspected of killing his third and fourth wives, Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson, has been arrested in the case surrounding his third wife's death. Kathleen Savio was found dead in a dry bathtub just before all of the marital assets were finalized in their divorce. At first the thought was an accidental drowning. Seems a little odd she drowned in a dry tub? This was the theory and Peterson was let off until his fourth wife came up missing. I'm sure his being a police sergeant in the police department in Bolingbrook didn't have pull on letting him of the hook so easy, do you?

With the investigation into Stacy Peterson's disappearance on October 28th, 2007 renewed interest in Savio's death. Authorities then exhumed the body and her death was ruled "homicide staged to look like an accident."

All the while Drew Peterson has been suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, and the murder of his third wife, Savio, a 24 year old mother of two, Christina Raines, has been living under the same roof as a suspected "madman." In February, the two made and appearance on NBC's Today Show. When asked by Amy Robach why she is with him she responded with "I love him, he makes me laugh," and claims to have no concern for her safety.

Why in the world does a woman put her life and the lives of her children in a home with a man suspected of murdering two of the women he married and pledged to love and cherish until death do them part? Well, I guess Mr. Peterson was tired of loving these women and helped death find his mates a little quicker than letting nature take its course. Christina Raines is lucky she made it this far alive. Sometimes I think the state should take a more active role in the lives of children where the mother seems to have a death wish for herself. She knew Drew Peterson had a history of abuse. She knew he was suspected of killing his last two wives and she purposely put her life and her children's lives in the path of a oncoming truck. She should be ashamed of herself.

Why do women do this? If you can't do a healthy relationship for you, do it for the kids. Tell the truth, would you move your children into a home with a suspected murderer?
