    I'm on the fence. While I might agree with Kendra, I don't think moms should be questioning other moms' choices.

    I think MORE people should tell her to stay home and raise her kids!

      Kate may be a "working Mom" but that doesn't have to include DWTS. The kids just went through a divorce, stay home.

      Been a mom for 3 months and judging someone with 8 kids? Not to mention that her husband makes tons of money? Not fair at all.

      There is a huge age difference. And she made special arrangements to practice dancing at home where her kids are. Leave her alone!

      People love to criticize while, at the same time, resent getting scrutiny from others. Kate or Kendra? I'll vote for Kate's choices so far.

              • Is it harder for a man to stay at home with the kids than it is for a woman to stay home?

                During a public dialogue held at a New York City synagogue on Sunday night, Jon Gosselin said, "It's hard for a man to stay home for two years and change diapers and make meals and deal with doctor's appointments and all the stuff that you expect your wife to do."

                Because men just can't handle it. They assume it's "women's work" and want nothing to do with it... heck, even when you're still married!

                  A "stay at home parent" is harder than any job out there - and though it doesn't pay as well (actually not at all) - is the most rewarding.

                      No. Staying at home is just as challenging for a woman as it is for a man.

                      It should make him appreciate his wife more, not leave her.

                        It is not about him or her it is about the children and what is best for them, and the parent that cant see that isnt a parent at all!

                        It does not matter if you are a man or women, it is all the same thing. It is a tough job no matter who does it.

                        Yes. It's harder for a man to stay at home.

                        It is harder for the man because men are basicly clueless of the requirements. This is not an excuse, but still the truth.
