“I think that people think that I’m like mommy dearest” - Kate Gosselin

I’m guessing the crew over at TLC got a good couple laughs while editing the last episode of Kate Plus 8. Can you imagine having that job? Having to spend hours in the home of someone who is completely obsessed with fame, even though her only real talent seems to be housing babies in her lady parts? Let’s be honest. She doesn’t exactly seem like the happiest person. Don’t you get the feeling that if you were in her house and didn’t use a drink coaster she’d slash your tires or push you down a flight of stairs?

The problem with narcissists is they are completely unaware of themselves. They live in a parallel universe. So in her mind she is June Cleaver running a child rearing empire while the rest of us think she is a miserable woman with hair extensions and French tips. From Psychology Today's September feature article on "How to Spot a Narcissist": "A cross section of the narcissist's ego will reveal high levels of self-esteem, grandiosity, self-focus, and self-importance. They think they are more physically attractive and intelligent than just about everyone, and would rather be admired than liked. They are enraged when told they aren't beautiful or brilliant but aren't affected much if told they are jerks."

She doesn’t care that people find her to be an abhorrent mother. She doesn’t seem the slightest bit concerned that her kids have had virtually spent their entire childhood without privacy and that their relationship with their mother takes a back seat to her interest in a career in the entertainment industry. But she does care of she is skinny and if her spray tan is even.

Listen, I know she is starting to panic, you can see it in her eyes. But I am not quite sure she has wrapped her brain around the idea that perhaps there will not be much media activity going forward. She might want to spend some time figuring out why her kids are scared of her and none of the networks are interested in working with her.

Perhaps this quiz I put together might be helpful?

1. You can’t leave home in the morning without:

A. Making sure your kids have eaten some breakfast.
B. Applying your false eyelashes.

2. Your hope for your children is that they:

A. Graduate from high school.
B. At least one becomes the next Disney star. (So you can become their manager and sit on set all day as opposed to your home in Pennsylvania where you actually have to speak with your other children).

3. An ideal Saturday morning would be spent:

A. Watching your kids play soccer.
B. Making out with your “security guard” in the basement before the kids come home with the nanny.
