After hearing about Kate Hudson’s recent Father’s Day brunch — with her son, her son’s father, new beau Lance Armstrong, and his three kids (say what??) — I was wracking my brain to write a somewhat coherent post.
That’s when MomLogic emailed to ask for my take on “Kate Hudson: Boys, Meet My Son.”
There’s nothing like a little fire under your tush to get you thinking. Please get the full lowdown about Kate and her men
here.
In short, do you think it’s a big deal that Kate Hudson has introduced her boyfriends to her son, Ryder? (In case you forgot, the dudes are Dax Shephard, Owen Wilson, and most recently, Lance Armstrong.)
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not advocating that single moms introduce a string of boyfriends to their kids. Or even just one little boyfriend. Instead, I think there’s a double standard that single moms face:
“This is what irks me: We criticize celebrity single moms like Kate Hudson for dating again, and finding love, but how about the celebrity single dads?” “Who’s keeping them in check?” Go ahead and chime in at MomLogic now. For example, do you agree with this commenter?
“What is she supposed to do? Sit home and twirl her thumbs? She’s a beautiful and successful woman who clearly doesn’t need a man. And her son’s father is in the picture, so I’m not sure why this is a relevant issue in the first place.” I agree.
