Mck Daddy
So what do you guys think about adding her husband? I think it is very cool! So happy for them. What is so different about them, is that they are choosing to climb there mountain and deal with stuff head on. Unfortunately for so many couples they do not. They should be applauded for that. I am excited to start reading what her husband says. I hope and pray that as they write they will reach thousands. That some word will capture the heart of even just ONE, to step up and deal with stuff and not be like so many americans and sweep there issues under the carpet.

So do you think their primary motivation for the MckDaddy posts is helping other people to save their marriages? I hope so, but at the same time I am so very pleased that my husband would be able to teach MckDaddy more about being a good husband and father, than he could ever learn from MckDaddy.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that earning revenue might be a major factor also. Why else would they do the whole 'click here to go back to a post that we sneakily dated the year 2000?' Why not just have it as the most current post? If she is so very proud of her Mckdaddy, why not have that as the first post that people see when they visit her blog today?
She showed more honesty today than she has in a while, but yet still, there are these little irregularities. I still don't think this is the real MckMama.
HI tracee~
ReplyDeleteI understand your point about your husband being able to teach MckDaddy a thing or two. I think though if we took everyone put them in a room, in all honesty we could learn from each other in some way?
And if this is how they will start digging themselves out of the financial mess, then kudos to them. GO for it. I say to anyone in a financial mess, do whatever you need to do to get out. Work 2 jobs, start a blog, whatever.
I think she was more honest today. I think she has a lot of guts. Have you flipped the table and put yourself in her shoes. I know we say we would be so much more differently, but I really beg to differ, because unless you have walked those shoes then you really just don't know.
There have been times in my life when I said I would never do "x", but when it came down to the wire, certain factors changed my mind. Does that make me bad or not truthful? I dont think so. Again I think we snippets of her life through her blog. There is no way to know the WHOLE story unless you are related or best friends or talk to her on a regular basis. Just a thought.
I am sure that we could all learn something from each other - but marriage advice is just not something I would take from them.
ReplyDeleteAs for the finances - have they said which charity this money will be going to? Because the thing with the blog income is this - most people (me included) probably don't care that they earn money from their blog business. It's their business - good on them! And if this is how they are getting themselves out of their financial mess, then I agree, kudos to them.
But here is the thing. Own it.
Don't say you are giving most of it to charity, if in fact a goodly hunk is going to provide for your family. OWN IT.
As to the saying one thing but then doing another - of course that doesn't necessarily make you bad or dishonest (depending of course on what it is).
On the other hand, saying one thing, doing another, and then blogging something different again - well that is a different story.
There's no way I would take advice from her/them.
ReplyDeleteAdvice on marriage I'll take from people that aren't fresh off of domestic abuse charges.
Financial advice I'll take from someone who hasn't lost a house, almost lost another house, had a car repossessed, and doesn't have (my opinion) sustainable income.
Advice on raising children?
I have no idea how she does raise them. We see very little of it on her blog. Glimpses, and claims of doing things. But also talking about losing them multiple times in an outing (though not for long).
Just too weird to think of people actually following advice or "wisdom" from them. Nothing at all against them. Just a strange sort to be following, like John & Kate almost.
