Dr. Laura and The Bachelor

I haven't watched the T.V. show, The Bachelor since way back many years ago with Trista and Ryan. That was an amazing romance and every girl's fairy tale. I've always been happy to see the occasional blurb about them on the news stands. They are still together and dreams DO come true, fairy tale romances CAN last. Sometimes?

A couple of weeks ago while surfing channels one monday night, I landed on the current Bachelor show with Jason. I got a brief introduction and decided to watch the season finale last night. What a complete dissapointment. I'm still feeling "disgusted" by Jason this morning.

If I was Molly, I wouldn't trust Jason with a 10 foot pole. I wonder what affect all this "women chasing" will have on Jason's little son?

I wonder if Dr. Laura was watching last night (though I can't imagine her spending time that way). She suggests divorced people wait until their children are grown and out of the house before dating again. Bringing other adults into and out of children's lives through the whole dating process only compounds their stress and loss. Adults change their minds, but often only after attachments with children are already made. Did you see how important it was for Jason's women to "connect" with his son?

NOT dating after divorce would be tough, but after watching Jason play musical chairs last night with his women, I think Dr. Laura makes a valid point. I hope I don't run into her alone in an elevator sometime - she'd probably scold me about a thing or two in my own life! But then again, maybe that would be a good thing.
