Letter to Blythe Newsome
16 January 2009
Dear Blythe,
This week, your family will be receiving Jo's assistance. Being a single mother of six, I really have no idea how you have not gone completely mad with the stress of handling a family of seven on your own. It is hard enough for me and I have a spouse who is very helpful. I have a few words of wisdom for you, regarding the public's reaction to your family and how to deal with it after the show airs:
- Be confident in the mother that you are. You will get a lot of praise for what you do, but you will also get some very hurtful reactions from ignorant people.
- Remember that very few people have walked in your shoes....one to be exact, so take harsh words and treat them like water on a duck's back.
- Do not visit chat forums (like you have time anyway!) because there are people in the world that thrive on verbally bashing those with good intentions.
- YOU ARE A GOOD MOM. Otherwise, you and I both know that Jo would never have agreed to help you. Jo is very intuitive and has the ability to see right through people. If she thought that you honestly did not want help, she would never have come to your home.
- Make sure that your phone number and address are unlisted. TRUST ME on this one! Go online and make sure that people cannot Google map your house. Some of the general public (thank God it is a small percentage) are strange. I will leave it at that.
- I don't mean to scare you....just prepare you.
- You will get flooded with email. Enjoy the people who have nice things to say. You can make many friends who are supportive this way and it is safer than online dating....I think?!
- Keep in mind that America is seeing 43 minutes of your edited life....the dramatic part of it! People seem to forget that 43 minutes of edited footage is not really adequate to get a full picture of what your life is in its totality.
- People with a large number of kids seem to get a crud load of very personal questions regarding birth control, your perceived inability to give each child the time that they deserve and other such nonsense. Ignore it.
- Use the opportunity to encourage other mothers of large families. I have found that this was one of the most rewarding things about being on Supernanny. The ability to help other moms has been amazing and made all of the negative things worthwhile!
- Stick to the lessons that Jo taught you and be consistent. I know how hard it is...somewhat. The more you keep to the lessons learned, the easier life will be.
- Be careful of the hundreds of suitors who may try to court you after the show. I'm kidding. I'm not sure how that all works, as I am married. Maybe talk to Brian about that. He seemed to get the privilege of dealing with that!
- Encourage other parents to seek Jo's help. Her heart is really in it, unlike other people I have seen do her job. For some reason, people are afraid to go as far as calling Jo for help. We need to let them all know that no matter how crazy it may seem, it is SO worth the better quality of life you can have with your kids!
