Jon Gosselin to Pen Parenting Wisdom

None of us are perfect parents. In fact, when I hear the words “parenting expert” I inwardly cringe because, in my humble opinion, no matter how educated someone may be, parenting is one area where nobody is ever 100 percent at the top of their game. That being said, I’ll gladly glean pearls of wisdom from those more educated and experienced than I am. I’ll also ask my son’s teachers for advice when appropriate, I’ll turn to my sisters and friends who are some of the best moms I know, and I’ll (of course) call up my own mother for tried-and-true techniques when needed. But parenting advice from Jon Gosselin? No thank you.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 may have gone the way of his marriage, but Gosselin still feels he’s got some daddy wisdom to share. Apparently his Vegas exploits and younger girlfriends won’t be included. Instead, he’ll be relying on his life coach, Sylvia LaFair, to help him fill pages with his parenting insight.

Excuse me while I choke a little.

Gosselin wouldn’t be the first celebrity to write a parenting book. Fellow reality TV parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar did; even Candy Spelling and Alec Baldwin have written memoirs that include their parenting wisdom.
