Oh come on! There's a difference between people working away from home or fathers going overseas with the armed forces etc and those who choose to leave their kids and go on Big Brother.
Let's not pretend that every single person who goes on Big Brother doesn't want a slice of fame. Of course they do. And let's not pretend that they want it to give their kids a better life - of course they don't. They want a bit of fame for themselves.
They are putting their own 5 mins of fame before spending quality time with their children.
And I agree with the sentiment that some kids are better off without their parents in their lives - but that is not what I'm getting at.
Sorry, I don't care if I sound judgemental. And I'll bet there are those who agree with me and just don't want to say for fear of being labelled 'judgemental' too.
Lastly, yes I do have a child of my own. And to the person who asked if I spend every waking moment with her - no of course I don't. I work, she goes to nursery, sometimes she stays with friends/grandparents etc. That is NOT the same as me leaving her for potentially 10 weeks to find 'fame' on a TV show.
