Reality TV and me are not friends. That said, for some reason I’ve seen an episode of Millionaire Matchmaker. Today I get this news item about how the star of Millionaire Matchmaker regrets her abortion and not having kids:
My biggest regret is I didn’t have children and I had an abortion in my 20s,” Stanger, the star of Bravo’s “Millionaire Matchmaker,” said in response to a question. “I was pregnant and I didn’t have enough money and I didn’t think it was OK to have a child and be a single parent. Now, look, everyone’s doing that.”
She said she didn’t find the right person at the time, reiterating that her biggest personal blunder was “not having kids.”
I continue to be somewhat fascinated by concepts of choice and control. How much we have or don’t have. The way I see it being childless is one thing. But being childless with an abortion in your past is another. I think many women would mourn or regret that, and we ought to be able to talk about that. If it takes a reality TV star to bring up the conversation, I’ll take it.

While speaking of her own relationship, during the latest episode of Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger, spoke about the different communication styles between her and her boyfriend. Amazingly, she raved about her favorite book, “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman!
