Making It Work for the Kid

Filed under: Love Line > Sarah Jessica Parker

wenn5144150__opt1.jpg

Could Sarah Jessica Parker have known that Matthew Broderick was effing around with a twenty something whore and turned a blind eye to it???

An insider tells the British media, "They have never had a conventional marriage, but it works for the two of them. Sure they fight like other couples but they love each other and their little boy. They are so private and hate all this silly gossip."

Another source reveals that son James Wilke is the glue that holds the two actors together, "(SJP and Broderick) had been out of love for a long time but remain married for their son. Sarah and Matthew have been struggling for years. Now they have decided to make things work - especially for the sake of their son, James."

Is that a good enough reason to stay together?

Sometimes 'staying together for the kid' makes the kid miserable cuz mommy and daddy are miserable.

Can't he find a new beard???

    All "staying together for the sake of the children" does is teaches your kids that it's ok to settle, no matter how bad it is.

    You obviously know nothing about children or parenting. Children ALWAYS come out better adjusted when they're raised with parents who stay married. Even if the parents constantly argue, bicker, and insult each other, it's less damaging to children than a divorce. It's not opinion or guesswork. It's 100% fact. A lot of people say and believe otherwise, but facts just don't support it.

    The way they decide to handle their marriage is their business..nobody elses. If they choose to stay together for their son, so be it, but it may not be a good idea b/c kids can sense when mom and dad are miserable.

  23. 23

    Odd couple. But really, until I see proof of a falling out, I'm not really going to think about it. Lol, I'm probably not going to anyway.

    No matter what you make everything look bad…if something is good you make it look bad..if someone has a good relationship somehow you make it turn bad..you need to get a life so you stop picking on others. Being such a negative person is not a good thing.

    Staying together for the kids does not guarantee that you will be miserable.

    can you blame the dude, what guy would want to fuck that old ugly horsie looking filly with her big ugly nose on a regular basis? no thank you. She is a dog, never was cute, dont understand what fool put her ugly face in front of a camera and how in the hell thought she was good looking is beyond me. MB got it on with a good looking 20 something year old…..cant blame him after being married to and having to endure relations with my little pony parker/Mrs. Ed all those years..

    Awful to stay together for the kid's sake. Kids pick up on the discord. And don't be naive, lotsa famous people (especially in the sports world) stay together even if unhappy. The men don't wanna be taken to the cleaners and the women don't wanna give up that lifestyle:( I know.

    No man should ever get married; there is no point to it. Have kids if you want, but do not delude yourself into thinking that the love/lust/infatuation that you feel at the beginning of a relationship will last. It is particularly strange when people try marriage for the 2nd-3rd-4th times! I hope MB and SJP, if they do break up, do not attempt marriage again.

    He is gay. There is no way he is cheating on her with a female. Notice the press have basically left this alone in the states??!! Because he does dudes!!

    Good for them for staying together. Most people have unrealistic expectations of long term marriage. I know many long term married couples who have had an indiscretion or two, as long marriages do grow stale and lonely married people look for an answer outside the marriage. These people ride it out and realize that an outsider usually isn't an answer either. Altering your Disney expectations of what marriage is, which is a deep and abiding, caring friendship, is an inevitable conclusion. Couples have to decide what works for them and what doesn't.

    I grew up with both my parents…. seperately… and it made things much easier for me.. but then again, my parents hated each other… But it doesn't seem neccesary (expecially in this day and age) for a child to have two parents… One is better than nothing.. and both seperately is even better… They should split if they arent happy, not stay together becuase of the child..

  44. Sandi says – reply to this

    Not that I give a hoot about these people but, sometimes, if you are civil to each other, staying together for the kids works. My parents never broke up - even thru the rough years, they stuck it out. In the end, they spent the last 30 years of their married life happy and content with each other. Would they have had that with someone else? Maybe. Maybe not. People give up too easily these days. Any excuse will do. The hard part is staying together and working it out. That's what takes the real guts.

    It is noble to make it work for a kid ,the children, BUT IT CANNOT WORK for the kids.
    When he cheats, the only thing can make it right is for her to cheat. Even Stevens.
    Start fresh.

    SJP approached a female friend of mine a couple of years ago during the SATC wrap-up party. She invited her to lunch and told her that she and Matthew occasionally enjoy the company of young attractive ladies in a very private setting. My friend politely declined.

    Apparently, that was SJP's modus operandi for quite some time, and lots of people here in NYC are well aware of it.

    Eagles Fan 34 - That's particularly cruel. Having a bad day? She acted with intelligence on after school specials for years, and is a person of substance and character. She's good looking enough, and seems a well rounded, measured and sensible person with a brain. I hope you marry a tanned Barbie who does coke in your bathroom, garners DUI's in serial car crashes, prioritizes nail appointments and plastic surgeries, sleeps with your best friends behind your back and takes you for everything you've got. That's when you'll realize what's valuable in a person and what necessarily isn't. Oh, am a big Eagles fan myself. :)

    Yeah, good idea guys. Stay together for the sake of the kid, like my mom did to my dad. My entire life she'd call my dad a piece of shit behind his back and then be all sunshine to his face. She'd tell me he abused and cheated on her, and the only reason she was staying with him was so me and my sister could have a "good life." Yeah, great life being totally abused by dad because you wouldn't divorce him, not to mention the crushing guilt I was carrying around with me at all times as a young kid. Not to mention I pretty much look at all women as gold-digging whores who will lie right to your face for a lifetime.

    So get divorced if you're not happy you fucking idiots.

    They need to do whatever makes them both happy, and whatever they feel is best for their child. If they are unhappy, do they really want their son to have a loveless marriage as an example what a relationship is?

    Hhhmmm. Staying together for the children….

    If bother remain "not involved" with others - that may work. But once resentment (from an affair) comes in the relationship — the interaction between the adults is often not good AND this can provide a bad foundation for a child. Not seeing 2 caring, loving parents that are solely inclusive.

    Sometimes it is just better for the children to see normal parents that are happy and divorced.

    Good luck!

    What about Tilda Swinton?

    She and her husband both have relationships on the side, and they're both fine with it. Perhaps SJP is fine with Matthew seeing other girls. I mean, not everybody wants to be exclusively monogamous.

    That's boring.

    As long as they aren't constantly fighting and showing the child that they're having problems, it is better for them to stay together. Most of the time children don't even know their parents are having problems because it's not something they have to (or ever should have) focus on.

  69. 69

    Can't he find a new beard? Perez, that's a score! Glad you included that line ;)

    MB is gay and all the Broadway cronies know it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but live your life as a gay man and stop hiding behind SJP and the kid!

    Jim B. I have to disagree with you. It was the best thing all around when my parents finally divorced. They stayed married until we were teenagers and all they did was pay for more years in therapy for both my sister and I. Their dysfunctional relationship taught me nothing about how to have a healthy relationship now. Staying in a horrible marriage for the sake of the kids is not a good reason to stay married.

    just because your divorced does not mean your child cant get the best of both their parents…. my parents have stayed together because of me and my sis and it had jus made me and my sister bitter and resentful towards them… they should split..!!! its better that way besides sARAH IS SUPER FIERCE MATTHEW IS A DORK SHE COULD DO BETTER.
