At the end of the day, I'm not offended by the picture, but I also really don't have a problem with her getting negative backlash and hate mail. She chose to open herself up in a public forum, so she should be willing to accept everything that comes along with it.

Besides, the fact that she's a former beauty queen pretty much makes me think she's an attention whore, and this whole thing isn't so much to "inspire" other women as it is a "look how awesome I am, even with 3 kids!" thing.

I was going to post something similar. Whatever happened to being humble and enjoying your personal accomplishments in your own life without throwing it in other people's faces. It certainly doesn't come across as an " I did it, so can you" type image, its meant to provoke..and it did.

What would be the difference if some rich guy who grew up in a poor neighbourhood posted a pic of himself with stacks of cash and an aston martin? What's your excuse -- directed at the guy working retail driving a crappy old civic and barely scraping by but able to support his 2 kids. Motivation, or insult?
