The guy definitely has his faults- very very public faults. I really appreciate anyone who can look at themselves in an honest way and own up to the bad as well as the good…. this interview below isn’t anything in depth but it gives a little insight into how Mark thinks and views his role in his kids lives:
You’re planning a wedding?
Yes, in August?Why now?
We’re adamant about keeping our family together and have spent a lot of time working on our relationship. But that doesn’t guarantee 110-percent success. All we can do is put in the work.Has fatherhood changed you?
In every way possible. And only for the better.Are you a hands-on parent to [your children]?
Yes, being financially secure gives me the opportunity to be around 24/7 and monitor everything that they do. I’m not going to leave it up to chance that they’ll figure things out.Do you worry about them growing up too privileged?
It is hard, but my main goal in life is to make sure they are raised the right way.Has the new baby compromised your sleep schedules?
I’m getting a little bit more sleep than Mommy is. She’s taking care of the newborn because I’m terrified of babies until they’re like 6 months old.Why is that?
They’re so fragile looking.So how do you help out?
I keep the other kids busy.Any plans to add to the family?
I’m the youngest of nine kids, so I’ll have as many as Rhea can handle.Without your past troubles, would you be where you are today?
Probably not. It was a crazy path and I wish I’d never taken it, but I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I forgot where I came from. Very few people get a second chance, and I feel very fortunate.
