Jon and Kate Plus 8 Divorce Rumors – Any Truth? Jon Gosselin Issues Statement

March 6th, 2009 by Wendy

Tagged as: Jon and Kate Plus 8, Reality TV, TLC

Earlier this week, we reported the rumor that Jon Gosselin is cheating on wife, Kate. Now comes the inevitable Jon and Kate Plus 8 divorce rumors. Do you believe the gossip?

InTouchWeekly.com is reporting that Jon Gosselin has been partying with college girls… add in Kate Gosselin’s nagging shown on the TLC series… and you’ve got easy fodder for divorce rumors.

InTouchWeekly reports that Jon Gosselin was at a martini bar in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania on February 6, then went to a house party, where an eyewitness commented, “He walked in with two girls he met at Mimi’s bar. It was so cool.”

So, where’s the Jon and Kate Plus 8 divorce rumor fit into this?

Apparently, he got drunk, flirted with girls and was overheard saying, “We might be getting a divorce.”

Jon Gosselin is setting the record straight, releasing a statement that reads

“It is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumors and lies about us. It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would. This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture -— such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context. As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am a part of a loving family and couple.”

Hope the rumor is not true.. The ones who will be greatly affected would be the kids.. We wouldn’t want that to happen, would we? Let’s give Jon the benefit of the doubt.. I hope and pray that the couple will stay strong despite these rumors..

Despite the fact that Jon has a witch for a wife, he still should not compromise his values and cheat. Set that witchy wife straight one time, and she’ll shut her trap and leave you alone.

Frankly, it would be great because this couple is awful to watch on television. Let Jon get custody and Kate gets weekend visits. She is a truly horrible woman who is developing bad karma for herself and her family. If a kind word came out of Kate’s mouth to someone outside of her family, the world would come to a stop.
Her kids will be better off if the parents do get a divorce. They have sold their kids and the couple’s karma is going to catch up with them.

It is so funny to me to see all of these women bashing Kate. I have read comment after comment about how horrible it is to watch the show so I thought I would educate a few people. There is this thing called a remote, you push these buttons and you will never believe what happens, it actually turns the channel!!! I know it’s so amazing. If you don’t like it, turn it.

Hey Delvia Logan, how much time have you actually spent with the Gosselins? How can you say such horrible things about people? If you think they are so awful to watch then why have you been watching?

I really think Kate is probably normal for the msot part and probably apologizes and I’m sure he’s no angel. They are on tv and it gets edited and won’t show it all. They have 8 kids! How bitchy do you think you would be?! Hopefully these are just rumors. I had more faith in him to not stoop that low.

I think that its optional to watch their tv series first of all but I do agree that Kate is way too anal retentive with her kids about cleanliness. The two older girls are developing especially bratty behaviors that make me think my 7 year old is an angel even on her worst day! I don’t think what Jon did was a big deal, he was just out having fun people need to remember that Jon and Kate are VERY young and they started having kids at 23 so they probably just want to get out now and then. I’ll admit I watch the show but I don’t find it that interesting anymore. It has lost its appeal for me because they have made hoards of money off of it and aren’t shy about spending the money. Big deal that they had 6 kids at once. She intentionally implanted herself with way too many embryos to begin with and had 6 at once. Does she deserve an emmy for that? It’s not like they were infertile and opted to adopt 6 children some with special needs and give them a home. That would have been really impressive and commendable! But they chose to just reproduce themselves 6 more times! I think Kate is irresponsible for implanting herself with so many embryos. I was infertile too and only implanted myself with two at once. Only one took and I am the proud mother of that child today. I know what I can handle and Kate should have thought of the consequences of her actions.

They in my opinion do a great job. Of course Kate gets frustrated what parent doesn’t? She does a great job to have 8 kids. Everyone talks about how they spend there money and don’t feel bad about it, so what? I am pretty sure that that’s what most people would do. They have a large family if they have the money to get a big enough house then good for them. It’s not like she has hired a maid or a bunch of nannys to take care of EVERYTHING. Kate is responsible. She takes care of her children and she loves her family. People always are talking about how awful of a person she is. She is obviously not awful enough to sit at her computer everyday and talk about other people. So maybe a lot of you should really be thinking of what is inside your own hearts and maybe how irresponsible you can sometimes be. I know I can be at times. I’m human.
On March 10th 2009, Nickie wrote:

Oh yeah, she would be irresponsible if she implanted her self with two many embryos and couldn’t take care of them. Have six children at once and loving them and taking care of them most of the time better than some people take care of one child. You tell me what is irresponsible about that?
On March 10th 2009, Jen wrote:

Eva, Kate did not implant herself with 6 embryos..there was actually no implanting at all. she was taking a hormone to release eggs because the complication she had was being unable to release her eggs. The doctor told her there were 3 eggs that had been released and then injected sperm. At the ultrasound they actually found 7 embryos, not 6, however one did not fully develop. Now you could say, why do the procedure knowing there’s a possibility of 3 babies, but you can’t say anything about 6 because they were told they had 3 viable eggs. Doctors make many mistakes.

If people did real research on the family’s life, then it is easy to see that the kids were born to have jobs from their birth. If Jon and Kate do divorce, there is a grandma separate house that Kate could live in. As long as the kids don’t stay with Mom overnight, all will be well in the world.

I don’t trust a lot of the bad information that is out there for the family, but the kids are a registered company and not a family. As for the reason that I watch this show. It is so I can see a giant train wreck coming to a head. Don’t people on an interstate slow down to see the gore of a serious car accident? Jon and Kate and the kids are previews of a bad, bad relationship people accident. So, people do your research and see how sad this family truly is.

The new show of three sets of multiples will at least have some grounded parents who have reasonable rules and expectations of their kids. Maybe Jon and Kate’s show will be less popular and then the program will be no more on TLC.

I think these kids belong to 2 grown married people and they can all do whatever they want to. It is their life to live as they please just like each of you are free to do the same. All you haters are just jealous, you probably resent anybody who has more than you. Who cares how they made the money to buy the house, what business is it of yours if Jon has an affair…your husband most likely has also. If you don’t like them CHANGE STATIONS!!!!

I feel it is very sad that you watch this show and it seems you’re wanting this family to fail! Shame on you!!! As for your comment about people slowing down to see the gore, you seem to be implying that its a thrill if thats the case you are one very sick individual. I guess you can call me old fashioned but I dont usually get satisfaction off of others misfortunes.

Why do people act holier than thou when someone else has something they don’t have?

Their children do not “work” for anything. They are filmed as is, warts and all. Unfortunately the show will most likely end when the kids go to school.

I would love to see how many people could run a house and raise eight kids and NOT be snippy! She’s a self described Type A person, and being one myself, I can undestand her frustrations and I only have two kids! She KNOWS she’s a germaphobe and that she likes things done a certain way. Jon is a great father and all, but could you imagine what their lives would be like if they were both as laid back as him? Chaos!

If you have seen any video of them when they were first married, Kate seemed much more carefree and happy. I don’t think she is unhappy, she just has a lot to do with her kids.

Anyway, leave them alone! They earn their paycheck as a family! So what! It provides well for them and they aren’t worse for wear because of it! Their kids are better behaved than most kids out there. Who cares how they get their money and how they spend it! It doesn’t have diddly squat to do with anyone else’s lives! Let them do what they want with what they have!

IF YOU HATE IT THEN DONT WATCH IT. im 16 and have a beautiful daughter. i look up to kate i watch that show everyday they cant take it off TLC. you guys talk about kate like shes a bad mom and dont hate her cuz she has money and could handle her kids shes like a hero to me and i hope those rumors werent true they look happy to me and so do her kids and thats all that matters

Wendy, thats good that she’s like a hero to you;; too bad you didnt have anyone to look up to before you had a child at 16 years old. Sure mistakes happen, but you’re probably one of those Maury Povich teens, that want a kid, just because they think its “cool”. What are you going to do when they take it off air? lol

Why is everyone so shocked at what Jon did? Being tied down to a controlling wife, having 8 kids and all their noise, plus the TV crew always underfoot – who wouldn’t want to go out by himself and relax in the bar scene? He is only 31 years old; too young to have this much responsibility. Since Kate always depends on Jon to “help” her with all these kids, I doubt very much she could handle the role of being a Single Parent of 8. Afterall, if Jon leaves, who will she have to “control”!!!! Jon would also be entitled to half of their income which would knock Kate back into the world of having to make ends meet like the rest of normal folks do. It would not surprise me at all if Jon has had enough and has left.

I also noticed that earlier this week when the gosselins appeared on Oprah from their home that Jon looked extremely uncomfortable. He did not really no where to look. Did anybody else notice this? And by the way i thoughtJons mother was dead, since she was not at the second wedding in Hawaii.

Eight kids, folks. EIGHT KIDS. I work with children every day and I see parents with one child…and they are the biggest demons, most maladjusted children ever. The youngest Gosselins are the same age, of course there’s going to be fighting, bratty behavior, and tears. It’s part and parcel of growing up and being a family. Cara and Mady have the usual insecurities that older children have around their younger siblings…multiply that by six,. See how YOU deal with that at age eight.

Delvia are you serious? What kind of person watches a family just to see them fail? That really is disgusting. Honey, you are one sick puppy. It’s karma like THAT that will have you very unhappy down the line.

Wendy, please ignore the idiot below you. Do the best to do right by your child and yourself and you will be alright.

I hope the rumors are false. They are doing the best they can, with all their faults on air for everyone to see and judge. I’m pretty sure they’re not the only couple with issues…they just happen to be the ones we CAN see.

I for one, would be really truly upset if they got a divorce. yes, kate does yell at Jon a lot, but shes probably sitting on the interview set with a list of 1 million things running through her head that has to be done. shes a little stressed, in other words. besides, look at those kids, they may bicker a lot, but who doesnt? besides, the kids have no space to themselves, EVERYTHING is shared. the poor children would be absolutely devastated if their parents divorce, anyone would be, but at their age its so HARD to comprehend. I think that everyone needs to lay off them, and let them figure things out, before we judge them, we have absolutely no idea what goes. they only film for about 3 days a week, we’ve got no idea otherwise.

I used to love this show and watched all the time, even reruns. In the last season, however, I noticed a change in Kate’s behavior, and it’s more pronounced in this season. She is very self-focused, and actually gets angry if her husband takes time away from her in the interview chair. I was appalled at the way she behaved in the first puppy episode. No mother who is a good mother talks to their kids the way she did to hers. Sorry folks who love Kate. She chose to have 8 children. If she gets “out of her mind” with frustration, fatigue, etc., she should see therapy.
I have emailed the two of them at their website, suggesting they get counseling. It would really help their children, if nothing else………

I see the way Jon looks at Kate and his children and know without a doubt Jon loves what he sees. Remember ,they are not only letting us watch their children grow, they are trying to live.
I’ve watched them from their first documentary..let Jon be a normal person and deal with fans with sincere and somewhat an innocent reaction.

I can’t believe there are so many psychologist on the panel. So many people who can see right through others and determine someones intentions and thoughts. Leave the family alone for goodness sakes. I think I have watched them enough to know that they want care at all about that email to seek counseling. I think they’re smart enough to get if THEY think they need it. You don’t even know them. I just don’t see what a lot of you people see. I just see a family, a family that loves each other. That family just like anyone of you has times when each of them get frustrated, tired, or cranky. If you sit there and have kids and are married and tell me that you never get frustrated with your kids or your husband then you are one of a kind. Sometimes I will get frustrated with my daughter, I only have one, she’s doing everything in the world she’s not supposed to be doing and then my husband is not paying attention to the fact that I need help. He is a great father but it happens, it’s life. Tell me no one else ever goes through that.

All of you people are wrong if you’re saying that they only earn their money from their T.V show. Before Kate had 8 kids, she used to work as a nurse and even after she had the 8 kids she was still working part time, but then she eventually had to quit because it was too much to handle. Jon works too you know. He is an I.T annilist and has to wake up at like 6 in the morning and then comes home at around 6 in the evening. So they are trying to be a regular family and earn their own money for a living. So you people should think before you talk bad about Jon and Kate.

For all the people (Nicki) that keep telling folks that if they don’t like Kate and the show, then stop watching — WE HAVE!

You must know, the reason people are so irked is because we were so duped!!!!
I USED to watch the show a long time ago. In fact, my whole family watched.
It seemed charming, wholesome, and fun. The kids were adorable and they really didn’t show too much of the mom, Kate.
But you see, what happened it – it went from 4th of july picnics to the local amusment park — normal things — to more and more staged things – like trips to the crayola factory or back stage at the zoo (where us mere mortals with onle triplets and twins do NOT get to go) — then it was special treatment at the American Girl store in NYC, then BOX SEAT at a Phillies game.
Things started getting a little less “reality and documentary” and more Fake and Staged and Orchestrated — in other words — Less Normal.
Suddenly — instead of trips TO the zoo — now the kids ARE the zoo — caged little monkeys taken on elaborate trips to utah to ski (there is fabulous sking already less than an hour where they currently live btw), hawaii for a staged wedding ceremony where the bride and groom have to pry open their lips to “recommit” to the horror of a nightmare their marriage has turned out to be.

And, aside from the growing exploitation of their children – now we have the added factor that no matter what happens — what free hair transplant jon gets, teeth whitening or orthodonic treatment she or the kids get, free tummy tuck surgery, etc….she still has to complain and complain and complain and it grows louder, and more shrew-like and shriekier and finally — my husband and I say “this is not good family fare” and not a good example for our kids and now…finally….you guessed it…..we NO LONGER WATCH.
but boy are we going to complain about it — so this is advance warning to anyone who ever wants to go on TV.
People WILL talk about you. If you don’t like – - don’t go on TV.
It’s just deeply saddens us that we started out watching a pleasant show and the more they put that awful woman on there, the more you realize what a hellish situation her husband and children are in. It’s not like they showed it all at once my dear. So, that is why people are now expressing their thoughts — at the same time – - they are doing precisely as you say — and TURNING THE CHANNEL!! Hopefully, someone responsible will give those kids their privacy.
If we don’t watch — then someone with some love and common decency will finally pull the plug.
But certainly not their money-grubbing publicists, TLC and the parents.

Roxyilicious – you are about three years behind.
Jon quit his job ages ago – as did Kate.

In fact, she is RARELY home with her husband and children. She is gone nearly every week and weekend – going to women’s shows and shilling her new book.
She also goes to churches and charges money to talk about her book, then sets up a barnes and noble book store outside the church to sell her book, then charges people for a picture of her.

You can check her schedule on their website.
She is always away on these trips and very RARELY home with her children.
It is a very, very sad sitation.
She says she does it for the children.
But what parent would travel every week and even on the weekends AWAY from their eight children if they had a choice to do somethng else close to home.
She said at the beginning she quite her job to be home — now she is away all the time.
If she needs to work – and LOVES her children enough to be with them – don’t you think she would choose something to do closer to home so she could be at home?
Think about it.

(we used to be fans of the show and i didn’t realize all this until someone told me and i had to see for myself. it’s all out there – available on the internet. if you put yourself on TV — there are no secrets anymore. we live in the age of information and the internet. Kate Gosselin is RARELY HOME with her own children — this is a FACT).

If that’s not child pimping, then please define it for me. These kids were born with a job and it’s their job to provide the income for the parents, because they are too lazy to work. Jon has not had a steady job in quite sometime. I guess you could say he’s a house husband.

another thing is she says things about her children negatively on air. doesn’t she realize they can hear.

Why is everyone jumping on their case, they are human beings. We all do things we are not proud, so let them deal with things in private and be supportive of their choices. The show is great I have watch it from day one and will contiune to watch it. PLEASE EVERYONE THEY ARE ONLY HUMAN. The only thing that sould matter is the happiness of the children, lets not forget about them. The fact that they are earning money from the show is their business, if you don’t like it then don’t watch, it’s as simple as that. I will say one thing, they are and will always be in my prayers, God Bless the Gosselin’s

If the rumors are true its their bussiness and would be surprised but considerdering the divorse rate I shouldn’t most people discriminating them are probably divorsed and jelouse of them. Everyone has their flaws. Most people would not be brave enough to air it on T.V like John and Kate. For them not working GOOD! I was lucky to have my mom at home and wish my dad could have been at home like my mom. I think they do a welll job and try to keep the family active. They go out of their way for having 8 kids that a famiy of 2 kids will not cause it just to hard for them. Good job John adn Kate. All you children are bright, outgoing, and cute.

Most of these comments are ridiculous. Divorce…I don’t think so. Jon out having a little fun…yes. Kate being a bitch all the time….no. If I had to stay home with 8 kids, I’d be a little crazy sometimes too. My two drive me nuts some days and so does my husband. We don’t always keep our cool but that is to be expected. Everyone complaining about how they spend their money, get over it. If I could get a nicer house for my kids or pay for their college by having my life filmed, I would jump on it.
Please remember Kate has written a book also so income is coming in from that besides the show and Jon’s job. It appears their are just a lot of hateful people on here who feel they need to put other people down. Don’t like your life, then do something about it.

I don’t like Kate. She’s…well, she’s several things I won’t say in fornt of the ladies present because I am a gentleman…

But there are times when I watch that show and just the way she talks to Jon seems unnecessarily harsh. A friend of mine’s current ex-wife talked to him the same way Kate does Jon…guess who in THAT relationship cheated and ended up messing around with their ex?

I’ll give you a hint in the form of Shakespearean prose:

“Fraility thy name is woman.”

Her tone of speech and the things she say indicate a complete lack of care for her husband’s feelings. Or anyone elses. People like her only “care” for others because they see those people as extensions of themselves at best, or as possessions at worst. She seems to have no empathy…she might be a replicant. Where’s a good blade runner when you need one?

Anyway, I do hope the rumor isn’t true and I kind of think it’s not. Jon is a bit of a goober but he seems loyal if a bit fed up with Kate’s histrionics. Maybe the two of them need a break from each other and they definately need some SERIOUS counseling.

I have been reading all of the comments, and there are so many views on this family. I just hope the children don’t suffer to much in what ever happens. Maybe they need to go back to the home they first lived in and get their feet back on the ground. Sometimes things just get to big and they lose site of what is happening. I think the first thing they need to do is send Maddy to live with grandparents. I dont think this is as much a problem and the papers have made it into. these tabloids don’t care who they hurt and only have one interest and that is to sell papers. How many lives have they tried to mess up and how many have they messed up. Jon and kate may have some problems, and she can be a witch, and should be more careful what she does. Jon should stand up for himself, but again is that in the script.

Kate needs to stop the nagging. I am the same way she is with only two kids, and I’m divorced. What does that tell you? The older one, Maddie, I believe, emulates Kate and some of the younger kids are starting. This is a terrible example to set for kids. Overall, it’s appears to be a great show and life….but anykind of constant nagging is deplorable.

I must say, this group is quite divided! I have been watching the show since they did their first documentary and for a long time had thoroughly enjoyed it. I tune in without fail every Monday night. However, for quite some time, I have found my feelings for the show changing and now when I tune in it’s more to see what the Hell they are going to fight about next. It’s really sad to see the failings of a couple who obviously started their relationship truly committed and gooey in love. As I watched last night my jaw dropped when they showed previews for next weeks season finale. It seems as though there is actually some real trouble on the homefront although at this point we don’t know how severe. It was horrible watching them on the couch during the preview with Kate looking self-serving, kind of the same look she often has when she know’s she’s right about something, and John looking hurt and embarrassed. That’s not to say he did something wrong, just that he seemed to be struggling with their comments more than she did. She seemed confident they could get through it I think is what she said. So it will be interesting to see exactly what all the fuss has been about next Monday.

alrite for people who say Kate does hold the boys your are incorrect, Kate shows love towards all of her kids equally. Now people who say Kate is a bad wife. Your telling me your perfect? .. Didn’t think so. Kate just isn’t going to be all fake on tv and keeps what she’s feeling at that time in, she just says what she needs to. Another thing Kate didn’t just out of nowhere get naggy, it was already there and john obviously loved her and her naggyness when he married her. Cheering on a divorce is just wrong. Would you want to people to cheer on a divorce between u and your husband? Would yu also want to be a single parent of 8? If yu wouldn’t want it to happen toyou then don’t wish for bad things for other people.

I cannot believe how ignorant and ridiculous half of these comments are. To those of you who judge the Gosselins for being implanted with multiple embryo’s… are you kidding?… that is the way that most infertility doctors do it because the chances of one implanting are pretty slim. Lots of people are given multiple embryo’s and still end up without an implantation or end up having miscarriages. As for those of you whining about how self-obsessed it is to go the infertility route above adoption… again, are you kidding? How many kids have you adopted?… adoption is really difficult to be approved for, especially if you are young and not flush with cash. As for her “bitchiness” I can tell you right now that I grew up in a house of eight kids and you do have to bark orders sometimes. It’s just the way it is. And it doesn’t leave the mark that you think when it is also accompanied with love and fun at other times. Mainly, back off, I guess is my point.

I think that Kate is a role model in the since that she cares for her family, she takes the time to cook healthy organic meals, she teaches the kids to clean and pick up after themselves. There is nothing wrong with her teachings. If society had these same values we wouldn’t be in the shape that we are in now and our children would have a good work ethic and assume responsibility for their actions. I have wonderful grandsons with good work ethic, but I see especially in retail anyone under 45 seems to try to skate by, not all but the majority….they take no pride in their job which also means themselves. Kate is teaching her children different. About them having money. So what, they didn’t go looking, PBS came for them for a documentary and then their show sprung from that. Would you rather them be on welfare, or receiving bailout money and then giving themselves bonuses…we have real problems in this country and Jon and Kate aren’t them…leave them alone and concentrate on one of your congressmen and hold them accountable for something…anything….I dare you….

The simple fact is…Kate is slowing losing her mind, she cannot handle, her OCD has become a massive obstacle in her life….these, to me, are all facts. She has an unnecessary desire to control everyone and everything in her life, and she seems to care less and less about other people, or even her own outside family. She has alienated her family, friends…and she thinks she is a celebrity now, when all she is…..is losing her family, her husband, and her life as she knew it.

To sit and critique this family, but yet be ok with some of the other shows that poison American culture, is so hypocritical! Especially, when America is so in love with Brad ans Angelina, who neither are saints, rewind in to their past, they weren’t always upstandind people. ( Angelina-tounge kissing her brother, Brad cheating on his wife… come on ) If an opportunity knocked at my door for my family like it did for them, I would have jumped at the chance! And you would be bloging about me and my husband, b/c our arguments can be not so nice, but we love each other and our kids. Plus I surely wouldn’t care what any of you thought! The show is another form of the American dream… to have opportunity! They are probably grateful for all this attention, because we are helping them give their kids things they otherwise wouldn’t be able to! More power to them… those kids are loved. Despite what you other people think of Kate or Jon, their kids are doing much better than a lot of kids out in the world, so get over yourselves! those kids are not being hurt by Kate, stop bloging about Kate and research some kids with real tragic lives, or moms that kill them in their sleep, thats who you should be angry about! Those are the moms you should speaking out against! The one who got out and don’t feed their kids, or are on drugs or in a dangerous environment! Get involved in a real problem in your own community!

So many judgements and opinions, which is so sad because I am sure not one person actually knows Jon and Kate personally or have spent anytime with them or their kids. I have watched the show since the beginning and quite enjot it. Being a mother of multipes myself I can relate to some of the daily routines and struggles. But I keep in mind it is a SHOW! It is edited and of course catching people at their frustrated, weak, bitchy moments makes for “good” TV. I mean if it was all lovey dovey and sunshine and rainbows for every show nobody would watch! I for one can say from personal experience as “type A” personality the only way I could survive the first year util now (they are 2) was having everything and everyone on a schedule, and the schedule was going to be stuck to come hell or high water because if not chaos broke out. Somtimes I was snappy and bitchy, I am not proud of the little stupid things I bickered with my hubby about in that first year or even now for that matter, but the bottom line is having multiples is stressful!! You can’t taken your frustrations out on the kids so sometimes it spills over to your spouse. Is it ideal? No way! But sometimes that is just how life goes. I would challenge anyone out there with kids at all, to say they have never been bitchy to their spouse as an unfortunate event of frustrations built up thoughout the day. I am sure you would not like to be judged by the masses if somehow everyone could see you at your not so bright moments. I know that they “asked for it” by having the cameras around but I am sure the 30 min show could not possibly show all sides of their personalities. I hope they do what is best for their marriage and their kids! Because lets face it as much as we all think we KNOW them from the show and stuff on the internet, only they truly know what is going on in their lives that we don’t all see. And for all the people out there who don’t have multiples I would urge you to think long and hard about how you would handle that kind of stress before you pass judgement on anyone else.

First of all, I would like to respond on two comments. The first was someone saying that they hope the Gosselin’s do get a divorce. How horrible is that? Why would you wish something so bad for someone and those poor kids? Why would you hope that a marriage would break up and a family would be separated? You must not value the idea of marriage and family. Shame on you. The second was someone saying “so what” to the idea that Jon may have cheated on Kate and that our husbands have probably cheated too. If that’s the way you really think, I feel sorry for you. It is NOT okay for spouses to cheat on each other, and especially not something to just shrug off and say “so what” or “oh well”! I value the sanctity of marriage and so does my spouse and I wish more people out there did. I feel sorry for you that you think it would be okay for your husband to cheat on you. That’s so horrible!
Now, to comment about Jon and Kate. Yes, Kate is snippy and uptight. Yes, it would be nice if she could relax a little and just laugh at things that happen instead of getting upset. BUT, she is under a lot of stress and for the most part actually does a really great job of raising her kids. I admire her for wanting to overcome her fertility challenges and to do whatever it took to have children. Yes, she got more than she bargained for, but she is handling it the best she can. I just hope that Jon can continue to be patient with her and understand why she acts the way she does. I wouldn’t blame him, though, for wanting a chance to tell her how he feels about her nagging. As long as he is nice about it, I think she’ll understand and might work on it to improve their marriage and make it last…not only for themselves, but for their kids! I think they’ll be okay…or at least I sure hope so.

I have always been very curious of the reason she doesn’t have her parents in her life. She has given one reason but it just didn’t fly. Also is it true that Aunt Jodi isn’t around her any more. I wondered about that relationship after Jodi gave the kids gum and Kate was throwing socks in the trash and threatening to throw the little boy’s bear in the trash due to a ‘little’ gum on it. That was pretty cruel I thought. And then she called Jodi to complain about giving the kids gum. Jodi babysat all of those kids and then Kate calls Jodi to let her know that the kids don’t get gum. I agree with her on that point, but she didn’t need to call Jodi and tell her right then. And for goodness sake, let the little guy have his bear without threats of throwing it in the trash. He was crying and he loved that bear. I just thought that was so cruel and over a little gum stuck in it. I think Jon does a lot for Kate and for and with those children. I think he would like for Kate to be more relaxed and maybe that will happen some day. Hopefully all the perfection that Kate wants will not be so important to her and she will “let the kids enjoy the little things of life “. To quote what Jodi said to her on the phone about the “gum”. I raised 4 children. I kept a clean house and was organized but not over the top about it. My kids were allowed to be kids.!!! I was a stay at home mom and I sure didn’t bark orders at my husband!!!!

isn’t there enough divorces in the nation today? so why do so many people wish that on others?I hope during the summer break that whatever did happen Jon and Kate can work it out. I think they truly love each other but with everything else going on they just got lost like so many people do. They don’t need a swink they just need some time to theirselves to work things out. And who said that they had shut their family out ? They just moved into a bigger place so the kids would have more freedom to run. It would destroy those kids if their parents were not both around..How lousey can amother be when she and the dad tell the kids they can have not one but two dogs…. Every couple has their ups and downs..If Jon was doing what they say he was then what kind of an example is hesetting for his sons and daughters..the kids are not deaf they hear and see alot….they hear what people say about their parents after all Mady and Cara go to school and their friends talk because they hear it from their parents..So instead of wishing for another divorce in America let us pray that things don’t go that far.. after all none of us are perfect…All i can say is “hang in there Jon and Kate ” you are in my prayers..

The last show preview for this coming Monday
was pretty weird idk it might made it seem like
they were talking about their marriage being on
the rocks but who knows until the words come out
of their own mouths. BTW they were on oprah again
just last Monday they seemed happy so idk. We
have to wait till the next show this Monday and I bet
A good amount of people will be watching. Aren’t these show recorded weeks or months before ??
Oprah is recorded the day of or sometimes a few days before and it’s recent right so they r still
together I think

If it is true I’ll stop watching.

This season it seems they are always doing things seperately, and the body language…Well, Kate might as well be sitting on the arm of the couch! I think maybe they will just get a legal seperation, because Jon could never affofd the child support for all those buggers!

If Jon wasn’t going around being a man whore then maybe they could work it out. They just bought a new house and everything. I don’t care if they don’t love eachother anymore because now they have 8 kids involved. Kate will get the kids, and Jon will have to pay, which he couldn’t even do. Jon might just want to stick it out.

I believe Jon truly loves his wife but enough is enough with the ram rodding. You can only get bagged by your significant other so many times, and especially on television.
If Jon went out on a “let my hair down party” he deserves a kick in the nuts. But the media love to portray women as super-mom and dad as the dufus, and personally I’m getting tired of it.

well from reading half the comments here.. is enough to say… you have no idea what it’s like to have 8 kids at a young age..
first off i’m 17 and i enjoy watching it.. but now they don’t show everyday things anymore.. lately it’s just one new episode a week which gives them time to do their own business without camera’s following them 24/7.. anywho Kate didn’t ASK to have this many kids at all.. they were never expecting a big family like this.. she was infertile and took hormone pills to release eggs and the last time this happened the doctor said there were 3.. now for dummy’s who don’t know.. not all eggs would get fertilized by this infertility treatment.. sometimes all the eggs do.. sometimes none of the eggs do.. so do your research and half of the people in here are adults and i’m only 17 and i know this.. seriously go back to school or something….
anyways so of course you can guess after those 3 eggs got fertilized they seperated and they were twins of each egg… not hard eh..
sure Kate isn’t as happy as could be, but honestly, any young mother like that.. would go nuts and would beg their husband for help.. i know i would be if i had 8 kids myself, i’d be snappy like her.. anyone would. And Kate being a germaphobe and a very organized person.. i wouldn’t blame her, kids get sick very easily… every parent should know that.. i babysit quite a lot of kids and all their houses are tidy, tidy, tidy.. and they only have 2-3 kids..
Most of the people in here are egotistical and never think of other people’s feelings.. very selfish.. and if you watch it to watch them fail.. you’re disgusting.. would be nice to watch you fail in life too.. we should put you on TV.. if you don’t like watching it.. change the channel and stop complaining for goodness sake.. you really have no life if you go to sites and start complaining about how you hate watching the show.. or how horrible it is.. seriously grow up you’re acting like spoiled annoying little brats..
personally i don’t think the rumor is true.. for one it’s a celebrety thing, rumors come and go.. some are bad some are good.. it’s just something misunderstood, short sighted or just plain rude and mean to even start one..
you should honestly put yourselves in Kate’s shoes, at her age, in her place, in her mind, and lets see how you can take on 8 kids and 2 growing pups.. and who cares how they spend their money, they couldn’t afford much when the show began.. what about 10,000$ a month or something.. possibly more.. i’m sure you would be spending your money on things like trips for you and your family of 10 often and try to be as happy as possible even with the mishaps and such…. and for those who are against abortion in here.. then you should congradulate her.. because the doctors insisted and asked Kate several times for a reduction of the sextuplets but she didn’t want too.. so for those bitching at her about how she apparently treats her kids but congrdulate her for not getting an abortion.. cuz i am against abortion.. it’s exactly like murder.. hope half of the people read this and finally will somewhat understand how she feels..

I hope these rumors are not true. I think they do a great job in spending quality time with their children. You can see they really enjoy planning all these trips and events for the kids to enjoy and how much these kids really enjoy it. They’ll always have those memories of the quality time they shared with their parents. They would be bad parents if they only spent the money on themselves for thier individual luxury but what they mostly spend it on is things that involve the kids like a house. Also, in some recent episodes Kate gats upset at jon for not using coupons to purchase somethings. So even with the money they have, she still wants to save. And being a clean freak is only better for the children. I wish everyone could be as clean and neat as Kate, You can tell it paid off. Her kids barely get sick or hardly got sick like other kids that are always sick especially in winter. So she did a good job and going organic, shes only looking for the best for her kids.

Kate and Maddie have awful spoiled bratty tempors and nag all the time. Maddie needs 911 Nanny.

However, any other child does get time out or NOT enough to eat. I think they need more food, they gobble and chow at lunch and dinner times.
Lay off your husband and let the little things go. Life is too short to worry about which rubber bands to put in the girls hair etc. wow There’s where your time goes and creates additional worries on yourself and others. I’d be thankful to have a husband. I’m a single full time working mom, living in a 1,100 sq. foot home and diagnosed with cancer. Lighten up woman. Why charge for pictures and signatures when someone already paid for the book? What’ s the percentage your donating? Unreal… I have medical bills coming out of my ears. God Bless and Good Luck.

As I am reading this blog I am quite interested on how blatantly stupid some of you are. Did they both agree to a show, yes. Are they both on the same page about everyhting, probably. Who are you to decide and continue to put out unfounded rumors. If this was a pro player of aome aorts who went to a bar, after being home with eight kids, and took a picture with some random girls who said they were fans nobody would even blink an eye. But because they were in a very small town with young college girls who lets admit aren’t very mature yet, were supposed to believe that he was inappropriate, give me a break. if any one of us, were in there shoes, we would need a break to. Let’s not forget about editing, they edit these shows to look a certain way and yes I’m sure that Kate can be rather OCD and opinionated, but was it not years ago when they atrted womens rights and women wanted to be more like her. So now were going to tear her down for it. So what she goes and makes money for her family and she’s the bread winner right now, John did it for how many years, it’s his turn to play Mr. Mom.

I think that its optional to watch their tv series first of all but I do agree that Kate is way too anal retentive with her kids about cleanliness. The two older girls are developing especially bratty behaviors that make me think my 7 year old is an angel even on her worst day! I don’t think what Jon did was a big deal, he was just out having fun people need to remember that Jon and Kate are VERY young and they started having kids at 23 so they probably just want to get out now and then. I’ll admit I watch the show but I don’t find it that interesting anymore. It has lost its appeal for me because they have made hoards of money off of it and aren’t shy about spending the money. Big deal that they had 6 kids at once. She intentionally implanted herself with way too many embryos to begin with and had 6 at once. Does she deserve an emmy for that? It’s not like they were infertile and opted to adopt 6 children some with special needs and give them a home. That would have been really impressive and commendable! But they chose to just reproduce themselves 6 more times! I think Kate is irresponsible for implanting herself with so many embryos. I was infertile too and only implanted myself with two at once. Only one took and I am the proud mother of that child today. I know what I can handle and Kate should have thought of the consequences of her actions.

This is a comment to this^. okay you might think that this is irresponsible yet look at the octuplet mom she was way more irresponsible by putting 8 eggs! So what if she is bitchy you have to cut her some slack sometimes. You should picture yourself with 8 kids with 6 of them 4 years old!!!

I do agree that she needs to cool it on some things, maybe get off Jon’s back, but shes under a lot of stress being home with those kids all day. And about her being a germiphobe…. IDE be a germiphobe too if i hate 8 kids. If 1 kid gets sick, they ALL get sick as we’ve seen in previous episodes. Thats 8 sick kids throwing up and crying all at once. Just think about if you were in her shoes, in her life. And about jon cheating on kate….. hes not cheating on her. I mean, i dont know that as a fact, but im sure all that is just a misunderstanding. I highly doubt that would be something he would do. I just hope they work out their problems. They seem like a really great family, and it would absolutely crush the kids if anything were to change.

The criticism that Kate dishes out to Jon during their downstairs interview sessions is appalling. This is not the time or place to “correct” your loved one – or any one for that matter. There does not seem to be any child enduced stress during those interviews to warrent such behavior. No, I don’t live in their household and I’m sure Jon is no saint either, but it must be horribly frustrating for him to sit there while she criticizes him – hence his eye rolling. I was married for 38 years before my husband died. During those years I too received constant criticism both in private and in public that was incredably mentally destructive. My heart goes out to Jon and a prayer for Kate to learn the right way to treat her partner and others before its too late for the whole family. I think therapy is in order for this whole family. Maybe there’s a therapist out there who would be willing to donate their services to the Gosslin’s like other people and companies have in the past – hopefully this will be done in private!

Jon is always doing things for himself… bobsledding while Cara watched, the hairplugs, Oh & he was going to go on a weekend camping trip with Kate’s brother without any kids but instead he had to work, & he went to whatever function he was supposedly seen cheating. Don’t get me wrong I think Jon is a good dad & yes he deserves a break but Kate does need one too. Let’s not forget that if Jon did cheat it is his whole family that will suffer including the kids.

Kate and John have 8 kids (which if you dont know, you probably shouldn’t be leaving mindless comments)…i could not even imagine the responsibility that comes along with that, I would lose my mind. The way Kate keeps everyone in line and keeps everything in order is pretty much the most amazing thing I have ever seen! She does an amazing job loving, disciplining them and keeping the order that is needed. Kate is far from a “witch” like John said they are “normal people”, with normal problems and joys just like everyone on this planet, the only difference is that they put their private lives on the line so that their children could grow up with experiences and opportunities an american family that size would never have the opportunities to do, and for that, god bless them. I cant imagine on top of all the stress of having a family that size and dealing with everyday family stress, they deal with gossip like this! Everyone makes mistakes, whether or not it is true I believe it is their problem and Im sure like most things people throw in gossip magazines, is most likely a crock of shit. Love the show, love kids, and think John and Kate do an excellent job at their parenting and dealing with their lives so publicly. God Bless them.

I am also finding it rather amazing that I’m sitting here reading all of the comments that have been made and even more surprised that I feel a need to add my two cents.

I find the worst offense in many of these comments is that some of the people who are so quick to point out the faults of Kate can’t even write their comments using the proper wording!
I bet Kate sure knows the difference between to, too, and two!! Maybe some of you should stop watching so much television and take up an English class or two.

I just want to say, that some of these negative replied are from some really inexperienced and young people. (Young at heart)
Putting it nicely, they are just not mature and empathetic enough.
Putting it badly, they are just uneducated morons who think they know it all.

First, Kate is not a “bitch”. She has a very tough personality because she was raised by very disciplining parents. She has a mind of her own, so she acts the way she think is best. She may have her flaws, but when it comes down to the children, you can just tell how much she loves them. The energy, time, and love she’s put on these kids can’t be denied. If she didn’t love her kids, why did she quit her job just to take care of them?

As for Jon, he’s laid back, but he’s not irresponsible. They might have their fights, every couple put under this kind of pressure would, but no matter what, they wouldn’t do something that would hurt the family and the kids.

Some of these comments are from people who doesn’t know how to step into other people’s shoes. I hope Kate understand that, even if she should have to read some of these hurtful things.

And about their money. Don’t be jealous that they got those money, cause it’s hard won. It’s not easy to have cameras surround you 24/7. It soo not easy to do a show, despite how it looks on TV for the viewer’s sake.
And you saw their old house. It’s not big enough for they kids. If you have a family of 10, and 3 kids have to share just one room, how can’t you not want to get them a bigger house so they can have the privilege of having their own room like other kids?
What about the rest of you who seem to get green eyes dreaming about the cash they get?

If the viewers have a problem with Kate and feel that Jon is getting the wrong side of the stick, stop and think about their situation. You are at home all day with six screaming kids and two who are a school. I get tired in a hour of having ten nieces and nephews (ages 11 to 1) with me. If they were the same age I think that I would go bonkers if I had them day in and day out. As the children get older and they attend school all day things will get better, no more screaming.

Don’t be so quick to judge Kate. For a moment, I will step out of my usual serendipitous stature to give you a better understanding of Kate’s behavior. In Kate’s current psychosocial level of development, she is feeling that she has ceased to be Kate Gosselin. She has now taken on the persona of being THE MOTHER OF TWINS AND SEXTUPLITS. Her intensive touring and book signing are an attempt to distance herself, temporarily, to recapture her own individuality. She is attempting to tell Kate’s story, not the story of the children. This also manifests in the behavior she exhibits as she continues to change her outward appearance. The cloths, hair, tan, teeth etc, all are attempts to regain her individuality and sense of self worth .The guilt that she is obviously feels also explains the abrupt behavior that she continues to exhibit toward those who are funding her exploits. Her obvious disconnection from her empirical beliefs are a sign of underlying guilt brought on by her lack of involvement in her families lives. Is this fair to the children? Not at this time, but in the long run, it will be healthier to have a mother who is confident in herself and in her abilities rather than one who is unable to effectively deal with the onslaught of miniscule daily tasks that currently cumulates into an explosion of unsubstantiated rage. She eventually will find herself and will be a stronger more loving individual.

I really enjoy watching the Gosselin’s but have recently noticed a more negative side of kate. I do appreciate Kate’s committment to her kids and hubby and her organizational skills but it really bothers me when she disrespects Jon. If you watch her body languange you can see how contemptuous she really is towards Jon. I adore Jon but wish he would get a back bone because there will be so much a man will take until he either get’s resentful, angry and/or depressed. If I could, I would recommend they both read Dr.Laura’s books “Proper Care and Feeding of Hudbands” and “Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage”. Both books are outstanding and would benefit them in some way. I want the marriage to thrive in a loving manner but they need to make big changes!

I just like the show because the kids are adorable. Its obvious that Kate is agressive and Jon is passive, and she is the kind of person that would be doggin him out no matter how many kids they had. Unfortunately I have known many strong women like Kate that think they have the right to berate and belittle their man and then don’t understand it when he walks out. Lets all be real, the most important relationship in this family is the mom & dad, lets all root for them to make it.

I would like to start off that I LOVE this show!!! I was saddened the other day when my best friend told me that Jon and Kate might be having some marriage troubles. However, there are always ups and downs in every relationship whether it’s a marriage or the bond between sorority sisters. It’s all in how you deal with them. Thankfully, I think that because of their strong faith in God and all the experience they have dealing with stress that comes along with 10 different personalities in one house, they will figure things out. For the people that are upset about them living the life that God has blessed them with, my guess is that you are not praying enough. If He chose to bless you with the ability to be with the people that you love as much as you wanted because you no longer have to worry about money, I’m 100% percent positive that you would be giddy with excitement and take full advantage! That is what life is about. Being with the people that you love! When you say that they don’t work for their money I think that you are forgetting how emensily challenging it is to raise a child. Raising even one child, let alone eight, is a full time job but some how that gets overlooked by most people. Jon and Kate are doing an amazing job of raising their children! They are being brought up in a home full of love and go to church every Sunday. Did you know that its proven that people who have a strong realtionship with God are happier than those who dont? In response to people calling Kat a bitch/witch/horrid person, I wasn’t aware that you knew her. Hmm funny isn’t it. You only see what the people in the editing room want you to see. It makes for better ratings if everything isn’t hunky dory all the time. You would get bored watching if things were. They both say things to eachtoher that probably shouldn’t have been said in front of the children or that could have been phrased differently but who hasn’t? Like a few people said above me….NO ONE IS PERFECT!! One last thing, to the people who said, “We did stop watching” because your didnt like the show or what it stood for, my question to you then is why you feel the need to get on here and write a long blog about it. Apparently there isn’t enough drama in your life to keep you busy so you have to prey on others and get satifaction out of others misfortunes, etc. Grow up and get a life! Highschool should have ended about twenty years ago for you.

Jon and Kate….keep up the good work and don’t let people get you down. You don’t need mine or anyone else’s approval you already have it from the one person that matters! God Bless!

These are real people and they are human like all of us. They are responsible and loving and they bicker like we all do. I appreciate who they are, they love their kids and each other and if John makes a stupid mistake, forgive him, he has a lot to deal with he is a good man. The media would LOVE for either of them to screw up. Guess what, they are God loving, decent people and they will survive so to hell with you who would have them split. They will make it and so will their kids. They are very lucky children. Try to be positive and loving for once.

The show is great. Anyone who wants to criticize or say that Kate is a B*tch, you obviously do not know what it is to handle that amount of stress. Kate takes care of 8 children full time, then has to try and save energy to be kind to her husband when he comes home. In one episode, Jon stated that he is glad to have a job and would not want to stay home like Kate does. Try organizing, feeding, mending, etc. 8 children, and then try to have a human conversation with your husband. After being around 8 children all day, it must not be easy to speak to an adult. Kate comes off as a b*tch to most people because she is so organized, disciplined, and patient; I am sure that 3 quarters of the parents out there are jealous. Give them a break and let them have their privacy.
On March 19th 2009, Pamela wrote:

Another thing….Jon is attentive to everything. Kate is a very outspoken person who is around the children 24/7 since she is a stay at home mom. For Kate to be overpowering in the interviews is understandable because she is with the children the most. Jon just seems like a very laid back person. The distance between Kate and Jon showed in the more recent episodes as the kids got older. This is expected. How much alone time do you all think Kate and Jon actually get?? Of course they will seem distant. This is the hardest time of their lives in rasing these children

If you look at the few clips they showed RE: the season finale – Jon and Kate are in the kitchen of thier old house. We all know they just moved into this big new house, so why were they in the old house in one of the clips?

Even if their marriage is not in the best shape, does anyone really think that Jon and Kate are ready to give up the lifestyle that this show has given them? I’m not even sure that Jon works anymore – he never mentions having a job.

I have watched this show for a while now and somehow I just love it. I will say that I have noticed that Kate see’s herself on tape acting a bit edgy with Jon and has tried to adjust herself. Think about having that many children. She has to make sure everything goes right for them. I dont see how you could be relaxed and do that. Usually Moms are kind of the drill seargants at home anyway. Plus we are watching her every move. I really think they will not do too many more seasons on TV. Ill tell you what, I would never watch a show about Octomom. Good luck to both of them, marriage is a constant work. Give her a break. Send them some good wishes.

Not only can people salvage marriages after horrible incidents have threatened them, but they can learn to change, and make their relationships stronger ,and more loving than ever. Jon and Kate are both very intelligent people who have 8 beautiful reasons for making their relationship work. All we can do is sit by and see if they share with us what direction their lives will take. My prayers go out to all 10 of them.

I’ve been watching for a while and I, too, see changes that take this story from reality to something else. I think that people tuned in at the start to see how a relatively normal couple would cope with all these kids. That was interesting, compelling and there were things to learn from it.

Over time, this family has taken advantage of the situation and moved from a place where we could relate to them to a place where we can’t. I find that sad because I have trouble watching the show, knowing that nobody works full time (except the kids, of course), there is a brand new ginormous house, a chef and golly knows what else. I can not relate to this anymore and am losing interest because it seems to be the “same old” over and over. Kate carping. Jon looking pained. Kids acting out. Family experiences that are too “set up” to be believable or to relate to.

My husband commented that Jon is looking more and more haggard as time goes on. Even the hair plugs (and who with all those kids could afford that?) aren’t helping.

Kate, bless her, has good intentions but doesn’t know when to zip the lip. Yes, she needs to maintain order but in a way that will get cooperation, not in a way that irritates and challenges everyone.

I’ve been married 30 years and all I can say is stuff happens. This family has reaped the rewards for being on public display but unfortunately the price is that they are unravelling, a number of the kids exhibit some pretty bad and needy behavior and there seems to be little contact with other family. Something is wrong. To make a marriage and family work you need to forgive but you need also to have a common vision and an understanding of why you are together and how the family can function to help everyone be their best. This family doesn’t have that. They need to read Stephen Covey’s writings and work on a family mission statement. We did 25 years ago and it kept us together, focused and make it abundantly clear what was important to us as a family. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to get mad at my kids when they were growing up. They are now productive, well rounded and loving people….one in med school and one who is going to grad school for computer security in the fall.

Our tv family needs to figure out what it means to be a family, not just the operational and financial end of it.

Kate and Jon…if you read this, I’m willing to share our mission statement with you as well as how we made it work. We are not poster children for a great family but I think that we did a lot of things right.

I wish them all the luck in the world. They appear to need it.

Jon and Kate may spend money… whatever… whomever makes money, spends money. Many, many things you see them doing on the show are gifts for other businesses to make profit from their advertising it on J&K+8. Those 8 kids, due solely from this show, will be able to go to college and make a decent living. They will become tax-paying adults… thanks mom and dad… who else could afford the best educations for 8 kids? Not me! This ride won’t last forever, I just hope they put some away for a rainy day.

I have watched the show several times and having a family that large with all young ones, well isn’t that easy. One of the problems I do see is that Kate is not being a submissive wife and she needs to work on that like we all do, she is not the boss of Jon but is Jon’s helpmate. Kate tells Jon off ALOT and Jon has been controling homself enough that by now if I was him I would have already said a few things to her:/ I think it is amazing on how what the public says can get a reaction going on in the minds of the person or couple directed to . My prayer is that Jon and Kate stay together and work on submissiveness and attitude aspecially around their children who will talk to eachother in the same way in which their parents talk to eachother. They are good partners together and need more time here and there to reconnect and perhaps get counseling form time to time….there is NOTHING wrong with that.

If Jon was emasculating Kate like she does him on national TV you all would be outraged!!! What she is doing is DOMESTIC ABUSE!!! Plain and simple. Now before you all go and get rightous think about it. Go to the Domestic Abuse website and read the warning signs. Kate is doing terrible damage to all those kids. Think about how she degrades and chastises him in front of the kids. She always talks over Jon, constantly criticizing him, and never taking responsibility for anything. These kids will all grow up thinking that the way Kate treats Jon is ok and they will follow in her footsteps. You are suppose to teach children how to LOVE your husband not how to emasculate your husband in front of the U.S.A..
Say what you will, but go back and watch the episodes all over again. Then see what kind of damage she has already inflicted on those poor kids. Yes, Kate is a terrible example and for any of you to say she is a role model…….well you also need some serious therapy!!! If you condone how she treats her husband, SHAME ON YOU!!!! When will Kate fly off the handle and do some actual physical violence……………it’s only a matter of time. Renewing her wedding vows was a farce, I’ve yet to see her employ any of her vows. Especially the one about Honoring your Husband.
I used to record every episode, I was hooked and never missed any one of the shows. But after the past years and watching the decline of Jon’s ability to avoid Kate’s constant emasculation and criticizing I have had to stop watching their show. I still love TLC, but to watch Kate makes me sick to my stomach and it embarrasses me and most all of my friends. Does Kate know that she is the butt of jokes on late night T.V. What does that say.
Jon, get your kids and run far away from any danger Kate will do to you all !!!!! We need to pray for them all. I feel so sorry for those poor poor babies, hurry and get them into therapy!!!

Some are twins and are all so close in age that it probably has felt like quads or more! You think 8 kids create enough stress to merrit Kate’s behavior, but Mrs. Duggar has raised all of her kids and never snaps at her husband that way (at least not on the show…she may have her moments, but at least she controls herself)! I like the show and I like Kate, but I do think that she really needs to adjust her behavior towards Jon. The stress of raising 8 kids can leave you very frustrated, but it’s still important to be kind and to be a good example. I know that her personality mixes with all the stress and makes it worse, but I really think that she needs to relax and be nicer! Jon needs to stand up for himself more, too.

I enjoy watching the show. I admit Kate can be impossible but who wouldn’t be with 8 kids. At least she cares about her kids, keeps them clean and well fed and gives them attention. I know many woman with one kid that can’t or don’t do that, much less 8 kids. Give them some credit, they are trying to be good parents. The only weird part to me is why they make the 6 younger kids walk a straight line but let the two older ones be complete brats. ? I don’t get that part but its not my decision on how to raise their kids. Mady may be the brattiest kid I have ever seen and they just ignore it. You might want to re-think that one John and Kate!

OMG! Are you guys serious right now? How can those of you who are bad mouthing this family do so? They have EIGHT F’ING KIDS!!! Of course Kate is going to be upset and not show the best of herself, how could you if you had that many little kidos around? I know first hand how this must be for them. I come from a family of eight. 4 sisters and 3 brothers, and let me tell you! My mother is an AMAZING women! But yet having 8 kids did NOT bring out that person 24/7! So just because Kate is stressed and takes it out on John does not make it ok for John to go out and do what he did. Even IF this all just a big rummor, he was still out! Leaving Kate with the kids! That is NOT ok in its self! They are just as much of his kids as they are Kate’s! He should be at home HELPING HER! If he wanted to go out then he should have gotten a babysiter and taken Kate out with him! I am sure that she could use a break as well! I like most people really hope this is not true! I think that they are a great family and would never think something like this could happen to them…i guess we will all just have to wait and see what they have to say on Monday! But in the mean time..please don’t bad mouth Kate or their family..you dont know what it is like to be them.

Jon, Shame on you! Everyone gets tired of a job or chore around the house but why would you go to a bar? Yes the kids are older and somewhat can do a lot of chores for themselfves…but remember you brought them into the world and the children did not ask to be here.
I have noticed on Kate’s face and weight lately, and she is showing signs of distress.
Jon, you and Kate forgive and forget and keep that family together. The Lord says7 times 7 forgiven.

I too use to be a fan of the show. But with each episode Kate grew more annoying with her constant nagging and berating treatment towards Jon that it is really to much to watch. She talks down to him that you sit there a yell at the TV and say “Wake up Jon tell her to shut up!!” They are living off their kids and that is exploitation and I feel sorry for those adorable kids. If there is anyone on that show that Kate should pay a little more attention to is Mady. I have never seen a more bratty child then that one. Better wise up Kate she is going to be a horror when she is a teenager….

I, like so many others, hope this rumor is untrue. However, celebrity status can sometimes change people and the way they behave. Certainly affects the way OTHERS treat the new celeb. I have recently learned they have a strong Christian background and that, alone, makes them fodder for attack—in this day and age. But bottom line, there is simply to much at stake for this marriage to fail and I hope it doesn’t.

why would anyone accept Jon’s wandering eyes and make excuses for him? You don’t hear about Kate going out, getting drunk and flirting with guys. Everyone comments on what a bitch she is to Jon but we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. If it’s true that he is out hanging with young girls flirting and she’s home stuck taking care of the 8 kids on her own…how do you justify that? Jon and Kate were together for a while before having all the kids…if she sucked so bad, he could have left. Kate is strong woman and a great mother. No one is perfect. Those of you who blog your negative comments about Kate should look at yourselves and ask ‘how would i act if I had eight kids?” Get over it people ! There are worse things to worry about in the world.

I watched the show at the beginning for a few episodes, then I had to stop due to Kates nasty personality. Jon appears to be so nice and genuine and is great with the kids. Kate is the total opposite. I think that she does the show for the money and the things she gets out of promotion. The kids are great. The world loves Jon and the kids. Kate needs to leave and get supervised visitation. I feel bad for the crew that films them.

Everyone needs to stop using Jon and Kate’s 8 kids as the excuse for Kate’s behavior!! Plenty of people in the world have 8 kids, or more! Sure, not as many of them have 6 kids all the same age, but still. The number of kids you have shouldn’t mean that it’s okay to be so mean. Even with 8 kids, there needs to be patience and love and respect for the kids and husband! Kate needs to work on all of the above (though I know she does love her kids and husband…she just needs to let it show more and let it help her control herself!). Her anal personality makes it harder for her, but I think she really needs to make a greater effort. I love the show and I love their family, but I really do think Kate needs to improve her behavior. I hope they work on it and stay together.

First of all, most of you making comments need to proof read before you send your comment.

Second, if Jon was doing all these things he is being accused of, why didn’t any of these college kids with their fancy phones think to take pictures of it? Aren’t those the ones the magazines would have paid enough money for to pay off their student loans? I can’t believe with all the boozing and kissing supposedly going on, not one person thought to take a picture other than the one of Jon looking very sober posing with a couple of fans.

This family IS NOT being filmed 24/7. Jon and Kate have said they decide when filming will take place. The show is only 30 minutes long minus about 10 minutes for commercials. Of course it is going to be edited down so that only the interesting things are shown. Is your life interesting 24/7?

And yes, Mady has her issues but to say she is never disiplined is wrong. I have seen Mady not be able to participate in family things several times because of her behavior.

I just hope that all of you who think your parenting skills are so much better than Jon and Kate’s remember that when you get the call from the principal that your child has done something wrong at school or the call from the police to come bail your kid out of jail.

Unless you personally know Jon & Kate and have spent time with them, please leave them alone. I’m sure you are no picnic to be with all the time either.

I had a terrific marriage, unfortunatly my husband passed away a while ago. When I watch Jon & Kate I laugh and recall being the same as they are. We didn’t always agree however we loved each other & at the end of the day told each other .

And NO, I do not watch Jon & Kate plus 8 any more. I think that TLC needs to take the show off the air.
I just feel so so sorry for those kids, they are the ones who suffer and all for the sake of the root of all evil………………….MONEY!!!!!!!
Ever wonder why Kate’s family is never around???? Ever wonder why Jon’s family didn’t show up for their first wedding????
Their second wedding was a big farce!!! Their trip to Hawaii was FREE!!!!!!!! Everything is free for them, as long as you all keep donating to them they will take trips on all of your dimes.

I read the article and decided to check out the comments. I wonder how some people live that they are referring to the “money” and “wealth” of this family…Ummm, they are very typically middle class and certainly not even upper middle class. I watched the show initially because the children were cute. Kate is not a pleasant woman, she treats Jon like utter crap and the children are becoming horrendous little brats. I’m surprised Jon has not left her already. Hopefully the show will be cancelled so that the riff raff that seems to idolize them and they they are “rich” will get a life and the children will have a shot at normality.

Only God can judge them, and he love’s them more than anything! They are both God fearing people trying to live their chaotic life while keeping from going insane.

I’ve watched John & Kate since the beginning and have really enjoyed it. But it has bothered me terribly when Kate demeans Jon. If they would get some counseling, that would maybe help their relationship. Jon really loves her, and I believe she really loves him, but she doesn’t know how to talk to him sometimes. He works so hard for the family and he doesn’t deserve her badmouthing. Perhaps Kate just isn’t aware of what she is doing. A man can only take so much, and then his pride would make it necessary for him to leave her. She must always show her love for him and not belittle him. I wish them well. I do think they need to discipline Mady (she’s a mean selfish little girl) in some clever way so that she doesn’t realize what is happening and will straighten out. Maybe Dr. Phil could help the family?!

Watching the show on TV is one thing….getting involved in their private lives is wrong. I think they should limit the TV exposure as the children grow up. As much as i enjoy watching, I believe it would be healthier for the family to stop full season shows. I think that is what the issue is between Jon and Kate. I would rather the children grow up mentally healthy than have someone play with them on the internet like they did the parents.

Remember people that is just a show!!!! You cant believe evrything you hear and sometimes you judge people on tv based on what you see on the show. You dont know Jon and Kate personally so you cant assume that their really like that when the cameras aren’t recording. In my opinion their just actors on a set and off the set they are Jon and Kate. Their human beings just like us , that have both possitive and negative qualities, and they make mistakes just like us. If you want to critize them do it in a constructive way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But remember that if you dont know them personally than you dont really know the whole truth or whats really real.

I used to watch shows like The Real World and dating shows and its all the same thing over and over again. Is always sometime type of drama to make you tune in for the next episode and the next. Is almost like watching soap opras. Jon and Kate Plus 8 uses the same stragedy of getting people to tune in for the episodes, by going on trips and stuff like that. Is a way of keeping people interested in the show and at the same time make the show popular.I think the Jon & kate plus8 show is a good show.

But I personally like the duggers show better because they seem like their not materialistic and they teach their kids moral values and important things about life. They seem like their really devoted to their kids. and they are good role models!!!!!

I am so shocked by the need for so many people to attack and defend this family. Truth is.. they are a beautiful family and if a camera followed most of us it would not be a pretty picture. I watch the show because the relationship of these 6 little ones is amazing. The older ones are spoiled and one does act like a brat here and there. That happens in most households. I do not care for Kate at all. She is rude, arrogant, and quite frankly I don’t understand how she thinks children will grow in such a restrictive environment. Having said that she does need to have rules, and ways to keep a house with that many children running smoothly. I think they began their family at such a young age they will have times that they will need their time and space away. It is not them who should be blamed for exploiting their children it is all of us who watch their show … I do believe they began this show to help pay the bills and so we could understand how life is with so many children. They have made the money because we watch..Sadly, some of you watch and hope that this family self-destructs. It is a family.. with children..loving, sweet children. How can you wish anyone harm? Kate loves her children and they love her! Not one mother is perfect and again if a camera followed us around we would be shocked by how most mothers and fathers communicate! I think if Jon was the type of guy to cheat or mistreat his wife he would do that on the show.. It would be the perfect way to get back at her… So i hope this family pulls it self together and Jon steps up!

Kate would you like me to pack your goodbye bag or just throw everything in a garbage bag for you.

Jon seems to be spending more time with the kids than kate is, She is never home, and when she isnt there and they are doing the interview she needs to keep her mouth shut because she wasnt there she has no clue on how the kids acted, But she sure pipes in when it comes to hanna and Maddy. WOW Wonder who her favorites are.Jon deserves alot more credit than what he gets. So what he went out to a Bar, Big woop, And im sure kate never gets out by herself, Please. She admitted they have a nanny in the new house who doesnt want people to know who she is, Wonder what kate is doing when the nanny is there? you know she gets out of the house without kids Just as much as jon does. And whoever mentiond about jons mom not being at the second wedding, His mom lives in Pa, Why didnt you ask why Kates mom wasnt there? You never hear kate say anything about her parents, At least Jon talks about his and helps his mom out unlike KATE. Kate needs to step back and see how she talks to Jon and think long and hard before she speaks. Treat others as you want to be treated, If you want people to speak badly about you keep up the good work, WAKE UP PEOPLE KATE IS NOT AN ANGEL, She really needs to get help, Jon cant help her, Heck she is always telling him wake up quit doing that, stop doing this, go do that do this, Kate think before you speak and Just maybe people would respect you, But alot of people know you will never change, you sit home and feed off of all of the bad things said about you and wonder what else you can do and say to get that much more attention, YOU POOR LADY

First off I’d like to say that it’s really none of any of our business if they Are or Aren’t getting a divorce. This isn’t just some reality t.v. show, this is THEIR lives.
Stress gets to people sometimes but they’ve been through so much already together (8 kids….all under 10yrs old…seriously!). It’s just not fair for them to get talked about behind their backs. Their people. Not animated dolls. What I think is even worse is those people who write on here, making comments about Jon & Kate’s marriage and their lives as if they believe they have some God given right to judge Jon and Kate and Their relationship! Both Jon and Kate are just a normal couple trying to live their lives as normal as possible with a pack of babies and cameras in their faces. Give them a break. Kate may get stressed out easily and does seem to have a particular order to the way things get done (down to the most minute details), but really, How would YOU run a house full of small/ young kids? Do you think you could do any better at keeping them happy, fed, clean, growing, educated, & still remember to give them all love and alternating independence when they need it??? I know I couldn’t. Kate is high strung and Jon is more laid back but they balance each other out pretty well in my opinion.

I watch the show all the time. Those of you who are bashing the family obviously don’t want the show. This is television people not reality. The shows are edited to make it interesting to viewers. The bickering between the parents is emphasized for viewer’s entertainment. If you watched the show from the beginning you would know that Jon was somewhat of a wild child when he was younger. He had kids when he was young and I don’t blame him for wanting to go out with friends to have a good time. I highly doubt he was out at a bar kissing on other woman. He is a smart man and loves his family. Why would he risk everything when he knows someone would recognize him? I think all the people on here who are bashing the family have no time on their hands and just want to stir up trouble. Jon and Kate will get through this and Kate knows the truth.

To Jon and Kate: Please keep doing the show. I am in love with your family. Your children are so adorable and make great television. Please keep taking great care of Cara, Mady, Alexis, Adian, Collin, Hannah, Leah, and Joel and give them lots of love. I am extremely impressed what you do with the children and how you handle them.

As a former early childhood educator who has counseled many parents through the years, I began watching Jon & Kate from the beginning.
I believe their faith in God and love for each other and their children will get them through this time of struggle. I believe Jon is an IT Specialist and does work from home. Anyone who has watched this show for a long time, will notice Kate has changed some since writing her books and touring the country. She has been on talk shows, etc. creating a more celebrity persona. Hopefully her beliefs and faith will help her to remember Jon is head of the family; Kate should work on being less critical of him in front of the cameras.
Both parents need to get a stronger grip on the attitudes of Mady and Cara. They are beautiful little girls who just need to be reminded who is boss – their parents. Anyone who has taught preschool or worked in any type of daycare setting knows how difficult it is to take care of six children for even a few hours a day. They do it 24/7 and do it well. Praise them, praise their family and their willingness to share with all of us a small portion on their family life. May God give them peace from all the statements; may He grant Kate more tolerance and love towards her husband; and may Jon continue to walk in Faith and Love for his wife and family doing what is best for all the Gosselin’s. Of course, I selfishly hope to continue seeing them year after year and watch those adorable children grow into outstanding teen boys and girls. God bless you all.

Jon and Kate showed consistency in disciplining their children, pick up your toys, no whining, go to your corner, eat with a napkin please, don’t pull out your hair band, and on and on. They did object and whine and it was annoying to listen to them.
Then I saw them at four, and they can take them any where with good manners and self restraint.

Makes me wish I had done that with my two, and they have done it with 8, good job K and J.

I am amazed at all the shocking statements about 2 wonderful parents doing a great job. It’s easy to sit back and make comments having not walked in their shoes.

Kate’s personality is perfect for the job she has w/8 children. Jon is a loving father and also doing a great job. God orchestrated this family and my prayers are with them all! Keep up the wonderful job, Jon&Kate and remember, “Count it all joy when you go through various trials.”(James 1:2) The Lord is with you all.

Despite what is reported in the media Jon is a good man facing his 30’s in public. Kate is a good mom and I believe she loves Jon with all her heart. They live in a fish bowl. Everything is out there for everyone to comment on. If people would think about their worst days and then be on display for the world to see & hear repeatedly you wouldn’t go out of the house ever. Good marriages go thru difficult times. When Kate says something snippy on an episode it is replayed over & over again. What we don’t see is Kate talking to Jon later in bed and working thru problems. Everyone assumes “bitch”. That is wrong! Jon goes to work the next day and some young “chick” makes the comment to him “if you were my husband I’d treat you better”. Well chick “you have no clue how hard it is to be on display. Kate tries and so does Jon. They are human. They make mistakes. Jon needs an accountability partner. A strong, wise man who he can trust and talk things through with. A man he can be real with and help him feel better about life. Quit thinking divorce and think reconcilation.

It really upsets me that people have nothing better to do that start rumors about Jon and Kate, they have an amazing family, with that many kids of course their is going to be conflict between the two from time to time, any marriage would. Asfar as a divorce, so not likely, those kids are their world and if there were problems, they would seek help to get the marriage back together. I will say the last few episodes seem like they were having problems, but I think it is a ploy to get another season, the kids are older now and the ratings might drop if their is no drama. Anyway, I will continue to watch. I think Jon and Kate are amazing parents, who just need to spend more alone time for their relationship to stay strong. So the jealous people stop talking shit about them, get a life!!

Jon and Kate love their children, that much is obvious. What’s heartbreaking is the way Kate is always nagging and cutting Jon down in FRONT of the kids. Believe me, I know first hand what this can do to kids. My daughter-in-law does the same thing. Recently my 3 year old granddaughter told me her daddy ( my son) was stupid. Those little ears pick up nasty hurtful remarks and even though everyday life can be overly stressful Kate needs to THINK before she speaks. Although from what I can see from the show so far is that she always gets her way ( she wanted “one” more child…..she wants another season). I suppose I can see why she wants another season. Her kids are going to have to pay for that new house.

I love all the comments about how Kate is such a witch, I’d bet my bank account that they don’t have kids. I give kudos times 20 to her for being the INCREDIBLE woman she is. It takes a very unique and wonderful individual to raise eight children who happen to be comprised of two sets of multiples. I think she has done an exceptional job raising those children, much better than most parents do raising just one child. She just wants what’s best for her family and who can blame her for going out of her way to ensure that, whether or not she comes off like a ‘witch’ to others.

But to comment on what this is all really about, Jon’s cheating (or not cheating). I really just hope it’s not true. As some others have said, it’s the kids who would suffer. Furthermore, I can’t imagine the humiliation their family would face. In a situation like this, it would really be unfortunate that their family happens to be very famous. We all know how ruthless the paparazzi is and that if this thing really takes off, they’re never going to live it down.

When you watch the show in the beginning, Jon actually has ownership of his testicles. As the show progressed, Kate did a very good job of putting the testes into a lock box. Very common in women who are controlling.
This is Jon’s way of trying to unlock his testicles from this box over the last 10 years.
These usually end up in divorce, unhappy marriages and cheating.
The happy ones are where the woman treats the man like a man, not like a boy.
Women will read this and dismiss these comments. The smart ones will listen to what I am trying to say.

I watch the show because as a mother of 2 small children I can’t fathom having 8 small children to wrangle day in and day out. In my opinion Jon and Kate do an awesome job. They feed their kids healthy meals, she does little projects with them, they attend church and they give the kids as many life experiences as possible. I don’t know what more a parent can offer their children. I appreciate Kate’s organization and believe that if she didn’t run a tight ship everything would unravel quickly. As a parent it is easier to summons patience for you children and sometimes when dealling with a spouce or another adult it isn’t as easy. For the benefit of a tv audience and ratings 30 min a week we see a tiny snipit of their life and probably only the most extreme interpersonal interactions whether positive or negative. I don’t think Kate emasculates Jon. Jon is mellow and Kate is high strung and it works. If it didn’t the stress of 8 kids would have destroyed them a long time ago.

Do you always talk nicely to your children? Are you ever negative, frustrated or just plain pissed off in the course of your day. I say, film it! Let’s take a look at YOUR life.

I can honestly say that at times I would be embarassed by my own behavior because, hey, I’m not a perfect person…nor are any of you sitting in the “condemnation seat”. Let’s just say, I like to clean my own closet before I start cleaning others’.

I hate to see another family split up so I do hope this is a false rumor.

However, with that stated, I do find Kate’s attitude on the show to be demeaning and borderline abusive towards her husband. This is no way would be an excuse for mistreating his wife, but if it were true, it would be understandable. It serves as a reminder that in a marriage, we should try to remember to be respectful to one another.

I also agree with an earlier commentator. The twins come off as complete brats. If Kate devoted more time to concentrating on them as she does bashing Jon, maybe their attitudes would be better. They are likely just emulating the attitude portrayed by mom.

At the same time, I think Kate is irritated by Jon’s laid back attitude. I think if Jon’s perspective was a little more serious, Kate would lay off him a little more.

Just because you may not agree with who she is as a person doesn’t make her a bitch, she has a very strong personality. I would really hope you would not treat others the same or raise your children with those morals! For the person that made the comment about the 16 yr old having a baby, Um yea, the world would be a better place if individuals like you were depleted! How do you know she wasn’t raped and chose to keep that baby? How do you know anything about her life to make a judgment call like that? Who do you think you are? Perhaps instead of everyone dictating others and gossiping maybe you better take a look at your own life. Many complain/bitch because they are miserable.
Whatever happened to kindness and support? I truly hope none of you that bitch about Kate have children because as a parent who would wish for another parent to not have their kids (unless abusing them)? Shame on you… No one is perfect and we all have our perks about germs, clean homes, and what we eat. Hell isn’t that why Americans are so damn over weight? So remember next time, if you were to get into an accident would you want a person to stop and help or just go by and let you die alongside the road? Why is it so hard for individuals to be kind and give the benefit of the doubt? Why are those so easy to pass judgment? What a great way to teach our upcoming generation to be.

I wouldn’t blame Jon for anything he does. How he puts up with Kate is beyond me. She is selfish and very demeaning to Jon. The bad part is—Mady is just like her. I have never heard more excuses for a childs behavior and Kat is the one making the excuses. They both need a swift kick in the ass. Kate has to be the one that thought something up first, that always has to be first. What kind of example is that for 8 kids? Go ahead Jon, do your thing.

I really enjoy watching this show. The children are darling, which the exception of Mady, who truly needs counseling. At times, the little girls try to emulate her; which is most unfortunate.

I wonder if this business regarding Jon’s possible indiscretions is simply a publicity stunt to draw up fans for the new season. I certainly hope so!!!

It’s really sad to hear how so many people are bashing this couple. No one is perfect. People make mistakes. People give up way too easy these days. Hence possibly the reason for the high divorce rate.Sure Kate may be a little much, but she’s still a great mom. Sure they have made money, that comes with having a show. Who wouldn’t want to make money to be able to stay home to raise your kids? I remember the episode when Jon left to go take care of his mom and she was left with the kids. If he did go out partying and did what is rumoured, then she would have anger and that is how it comes out. However, if he did go around kissing people etc. then where are those pics? I’m sure someone would of taken a pic of that? I agree with the statement; if you don’t like the show don’t watch. I still love the kids and will remain a loyal fan.

WOW…what don’t you people understand. Kate has eight kids! Jon made the decision to get married, say the vows and have kids. It is his responsibility to help kate, dah because he is the father and the husband. How about any of you have eight kids and try to be all fake and nice all the time…it’s called stress and being a mother. I’m not even a mother yet and I understand how she feels. Everyone can point the finger and write and little message like they are better than everyone else. I have watched the show many times and she is a great mother and focuses everything on her KIDS. I can garentee that Kate is a better parent than all of you out there complaining because you have nothing better to do than bitch. People need to stop with the whole money issue because anyone who complains about Jon and Kate having money is just plain jealous! I would love to have all their money, sure, who wouldn’t. That doesn’ t give anyone the right to say crap about Jon and Kate. I hope that Jon didn’t cheat because that is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. I hope he is a better man than that and thinks about his kids first that other nasty women.

I think it’s unfortunate that this transpired. I love this family as if they were my own. Things might get crazy but I believe they are all deeply committed to one another. Despite some people’s views on Jon and Kate as individuals, I agree with those who view their flaws as a beautiful piece of what makes them special as a family. I believe they compliment eachother perfectly as a couple, as parents, as friends and a team. I hope any and all doubts can be cleared for those personally affected and they can grow as a family and couple through this. I highly doubt Jon would sacrifice everything he has with Kate and each of his 8 precious children for some 23 year old girl. Kate might give Jon a hard time, and some others may make jokes about Jon’s intelligence but we all know he’s not really dumb, carefree maybe. Anyway, I just pray this family grows and strengthens through these hard times, whether true or untrue, and never loses touch with what’s most important to them. I LOVE YOU GOSSELIN FAMILY!
Love a fan of your family,

I think it’s sad that everyone has to make such negative comments about these children and the parenting skills or lack there of. I have a degree in behavior analysis, which has a lot ot do with parenting styles and techniques that are most beneficial, and from what I’ve seen, and I’ve probably seen every episode…which I admit, is only a glimpse of their lives, but I believe it shows enough for me to draw some conclusions….they do a SUPERIOR job as parents…not to mention parents of EIGHT beautiful, smart, healthy, funny, lovable kids. As for some people’s comments on Maddy and Cara. They are COMPLETELY different personalities. I have seen Maddy disciplined more than once, and always for an excellent reason and done correctly. I also believe Jon and Kate “slack”—for lack of a better word—sometimes on discipline because kids are gonna be kids…come on let’s be real!!! And can you imagine all the personalities in that house!!!…you have to be flexible and respect differences within the family. I definitely disagree with Cara being in the background….Maddy’s strong, independent personality, which can be seen as defiant at times, just makes for good tv. so Cara may be portrayed as the sweet, caring, peace-maker, behind the scene glue within the children. Mark my post Maddy WILL make it far in this world with that spitfire personality. She may not be easy….but she’s a deep girl. And Cara’s gonna find her niche in some caring motherly roll where she’ll be completely happy and fulfilled…like teacher or doctor/nurse. That’s what I love about the show…. the way it’s portrayed and edited you really get to see each individual personality shine through. I just love them!!

I like the show, think the kids are wonderful, but I am disturbed by how Kate treats Jon. Also became more upset when they got 2 German Shephards. As a dog trainer and behaviorist, getting two puppies when things are not exactly optimum in the family was not a good idea. Thankfully, they have a crew with them that can also make sure dogs are taken care of. The children and dogs will surely suffer in this.

I believe that there are problems..it was inevitable that Jon would have lasted this long. I hope he sticks it out and they get counseling….maybe they need a break from the public.

Hey i really like jon and kate plus eight but i dont think that it is fair what is happening. Kate and jon are bickering all the time on tv and its not right. I think that maybe jon needed a little time alone but that still is no reason for that behavior like running around drunk at parties with teenage girls that is so unacceptable to me. i still like both of them but they need to settle this because they kinda have eight kids and they cannot just split up. i think also that maybe jon is stressed because he is always taking care of eight kids. I really like the show and i think that maybe it is just jons natural reaction and it will just be one little phase so they will work it out soon!!!!!!!!

I do believe that Kate loves her children I think she loves jon . I do believe that on the show she treats Jon bad. That is not setting a very good example to her children.We had to stop watching the show because my 6 year old daughter kept asking me why she yells at Jon so much. I realized by watching this she might think its ok to treat someone like this. And as a women and mother I think to myself would I want my husband to treat me like that and would I want my children to see him treat me like that. There has been a couple of times I could see in Jons face that he was sad. I mostly saw it on the show that was about their funny moments caught on camera, but instead it end up being about how bad Jon is, he really looked hurt with everything Kate said. And someone said that they are a regular couple so leave them along thats not true they are a reality show family and thats it they are tv stars and they know it .When I see them in town she acts like she is all that. And i’m not saying that Jon is a victim because he’s not. He is just as bad as her for cheating on her that is awful especially after renewing there vows.

In my opinion, both Jon and Kate are awesome. I do believe that both of them get a little flustered at times with the everyday stress of being parents of 8. Howevere, i think they are both wonderful and do a great job. What household of 8 chidren wouldn’t be under the stress of divorce. In my persnal opinion, they still both love each other, however, under the stress they both endure on a daily basis, there is is indeed going to be some marital issues. Kate is a wondeful mom as well as a wonderful wife, however, she needs to meet Jon half way and quit blaming him when he works all day and she is left with the kids. I am a mom and I realize it kinda sucks, however, he is doing his part to make a living and still comes home evetry night and tries to be helpful. I am a mother of @2 and I love my husband, but once work is done, that’s it, I get very little help. I think both Jon and Kate are wonderful and as much as it may be stressfulon them, I believe they both understand that they are incredibly blessed and will see through this and make things work. Not saying my being a mother of 2, 4 years apart is even comparible to what they go through on a daily basis, but I think they are both wonderful individuals who love each other, as well as there kids and will see through this. If that turns out not to be the case, i will still respect both as wonderful people!!

i know everyone has their opinions of what is going on with the family. i think that though jon might have been doing something very innocent, he did in fact put himself in a situation that is very suspicious and probably not something a married man should do regardless of whether or not he/she is in the spotlight. as for kate, i think it is wrong of people to bash others about what kind of mother she is. unless someone has been in her identical situation i think that no one should ever feel like they can judge anothers life especially if the tv only shows them what they decide to air. to say she should never see her children or only on the weekend is wrong who are we to pass judgment? but regardless i think that recently kate has been more edgy for lack of a better word and i think that it has in fact affect the marriage. but as i said we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes and what happens really between jon and kate especially all we see is them in stressful situations and at the commentary couch. perhaps i am naive but i do believe that it their private life is none of our business and the only thing that is our business is what we see on the screen. and what i have seen is an extraordinary family with parents who work hard one hundred percent of the time. Even if they do have problems between the adults

I mean, the people who are bashing her and stuff, their probably just jealous. Jon and Kate are lucky you guys, they have this hugely popular show, which is bringing them money to feed, clothe, and actually some what spoil their kids, i mean, they arent spoiled rotten or anything but they have it good, a beautiful home and pretty good parents. If Kate and Jon just were all happy and never said no because they were on tv, just think what those kids would turn out like!

I have seven kids. I have many friends with large families or multiples. Our marriages are successful and our kids are thriving because we have worked hard at respecting and listening to our spouses, treating our children as sensitive individuals, and creating warm, private family time even if it has meant the dishes stack up in the sink, the house is a mess, and the kids outfits don’t match! This can not be done with cameras rolling. It simply can’t. Kate (with her beaten up hubby in tow) has created a charming TV series. But her family is a mess–if she values it, she will send TLC packing and tend to her kids and marriage before she has a brood of very disturrbed and angry children and not a friend in the world.

How many of us have children that have never made a mess, or gotten dirty playing in the mud???? For the childrens sake I would like to see the two of them work it out. However, that will never happen unless Kate takes a good long look in the mirror. On a recent episode she was screaming at this man for spending $50.00 dollars on something without taking a coupon. They are making $75.000 an episode, let up a little. I am not one to waste money either, but shouldn’t we pick our battles??? I know many women, including myself that would love to have a husband like Jon. I believe that he loves his children and maybe even his wife. He is just tired of being treated like one of the kids.

Kate needs to realize this is the 20th century 50/50 she needs to listen to John sometimes instead of always passing out orders and try working together. Sometimes she whines and that why some of the kids whine alot. They see their mom doing it all the time. She just needs to do what needs to be done. Think about what single mothers go through.

And no, they won’t be getting a divorce. They have a contract with TLC, which includes bookoo bucks, includes the whole family, and either of them would be retarded to give it up. I believe they’ll wait until ratings sink, keep having their discreet fun, and get a divorce when the craze is over.
Sure Kate is bossy, and probably a tad demeaning…but have you looked at her life? She has 8 kids, when she only wanted 3. I’m pretty sure you would become a bit controlling too or everything would be crazy all the time. Don’t underestimate these moms and dads with multiple children, they’re dealing with a lot more than you think!

I highly doubt that they’re getting a divorce. If one ever watched the show, they would know that he is really a nice and responsible guy. They just got they’re vows renewed, and they seem genuine. I would be truly heartbroken if I seen this family split.

I think some of you people have went off the deep end and may qualify as “butterfly net material”.
I’ve watched every episode along with my kids and I can say I really have not seen those kids “work” in any episode. If you idiots that are claiming they pimp their kids are suggesting that going to amusement parks, trips to hawaii to swim with sea turtles, and pudding painting are “work” then hell…SIGN ME UP! If you consider THAT work then all in the world that tells me is you people saying these things are the ones who have never worked a hard day in your life…because to those of us who KNOW what work is…we consider those things…PLAY.
Hell yeah Kate’s bossy. She has 8 kids. You try having 8 SMALL children and both parents being chilled and relaxed and “just do whatever you please” attitude and you just see how quickly one of them ends up DEAD. Wow…especially to that nutjob flying off the handle about ..”We HAVE stopped watching! They USED to be a wholesome family and now they just get free this and free that”….lady, wow, jealousy is really not ANYONE’S good point and that includes you. Get the hell over it. So they get free crap and your family doesn’t…so WHAT! That all of a sudden makes them a BAD family because they get free crap by allowing their lives to be filmed? If you’re THAT jealous over it (and don’t say you aren’t. everyone on here has just seen how true it is…you are GREEN with envy) then find your rump a way to get on the boob tube and get your family some free crap as well and stop WHINING about it.

To: The haters of the show— Do us all a favor, save your breath and change the channel! To: The lovers of the show— Rock on season 5!

Now, on to my comments:

Kate- Is a loving mother, a tad bit controlling (but what woman isn’t?) I think she is a well-rounded individual. She’s responsible, organized, clean, has manners, thoughtful and is the glue of the family. She has a lot on her plate and seems to keep it all together, more than I can say for most who have only half of her woes. I adore and admire her. Yes, she has her phobias, so do i. Yes, she can be sarcastic, so can i. Yes, she is a neat/clean freak, so am i. Hhhmmm…sounds like she’s a normal person huh? Go figure.

Jon- Is a loving father who can be in the zone at times and needs redirection (just telling the truth). He has his own way of doing things, which is fine, everyone does. People shouldn’t pity him or feel bad for him, for what? He is in this relationship with Kate because evidently he loves her and wants to be with her.

The 8 Little Ones- They are adorable and very much loved. I believe they will grow up to be well-rounded individuals who have had the great pleasure of living their lives much grander than expected upon their arrival. That is awesome! They have been able to experience more than most kids will ever experience well beyond their ages, and I am truly happy for them.

Jon & Kate: It is their lives, let them live it their way. We all have our hangups, but fortunately we don’t have ours broadcast for the world to see! Nobody is perfect and if you can’t help but put these people down all the time then shame on you. You must be a miserable person yourself!

WE LOVE YOU JON&KATE plus 8 little ones!!!

I want to take the time to congratulate TLC for making such big bucks in these horrible economic times. This scandal is just what they needed.

I think if TLC had any morals they would not be producing this show any longer. They are only adding pain to these childrens lives by showing this. It may not be now that they see these shows but later when they are trying to fix their lives from haveing two screwed up parents they will see the shows.

SO! TLC have some taste and waste the show in the trash. Do you really want to be part of it any longer?

As for Jon and Kate, They are adults and so be it if they want to air their dirty laundry on TV. But, leave the children alone.

“Mommy why did you steal those pine cones and why did you make me sleep on the cold floor of the laundry room when I was sick”
“Mommy why did you want to throw my stuffed animal in the trach because I got gum on my bunny”
“Daddy why were you photographed with that lady”

For all the negative comments about how kate is horrible and how they should get a divorce: Do you not have a heart? If you think Kate is such a horrible person and mom, look how GREAT the kids turned out? Raising eight children needs structure and I praise the way Kate has raised her children. I understand that they have gotten a lot of special opportunities through the show but it has in no way hurt the children and they would not have gotten the opportunity to explore otherwise. Give their family a break. Its all this gossip that is destroying their family. So stop! It breaks my heart to even think of anything bad happening to their family.

Wow, who is seriously “hoping the rumors aren’t true”? They don’t see each other but at a Birthday party. They can’t even look at each other. You’d think they would burst out of that couch-they’re so tightly pressed against the outer edge so as to not touch. He’s got an “I’m so cool” tan, upper lip hair growth and disheveled look that says “I’m kickin’ it with a 23 year old babe”, and his hair spiked up like he’s in a boys band..and you think this is all because he made a bad decision to stay out a bit late for a drink and a picture with “a fan”. That’s it? That’s the reason that they can’t even say what’s going on tomorrow or the next day? She says she’s doing this for the kids only. He says, ya, well I love my kids too. They talk like they are holding this thing together with a thread…for the sake of the kids…BECAUSE HE TOOK A PICTURE WITH A FAN? Really people, you don’t need a lie detector in this case. This whole episode screams “I HAD AN AFFAIR..AND AM STILL HAVING ONE, AND I DON’T THINK I’M GOING TO EVEN STOP HAVING ONE SO I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH US(KATE AND JON) AND REALLY DON’T CARE”. And you are still ‘hoping that the rumors aren’t true”?

And I think that if I had 8 kids and was busy taking care of them all the time, and my husband is doing the wild thing with a 23 year old, I’d be really bitchy and pissed off too. I’m sorry, but I believe if you change your mind about the person you married, you need to be a man and step forward and be truthful and then make a decision. Staying together for the kids is never the best thing to do. They feel the tension regardless. It’s usually a relief for the kids when a couple in that situation gets the divorce and starts being real and human like they used to be.

I think he should stay with his young blond and she should take on the lifeguard and continue taking care of the kids like she’s been doing.

Lastly, I was abused as a child-to the point of the state nearly prosecuting her for the abuse. But, I can say one thing, parents that think you should let your children run wild and “do what they want” are the reason we have so many disrespectful kids and eventually rude self-centered adults. Good for her for keeping order in the house. You’re supposed to raise your children-not let them run wild like animals.

Amen, to Nickie’s comment! People do need to remember that we are all sinners. Kate and Jon both admit their faults. It’s easy to judge, but we need to look at ourselves first. ALL OF YOU who want them to divorce—evil-thinking!!! Talk about “karma?” Watch out!!! All this bad talk is stirring strife. Man’s way is not God’s way!

All the negativity about their money and parenting. How many people spend what they make? How much good are these people doing with their money? Alot of privileges come with the show, and they were given gifts. They didn’t ask for them. Even my four children want to send them gifts. Kate always thought about teaching them to think of others…..they love their children, they are disciplined, they give it their best, and the children are little sinners, too. But they love each other.

Kate and Jon need to get their love back. Their committment to each other to work it out. To put the other first…agape love. God’s love. Love in action is true. Feelings are fleeting.

If we are nice people, we will want the family to work out…not gloat and laugh at them. Pray for them and for you (readers) to think and do right.

Dear Jon and Kate plus 8,
Hello i am 16 and i watch your show frequently and i am so amazed with your desire and courage to manage 8 children. You are doing such a wonderful job, even though you are not perfect (no one is) you bring a new meaning to parenting.

As you know rumours have been circling about your family, these rumours are completely hurtdul and disrespectful however I know in my heart you are handling this current situation well to the best of your abilities. You clearly understand, that your children come befere anything and everything, and I deeply admire your courage.
You have brought a greater understanding of how to handle ones self professionally.
As for possible divorce circumstances, i believe both of you kate and Jon can get through anything. As i always say, “life is a challenge, with many obastacles to overcome you just have to find your way,”
I believe God gives us these challenges in life because he knows you can get through them, along with God i know you can get through this.

Sincerely Sarah:)

yesterday I watched reruns all day. Did you notice the body language during the interviews. Kate sat as close to the end as she could. Legs crossed and body bent away from Jon. She barely let Jon comment on anything unless it was to agree with what she was saying. He even complimented her on how well she looked in clothes and she scoffed at that with a corrective comment and eyes rolling to the heavens. I’m glad I was able to see Jon interact with his kids at the baseball game. He appeared to be able to handle them just fine without someone constantly in his ear that he was doing something wrong. And this is not to say his “cheating” is condoned or understood. I’m just saying there is no reason she should belittle him as much as she does. One other thing I noticed. Kate has more help now than before yet she really had to show how tired she was and express continuously how she was doing it alone. I personally think she knew there were problems and was planning to continue the show putting up a front. Sadly Jon was photographed with another woman and things started coming out and now things had to be addressed. Too many of the last shows showed they were not taped as a complete family. Funny, if your husband is away taking care of his mother, why would you emphasize how you’re doing things alone instead of showing concern for someone else? Just makes me think. My best wishes to them all, take a break, seek help and try to mend your family back together or learn how to co-exist. The 8 of Jon & Kate Plus 8 are innocent. Put what’s best for them first for once. And staying together in a bad marriage is not always better.

I don’t think some of these people here even watch the show. For the past 2 years Kate has been travelling out of the home and Jon had to quit his job and been “stuck” (as it was mentioned-not my word) at home with the kids. Sooo there goes that excuse for her behavior. My wife loves to watch it for the kids, but I can’t stand to watch the way she talks and orders him around. I try to hold my tongue, but my wife makes me leave the room most of the time. I saw part of the new episode and it’s a big wake-up call for her to try and do things on her own. She had members of the tv crew helping her get things done with the kids because she refused to ask Jon. She couldn’t help herself but order him around even though they weren’t speaking otherwise though, then she turns to the camera and smiles and winks. She has a bad spirit about her. Yes, she went to San Diego with Maddie alone, it’s in the episode, and there’s plenty of rumors of her boyfriend. I believe Jon would like to reconcile, but she wants her freedom. I think they should try the Love Dare (Google it), it would prob be the only thing to save their marriage. It is based on the premise that at least one person is committed to the marriage, and can be done without the other person knowing.

What is really disturbing to me is how selfish she is. For a marriage to work both people have to give and take. Jon has expressed MANY times, over YEARS, how he hates being on the show and ‘feels like he’s in prison’. He physically LOOKS horrible, like he’s just giving up. If you were a wife and your other half has expressed this to you for so long and is OBVIOUSLY unhappy most of the time….why would you ignore it and push on like he doesn’t matter? Thats her one flaw and if this show continues I foresee a horrible tragedy in these kids lives.

I really enjoy this show, and it infuriates me how ignorant people can be. Just because you watch a TV show doesn’t mean you really know Kate or Jon as a person. I especially love the posts on here that claim “Kate is doing the show for the limelight.” Or “She loves the attention!” and “Stop doing the show for the kids sake.” Are you serious?

Let’s think logically, did it ever occur to any of you that they are doing the show to benefit the kids! How many family vacations do you think they can afford without the show? How about the all the family outings? How about the new house where the kids have room to play? Or even the bare essentials like food for a family of 10! Jon and Kate are doing what they need to do to survive, and at the end of the day they have tons of footage to enjoy and look back on when they’re older.

I was one of 5 kids; we didn’t get to enjoy the many things that those wonderful kids are experiencing because our family just couldn’t afford it. I also bet many of the people posting here don’t even have kids! It’s a full time job with one or two children, let alone two sets of multiples. If anything Kate and Jon have been wonderful parents. I was a wreck when my son went through teething, can you imagine 6 babies teething at once, it pains me just to think about it. They did it though; they managed to find a ways to make it work. I have faith that this couple will find a solution that works best for their situation (In my book if you can survive six terrible twos you can survive just about anything!) I’m not going to point fingers, because that’s unfair.

Maybe Jon really did cheat with a college girl (shame on you if you did! If that is the case it makes sense that he suddenly no longer wants to be in media.) However, people are saying Kate cheated too, who knows for sure…just them.

Jon and Kate are both human, neither perfect, that’s how real life is. I doubt anyone posting on here is the perfect parent, wife, husband, daughter, brother…you get the idea; I only ask that you remember that before writing rude and unnecessary comments on this page. Bottom line, they are wonderful parents blessed with 8 miracles, and things will work them selves out.

I have seen small snipets of the show but never watched an entire episode but for some reason, I have just read all these comments. You know, it is hard to be a stay at home parent and you do feel isolated. I am sure that, coupled with the fact that they had so many children so young, Jon is feeling the need to step out and party. Too bad! He is a dad and a husband and he has to step up to the plate and act like one. That’s what happens when you become a parent. As for Kate, I am sure it is difficult to run a household with 8 children when you perceive your husband is not helping. You should never belittle him on national television though! And please, don’t whine and complain. We know it is difficult but it is not easy for many people and she really has many blessings for which she needs to be thankful. If she could take a deep breath and relax some, maybe she could enjoy this precious time that is fleeting quickly, just a little more. I understand it is part of her personality but if she could agree that perfection was not necessary, she really could perhaps relax a bit and probably would be happier. As for their relationship, I hope they will work on it but I really think this show is a bad idea. Years from now these little ones, who I am sure they think they are doing this for now, are going to look back at these films and instead of seeing the home movies we all have of ballgames, Christmas and birthday parties, they will see mom and dad arguing over coupons or accusations of dad’s infidelity. Don’t put them through that. Plenty of children grow up happily without all the perks you get from this show. Are they nice? Ofcourse! But which do you think will mean more in the long run…a trip to some exciting destination or parents who played ball with them and caught lightening bugs and read bedtime stories? What are they modeling to their children? Is this the kind of marriage they want them to have? I really hope the marriage lasts and they can find joy. There is no need for any of us to watch this or for them to put their family through this. It is just not worth it! I am sure they have money stashed away and even if not, they can support their family…maybe not in the style to which they have grown accustom but they can provide what they need. Besides having marketable skills, their name will still sell. I think ditching the whole TV thing is putting the children first.

You have to think…they are on camera!! i know damn well if someone followed me around my house ALL the time they would catch me yelling at my kids to clean up and behave!! same thing with the husband he gets yelled at too…does’nt mean i’m a mean or anal person…it means I’m human!! and i have been accused of cheating in the past…it was’nt true but i was accused of it…because a man bought me a drink!!! if you are human i’m sure at one point you have been falsley accused of something in the past!! we all have!!!do i belive jon went out and partied…hell yes!! he is a young man, and no matter who you are if you are a parent you will understand what it’s like to need to get away and just be an adult sometimes and not just mom/dad! most of the time they are home with thier kids which is alot more than i see most parents doing today!! Do I belive he cheated? well anything is possible and i agree with one point…kate needs to take it a little easy on him..she points out his weight all the time and he does’nt like it…so she needs to let that go…but as parents..i see them with the kids ALL the time…they need to remember to take time to be jon and kate and not just jon and kate plus 8!!
it does’nt matter where the money came from or if thier kids made them famous…thier kids will be provided for due to thier stardom!! I for one respect jon and kate for everything they do for thier kids and how they take thier kids all over and do everything for thier kids…if they made a little money out of it to secure thier kids future then thats a bonus for them!!! i would do the same…and if you watch jon and kate…at least it shows them as real people and not just a fake family where everything is good all the time…u want a perfect family go watch reruns of the brady bunch!!! no one is perfect but at least they admit that! they are human…get over it!! and don’t watch if ur just looking for faults…they are an awsome family and watch the show u will see how close this family really is…ok that’s enough for me..off to watch jon and kate!!! lol

I am crushed that this story is under such rabid media attention. I pray for Jon & Kate and hope that the family can weather this awful storm. This is such a heartbreaking situation. Kate is too hard on Jon and it looks like Aunt Jodi just has to get her digs in!!! Some friend she has turned out to be for Jon & Kate. Is jealousy there for Kate’s brother & his wife? If I were them I would try to shield them rather than tattle to the press.

I have been watching the show since it started and Kate has changed sooo much. I really liked it but now since there is so much money involved you can tell she is different. The way she treats Jon awful. I think that TLC should shut the show down for the kids sake and Jon and Kate work on their marriage. I know that I am not watching anymore and also my coworkers are not either. The show table for 12 is a really down to earth family show and I feel it should replace Jon and Kate plus 8

Spelling is indeed important. Proper punctuation is a part of the English language, and is equally important. Using all caps is not proper. If your intent was to create the impression of screaming, or anger, you could have simply achieved that goal by using an exclamation mark. This is an observation I would have gladly overlooked, had you not went on your little rant.

Ok so I have read every single comment that was made on this site. I have to say that some of you folks really don’t get it. Let’s say that you are pregnant with six babies. What are you going to do? Hmmmm! let’s see I would be very scared for the out come of my family simply because of the economics of things. Kate did what anyone would do in order to give her children a chance on living comfortably. She eased the hardships of not having and struggling. At the beginning we all see that she was home with the children by herself, Jon worked all the time. as the show progressed it was apparent that things got easier for all of them. Good for them they feed off the world’s addiction to reality TV and developed a better lifestyle for their children. As for Kate and her “work”. Look it is simple, she was home with the children everyday all day for years. I am sorry but it is now Jon’s turn. She is writing books and working, he is at a point in his life where he doesn’t have to work. So don’t, stay home with your children. Because someday it will die down and there with be very little income and he will have to go back to work or worse pay child support. I am praying that this couple works things out because sure they asked for the public eye but we all know how mean people can be. It is all about greed with these people. I feel really bad about the situation. I like the show, I love the kids and I do like the relationship Jon and Kate have. It is very real, we all bicker. and with eight children I think that it is ok. while watching the new season shows I see the hurt in Kate. It is real people, this isn’t a joke. She is not an actress!!! So, like many have said in these posts you dont like it turn off the tv. If you do please support this family, no one wants to see children torn.

One Table for 12 gets where Jon and Kate where with fame and such, they will develop the same need and difficulties. Everyone at some point are in it for the money. it is human nature, we are in a society today that this is one way we know we can make money because viewers make it possible. As for spelling issues, find something else to be angry about, we are not all perfect and the world needs to learn to be kinder to others. Spelling doesn’t matter, the freedom to say what you want is. Pick your battles people!!!!

I have read in other blogs and postings that people hopes TLC cancels the show so Jon and Kate can work on their marriage. Bottom line is people should stop watching the show. Stop watching the show and TLC will cancel the show. Plain and simple. I am so happy we stopped watching this show a year ago. I wil never understand why people complain about something but yet tune into watch it adding fuel to the fire. STOP WATCHING THE SHOW and TLC will get the message

One more thing these people that say Kate was home alone with the kids all tis time while Jon was working. ARE YOU NUTS!. She has had help by either the crew or other people helping her. We stopped watching a year ago but I have never saw an episode before where she did not have some family member or somebody helping her with the kids either on vacation, at the store or at home. Give me a break. STOP WATCHING THE SHOW PEOPLE IT STINKS and you will be happier for it

As I have read the comments, everyone seems to be very hard on both Jon and Kate. I believe they need a week away to reconnect with each other. The publicity is really taking a toll on their marriage. By watching their show, they both seem like smart, fun people who only want the best for their children. Who would have known their show would have publicly escalated to this degree? Even if they do stop now, they will always have people watching them when they step off of their property. Kate admits that she is hard on Jon, but that is part of what makes it so interesting to watch. Just because people may think she is “bossy” doesn’t make her a horrible person. You can’t change peoples’ personalities. Would you watch the show if she was a soft-spoken, I-don’t-care attitude type of person? Probably not. Everybody’s different, and how dare people judge other people for their type of personality. When watching the show on Monday, Jon said he didn’t cheat….so take it as that. It amazes me how many people assume things that they don’t have any evidence to back up. I love watching this show, but if necessary, I believe they need to take a break. If they can work it out while still doing the show, more power to them. Jon and Kate really need to get away for a week…no kids, and DEFINITELY no cameras. It seems as though they have lost touch with each other in the midst of their crazy, everyday life. Every marriage has its hard times. It is probably 100 times harder for famous people. I think they are just overwhelmed with everything and don’t know where to turn. I would love to see them work it out, but if they don’t, it is only for their best interest. And like they say, they do everything for the kids’ best interest. I was pleased to see they still act normal around the kids. I am optimistic, because they are both very strong people. Even though I love this show, there comes a time when they need to ask themselves…”Is it really worth risking our relationship?” It would be fine if they even cut back on the episodes a little. They need to work this think out by themselves, and we, as viewers, cannot dictate how this should turn out.

This show should be cancelled. I will not be watching it again. It used to be about the children, but has grown into a “let me perform before the cameras” thing for Kate.
She worries about her hair, if a kiss or hug has messed up her makeup, if the little ones get stains on their clothing, she is even showing more of her breasts, wearing tight pants and struting around like a peacock. Sorry, Kate, your priorities have changed and it is so obvious. Don’t you see any of your shows. You try to control everything. You put Jon down, even in front of the kids and cameras. Pride and money have blinded your vision for now. Put Jon and the kids first, do talk shows, specials, write books, but get the family off the air. I will not continue to watch.
You both need counseling with your Pastor, with a professional counselor,
and you need to pray this thing through.
Stop the show now and your children won’t grow up to resent you. This is all affecting them more than you know. Do the right thing for the kids.
I loved the show in the beginning, but it is no longer fun and I do feel that the kids and Jon are being exploited against their will. Your in my prayers.
Everything happens for a reason. Maybe God allowed this to happen to bring honor to Himself. God healed this marriage, even when it was almost broken. Wouldn’t that make a great headline. Listen to God and it will happen. It is not God’s will for you to divorce. The kids will all be damaged emotionally. Continuing the show is not for the kids, it’s for the celebrity and the money. It’s so obvious to your fans.
I know you will do the right thing.

WOULDNT IT BE GREAT IF KATE COULD SPEND JUST 1 DAY IN JONS SHOES BEING CRITICIZED FOR EVERY MOVE SHE MAKES. SHE REALLY DOESNT GET IT JUST HOW MEAN SHE IS TO JON AND HER ANALNESS WILL BE DIRECTED MORE TOWARDS THE KIDS AS THEY GROW UP. CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING A MOM LIKE HER? YIKES! THEY ARE BOTH ANGRY, BAD CHOICES WERE MADE BY JON AND KATE IS MAD. SHE WANTS THE MONEY AND THE SHOW, HE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THEY WILL END UP DIVORCED AS THEIR KIDS ARE NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO NEITHER OF THEM TO WORK IT OUT. KATE, GET READY TO LIVE WTIHOUT A MATE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE NO MAN, I REPEAT NO MAN WOULD TAKE ON YOUR 8 KIDS. JON, GET READY FOR FAME, WOMAN AND PARTYING. ONE DAY YOU’LL WAKE UP, A NOBODY AGAIN AND HAVE NONONE.

They’ve gotten some things because of the show they wouldn’t have otherwise: hair transplant, tummy tuck, make-over, shopping sprees, etc. etc. He laughs more than she does, but she’s there all the time with all those kids.

Why are we bashing Kate Gosselin? Do you people watch the show? She has done a commendable job raising those kids! On the last episode of the little kid’s 5th birthday party, those children were so polite as to thank their mother for giving them the birthday party! If you also pay attention, she threw that birthday party HERSELF! No man, no help, just nagging and crying kids by her side. Not to mention the annoying paparazi following the family around everywhere they go! Honestly, who wouldn’t be a crab if you can’t have a decent party for your kids without crazed paid up people taking pictures of you? I don’t think Jon cheated either! How could a father of eight cheat on his own family? I see the strengths of this family, and I believe and hope that they can pull through and make this work! Good Job Gosselins!! You have already defeated the impossible! Just keep holding on, you’ll make it through!

Leave them alone. I have no idea why people waste there time talking about kate and jon and there family. Many couples maybe everyday have divorces. If they want a divorce o if it is even true let them. It is none of your buisness. Okay I think they were being a little too greedy with the money but its their money.They are a trainwreck I have to admit. What I think is in the first couple seasons not alot of screming and arguing. As the show became more popular I think there has been more crying and yelling in their house. They have had fun times but when will they ever have fun again. Better yet when will they be out of the publics eye. I think they started for the money and they kept going for the sake of the kids having a wonderful packed life. I think they went out of hand did something they werent supposed to and got cought. I believe Jon. Tell me why would Jon cheat on kate.I mean he has eight kids!!!! Who would be dumb enough.I think Kate has been leaving Jon alot with the kids while shes out meeting famous people and getting paid to talk about her life. I think thay are getting money for no reason. Its dumb. You have to understand they used and still is using us!! I think Jon just has been frustrated with being home with the kids while shes out having fun. Its not anyhting special having eight kids. As I said before they are getting money for no reason. Anyone that is able to have kids can have more than eight kids. Its not anything special as I already said. Thankyou for reading how I feel!!!!

I have watched the show for many years now. No, I do not think that Jon and Kate are “ideal” parents, but they are also not in an “ideal” situation. For those judging Kate, all I can say is that it is T.V and I am confident that TLC is only showing bad moments. Of course they (producers) are going to exaggerate and extend seemingly normal situations in order to get ratings. The fact of the matter is that they are a family that has their ups and downs like everyone else; theirs just happens to be on T.V. I would LOVE it if people would just STOP complaining about “bitchy” Kate and “lazy” Jon. Until you have been in their shoes…you have no room to judge.

(The parents are obviously through but that is alright because I honestly think Jon is a good man and Kate has let fame turn her into a snob!)

I would hope they could work it out , I do not feel that either off them are bad people.
This is sad because I just don’t think either of them realized what agreeing to the show meant. They may have not realized the effects of being in the public eye. There is alot of pressure.People say that when you put yourself in the public eye you have to be ready to take criticism but I do not feel that people have the right to be mean and cruel. I would hope audiences would be smart enough to see that they were just a normal family dealing with abnormal situations.
I’m sure we all understand that no one is perfect and that until people hear them actually say the information don’t believe anything.
It is sad that the kids have to go through this and I def feel the show should prob be over for the childrens sake because of the media explosion circulating the family.And one more thing I wouldn’t believe everything you hear from their other family members either because you never know what the relationships are like. People could just be saying things because of other motives.

He’s just a selfish low down piece of skum that needs to be an example to other men and grow up and take responsibility for himself and his life because when you have a family that is your life. You don’t get to go play anymore. Family is the number one thing in your life and if that person thinks otherwise then that person should have never had children no matter how wonderful they are. Also, is it not the law to have to take family counciling before a divorce can take place? I know it’s that way in some states.

It seems that all of these Reality TV shows are doomed for something negative (awful) to happen. Life is not suppose to be a Reality show, but we have now made it ‘Entertainment” . What breaks my heart is how in the world are these children going to cope. Jon and Kate are certainly not thinking of what the future holds for their children. Or are they??

Honestly I don’t understand why people are so cut up about Jon and Kate getting a divorce. Just because they are on tv and have 8 children doesn’t mean they are any different to any other married couple. People get divorced all the time, sure it sucks and it seems like its over nothing but does anyone other than Jon and Kate know EXACTLY what happened? All anyone knows are the rumours there may be a very good reason why they are separating. And yes it will affect the children and yes Jon and Kate did tell the children they will be together forever but it will be worse for the kids if they have to live in a family that doesn’t work. They wouldn’t do anything that they didn’t think was the best for their family.

Why does everyone think Kate is controlling? She has 8 kids for crying out loud! She has to show that she has at least some control otherwise her kids wouldn’t listen to her. And in case anyone else hadn’t noticed Jon isn’t exactly innocent either, he dishes it out as much as Kate does.

I totally agree with Sammy though, if they loved each other once it can happen again…
