Jon and Kate Gosselin finally have a bigger house for their huge family – looks like putting in all of that time on Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TLC has paid off. The Jon and Kate Plus 8 new house (rumored to be $1.3 million dollars) is reportedly located in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Check out more Jon and Kate Plus 8 new house photos after the jump.

I think it’s beautiful but way too big even for their family of 10. I don’t understand all the rooms…they seem large and too many and even for the Gosselins, it’s too much house. I hope they don’t take freebies any longer…if they surely can afford this house, they don’t need freebies.
Although I love their show, I think the purchase of this house is way over the top!!! Wow!!

With 10 people in a family, that house is definitely NOT way over the top!! The rooms aren’t that big either. I clean homes and believe me, those rooms with 10 people crammed into them at one time or another will be pleanty crowded. She needs a large kitchen if she is going to cook for a big family, and let’s face it, they now have 8 kids to help with yardwork and shoveling that great big driveway. I am sure they don’t have rooms for each of the kids, at best it will be a double up situation with only 5 bedrooms in that house and if they are lucky, 3.5 baths at best. With new houses today, that house is not luxurious either, it is a simple house for a simple family. It is NOT a mansion but they are blessed to have a nice piece of land. Remember, they had to sell the old house to help with this house and even if they paid cash for it or have a nice hefty mortgage, how many of us would want the media and millions of people in our homes every week scrutinizing and criticizing? If it were me in their place, there would have been a huge fence around the property!

I too am happy for them on the new house and am still in awe of it. I am so glad to hear they stayed in Pennsylvania as I live there too. Although I am sure it seems a bit over the edge to some, all you can really be is happy for them that they can make this all work. As a mother of twins, I know how hight the stats are on divorces in multiple birth families. This works for them. Who are we to say how they get through the day? They certainly needed some privacy to shield those children away from a public a little bit, plus when the camera crew is there I am sure that causes havoc in the neighorhood. Now they won’t have to deal with any of that. Good for them I say. I can’t wait to see all the new episodes from the new house.

For those interested, there is a short video from someone who drove by the new house on you tube: Look for The Gosselin’s New House after going to the youtube website.

ok we all know the gosselins are getting money from tlc and they say they get charitable donations for things all the time . i dunno i kinda feel like they dont desrve it maybe thats just me i know jon works hard and kate does to in her own right but these things are kinda given to them thru tlc because we all know and itt tech cant buy a 1.3 mill house with inly one salary coming in the show is the second salary . so thats why i feel they dont deserve it. but hey to each his own i guess it was just meant for them to have that many kids and get a show which helped them buy a home and take like 3 vacations a yr and totally over do there b-days i wonder what it would be like with out all the fame and help ?

I am really happy for them! I watched the show last night (the new episode about the house) and they kept encouraging their kids to be grateful and thankful, and they were. They are proud of their new home, just as they should be, and just as anyone else would be. Those that critize them, are truely just jealous, learn to be happy for others! Congrats Gosselin Family!

I saw the show on tv where they took the kids to see the house. They so need that much space. I have 3 kids now and one on the way and it don’t take long for space to get used up. Think alone how much space 9 beds take up. The kids are sharing rooms. There is a small room that one of the little girls will have alone because they said she gets headaches and needs to be able to sleep and wake up on her own. If she is with the other little girls she gets woken up. The boys share a room and the twins share a room. I am so happy they got that house. They deserve it. Those kids deserve it! They earned that house by the work they do for their show.

I have to say I hope Kate is saving enough money for The therapy the children will need in the future. This cannot be healthy to have your little lives televised al the time. Just look at Maddie- It wouldn’t surprise me if she turned out psycho. She has an evil side to her and I feel so sorry for Cara. I guess this show has done exactly what they wanted it to b/c talk about a free ride!!! and no I can honestly say I am not jealous! I have 4 lovely little girls that my husband and I have raised and on our own with out financial help from anyone. Jon & Kate can’t say that! I don’t see it lasting long b/c from what I understand TLC is slowing replacing them with The Duggers “18 and counting”. anyway this is just my opinion

Wow! I will find it a little difficult to watch this show now. I just will not be able to relate to them anymore. Hey Kate, I thought you were all about organic. The dish soap you used at your new house wasn’t the dish soap that lady brought to you in the organic episode.

Good for them to be blessed with this house, however they were blessed. Sounds like alot of jealous people to me.
Trust me..with that many children you need all the space possible. Just think of 8 teens trying to get ready for school and dates.
GREAT FOR YOU JON AND KATE!
BLESSINGS IN YOUR NEW HOME.

House is gorgeous, and yet I feel it’s a shame the other 11 families with sextuplets live a lot more modest and humble life. I want to have tons of kids and get a reality show! Jeesh. Also, sorry, but no good mother would tell her kids, “You’ll never step foot in this room again” regarding their new bedroom. Just ridiculous! What if they’re sick? I’d hate to be that sick child afraid of going into my own mother’s room!

I am also happy for the family. I am sure they receive free things, but they are very hard workers and they show gratitude for what is given to them. I think everyone should read the book Kate wrote before they judge the family. It opened my eyes with a lot of detail I never knew about the family.

It’s nice that all these people have their opinion of the Gosselins, but I say abide by the old adage, don’t say anything if you don’t have anything nice to say. So what if TLC or any other company for that matter pays them or gives them trips or what have you. That is their work, and they are compensated. It is their choice how they raise and take care of THEIR children. Some may feel it’s exploitation, but that is how they provide for their family. I wish I could meet them as I watch Kate and she is just like me in many ways, and if that is a fault, oh well. It all boils down to how they decide they need to afford for their family, it’s almost like they won the lottery!! No person is faultless, and I think they are doing a smashing job of raising their children. Kudos to the Gosselins!!!

I cant begin to understand why everyone is being so neagative towards this family. I really enjoy the show. I am sure Kate has to be a strong will woman to be able to handle and raise 8 kids.I dont envy her at all.I can see in her eyes on alot of the episodes just how tired she is.You are an amazing woman Kate and you have a beautiful family.Although I do think you caould treat Jon as more of an equal partner.You do have my respect though as none of us are perfect.God bless you and your family.

Thank you Ross clan, I could not have said it better. I hardly watch any TV other than the reality shows on TLC and old comedy shows. Junk on TV? You want to compare The Bachelor or Howie Do It to Jon and Kate? Although a lot of us might have had a better choice of words than Kate to the kids and their off limits to Mom and Dad’s bedroom issue, I can certainly understand her frustration of not having any privacy for over 4 years. Yes, parenting is difficult and they chose to be parents, but until you have had to parent more than one child the same age, you do not know what you would do in that situation. You do not know what it is like to walk in their shoes. Kate is organized and controlling, but that is what makes that household function. Would we rather see them having a difficult time and not succeed? Would we rather watch them getting a divorce? Is that what we want this next generation to be like? Why not be compensated well for sharing their lives with us? Isn’t that what actors, writers, and athletes do? I also think Kate is too busy to be lonely. If their relatives have chosen to not be a part of their lives, then that is their decision, their loss. It’s too bad, but life has to move on and they have 8 children to raise, I feel they are doing the best they can with what they have. If they look upon this 20 years from now with regret and feel they have made mistakes, so be it. They will not be alone.

I used to love watching this show. I can relate to Kate and we both have the Type A personality. I found it relaxing to see how someone else handled children and the household. However, this show is getting ridiculous. I don’t care to watch teeth whitening, and hair plugs and lavish trips. The tummy tuck….congrats to her, I would have done the same Also, she is just plain getting ruder and ruder to her husband. I watched the new house episode last night and there was a point in the show where she said, “jon, really you can’t find a better word than that.” I think Jon was talking about the kids going to the horse barn to poke around. OMG! Who the h%ll cares what word he uses. She is getting too controlling! And I agree with one of the other posters. How she told the kids her room was off limits was a bit intimidating. Those poor kids….freaking knock first before they tell her they have to throw up. I hope they get sick on her carpet. Sorry for the venting. I loved the show. I think they deserve the larger house especially the kids. But who is going to pay the mortgage or property taxes or lawn and pool care when their show is over???? COME ON!

I can’t help wondering how Kate is going to keep this hugh new home clean? She is such a clean freak and taking four hours to clean the refrig. alone! How is she going to keep all those hardwood floors clean and shiny as well as the rest of this larger than large home. This home appears to be so large that she couldn’t even find one of her kids that was yelling out Poo! I can only imagine the cost $ for maintenance, upkeep, i.e. inside, outside, electric, water, gas, etc. etc. and includin the pool, $$$$ per month. My God! If their families have deserted them does this include her beloved brother and sister-in-law? I do find it diffiuclt to watch Kate’s bossy and disrespect of Jon in front of the camera’s. One can only imagine what goes on when the camera’s are turned off, hum?

I never search Google to look up a reality series gossip, but guess what? I did for this show! I’ve watched the Gosselins and am now totally sick by Kate’s actions! My husband right from the start couldn’t stand Kate and I stood up for her. Now, I am sorely convinced that he was right! She is unbelievable. So rude to Jon and poor Jon is stuck in this situation because of the child support he would have to pay if he left her. The show like all others will end some day. Can you imagine how Kate will be when she hits menopause? Raging, controlling, mean woman – for sure! All of us should really boycott this show if we want it off the air. Do not buy their books etc. But the harsh reality of today is that most if not all people like to see others with ISSUES…good or bad… America is bored and so we tune in an tune out…

I watch Jon And kate all the time, I love the show but find it very disturbing on how she talks to her husban. Garnted all of us women who are married get frustrated with them but on televison? Thats another story. She needs to learn to take it down a notch. As far as their HUGE home? WOW! I wish that were me! They probab;y have to keep doing their show if they want to get paid that kind of money. Their probably so use to this income coming in from the show that they know of no other way to make it work. I understand hes in computers and yes they do make decent money but not enought to support a family of 10. Well hope it works for them.

WHY WOULD YOU CARE ABOUT HOW THEY GOT THEIR HOUSE? YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE NOT ALL CRAMMED IN A TINY SPACE, CAUSE I CAN BET THAT IF THEY WERE, YOU WOULD BE SAYIN “WHY DONT THEY DO SOMETHING SO THAT THEY CAN BETTER PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILY??” GET A LIFE PEOPLE.

I used to watch this show like religion and my husband would say, that show again???? I enjoyed seeing how this huge family survived day to day and always was suspicious of how in the world does this family financially survive? Now I know. I must say, I can’t seem to have interest anymore. Kate’s bossy, bad attitude, her neat freak cleanliness which lets face it-is unrealistic for a family of 10. Now a multimillion home? All those donations were enough-but this is a bit much. This show can’t run till all the kids go to college, hope they have a huge cash reserve to pay all the huge bills that come with a huge house. And no, I’m not jealous. I surely couldn’t handle 8 kids. That doesn’t mean they “deserve” anything! People had 14, 15, 16, 17 children in the olden days—THEY WERE THE SURVIVORS!! Hope your show does well–I won’t be watching anymore.

I think it’s wonderful that they are getting a new home with lots of space for the family. It has to be hard for a stay at home mom with 8 children to live in confined quarters. Who really cares how they are paying for it? None of you negative people have their bills with so many mouths to have food on the table! As for Kate’s attitude, wouldn’t you be short too? I think she could be nicer to Jon, but she has a lot of responsibility day in and day out with that many children. She has to stay home, take care of the kids, cook, clean, and do laundry (oh god—imagine all the laundry!) while he gets a break everyday to go to work. She just needs a little more time to herself probably. Best wishes to Jon and Kate, wish you lots of luck, and can’t wait to watch the new episodes! Congrats on your new house!

I just finished reading the new book during a hard time in my life, it really helped me get through knowing that someone with so much on her plate made it through. I loved that she showed how GOD and GOD got her through it all. I just hope more than anything, for her sake and the shows sake she never forgets that. She has such a great chance with this show to help alot of people in many ways. I hope she does not loose sight of that with all the hipe, money, and fame. Most people I feel somehow always do, and I would love it if this show could stay on for a long time to come. I feel that it could they just need to stay focused on why they did it in the first place. Fame somehow always eats people alive, and I would hate to see that happen with this family. Just stay close to GOD Kate and John and I think you guys will be amazed how HE will work in your life. Your book really is a blessing!!!!!!! Thank You for writing it!

Wow…. there are a lot of judgemental people here… until you KNOW what it is like to live in their shoes, I think it is unfair to judge them… I can’t keep my house organized with a husband and two kids I can’t imagine having 8! When the kids are in school and the cameras are gone, they are still going to have to live in the reality of having to raise those 8 kids. And I’m sure if anyone on here had the chance to live in a 1.3 million dollar house, you wouldn’t think twice about packing and moving in! And as far as not using organic soap….come on!

I watched this show for years – the kids are adorable and it was interesting to see how Jon and Kate handled everything. Lately, it’s all been about the trips they take and Kate’s been complaining alot more. This past episode, with the new house, sealed the deal with me. Instead of enjoying herself with the kids in the new, gorgeous home, she bitched and moaned about the dirty refrigerator, forbade the kids from ever setting foot in her bedroom again, ridiculed Jon and ignored Mady’s repeatedly kicking Alexis. I’d rather watch an drug addict face an intervention on another channel.

This is why that lady in CA had a litter of 8 kids! And please don’t say it was “Gods will!” No it wasn’t HE said “You shall have no kids.” And Kate said “Like hell!

I lvoe this show, the children are adorable, and it has a real life feel to it. I am a nanny and I know a house full of kids can be very loud and stressful, so I get where Kate is coming from a lot of the time. However I did just have a conversation with my mom the other day about how this season she seems a little high on herself. Yes she looks fantastic for having 8 children, a tummy tuck, diet, and exercise will do that, but something in her attitude is just off. I will continue watching the show though because I just love those kids. But I truly hope she realizes how lucky she is, in this economy, to be making that kind of money. I just saw today on the news a family of 6 sleeping in tents under the bridge because the lost everything, don’t they deserve something too?

I am so saddened at what this show has become. I am angered at the way Kate treats Jon, I was angered all along about that but she has become impossible to watch. I cannot believe that she allowed Mady to kick her younger sister and she was kicking her hard!! Mady acts just like Kate. like a spoiled brat. KAte needs to take a good long look in the mirror and see what she has become. Kate, your husband is your treasures and he should be treated like that. I can’t stand this show anymore. Everything with KAte is me, me ,me and mine mine mine! If you watch the shows, you’ll see that KAte makes Jon do most of the work, he bathes the kids, he wipes the kids, he carries everything for her and she treats him like a slave and like utter trash. It’s so very sad.

Its not being negative these people took alot of free things. Jon went to work all the time and now he doesnt. We all can be parents like them if we just stayed home and not work like them. Kate needs a personality, she is ignorant and bossy and a user. She wants privacy, but she should of thought of that befores letting the cameras in their home. Now the kids are older she doesnt need her family and friends anymore (babysitters). I hope Jon wakes up soon, he deserves so much better, all she does is nag. Dont get me wrong i loved watching the show but now all the money has changed them.

I have enjoyed this show for a long time, and just tend to ignore Kate’s “higher than mighty” attitude. Where did the mom who cut out heart shaped pbj sandwiches and cucumbers on Valentine’s Day for her kids go? Oh, I know, she is hiding with Jon in THEIR bedroom in their massive new house. The kids are never allowed to step foot in there, so she better not hid their Valentine trinkets for their scavenger hunt in there. The comment, “Mine, all mine, as far as the eye can see!” when Kate was standing at the window made me sick. I have defended this show for so long, but she goes right thru me at this point. What a hypocrite! I also hope the people they bought the house from weren’t watching Kate’s critique of their “dirty, disgusting, vile refrigerator”. She went too far this time….she deserves all the criticism she gets.

Yes.. the Gosselin’s get paid A LOT from TLC per episode.. something like $60.000.
Then they command $25.000 per speaking engagement. I hear they cut out many of the “Love Gifts” from churches now that they are well off financially.
Then there is the Book deal that Beth wrote along with Kate. Here’s an article of who really wrote the book. Kate & Jon were contributors.

The old house has not sold yet..as in this market it may be awhile as they want $350.000 for it.

I wonder when the show ends, how they are going to be able to afford the taxes of this New home and the New Condo in park city Utah?

I did have to laugh when Alexis asked Kate while they were getting to go to the new house.

Alexis: How much do houses cost?

Kate: LOT’S! thats why Mommy’s & Daddy’s have jobs.

Funny thing, as Kate doesn’t have a job & Jon doesn’t work either.

I hope as its the Children who are the real workers of the show that their money is being put away for their collage funds.

Time will tell having camera’s in the home 3 days a week and the children having no privacy will have on them. I hope they don’t end up like other child stars.

People sure can be mean about Jon and Kate. Obviously those people are jealous. Can’t you just be happy for them instead of judging them? They are both lucky people to be able to stay home with the kids and earn money. Majority of us would do the same thing. They obviously saved up for this house. If they are making somewhere around 60,000 per episode then they obvioulsy can afford this house. I’m very happy for them. I enjoy watching the show.

I have an idea. Have TLC come watch me work my butt off everyday and pay me $60k per episode! I would be more than happy to let them see what an average, hard working American can do in a 10 hour day. Just because they have 8 kids does not mean they should get “special treatment” that was their choice! I don’t have kids, we can’t afford it, but somehow people like this are picked because of their situation, BS! It is not “good TV” it is mindless entertainment for the masses. Who cares about what they do or how they live? There are too many other deserving families in the U.S. who need help but we choose to watch this, a family with 8 kids “struggling to “make it”.

OK, I think that all people should stop being so judgmental. Who are you to judge others.

The Gosselin’s are doing the best that they can for their family and I for one am glad that TLC is following their lives. I look forward to watching them every week.
I have followed their story since the Sextuplets were born and it is evident that they love their children and want what is best for them and try to give them what they need (including more space in their home and yard). It was a choice that they made, but it was the right one for them and if some of us like to watch them grow and go about their daily lives then others should not be judging and being jealous, because really that is all it comes down to. Be an adult, if you don’t want to watch the show or do not agree with then do not watch it. Yes, there are others out there that need help, and if you feel that strongly about it donate to a cause that helps those in need. Sheesh……

This has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy!
Does it not make you upset and mad to see a child kicking her little sister with all her might and her mother does NOTHING about it? Does it not make you upset when you see Kate treat her husband like crap on nearly every show? For her to tell her kids “See this room? you will never step foot in this room ever again” is horrible. It’s not the refrigerator that is “vile” it’s HER!! and the fact that she says she is a christian and still treats her husband this way, just frosts me the most. He should be her treasure, her best friend and yet she ORDERS him around like a slave. SHe could not have stopped for a few minutes and wiped the kids rears? come ON!!

For all the neigh sayers, we would have a big house, free vacations, and more if we pimped our kids for money.

But if you don’t like, then don’t watch so their show goes away.

Does Kate ever watch her own show and maybe see how she comes off? Apparently not! Not letting your children come into your bedroom? Come on. I know it’s got to be hard raising all these kids but jeez! YOU wanted them lady! Kate- watch your own show…get a grip. Life is to short to act like this towards your precious family!

Good for the Gosselins. A WELL ADJUSTED FAMILY who teaches ethics, moral values and lives like the rest of society with a large LOVING family. We were curious to know all about them when the show was new, and now that they have let us into their lives, in many situations, we feel like we now must judge this family? Shame on all who leave the nasty comments. Turn off your tv, quit worrying about how much they pay for their home, how they raise their kids, and live. We don’t care what you think. I am just thankful that I can turn on tv and find a show that is REAL, educational in most aspects, and teaches love to their children. WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE GETTING PAID, HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE OR HOW THEY GOT THIS HOUSE. Be thankful, and happy that this family can give so much to their children. What a wonderful gift. Hats off to you both Jon and Kate for teaching me the meaning of family first….. ROCK ON GOSSELINS….

they are trading on their family time for money. call me judgemental, but i would never treat my family as some side show oddity. step right up and see the amazing sextuplets……. the people on here who think that this show is so great need to watch the Truman Show.
p.s. i would never tell my children that they had to stay out of my bedroom……. because lets be honest here the kids paid for that bedroom.
they are not doing this for their kids – they are living off of them. tummy tucks, hairplugs, teeth whitening,spa treatments, i’m not sure how these things benefit the kids.
how many more trips ? was there not a larger home for the family that cost less than 1.3 million dollars? this is not reality. this family is far from struggling.

The criticisms of this family I find are just and well-grounded and just to let you know, they aren’t the only people living in a huge house! But, most of the rest of us got it by truly working — even with big families to feed — and not by handouts or greed, then bragging about our kid’s wonderful lifestyle on T.V. This house is not a blessing from God. That comment is an insult and a man-made assumption. God does not reword people like that. God rewards us for the good we do in this world. These people did not “earn” any of this, they basically exploited their children and fertility situation to get it. So, telling a child they can’t enter their room when the children are the ones who essentially “paid for” the house is absurd and also cruel. There is no other way to look at it. They wouldn’t have any of what they acquired had it not been for the kids.

On top of that, the woman is abusive towards her husband. When they do their interviews, she doesn’t even make eye contact with him other than to insult him. I feel this show is now going to turn off many viewers. People who used to indentify and sympathize with them will no longer. And, here’s my prediction: sooner than later the show will end. Jon will find a woman who respects him and divorce Kate. He will try to use footage from the show to prove the abuse. And, they will have to sell the house to pay legal fees. When their glory days of freebies and leaching are over, both will have to find employment again because they will not be getting Producer’s fees from TLC and can’t possibly maintain a lifestyle like that. The writing is on the wall. When viewers stop watching that’s the end of a show!

a. exploit their children for money
b. allow verbal abuse to permeate their marriage
c. end relations with kate’s parents, brother, and sister in law because their opinion was different than hers??

The show started off as a chronicle of the average life of a family with 8 kids. Well, I can tell you that family is no longer average in their million dollar home away from all family and friends. Speaking of friends, they don’t have any, do they? Hmm, I think I know why.

I will never live in a house that nice, but I certainly don’t feel the need to bash them because they are able to. I’m sure they are reading these posts and laughing all of the way to the bank.

They get paid for the show, which clearly a lot of people on here watch — even if you say you don’t like Kate! Plus they do speaking engagements which they are paid for and they published a book. So bottom line is they are entitled to live in a new home. If you say you aren’t jealous, it’s a lie because you wouldn’t be on here commenting otherwise. The average family home is close to $300,000 — and the average family is 1/3 the size of theirs so the price seems right to me!

It is not “good TV” it is mindless entertainment for the masses. Who cares about what they do or how they live? There are too many other deserving families in the U.S. who need help but we choose to watch this reality show that in the beginning was about a family with 8 kids “struggling to “make it but now has turned into a family with a million dollar home and Kate looking for more free handouts from viewers all the time. When will you finally pull the plug and see with this economy we don’t need to see families such as this gain wealth and fame through the use of their children. This is no longer a reality show I care to watch and I have many friends and members of my church feeling the same way.

I cannot to relate to people who have a show biz house. How are they going to pay the taxes and utilities on a house this size. From TLC, of course. They are not an every day couple anymore. Kate is now all for herself and I feel like I am watching a commercial for “Jon and Kate”.

The comments about Maddy on this site are crazy. She’s 8 she has 7 other siblings, put yourself in that position, not too easy I should think.

God works in mysterious ways. I just saw Kate speak at WIllow Creek on Saturday and she is a down to earth, outgoing lady who is completely God-centered. She does portray that somewhat on the show, but with editing, TLC only eludes to it. She told of many examples how her children realize Jesus is in their lives, how the family is Christ-centered and as a Mom her biggest challenge is to be sure that what she does/says to her children today affects them positively tomorrow and later down the road. So many are so critical and jealous of her, but i dont think they understand where she comes from and how hard she and Jon had it in the first year of their sextuplet’s lives. Did you realize Jon was out of a job for an entire year? That he had to stand in line at the Salvation Army to get their gas bill paid because they did not have the money to pay the bill? Did you know that during the cold months the babies were dressed in socks, onsies, pants, shirts, vests and hats to sleep because they didnt have the money to turn up the heat? They may have gotten free formula and diapers, but people were not throwing $ at them for overhead expenses. The little kids will be in school soon and the show will most likely end dont you think? Would the average mom be great at basically running a preschool with 6 kids from dawn to dusk? No one is perfect and she should be given some slack. Remember that the show its edited. Most of us are exasperated raising 2-3 children, can you imagine 8? Kate has an amazing job and is by no means scarring her children. They finally have a house they can breathe in, so what? You would most likely want some room if 10 people were in your family too. They only get bigger and take up more space. They make a good chunk of change from the show and from books; I’d ride that wave as long as it lasted too. In a few years Jon & Kate will disappear and there will be another group in the spotlight to complain about. Why cant people just be happy for them? Would you honestly be that much different if you were in their shoes? Just pray for them and for all of the people who are down on them. They are only human.

What I think is unfair, are all the struffling families out there who have more children than Jon and Kate and they get nothing. I love the show, but the vacations, medical procedures, free clothes, etc are getting a bit ridiculous. I don’t feel that this family should be supported by donations. What do they plan to do when they have 8 kids in high school and gymboree isn’t providing a free wardrobe? Just because everything is available to them as a donation, doesn’t mean they need to accept it. How about pass on the fortune to those who truely need it? I liked the show more when it was about Kate’s daily life at home with the kids! Also, I understand it get stressful to be a stay at home mom, but if I talked to my husband the way Kate does, i’d be single.

Reading these comments is certainly eyeopening; it seems most of the people just want to whine and complain about what Jon and Kate have been given in return to allowing the camera’s inside their home. It’s already been stated that camera’s are there for three days a week, eight hours a day. And we only see forty minutes of that, with commercials. Jon and Kate also don’t get a say in what footage is shown; TLC decides that.

As to Kate’s rule of ‘You will never set foot in this room again’? What’s wrong with that? At age four, it’s not too early for a child to learn to knock on a door before barging in on Mommy and Daddy, or *gasp* learn to do things on their own, like vomit. But they are children still. My parents instituted the knock first rule when I was four, and they abided by it too, knocking on my door to request admittance.

The Mady kicking Alexis thing does worry me, as it’s painfully obvious she’s jealous of her siblings; Cara’s the Oldest, and the sextuplets are the babies, who require a lot of attention. She’s just lashing out for attention.

As to Kate and the fridge? Um, if you don’t do a thorough cleaning of your fridge and kitchen when you move into your house, not to mention your bathrooms, I hope I never visit it. It took me three hours to thoroughly scour my fridge in my brand new, just built apartment. You can never be too careful, and if it gets dirty after, at least you know they’re your germs.

As to Kate exploiting the kids? I don’t think so. She’s using TLC to provide for her family, and I say, good for her. She’s doing what any one of you would; I even read a post from a woman wanting to know where her reality show was. People obviously tune in every day, if only to watch themselves turn green with envy.

And to those with only one or two children, remember those yearly birthdays with 7 or 8 of your childs school friends in the house? Running around, screaming, the inevitable bumps and bruises? Consoling injured child while two more are yelling for more juice, and that Someone stole your sons new toy, and you have no idea where your other two kids are? Imagine that every day, day in, day out, and you might get a glimpse of an idea what their lives are like. I have four brothers, and let me tell you, privacy is a rare and precious commodity to be treasured. People yell, get short-tempered, and after a day of dealing with it day in, day out, I can’t blame Kate for looking forward to Jon coming home so she can breathe for a minute. Since Jon no longer needs to work, so much better; he can be there all the time.

I don’t doubt that once all the kids are older and in school, things will calm down; Kate will have more privacy for herself to do what she wills during the day, and get her cleaning done without the kids interrupting.

I’ve said my piece, and I’m never coming back to this board again. Reading all this negativity makes my head ache, and remember, Karma comes for you all.

I used to love this show, like many viewers. Watching John and Kate balance so many children was amazing. Until now. For all those saying people are jealous… that’s a cop out. Their feelings are just as real as yours. Being judgemental works both ways.
At one point Kate indicated she would allow the cameras into their lives, as long as the children were comfortable with it. The children are too young to make that decision and having cameras follow them is now, unfortunately, part of their lives. It’s tough enough to be a child, growing up in front of the camera will only prove tougher.
Now, there is no choice, if the cameras don’t stay… neither does the income. John and Kate exist entirely off the money from that show or from whatever donations still come their way.
I wish the family the best, especially the children. I hope they find their way out of the spotlight. But, the unwise, seemingly selfish parental decisions can only hurt them now.

From the day she was in Hershey Medical Center having her children she was pinpointed as being a demanding pain in the neck, seems her personality continues to get worse with each passing year. She treats her husband like one of the kids nagging him and demanding and commanding him to do this and that. How sad she feels she should treat her husband like this, and sad he puts up with it!! In her eyes no one can do right.

They chose to have this many children, it is terrible that they have decided to exploit their children in this manner. Demanding state nursing help, because she can’t deal with all of these children on their own. Where is the family in the picture, the children are missing out on one of the most important aspect in growing up having your family around to do things with as they grow up. in these beginning years.

How many rooms do they have in this house? Great now they can have 14 or 15 potty chairs around the house. How about you let the kids learn to go on a regular pot, and throw them all out. 4 hours to clean a refrigerator, get a clue it wasn’t that bad, you really couldn’t see anything when the camera was showing the refrigerator. Poor time management on your part.

Maybe you can start giving back to the earth instead of taking and taking!!! Start some kind of farm on that great big property you have, wow look what additional money you could have coming in!

Oh you couldn’t pay me enough to be in Jon and Kate’s postion. $60,000 an episode is an awesome reward but I think that estimate may be a bit high. Anyone have a link that proves that is the amount? Just think about the dough TLC rakes in on this program. Why shouldn’t they get a cut? It would be explotative if the DIDN’T. They have done over 100 episodes for your perverted enjoyment.

Also they must have made bank on the book deal. They have to tour for that damn book as well. Trust that it is a full time job for Kate and Jon doing media tours. As far as them getting a 1 million dollar home. I say fantastic! That bungalow was too damn small for all of them. Be happy for the kids that they will have great memories of their time growing up in that cool new house. Man people on the web are such whiners.

Whoa—i know their house we knew as of 12/08 was listed with a realtor for $350K. The new house, which we caught glimpses of the past two episodes, had a list price of$1,350,000!!

They really are raking the bucks aren’t they? I too, used to like the show. Now, I only watch to see just how much nastier Kate gets with Jon.

The older girls are a bit jealous of the attention the babies are/have been getting. Just when they were becoming interesting little people, their world turned upside down with the arrival of 6 siblings. Not what most toddlers have to cope with, therefore, I think the girls just needed mom and dad to be there for them and not intrusive TV show production crews.

I love the show and the kids and I’m really happy about the new house they moved into. The only problem I have is the way Kate speaks to Jon. She really disrepects him. It’s sad to look at, other than that I love everything else about the show. Kate should do and practice what she preaches in churches across the country. Instead of taking your frustration out on Jon call on God to see you through situations and give you peace in your soul so you wouldn’t take it out on your husband.

I totally agree with the article. I’ve been watching that show from the very beginning and I was surprised by the way she spoke to her husband. Now I just cringe inside when she speaks to him. This is not about the way she raises her children or even the family. This is about the way she speaks to her beloved, her husband, the person she suppose to spend the rest of her life with after the children are all grown and gone. People could think what they want, truth is the truth, she emasculates him, disrespects him and sometimes it appears she have no love for him at all. She does not value his opinion, or even acts as though she cares for him. He is just there to do what she says, to help her, to understand her alone, to always see for her side or point of view to be her slave and caddyboy. Whether you have kids or not that’s no way to treat your husband or a person who you share a deep relationship with. Kate needs a wake up call, a life and death situation that will bring her to her senses. It’s as though she doesn’t even realise her own behaviour towards Jon. She is not aware of it. All I have to say is that she doesn’t appreciates him at all. And that really sad especially in the kind of World we are living in today. People are dying everyday.
I’ve known people who have more kids than Kate and love their husbands and treat them with respect even when they are stressed or tired from the kids. A marriage is two people working together and loving each other to get through the good and bad times, not one dominating and belittling the other. How much more could one person take.

3. Hurray for the house! They earned the money for it and I hope they enjoy it.

4. The fridge. This was very rude to the previous owner of the house. She must be very embarrassed for her friends to hear Kate’s comments about how dirty it was. I’m sure Kate has cleaning people who could have done this job and she did not need to be so critical of the previous owner.

5. The trips, hair implants, etc., I’m sure are given to them in order for the givers to receive advertising. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

6. Does anyone know why we don’t see Aunt Jodi, Beth, and others anymore?

7. Does anyone know why the grandparents are not involved? What’s the story on that?

My brother in law who is self employeed is the sole provider for him and my sister and their six childern and they bought a house when the market was VERY good. For over half a million in California no less where it is SO expensive to live. I’m positive my brother in law makes a lot less than a government employeed IT tech!! Plus have you ever seen how frugal Kate is?!? She also says that she has no right to tell people how to spend their hard earned money so if they WANT to donate to her family who is she to tell them otherwise! Plus they have charitable yard sales and give back in other ways to their community….

Want to find somone who deserves NOTHING..that would be that single mom who lives at home with her six children and just had octuplets!! I would never tell anyone what is best, but WHAT was that doctor who implanted her thinking besides they are going to be on WELFARE- something WE ALL pay for!!

I did find out from this site, was that they are still in Penn.

For all of you who are upset with the show,I like others say “don’t watch”. I bet that those of you who are criticising this family, are probably the same ones that watched the Super Bowl. What do you think those football players make? Or for that matter any sports star. Do you think they live in a house like us normal folks? I’ll bet not!
They make so much money, and they get extra a lot of extra money from sponsers, yet, the normal family has a real hard time going to take their kids to any sporting event. Does that make any sense?
At least I see this family teaching their kids how to be grateful, sharing, loving and independent. This family went to St. Jude hospital and visited, and took the children at the hospital presents. Can any of you say you’ve done that? Negative people need to get a life!

Jon and Kate God Bless you and your family of darling children. I love to watch your show and am just as glad that I do not have 8 children. You do a great job with them. I will continue to watch.

They never would have been able to take 8 kids to disney world before so Im all for it. It gives them something to give for the children. They say it’s wrong for them to except so much help but wouldn’t you? Nobody could do all of that by themselves without family or friends. They have wonderful family members and friends.

Did anyone else notice that TLC never showed a picture of the outside of the house as they were driving up? All your saw was the inside when they took the children and showed them their rooms.

With masses of Americans losing jobs, cars, health care, houses etc. It rubbed me the wrong way when Kate was standing by the sink looking out the kitchen window and said “this is all mine as far as I can see”. That was it for me. I probably will never watch this show again.

Kate if you are reading this. Be kinder to your husband because if he ever gets smart and leaves your bitchy ass, you could be living in a trailer park in a rented double wide in Podunk, PA.

Also think about stopping the show when your 4-yr olds start getting upset over the cameras.

I agree with so many of the above comments. I think it is a shame that they have taken advantage of so many free handouts. If they can afford a 1.3 million dollar home then she could have paid for her own tummy tuck, his hair transplants, and all the trips they have taken. It’s amazing how she strategically mentions something and then is utterly amazed that someone donated it to them. Wow, imagine that. Chidlren are a gift from God but like another poster said, God said no they couldn’t have any. They took it upon themselves to use medical intervention to have kids, then to exploit them on tv for not one or two years but for many years, and now to write a book about the adventure for more money. It all seems wonderful to quit your job, buy a house much beyond your means, and have everyone around you do the work for you. Remember you reap what you sow. When Jon has no love for her, the kids have no respect but a lot of resentment towards her, and the money has quit coming in- what’s left? A miserable woman. Why are there not shows on the other 11 families with sixtuplets? Maybe they didn’t want to travel down the greedy road Kate did.

When the show just started I was very interested because I wanted to see how both parents relate to their 8 children. Unfortunately, Kate’s behaviour towards her husband and in totally unacceptable. I am surprised that the producrs of the show have not seen it fit to talk to Kate about her very poor behaviour.

Yse, it is a Reality Show; but we must bear in mind that it’s a show that parents will watch with their your young childre. Certainly they don not want their children to gorw up feeling that it’s the norm for mommy to berate daddy all the time.

Jon seem to have a self effacing personality but that does not give Kate the right to abuse him. She ought to have known about thype of personality she was dealing withbefore she said “I DO’. Shame on you Kate.

Regarding the children, I fear that many of them will need some form of psychological counselling in their teenage years. Maybe it would be a good idea for the parent to say, “No thank you”, to some of the free trips because it is such a burden to travel with so many children. In lieu of the trips they could opt for a nursery teacher to help keep the children occupied in a constructive way. Children can learn a lot through constructive play. My only child did nad now, she is a succesful professional.

I think alot of you are missing one important point. TLC films many hours at their home and they are the ones that EDIT what is filmed. We don’t know what they cut out. TLC is showing us what they want us to see, who knows what happens during the other hours of film we don’t see. Of course TLC wants to create controversy, that’s what keeps many people watching, kind of like a train wreck. Although I agree Kate seems to have changed, seems less tender and loving toward the kids and Jon, too caught up in the show, all I can judge by is what TLC wants me to see. I’ll continue to watch for awhile, but if the tone doesn’t change, I’ll probably find something else at that time slot, not because I’ll be disappointed with the Goslins, but because I’ll be disappointed with the editing by TLC.

I’m sure they made money from TLC, the books and the speaking engagements – but why not. Now Jon is staying home with the kids while Kate travel about the books. So they don’t have 9-5 away from home jobs. So What??

They are making their way and taking care of their children the best they can.

I would like to know how often they are filmed. Jon said in a recent interview that it’s not a 24/7 type thing. I suspect it’s a few days a month and the little ones don’t seem intimidated by the cameras or the crew. In fact they respond to them. So I don’t really think it’s tramatic for them.

Wow – that is some house! While I am pleased for the family that they now have much needed space, privacy, and a great environment in which to raise their 8 kids, I can’t help but feel the house is a little over the top. These days, with so many families losing their homes, the grandeur of this house seems a little excessive to me. I used to love watching the show because they were an average type family, with an unusually large number of children – and I loved watching how a “typical” family dealt with the challenges that came with all the children. Now, they really seem like a wealthy family, living what most people now would consider an abnormal lifestyle (trips, etc.) in this day and age. Obviously they needed the space and still some children will be sharing rooms, but honestly, I grew up next door to a family with 9 children, and they all shared rooms. Isn’t that typical? I know they are a thankful family and the children are encouraged to give thanks for everything they have received, and of course – they have given up their privacy, etc. I just feel in this day and age, it’s a little over the top.

Ugh….I think I would rather watch trashy shows than J&K+8. I watched the first two seasons and it was cute then, but, Kate just drove me away with her belittling of the kids and Jon. Now, they have this honkin’ huge house paid for by you the viewer via TLC. Yes…you are paying for it people. Everytime you turn on the show or buy from their sponsors or…even your tax dollars are hard at work..esp. if you live in PA. Nice house, but, they really don’t deserve it anymore so than any other family of multiples or a large family in general. What is all the fuss about them needing a mega ranch? Yep, bet ya dollars to donuts all of those kids will need therapy….give it five+ years when we first hear about it…Ha!…maybe less.

I don’t care how the world sees how this woman treats her husband….well, okay I do care….I just HATE HATE HATE that churches and Christians organizations are climbing all over themselves and paying her to speak, and paying her that much money ($25K?) to say she is a Christian. I’m sorry ladies but fyi, that is NOT how a Christian woman, wife and mother should act, on or off camera. No no no! When you are stressed and you feel like you are losing control, lashing out like Kate and belittling your husband as Kate does is not right. As Christian women, we are to be helpmates and be loving and supportive to our husbands. And we aren’t supposed to put the cleanliness of our homes over time spent with our children or being kind to our husbands. Read the story about Mary and Martha when Christ came to visit. Check your Bible, ask your local pastor or priest. Its a sad shame and sadly a sign of the times when the Christian church and Christian organizations are using someone like Kate to promote their faith. I for one know that if every my daughter see the show, it is only because I am showing them how NOT to act as a Christian. With all the churches today supporting her, its no wonder there are more divorces in churches than in corporations these days.

I don’t watch the show anymore…Kate’s nastiness turned me off. However, I must say there is quite a mixed bag of comments on this blog!

If some of you enjoy the show, by all mens watch it, but don’t say they “deserve” their new house. Why exactly do they deserve it? Because they are on tv and don’t have any marketable skills , except in manipulating the system Please don’t tell me they work hard, because they have an army of people behind the scenes helping them out. Don’t tell me what a great job they are doing with their kids…because they are exploiting those children for their own gain…they have bought 2 homes in the past yr, and haven’t put any money aside for educating those kids. Kate isn’t thrifty…she feeds her family organic, and that is more expensive than non-organic.
(even if she cooks from scratch, which the organic cook might!)

What will they do when the show is cancelled and they have spent all of their money? I thought TLC was their main and only source of income at this point.
Will they, too, go back on state aide?

To everyone else, this is merely entertainment…but for those kids, this is the only life they know. What will they all have to show for it when everything is said and done? Since it’s “all Kate’s….all Kate’s!”

Is that the reason people choose to have so many babies at once, so that they can get free help from people, what about the large families that just have one at a time and end up with 8 do they get free stuff and paid alot of money to sell their lives, i think it is shameful, i think that if they have all these kids whether it be one at a time or 8 at a time, they should be solely responsible for their total care and welfare and not depend on the tax payers or making money of their children in order to support them.

If they could not afford 8 children without assistance from friends, family, outside sponsors, TV shows, then I’m sorry Kate should have gone through elective selection for a more feasible and manageable #. As I said, this is my opinion ppl. can agree or disagree, doesn’t faze me. I totally believe that it’s shows like this one that are leading to mentally unstable ppl. (California octuplet psycho-mom) in pushing the envelope to see how many babies they can birth and then ride the gravy train to fame, wealth and lifestlye riches. It’s ppl. like those of you who actually watch this nonsense who are in essence paying for this multi-million $$$ mansion that they have custom built for themselves… hope it was worth it…

They would have none of this if not for those kids and just because they all came at once. Pretty sad that this is what are society has become – a grandiose spectacle of $$$, lifestlye, fame and wealth- but at whose “price”? We have all known ppl. who have had large families-are they any less worthy of having their day-to-day struggles filmed for public consumption? No, of course not… it’s called PRIORITIES ppl. and quite obviously the Gosselin’s priorities are totally out of whack. I am very happy to say that I do not watch the show, have never watched the show and will never watch the show- they are a pathetic example to me of what abundant wealth and fame does to the “normal person”- Pathetic that they have sold out their children for $$$~

I look forward to watching the episodes with the new house and all the land. I think Kate would be afraid to be there alone with all the kids and the neighbors being so far away. You can’t even see a house from their property. I know Kate seems to want to have a lot of space, but what about if the kids, when older, want to go to a neighblor’s house? Can they walk where you can watch them? It just seems so far from anyone.
That being said, what happened to all the friends that came to help out and do they ever see their
families? Christian people usually like being close to those like them. Are they going to the same church? How far away did they move?
On the last episode, Jon had the kids by himself and I thought he was a little short with them. He took them for a walk and a few of them didn’t want to go and were crying to go home and he said,
“I don’t care what you want”. They’re only 4 years
old and probably scared on so much land and not being able to see their house. Plus Jon had
a hat on and said it was cold out, but none of the children had hats or gloves. Jon needs to be
a little more attentive and careful with them.
He also gave rides on a tractor, which they could have fallen off of, and the other kids were
waiting somewhere else. Even Kate asked where
they were when he had one on the tractor. Anyway, Kate does need to be kinder to Jon and Jon needs to pay more attention to the kids, not just playing with them. How about teaching them something. I really do love the show and hope that it stays on the air a long time. Kate, do get a house keeper that comes in once and a while so you can actually have some real fun with your
wonderful family. Letting go of some control is
not a bad thing. Best wishes to all of your family.

This was an interesting read! Like many of you I have watched the show since the first episode “Surviving Sextuplets and Twins” Many people ask how I can stand it. Kate’s attitude, the $$ they are making etc. I watch it because I like the kids. They are fun to observe, watching them hit milestones and grow.

I had never considered previous to reading this that the little kids were being exploited. After that seed was planted, I kept reflecting back to the books that I have read about the Dionne Quintuplets in the 30s. There are many similarities between Quintland and the Gosselin household. We never see the little kids with friends, or being allowed to mix with anyone their own age, as well as the sterile environment that Kate has enforced.

It will be interesting to see in the years ahead if they, the Dionne’s, sue their parents and TLC for taking their childhoods away from them. These poor kids will need professional help especially Hannah, Joel and Madelyn. That being said the twins have all but been dropped from the show, either by TLC editing or by their own choice.

I will continue to watch, again not for Kate, not for the big new house and not for Jon (who takes all abuse like the entire situation was his fault), but for those 6 entertaining little munchkins!

I tend to agree with a lot of the comments that Kate does not show much patience with Jon. Remember he is still young and has had this responsibility thrusted on him. Kate on the other hand being female and more mature by nature seem to cope better. He is a good guy so Kate you had better cherish him and respect him as a christian woman is supposed to. If you talk the talk of christianity you should lead by example
Good luck to you all and take heed to some of the comments. Some may be a little coarse but so many people could not be that off track
Remember also that once the cameras stop rolling and the books stop selling and the requests for talks stop coming, there is always family. You need them and the kids do too. No fence too broken it cannot be fixed when it comes to family

Do you have a loving heart? Do Jon and Kate? Of course they do. They love their kids above all else and there is no doubt in my mind that their decisions are always in the best interest of their children. Why so much critism? It’s been my experience that critical people are lacking truly loving hearts and have some areas in their lives that need mending. Read Kate’s book Multiple Blessings. How can you doubt their love and commitment to their children?

I just read the majority of these comments and I have a few responses. One, the camera crew is not there everyday of the week, they are only there two to three days a week. So the kids and family probably do spend time together with their family and the kids’ friends and time with each other. Just because we dont see it, doesnt mean that it doesnt happen. I know that if I had 8 kids and someone came to me and offered me money to be able to help support my big family, I would say yes in a heartbeat. They are not doing any of this for fame, but for the future and well-being of their children. I am sure they did not expect this much wealth to come from doing the show. But it does happen to be very entertaining and very real. I know that there are a lot of families that have lots of children that raise their families on very little, but they also may have been pregnant more than twice. Jon and Kate knew the risks with fertility drugs, but I wouldnt knock anyone that wants to have a family. They never planned this, and this show and their life is the way things panned out. So what. More power to them.
I agree that Kate can be a little rude to Jon, but I also have the same personality as Kate (ask my livein BF) and I too may say some mean things to him, or get upset because he doesnt do things the way I would like them done. That’s life, and no one is perfect. At least she is not being fake and acting like she is the most perfect, nicest mom around, yea right, that person doesnt exist. We all handle situations differently. Kate works very very hard being a stay at home mom, and I know I would probably react way worse than she does sometimes. I couldn’t imagine doing that much laundry, dishes, shopping,etc. Again she did not plan this, but she and Jon do the best they can and this show just happens to help them out in certain areas. I am glad that they can afford the things they do for their kids. That’s all a parent ever wants.
I am also sure that they have invested a lot of their earnings wisely, like owning the home and putting it the bank. I dont think they would be dumb enough to spend all their money as soon as they get it. They are very smart people and I am sure they know this show wont go on forever and I am sure they already have all the money put away for all 8 kids to go off to college and for their mortgage, utilities, etc for when the show does end.
I watch this show for a lot of reasons, but mainly because the sextuplets are adorable and fun to watch. I am constantly laughing when I watch, and I enjoy seeing them grow and learn. I have yet to read Kate’s books, but I plan to when I have time. I just wish people would stop saying such cruel things about them, they do work very hard. They didnt have to say yes to doing this show and I would probably get very annoyed with cameras being in my face for years and years, but I know that they are doing this for their kids, and there kids only.
Thank you Jon and Kate for letting me into you and your children’s lives!

Tonights show was the last one for me. I’m done
with Jon & Kate. Tonight they got 2 new washers
about $1200 each, with the drawers underneath
$250 ea., a cabinet on the side, 2 dryers, new
dishwasher,micro, and a NEW side by side refridg. After listening to her complain about the
fridg being so filthy, then tonight about the dishwasher. She just stands there with her arms
across her chest with such a puss on. The poor people that owned that house before them must
feel bad. To the previous owners I think you left
the house in beautiful condition.

Kate always says ” Speak kindly” When has
she ever spoken kindly to Jon? She feels that
her kids deserve all that house. What did they
do to deserve it. I’ll tell you. They have had all
their pee and poop discussed on tv to the
nth degree. I feel bad for the kids when they
go to school and the kids pick on them for their
poop. Kids can be mean. I really feel that the
kids have been exploited! I am not jealous at
all. I have a nice home and am very thankful for
everything that I have.

I do agree with the previous comments about
Kate’s :
This is ALL Mine
About Maddie kicking her sister
The way she speaks to Jon
The show about the fridg
Jon ” In the Woods” now he sounds like Kate
Tonight she yelled “you don’t wear shoes in my house”……to the repair man.

Kate is not the same person she was before.
The show that was on Feb 9th she looked like
she was on drugs. Picking on Jon, her eyes
were strange, foot up with pink slipper on just
Bitching all night and yawning.

TLC are you listening? The USA is in terrible
shape and we do not need to watch a family that
is ungrateful. Then to watch a whole truck full
of appliances be delivered. People are unemployed today, living in cars. Kate is a
Super Bitch and does not deserve any of this.
How is she any different than Octo Mom? Kate
had 6 eggs and Octo Mom had 6 put in but 2
split off. Please TLC listen to the comments.
It is “The Learning Channel” put something on
that we can learn.

And I am not jealous of the Gosselins. I am
a very happy 70 year old and very thankful
for everything that I have.

I would rather watch a season with the house moved in and focused on raising their brood, instead of getting new appliances, especially when the old ones were in good working order.

I’m an IT analyst and I couldn’t afford a 1.3k home and I’m much older and been in the business a lot longer compared to Jon. That being said good for them for turning their family life into a business and making a ton of money off it. Don’t get mad at them for all the free stuff they get, get mad at the companies for giving them the free stuff.

So why can’t a normal, hard-working family with 8 kids cash in on reality tv too? At least they’ve done something worthwhile with their life to earn it….they’ve raised EIGHT healthy kids!! Like any of you would turn down the chance to make some money if you had the chance. Please….anyone who has negative things to say about the Gosselins are just plain old jealous with nothing better to complain about online.

I still continue to like Jon and Kate’s show, even after all of the horrible and cruel blogs I have read about them. Nobody knows what is and is not true, but I choose to be positive and admire the family.
So WHAT, that she has people helping her. I would want help also. Imagine cleaning up, cleaning the house, taking care of you child’s well being, shopping for groceries, making 3 meals a day, and more, for all of them. Day after day after day. Where would she find ANY time to spend with her family if she was doing every single chore around the house. That wouldn’t be fair to her, and the fact that she can afford the help, then more power to her!
I don’t think they are being greedy. They are doing what any other normal person would do in their situation. She probably did not expect all this to come from the show, but since it has she is going to reap the benefits, and I would too.
I think it is wonderful that they have the time and money to make sure their children are well-socialized, well-taught, and able to travel and visit so many places the way they do. Like I have said before, any family would want that for their children, but we all know that not everyone can be rich. Besides, I don’t see them being too impractical with their money like corporate giants buying Mercedes or Rolls Royce’s. Jon and Kate drive a conversion van and a minivan because it is practical. And if they ever do decide to buy a luxury car down the road (or already have, I don’t know for sure), then go for it, they deserve it after raising all those children.
Jon and Kate need a house that big for all their kids, it definitely is not too much space. But again it is OK for CEO’s to have 5 homes for a family of 2. Those people can’t even be honest about how they make their money. We all know what happened with the economy. I don’t think Jon and Kate are being too extravagant at all.
Jon and Kate are extremely good parents and their children have been raised well. ALL KIDS hit, scream, kick, yell, fight, hurt each other, etc. So don’t judge! They are very smart kids, you can tell by their speech and they way they have grown up. They also can have very good manners, but at times they can slip up and say or do something mean. Everyone does. No one is perfect.
I have a lot of respect for Jon and Kate, as I would have LOST my mind by now with that many children. And I think they have handled their lives and situation very well.
Oh, and that yard sale money was all donated. I don’t see any reason to hate on Kate for selling items that she received for free. They were for a good cause.
And again, I agree that Kate doesn’t have the greatest personality type, but at least she is REAL. She isn’t trying to hide anything. We can all be snippy, angry, and rude. It happens. As I have said, people handle everything differently.
And about the dog. I too am a clean freak and just recently got a second puppy. I HATE having to clean up his messes, but that is the way it is going to be for awhile until he is trained. Kate will get upset, but she will get over it, just like I do. I don’t think they are dumb enough to get two new puppies and not know that they are going to pee all over and then get rid of them or treat them bad on television. They know what they are getting into, and if they can handle that many children, they can handle 2 dogs.

How about the wife working at Walmart in Colorado and her husband lost his job and unemployment ran out and he told her he loved her and shot himself….

You have 8 children– would you refuse the house? When you take on the responsibility of having children it includes providing for them to the best of your ability. So the show may not be AS interesting as it once was before they got a bunch of free stuff.. but they had cute kids and people like it. TLC got the money from the show- it was up to them to share it with them. So what? I hope they have a happy life there

I agree with Brenda. At first the show was fun to watch. It was more real with the every day struggles a family faces with so many children. Jon used to work, Kate used to stay home with the children. They had help from family now and then, but it was them raising their family. Then, the freebies started … Kate’s tummy tuck, Jon’s hair transplant, teeth whitening. Then the trips … Utah, Florida, North Carolina, Hawaii. No family can take that many vacations in such a short amount of time and not raise eyebrows. Now, with this million dollar mansion they are living in, Jon is not working, Kate is spending and whining and doesn’t even have any friends or family left at all anymore and everywhere you look, there are new items popping up in their house that most people have to wait and work for. Even a family of 10 doesn’t need two heavy duty washers and dryers! With people losing their homes, and jobs and the economy in a depression, it’s hard to watch Jon and Kate still taking advantage of all the freebies and flaunt what they are getting for free. I think they have capitalized enough on their children and have taken way more than their fair share. The kids are cute, but older now and how many more vacations and freebies can they get??? I don’t watch anymore. Once I read that they are hiding their assets through their attorney and that their children’s college funds were paid for at their birth, and that they have a chef, a housekeeper, groundskeeper and personal assistants, I decided enough is enough.

Jon and Kate DO work. They are paid for their time spent on this show. They also make money from books, speaking engagements, endorsements, etc.

The state of the economy isn’t Jon or Kate’s fault. They can afford this home, why shouldn’t they have it? It’s certainly not MY business how they spend their money, nor is it MY business if they are investing, saving or giving it away.

These people are PAID to be on this program. If the program weren’t doing so well, then they would be off the air. Apparently the sponsors of this program find it worthy of their sponsorship. It’s a free economy and that’s how it works.

If Kate is nasty to Jon, that’s Jon’s problem, not mine. It’s up to HIM to speak up or not…his choice.

And to all of you who said *Oh Not ME, I Would Never Have a TV Show with MY Children on It…”

I think that Kate and Jon do what has to be done to support their families. If they find that their children are having emotional issues, I have no doubt that they will get them the counseling that they need. Who is to say Mady isn’t already going to a therapist?

I have to say that the people that are being so negative on here have bigger issues than Kate does. They are doing the same exact thing they condemn her for doing which is speaking her mind. The huge difference is that she isn’t insulting and judging complete strangers. Yes, they let us into their lives, but that certainly does not mean that we know them. We see what TLC wants us to see.

As for the money, has it occurred to the people that are upset about the “freebies” that showing the restaurants, products, ski resorts, etc. on television is getting them publicity? Anything they give to the Gosselins, they receive compensation for in the form of new customers and guests who will spend a lot of money just because they saw it on this show. They aren’t giving away vacations because they are such generous companies that just want to help out. They want the publicity. Have any of those of you that are complaining about the Gosselins not working ever been in front of a tv camera? Have you ever had a camera crew in your home for your most personal moments? Have any of you ever stepped back to see how disconcerting this can be especially for someone who is not an introvert? Have you? I think not.

I also want to point out to those of you that feel that Kate is abusive to Jon that he is an adult. Anytime that he feels Kate is out of the line, he can tell her he’s had enough or her comments are inappropriate. I’ve seen him do it. Marriages don’t fail because of honesty in a relationship. They generally fail because of the lack of communication and the partners being dishonest . I certainly don’t see that being the reason this marriage would fail.

I think that Kate is certainly within her bounds to put their bedroom off limits. She needs somewhere she can have some privacy. There is also no reason that the children would have to be in their bedroom. If they are sick, are they going to feel better if they are in their parents’ bedroom? Absolutely not! They are going to be consoled by the fact that their parents are sitting by their bedsides reading them stories or bringing them soup.

I think it is great that Jon and Kate have this new home, so their kids can have their own space to spread out and develop their own unique personalities.
On February 23rd 2009, Mary wrote:

I think that fact that neither John or Kate are working outside the home, and all of their income is coming from their books and appearances is not sending the best message to their children. After all, fans are not tuning in to see the adults, it’s the kids bringing in the money, and we know what results childhood exploitation tends to have on children as they grow up.
The twins seems to really be suffering from the lack of spotlight put on them compared to the sextuplets. An what is up with Kate? Since the new season has started, she looks like she is too bored or tired to do the interviews. Her head on her hand through most of it is just rude.
It’s the fans that made your new house possible, show some respect.
Also, with the purchase of this new home, I would hope they would not continue to accept all the free trips, vacation rentals and merchandise. If one can buy a million dollar home, one should be able to take their family to the beach.
I think in a time when American’s are losing their jobs and homes by the thousands, this kind of compensation to a family that has done little more than give birth to multiples, shows what is wrong with our values and why we ended up in this mess in the first place.
We can’t congratulate their parenting, the kids are still in preschool. I’m reserving judgement until they graduate from high school with no pregnancies, drug addictions or eating disorders before patting their parents on the back.
After all, Kate has been a stay at home mom with considerable help ranging from people folding and putting away her laundry to nannies and cleaning ladies.
There are plenty of moms who have had just as many kids and got by with a lot less.
Lets not forget the Dilly’s in Indiana and raising six kids in a three bedroom house once the cameras didn’t find them so cute.

This is to Sick of the Opinionated Masses

Kate may not be “insulting and judging complete strangers”, but she is talking to the people who mean the most in the world to her; is that not worse? I know in my heart under all the mess Kate (and Jon) love eachother and their children, and I know life can get hard (especially with such a big family) but I just think that what is making so many people upset, Sick of the Opinionated Masses, is how she (and Jon at times) say one thing, but do another. They speak of their faith and how religion is important in their home but (99% of the time) do not speak to one another is a very loving or faithful way; and they say they worry about Mady, but do not lead by example (at times they cut to a clip of one of Kate’s tantrums and then to one of Mady’s and they look identical).

As for the freebies- do you really thing Jon and Kate need the “HELP” anymore? again saying one thing and doing another. Their are so many people right now REAL hurting who do not get to choose what free toys, trips, or outings their family gets, but rather if they can just survive one more day. I know Jon and Kate give back when they can and I think that is really great, but the moral thing to do now that they have the money and the time is to pay their own way. Also do you really think people are going to contunue to watch the show if it is nothing but a half hour long commerical. The reason people liked the show in the first place was to see a family just living their lives like the rest of us. The show no longer feels like that.

I agree with Mary, let’s hold our applause until these kids are older.

You people dont see what goes on behind the camera you dont see their actual fights or their actual intimate husband and wife moments, you just comment on what you actual can see, just as how you dont know if she doesnt have any friends, they may very well CHOOSE TO NOT BE in the spotlight thus you dont see them on the show TLC cant air people WITHOUT their consent, Kate is obviously more busy now with her family on 10 and her interviews etc, soooo you dont see her phone conversations OBVIOUSLY NOT because who would air a phone conversation where they cant hear to air the person on the other end. Be logical people stop criticizing her she didnt PLAN FOR 6ADDITIONAL KIDS she wanted “1 MORE AND ENDED UP WITH 6″ what would you do if that happened to you, take advantage of it, people are saying she should REFUSE it because they have a big house now…WHY???? how do you know people are gonna offer it to other families in need??? 8kids to ensure they are NEVER hungry MUST BE DIFFICULT planning for their future must stress them financially everyday, they are getting it free now so why not take advantage and save as much until it stops???

Be happy for them and please stop criticizing her and her husband. He loves her and she loves him despite what goes on and she has said it before they love each other its just that the stress level at times makes them do and say things and i’m sure every1 has experienced it sometime or the other….

seriously why is every1 HIGHLIGHTING mady yes she’s a brat and she is mean but come on YOUR CHILD ISNT PERFECT and if you had 8 KIDS to concentrate on you cant catch them every time they are being bad i am sure that sometimes their behavior willslip by you and am also sure that TLC highlights mady crabby moments because they realize that is what she’s known for thus the reason why mady is mostly seen in the episodes and cara is mostly scarce…dont yah think????

I think you are just jealous of the Gosselin’s good fortune. It is wonderful that they have this big beautiful new house. GOOD FOR THEM! They definately earned it. They have written books, they do guest appearances on all kinds of shows, they keep a hectic show schedule amid their very busy lives, Jon still works his full time job. I say, let them do well. They are a great wholesome american family with great values that a lot of negative people could learn from.

my daughter and 2 grown granddaughters waited for 3 hrs to buy kate’s book at hackman’s bible book store for my christmas gift.
we all watch the show but my daughter said it was very hurtful the way kate walked in, sat down never smiled or spoke to anyone at the signing and was heard by someone outside in the parking lot that kate said to whomever was helping her
“lets get this started and over with”
thats gratitute for all her fans waiting to make her richer.

jon and the kids are awesome with the exception of mady. she needs some major discipline and therapy.
i have 6 grandkids and i have never seen a child as nasty and mean spirited as mady. somehow i imagine kate being the same as a child since she still acts like a brat.
i know she’s proud to say she doesn’t care what people say or think of her..that should tell you all you need to know.
i could enjoy all the fantastic things and place they get given to them if just one time she could at least pretend to appreciate anything.it has nothing to do with jealousy but disrespect and an attitude of entitlement.i wonder why no grandparents are involved in these dear kids lives.
i sure wish i lived closer and could take them for a few hours and play and read to them.
you have to love the duggars, their 18 children are sweet and they are proud to wear hand me downs, used shoes etc.
kate..you really need to watch your own reality show and get a reality check.
you are turning many people off. you should kiss the ground jon walks on.

My wife and I watch the show also but lately and NO this has nothing to do with Jealousy, Kate is showing a side of her that is not nice. Jon has those looks at time that What the Hxxx is your problem. The house is nice but that only lasts for a while, right now it’s a novelty (newness thing) and they have to put their part in. You can only do this stuff for a short time like everything else TV the money well and ratings change the rules and they move on it’s just a matter of time and that is what is against them so they should wallow in it while they can. Heck they took a chance and it worked, that’s America.

So being harsh as a lot of posters are saying it’s not being harsh when some truth’s are being stated. Are we that blind that we don’t see what is happening. Like one other poster stated watch Maddy she is Holy Cow! a real brat and she is going to be a Real handful when she gets older you watch and see.

Again we like to watch the show also and giving opinion on it there is nothing wrong with that. It’s just comical to watch a tree falling an no one see’s it because they are to busy looking at the forest instead, “All good things must come to an end”

Good luck in their new short lived fortune.

I used to love this show as a lot of the posters did, however, I, too, feel the same way as so many people that Kate is just too annoying to watch anymore…when they got the puppies, I laughed out loud when they peed on her carpet…she’s a piece of work, very annoying, very rude, very stuck on herself and not worthy of Jon. If I do keep watching the show, which at this point I highly doubt I will, it’s because of Jon and the kids…Kate, you could be out of all the shows and they’d be more enjoyable to watch.

Did anyone notice that, when Dr. Glassman and his wife offered the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) that Kate asked for her breasts to be more “perky” because she said they were deflated. I saw that as her being an opportunist and trying to get all that she could. Luckily, it appeared that Dr. Glassman did not pick up on her attempt at getting all she could get and he recommended that she just get, “…a good, underwire bra”.
Kate seems to be very good at capitalizing on a great opportunity.
I, also, used to enjoy the show because, at first, they were inspiring; especially Jon. He is so genuine! It seems that he is totally in love with Kate. Now, I think that if Kate could lovingly “hug” her new set of washer and dryer, it shows in which direction her real values are going…
material things!

I forgot to mention that I, too, feel that Maddy does act inappropriately. She acts as if she is the authority figure and has to be the center of attention. She has a very condescending attitude. It is probably hard in such a large, public family for her to get some attention. However, if she were my daughter, I would get some professional help for her and nip this behavior in the bud. She will be a handful when she gets older if this is not addressed now.

Imagine the stress that woman is under with all of those children. I applaud her for the ability to keep the household in running order. Look at how many people struggle with 2 – 4 kids.
I’m sure that she needs private time with her husband at some point. They SHOULD have a space that is off limits to enjoy their limited time together alone. I take it none of you, your parents, or your grandparents had off limit formal rooms or privacy in their personal space??
I think that most of the negative comments on here are quite cruel and typical of someone who is judgmental. I would love to have a camera in some of your homes.
They needed this space and if they could afford it…then more power to them. You forget that the demand and viewership for the show has escalated and in return..the family prob negotiated for more money. Which one of you wouldnt have done that???
Do you whine when a ballplayer gets an outrageous amount of money to run up and down a field or court?? Its a GAME for crying out loud. Its okay to pay a professional athlete large sums of money …to heck with someone who is raising children!! That makes loads of sense.
And as far as exploitation of the children….how many of you watch movies or TV that employ child actors?? You realize that this show has brought them many blessings dont you??
I think instead of being jealous you should embrace this family and applaud them for their dedication to one another –instead of magnifying every tiny little flaw.
It’s sad to see so much negativity…people just don’t care about the struggle of their neighbors anymore. They thrive on despair and curse success. Its like you people want them to stay in a state of need. I dont pity them…I pity you for being so cold and uncaring.

(and you know that part of the reason they do it is for publicity) and back to my first point, yes the gosselins make tons of money from this show and they probly don’t deserve it all but there plenty of other people out there that we could be saying the same thing to, and just sit back and think about this for a second, wouldn’t u want to make millions of dollars off of a tv show about you? maybe not everyone would, but think of all the poeple that say, “I wanna be on tv” and then say “I wanna make lots of money” well, john and kate were lucky to have it all in one package.

Everyone who is saying anything negative is ridiculous. They deserve everything they’ve earned and/or been given. Their house is absolutely not too big…it’s not like every child has their own room…that would be extravagant. They are blessed to have what they do, and Jon and Kate, as well as the children, seem to be very grateful. Definitely. She’s an incredible mother, just amazing. If she didn’t stick to schedules and keep them in line as she does, it would be abosolute chaos. Those kids are incredibly well behaved. Obviously they’re going to have some mishaps and fights … that is inevitable with any siblings, let alone with 8 in one house. As for how Kate treats Jon, he loves it, they love each other, it’s clear. That’s bull about them not being Christian too. They are happy, appreciative, hard working people who love their children more than anything… I think they’re a wonderful family, who’ve been lucky.

Can’t wait to see,if one of the students from the twins school,brings in video,of Cara and Mady’s “potty moments” that some other kid (parent)has taped from “jon and Kate”,on TLC…gee,would the gosselin lovers think that’s okay? Or would they draw a line in the sand,saying…tsk.,”too bad someone actually taped that?Guess not,cause Kate and Jon are SUCH good parents,and they deserve everything.”Who in their right mind allows their kids bathroom habits to be filmed–unless you are,or are getting paid by a “pervert” of a production company.

The money that the CHILDREN are bringing in should be put in savings for college, cars, their future, NOT so Kate can live in luxury! Yes, they have 3 more children than I do, But I know a family with 9 kids that live in a home smaller than the one the Gosselins just moved from! Just because you have a large family does NOT mean you need such a large home. You can do fine without a tummy tuck (trust me.. I KNOW what twin skin can do.. and my twins birth weights were only 5 lbs smaller than her 6 kids she carried!), a nanny, a chef, a housekeeper. GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING LIKE THE REST OF THE STAY AT HOME MOMS DO to get it done!

The show when it came out was good showing the ups and downs of a real life family we can all relate to that. Now the whole thing makes me wonder was there a plot before the kids were born. Don’t get me wrong i’m gald the kids are being taken care of but what will happen in the future. How far will they take it ? They have to remember that the kids come first and that this may go straight to heads as they get older if it hasn’t already. The public knows they were getting free stuff and now even more. I would love to take my childern to all of the places they have been not going to happpen anytime soon for my family . I think life is what you make of it and if they make a mess of it they will pay for later.

They also have maids that come in and clean and a chef that cooks when the camera’s are not there, so Kate dont do all that herself.
They are a lucky family but at the sametime they have problems too. The grass isnt always greener on the other side.

She spoke to the camera, meaning us and she was more friendly. Now she talks to her cameraman or men but never to her viewers unless shes with Jon in their chair. I think she’s alot more self absorbed and she has chased away all her friends and family because of her greed of money. One day this show will end and her kids will grow up and Kate will be all alone with her money, isn’t that a sad senerio.

I suppose it would make you happy if there were no show. Then the Gosselin family would be broke. That way they could not go on any of the trips that you guys think are so “awful” for the kids. Jon would have to work non stop to provide for the family while Kate cared for the children by herself. That definitely makes for a strong family unit. College would be out of the question. While I agree Kate can sometimes be over the top, you guys make her look like a saint. As far as the new house goes, well why not? It’s a good investment, it meets their needs and gives them room to grow. Think about future spouses for the children and grandchildren. Just because we all cannot afford a large home doesn’t mean we should bedrudge them. Good grief people, what’s with all the sour grapes?

Why don’t you guys worry about the people ripping off the government having tons of babies not because they want children but so they can live off welfare and not work because welfare makes it easier for you NOT to work as oppose to working. Stop worrying about what Jon and Kate are doing. They have issues just like everyone else and it doesn’t help having prudes worry about stuff that is non of their business.

Taken from the website:

In case you haven’t heard of Jon and Kate Gosselin, they’re the stars of TLC’s most popular “reality” show, Jon & Kate Plus 8. The couple has one set of twins and one set of sextuplets.

John is the laid-back, quiet, pushover husband, while Kate is the bitchy, controlling, pain-in-the-ass wife. And that’s putting it nicely.

Although the couple seem to have a “loving” relationship on the show, that might not really be the case when the cameras are off.

Jon said about filming the show that, “We’re having a good time — a blast,” however it looks like he might have been embellishing a bit.

In Touch Weekly is reporting that Jon is spending increasing amounts of time in Huntingdon, Pa., near where his mom lives, three hours away from the home he shares with Kate and their eight children.

And, on February 6th, Jon showed up to a Juniata College house party.

WTF??????

“He walked in with two girls he met at Mimi’s bar,” senior Evan Heisman tells In Touch. “It was so cool.” According to witnesses, Jon played beer pong with some girls on the volleyball team and then joined a group of students who headed to Memories bar for a nightcap. “We were talking and chilling,” reveals Heisman. Jon returned to Memories the next evening. “He was obliterated,” says Pott. “Juniata girls were flirting with him and he was loving it and having a great time.” “We might be getting a divorce,” Chloe Pott, a junior at Juniata College, heard Jon tell her friend at Memories bar on February 7.

Kate is gonna lose her shit!

Wonder if they’ll mention any of this on their “reality” show, soon to be titled Jon Plus 8 Minus Kate.

I have been a loyal fan of this show from the start and with in the last year it’s gotten to where I don’t want my kids seeing this type of behavior. Mady (Bless this child’s heart) abusive, physical outburst. And the way she talks to her parents and other people around her, No matter what the case. It’s sad, where is the discipline and structure Kate is so proud of around this situation. My daughter (11) even said “Wow, that’s not being very Thankful is it” My DAUGHTER 11 Years Old. If the children can see it why can’t the adults. I must say people are not perfect and no one should expect TV shows to be but in this case when every blog and email is negative about her behavior and the turn the TV show has taken, I believe I would take that in the same way as if my boss were disciplining me in my job performance. After all they only are able to have the show as long as it has viewers…When the ratings go down the show goes also. So going on the assumption all things are not as they seem and some to most of the show and its activities are “Planned” wouldn’t you think her behavior would be more planned and structured for the longevity of the show . . .And for the long term financial responsibilities of the kids, after all this is how they provide for them. I realize she has also written a book or 2 but again if people are sick of her attitude and do not buy it any longer there would not be any support from it. It simply best said they were a good family but the environment around them changed therefore so did they….Not necessarily for the best in most opinions. But the catch is what will you do with it….That’s the only thing that will make the difference.

No way! I don’t know where some of you people live but even here in Iowa, a $1.3 million home is quite beautiful but nothing like the celebrities have. Seriously, do you honestly feel like squashing 10 people in the home they were in before with camera crews, lighting crews, etc would be fun? There is at LEAST as many people behind the scenes filming as the Gosselin family! Maybe you’ve never been on a television set, but think about it, guys. I say more power to them! I’ll continue to watch their show until they decide they’ve had enough of the cameras, people judging them, etc. To be honest, I wonder sometimes why Jon is even working? I’m sure it’s only because all the jealous people on sites like this will complain if he left his job. I think it’s fair the family earns a MINIMUM of 5 times the cost of their home per year of filming. Isn’t that what you’d expect? I mean, William Petersen on CSI was making $500,000 per EPISODE when he left the show. The Gosselin’s bought a $1.3 million house. Big deal! Real estate agents in the area I’m from have more expensive homes than that! Go to work and quit worrying that the Gosselins are receiving handouts, they EARN their money. The companies who give them what you are calling freebies are seeing increases in business as a result of the Gosselin’s being filmed at their establishments–it’s called ADVERTISING. Start your own businesses and you’ll see very quickly how the real world works!

I don’t understand why people think Kate is “mean” to Jon.

Maybe it is because I’m Southern, but their relationship reminds me of my mine with my husband as well as most of the other happily married couples I know.

Kate maybe a conrtol freak, but with a household of 10, somebody better be or the whole thing would collapse.

I’m happy they have a new house and assume it is already paid for and that the upkeep and taxes will be paid even when the show is finished.

When the little kids go off to school, I would not be surprised to see Kate go back to work as an RN and Jon return back to his work.

The “experts” say that the first 6 years of a child’s life are the most important and that basically who you are at 6 is who you will be as an adult.

Therefore, it is trully a blessing that God gave Jon and Kate the means through their show to both be there full time during this period of development.

I like this show, love the kids, and think Jon and Kate really love each other and that how they relate works for them.

As for the people who are upset about the new big house, I just wonder if they are eqally put off by all the updates to the Roloff farm on Little people, Big World?

If Jon and Kate had stayed in the old house and put all the money in the bank, people would probably complain then that they are selfish hording the money while the kids suffer in such a small house.

It is unfortunate that some always want to be negative and must find fault all the time.

I will not criticize the way Kate belittles Jon, Mattie behaves or the screaming and hitting. These are ALL part of growing up and living.

It’s sad what people consider entertainment these days! Jon & Kate are pimping their kids so they can fatten their own wallets. What the kids need is a life away from cameras. Most children are lucky enough to have parents that are concerned for the welfare of their children, not making money off the children.

I don’t anyone who’d allow their children to be in this situation. Reality shows for adults is one thing, but when they involve their children, it’s not acceptable.

I just spent a very long time reading this opinion novel…. I guess it became somewhat addicting. i was intrigued, disgusted, but not shocked. i understand that people generally go public for money and they were well aware of this at the time. i am not jealous, envious or wish for a moment to be in their shoes. Being from Canada, I find the similarities of putting children on public display for profit and self fulfillment a selfish act that is not with out dire consequence. Jon and Kate, don’t forget the small stuff and where you came from and how you made it back then and likely loved each other more in a simpler lifetime. Readers, take a moment and read up on the Dionne quintuplets. Same story, different time in life, and a sadly tragic outcome.

I think it’s wonderful that the Gosselins have a new and very spacious home. The kids are still fairly young right now but the house will be even more enjoyed as they get older.
Lately, although I love to watch their show, I’ve been having a hard time with the way Kate is with Jon. He appears to be pretty laid back but you can see how flustered he gets when she is always putting him down. My advice to Kate is to ease up, and to appreciate him as if you think the grass is greener on the other side, you’ll find out it’s not. Sometimes, it bothers me so much that I talk back to you on the TV. I know it’s a lot of work with so many kiddos – but – you need to find another outlet for your frustrations.

Praised the Lord for the new house? You mean “Praise The children” as its them who paid for the home no kids… no show.

I would like to know why Kate isn’t telling people who really wrote her best selling book. For those who don’t know it was Beth Carson, Jon & Kate were only the contributors. Beth herself said and quote “”Kate seemed relieved and happy when I offered to write the book since she knew I was so familiar with her story,” she said.”
http://www.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=117302
It was after Beth gave this interview that Kate kicked Beth out of her life. The Carson’s have sold their Berk’s county home and left the area.
Kate from what is shown in interviews has kicked anyone from her life that makes her face things.

Yes TLC was going to pay Jodi Gosselin Kate’s sister in-law a per-diem for her time but Kate found out a year in advance about TLC’s offer before Jodi did and squelched it..one of the TV crew didn’t like the deceptiveness and told Jodi who confronted Kate and why was the offer hidden. Kate blew up at her and screamed” IF ANYONES GOING TO MAKE MONEY OFF OUR CHILDREN, IT’S US!!.”

This was taken off Jodi’s sisters blog about the behind the scenes before they were taken down so Jodi could move on..But the video will be all over the web forever. Jodi did say what was posted on her sisters blog was all true as to behind the scenes as to the show. You can see her say so in the video.
http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/2008/08/23/jon-and-kate-plus-eight-gets-nasty-aunt-jodi-tells-her-side/comment-page-29/

David Rothermel was Jon’s former boss and owner of a custom cabinetry business in Lancaster County (and also a friend of Jon’s parents) during Kate’s second pregnancy with the tups. He’s the guy singled out during Jon and Kate’s speaking engagements as the man who “did not want to insure Jon..they just let him go.”
However, Rothermel says its not true and the supporting Pennsylvania State documents prove that Jon Gosselin was fired for other reasons.

The Pennsylvania State Unemployment office ruled that Jon improperly did a side job on company time {a BIG No no} which would get anyone fired from any job if they were to do the same.

Heck I’d fire anyone who did that too. Rothermel also claims that before the babies were even born that Jon was on the phone and the Internet soliciting freebies {Kate’s a good teacher eh?}and boasting openly that he was never going to have to work again. On the show Twins & Sextuplets Kate herself is shown and talking about mailing out VHS tapes to TV stations.

So the Pennsylvania State Unemployment office is lying about Jon?? or are THEY?
Funny that they never bring up the point that their State has official documents proving so.
http://www.phillymag.com/articles/jon_and_kate_gosselin/page1

So guess who footed the bill for the Gosselins bills? THE TAX PAYERS OF PENNSYLVANIA! THEY paid for the million dollar plus hospital bills. Medicare paid for their nurses etc etc.

So now whats that about the Gosselins NOT being like Octomom as some are saying?

NO parent should want the so called “Values” that the Gosselins are teaching..unless you want to teach your child to be a liar and a scammer to get what you want in life.

People WAKE UP, you are being taken for a ride by these two. I feel sorry for the kids as one day they will be seeing the actions their parents have done, and I doubt they will be too happy.

If you had 8 children (6 all at once) and were put in the financial situation that they were, you would damn sure sign on that dotted line for a reality show, especially if you knew it would provide financial means for your children. It’s called doing what you have to do for your family! Should they have been on welfare all these years? Then you’d all complain about that. Let’s just stop hating and appreciate the fact that they’re taking good care of their children. That’s the choice that they made and they are handling it. What any of it has to do with you bunch of haters is beyond me. It’s like you have nothing better to do than find fault with those who are living their lives happily. It’s called jealousy. You’re not in that situation, so how the hell would you know the right or wrong way to handle it? You don’t! Plus, none of you are forced to watch it. But I’ll bet you do.

I have two sons and a husband who do nothing to pick up after themselves and clean, do laundry for a very large home with 2 dogs and 2 birds. All the nonsense I deal with on a daily basis makes me short-tempered, I cannot believe Kate is holding it together as well as she has! The most important thing are the children and if people don’t like the way things have turned out, too bad. I haven’t been out with girlfriends in 22 years and don’t deal with family because I’m too busy dealing with my own home issues. Why is it if a woman is opinionated or short she’s a bitch and yet if a man is that way he’s strong? I married an Italian and I need to have the comebacks just so I’m not treated like a doormat. The wolrd is a mess, yes, there will always be people who have more than you do, get over it. I’m always happy for those who are doing well (as long as it isn’t from inheritance and they earned it).

To Jessie–Kate Gosselin has a major problem with being in control. When she loses control,she has a “meltdown”, and yells at everyone around her. IMO she hasn;t learned the art of patience yet,it’s apparent she does more yelling and finger pointing than coming to terms with the fact she can’t control everything. And she loves to blame everyone else for her woes,instead of taking responsibility for her own failures in life. She’s not a nice person to watch,or to listen to.Maybe she should try looking in the mirror for a change,and ,for an answer to her problems.She’s one messed-up individual.I feel sorry for all the kids, they’re going to wind up as messed-up as she is.

I just don’t understand a few things. First of all Jon and Kate say they were so surprised when they found out they were expecting 6. Well I also suffer from PCOS (as Kate claims to however has none of the other symptoms other than infertility) and have gone through IUI also the same procedure Kate had done for both pregnancies. I was fully aware of how many folicles or “eggs” I had at the time of the incemination. Prior to my last IUI (which blessed me with my awesome son), my husband and I had gone in to have an IUI done when I was informed prior to the incemination that I had 7 folicles and the chance that 5 or more would become fertile was 90%! My husband and I made a choice to thank the dr. for the information and let him know we would try again the next month. Neither my husband or myself would choose to terminate part of the embryos had that many become fertile (also the same thing as Jon and Kate). Therefore, why doesn’t anyone ever stop and say “wait they put themselves in the place of having two sets of multiples. Let them figure out how to live life without handouts!” Had they not recieved a TV offer or any kind of handout or “freebies” where would they be, what would they do? They had to know that they had a chance of becomming pregnant with that many babies and yet they went through with the IUI. Maybe their impatientness got the better of them or maybe the saw dollar signs from the very begining! You be the judge but in my book things just don’t add up. By the way PCOS is a disease that also makes you insulin resistant and you need to be diligent with diet and monitoring your blood sugar. Neither of which I ever see/ hear her doing. And uncontrolled weight gain in the middle or “spare tire syndrome” are also tell tale signs of PCOS. I don’t see that effecting her either…. or maybe she has been given lipo too!!

I cant believe how pathetic the people who are who complain about the Gossleins and Kate in particular. She takes better care of those 8 kids than countless mothers who only have a couple or few kids.

Why aren’t more people bothered by all the dead beats on welfare and imigrants coming here in the droves living off tax payers. Why aren’t more people pissed off about the people who can sing well and shake their ass, or grunt into a microphone (and call it rap), or run fast and pass a ball, or ride a motorcross bike, or act in movie or sitcom and they make millions upon millions and have a lifestyle and own so many material things to the point of obscenity. Watch MTV cribs.

If you are pissed about people who got pregnant with mulitple children – the Gosselins are old news. I think that woman (the Octomom) who got pregant with 8 and had 6 to begin with (3 with special needs) and she’s not married, or doesnt have a skill (like being a nurse) and we can all bet the first 6 weren’t being taken care of properly and now she 8 babies….IS A MUCH BETTER TARGET !!

Leave Kate alone – she’s a typical Type A personality and the world is full of them. I’m sure if you all got to watch reality shows that showed the real personalities of actors, singers “artists”, and athletes 1/2 the world would be turned off and repulsed.

So what if they chose to put their lives on t.v. – they are going to get paid for it….and a 1.3 million dollar house really isnt anything these days. If companies and organizations want to give them free stuff for purposes of publicity – so what? That doesn’t happen to athletes or celebrities?

To those who want to find something to complain about – watch MTV cribs. The way that most celebrity hollywood types live is beyond excessive greed.

And wait til they go to school and someone says Alexis we saw your poop in the potty and Collin we saw your daddy pulling poop from your behind with the help of a pastic bag.And we saw yall naked in the bathtub.And boys yall wore diapers for a long time.Can you imagine the names these kids will be called.Just wait and see these kids have a big row to hoe…Thanks Mommy and Daddy.

Face it, if ms.control freak has any hope of saving her marriage,she better get the h off of the “book and tv circuit” ,and figure-out a way to come to terms with her crumbling marriage.It’s no wonder Jon’s been in the company of other women-women he’s not married to,and apparently loves to have a good time with. Kate’s the biggest Bi**** on the face of the planet,and now it’s come back to bite her in the a**.If I was Jonboy,I’d be running for the front door as fast as my legs would carry me…next reality show?

It’s not over the top and completely makes sence for this family of 10. I’m sorry people have so much time on their hand to be so mean to a family who chose a way they feel gave to their family.

Jon and Kate, My husband and I have 14 children and 13 are adopted. We right now have a few people wanting to send us in to extreme makeover and after I have read all of the ANGRY people because you and your family are blessed with this big house, I am really afraid that people will turn away from our family and be mad. We are right now in some hard times because my husband has lost his job and he is now going deaf(75%). We really need a new home but I just do not know if I could get past the many people that are so mad because we NEED this. We have several special needs children and we have 4 boys in one bedroom and 4 girls in one bedroom. I really need to be able to talk with you becuase I do not want to make the mistake of my life.I am always happy for people who receive blessings becuase most of the time we do not know the proce that is paid for the GIFTS we get. I have had very little given to me and mainly becuase I am always afraid to accept things from people. We have had several people calling and telling us that we would have a wonderful show if we were on TLC. I do not know again that I would want to hear all of the critcism. People are really hard sometimes. I can tell you that as a mom of many children, people do not often understand someone having or wanting to adopt many children but I have always felt as long as we could make a difference in the lives of children, we would. My family is several different races and we are raising great children. I think we are in the middle ground of the Duggers and you and Jon. My husband is my best friend and our children are between 4-19 at home. Keep doing a good job. I KNOW IT IS DIFFICULT IN MANY WAYS TO HAVE MANY CHILDREN BUT IT IS SO REWARDING.God Bless you.. Please let me know what you feel about the questions about extreme makeover.

That house is ridiculous and completely destroys the whole basis for the show. The whole point of the show is that it takes two parents working together non stop to raise 8 kids while they work to scrape by, but that its a labor of love and its the “family” strength that wins out, not the size of the house or the trips and handouts.

If they have been handed a million dollar mansion and household help and trips, etc etc etc, and they have time to go speak for $$$ about raising 8 kids or time to poke college girls, then they really are not as frazzled o

TLC, and kate Gosselin have created this frankenstein of a reality show. TLC is screwed,no matter which approach it takes in dealing with this latest round of infidelity. If tlc chooses to address the problem,then they are acknowledging that indeed they are major problems inside the gosselin household and that perhaps they’ve (tlc) been stringing the viewer along for quite some time,and the show is not based on what they’ve promoted to the public.Kate’s booksignings will become nothing more than a laughing matter,something to merely point and stare at, nothing more.Kate as an author?, don’t think so.She can’t even be believed as a wife and mother,never mind an “author”. If tlc chooses to not acknowledge the problems in the household,hoping that the viewer is as stupid and blind as they hope they are, then tlc will be seen as coming down in favour of infidelities,thus falling out of favour with certain “interest groups”,and at the same time losing ratings.And in this day and age,no network can risk lousy ratings.It’s akin to a death sentence. So let’s see how tlc deals with this. Yah,or nay…
The other thought is, how long before one of the kids “peers” will take it upon themselves,to whip out the latest edition of People or Us magazine,and actually show those poor exploited children the articles and headlines their parents generated in recent memory.I can see it now—schoolyard arguement….”here Mady and Cara,look at this!”…score points for all of us who said long ago, “told ya so”. What’s kate gonna do-buy up every single issue of different magazines so her kids don’t see what went on?? And trust me,someone ,somewhere along the line will make damn sure the kids see the tabloids.Did kate and tlc never think of this possibility? Hope kate’s got a bucketload of cash saved-up for the kids future therapy bills. I’m sure kate and jon came to an agreement long ago–provided he keeps his “daliances” out of the spotlight,kate’s free to hit the pavement hawking her latest selling point.I expect to see her on the home shopping channel anytime now… at any rate,just remember, gossip has brought down the careers and livelyhoods of far more important people than the two pitiful main players in this soap-opera.In a short time,the name gosselin will be long forgotten.

Hey Kate, are we all going to have to pay that bill too. I hate to say it, but Kate, your lovely disposition has for surely driven Jon into the arms of another. Go back and look at those first movies of the two of you. You didn’t have anything and you were happy. Don’t you know that money is “THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL”. And so what, the cribs donated by your dad’s church did not match. The reality is that most of us that have children, do not have matching furniture. You should be grateful for what you do have.

The Gosselin family has worked hard. Don’t think things are given to them. The show has been a way to support their family. With 8 children, I think it was pretty creative. The sponsors of their trips get free advertisement. Rightly so, that she gets paid for interviews and talking engagements, she is providing a service. It is the American way. I have climbed the ladder through education and hard work, but friends not as financially successful as I am make comments on how lucky I am to have such I great job. It has nothing to do with luck, it required working full time and going to school at night and making many sacrifices. That is the way I feel about the Gosselin’s – they have worked hard and made sacrifices to provide for their family and have not gone on welfare and food stamps. Kudos to the Gosselins.
On May 15th 2009, Amber wrote:

First of all before I post this comment, I am NOT jealous of their situation in the least. I would not wish for 8 children nor would I wish for the constant media circus they call life. I absolutely love the show, the children are some of the most beautiful kids I have ever seen. They’re funny, adorable, and make for great TV. As far as the new house goes, yes I completely believe they deserve it. The space is amazing, those kids will need it as they get older. I grew up with a family of 6 w/ 5 bedrooms, enough for everyone to have their own & it still wasn’t nearly enough. However, the excess of land may be a little over the top. Whether or not TLC bought this for them is not the question, yes I do believe they exploit their children for what they have, & yes some of their children may end up resenting them for it, but it is what it is & if this is the way for them to make ends meet then so be it. But seriously, Kate, what did you think you were getting yourself into when you were garunteed at least 3-4 babies your second time around w/ fertility treatments? I love the 8 children, however, Kate needs to get a reality check (which from my assumption in the news lately, she will be getting soon). She is down right obnoxious. There is NEVER a need to criticize your husband for something silly like something he said, it is going to be broadcasted nationwide & you think that is ok? Jon is probably not perfect & probably has many many of his own very annoying flaws, but she married him & started this life w/ him, so deal. She puts him down constantly, no wonder he is trying to find comfort in someone elses arms…I’m not one for believing in infidelity, but if she was my wife, I’d have to do the same. What are those kids going to say when they watch this show 10 yrs from now? I know the stress is tough on her but that is what they make spas & “mommy” mini-vacations for. If they can take numerous vacations together on the show, I’m pretty sure she can find the time to do things for herself, esp. if she has all the help around to watch the kids. The show is genius, I would never wish it upon myself, but I do give them all credit for what they do, I do wish it would go back to like it was in the beginning. It just seemed much more true to the heart back then…I don’t walk in there shoes and again I don’t want to, but seriously, get a grip on reality & stop making yourself look like such an ass (Kate).

Any who, I am a HUGE fan of Jon and Kate. I think that the people that comment on these blogs with only negative things to say should try raising those children yourself, in a house the size of their first home. I highly doubt that you would claim it was a walk in the park. I can also almost assure you that you would constantly bicker with your spouse as well.

Why do you care if they have a lot of money, or if they have seem to have “lost their morals” or if they have let fame take over? It is not your life. You can make judgements all you want, but I am sure they are trying to do what they think is right, just like any other set of parents.

I applaud Jon and Kate for what they do everyday. I have three children and sometimes I go absolutely crazy. They have a hard life, no doubt, but they are doing their best.

I think we should all take a look in a different direction here. Yes we are blaming the KONS for how they are but if you really think about this and pick it apart do the letters TLC mean anything? I mean face it, THE LEARNING CHANNEL is a lot to blame for all this when you break it down. They should be called THE TEACHING CHANNEL since they very well likely had a lot of influence on how the KONS came to be, by teaching them the real way of life in a reality show. I mean we know the filming crew is in that house. And the producers must have given the KONS some idea on how far all this could go. Let’s face it the KONS could not have demanded that this show, or their way of life would come from their own demands. So we sit here and we either put the KONS down or we are for them. But TLC is getting passed up all along and I put the blame on the show for how this family turned out. And how far TLC is taking this we are now into season 5. I’d say some of the bashing should be put on the TLC producers/show.

I am sure most of the way things appear can be explained. But what I cannot understand is how John and Kate show NO love towards one another. No kissing in fact. Kate constantly goes around complaining how exhausted she is. I want everyone to pay close attention to that word in future shows. She says it all the time. I love watching her sit in her white plastic chair shouting orders at John. Finally John strikes back and stands up to her. John gives the kids showers, brushes their teeth, dresses the kids, he plays with them….what does Kate do? NOTHING, I mean come on, she is exhausted. How can she even care for her kids the word exhausted is making her too tired. Too much lip service keeps her exhausted.

AS for TLC, what are they going to do for the family on their show called Table for 12? It will be interesting to see if they change much. I don’t watch this show I cannot get into it since TLC or is it John and Kate (KONS) ruined it for me? Now the Duggar family or 18 Kids and Counting they are already stable and TLC CANNOT change a good christian family.

Stress is part of being a mother. She makes herself stressed out, regardless the number of children she has.

HOW can any “Christian” church PAY THEM to speak? Kate is EVIL! I can see it in her eyes! As for them being “hard-working” that is nonsense! JON HAS NOT WORKED FOR YEARS and Kate views her “performance” on TV as her work. The crew is there 3 days a week so they have their privacy 4 days a week. (That means they only work 24 hours a week.) . They are paid 2.6 million by TLC to pimp their children! Child labor is supposed to be against the law, but Kate demands that her brats exhibit themselves and work so she can get rich! Greedy cow!

well ,well..looks like these two have filled their pot with gold ,and some..
Maybe now ,Kate will get on with playing the role of mum again…..no more pityful excuses that they “need money for college..trips abroad….clothes etc etc”..guess there can`t be a person on earth silly enough to still think they need more??
So..can kate please now GO HOME>.quit the ludicrous book tours….and get back to the sweet ,innocent children ,who have afforded you every luxury…
Your place is with THEM..not the general public…

I fell in love with the “concept” of the show and was impressed that this couple made a choice not to select/terminate any of the babies.

I’ve always gotten the heebies from Kate, even when she was a rumpled mess. She was still OCD and freaky. As the show has progressed, so has Kate and her neurotic behavior. Enough already. I’m really surprised the show got picked up for another season of Kate’s demands and slaps. The older twins (Maddy in particular) are Kate mini-me’s. Before long they will be slapping the boys and screaming demands. Oh, wait, one of them does!

Go away, go away, go away. Work out your problems like the rest of the real world. Use all of the free loot and perks to set up a fund for therapy for the children. PA….DHR….where are you?

And although HAIR should not be an issue…..dear sweet Jesus….what is that style Kate is trying to wear. It’s as if the stylist gave her great color, and shape in the front then handed some shears to the kids. Holy Hannah! Chicken feathers galore. With all of the sponsors, would someone PLEASE show Kate how to glue down that row of feathers she so proudly struts around with?

Yeah, so here’s to the new season that I will not be watching. I love how “doubtful dad” broke it down for us during his May 17th comment.

Thank God for TNT, BRAVO….any other option besides TLC. I don’t even want to watch the Duggars any longer because of how this show and the producers are scam artists.

Jon, you need an iron skillet for the next time Kate slaps you. I’m just sayin’ is all…..:)

and everyone that is complaining. i think you all are ridiculous! and very jealous!

the gosselins to get donations from friends and familys. just as im sure your friends and family give your kids hand-me-down clothes. or things they dont need anymore.
and they are always so grateful for everything. inclusing their vacations. if you had a tv show im sure people would offer you vacations too. its a great way to get publicity for places!
its part of life. suck it up.

and whoever made the “octomom” comment. there is a huge difference!
octomom was broke and COULD concieve children. she had already naturally concieved 6!
jon and kate could NOT naturally convieve children.

and those who think their kids will be embarrassed about certain things shown on tv. their poop? im sure most of you have told your other mommy friends funny stories about your children too.

i think some of you people are hateful and jeaous.
i think these are great people. everyone goes through rough times.
if you dont like the show. then why watch it?
its life people. just not yours.

i love the gosselins! jon and kate are great. and the kids are awesome sweet children. i hope they work through whatever problems they have.
i love and support their show!
god bless them!

I never watched the show before but since they bought my parent’s house, of course I had to watch it. I was disgusted to see Kate bash my house…my siblings and I grew up in that house, great memories. It was sad to leave such a beatiful home but it was even more sad to hear Kate make those rude comments. I really hope she doesn;t make that mistake again because my family doesn’t deserve it!

I have watched this show on and off since the beginning. I will be interested to see how they address the issues that have popped up recently on Monday however, I think that will be the last show I watch for a couple of reasons: 1) the way kate berates jon is terrible. I would be moritifed to have this televised. 2) I am sick and tired of how they act like it is a struggle for all their trips, they have people helping them out and they are not paying for anything (believe me, I am not jealous because I can pay for these same things). 3) Why did they make such a big deal of renewing their wedding vows if they were not in the ’same place’…just to get a trip to hawaii? 4) I believe that this is starting to get to affect the kids (did you ever watch maddy and how she acts??). I agree with everyone who says it is time to end the show as people will turn away as this will begin to focus on jon and kate not the eight.

The house is gorgeous! I wouldn’t want to taxes on it though. I pray for them all the time. I love the family. I hope they consider talking to their pastor about their marriage and each is ready to make changes, even if it’s some they both don’t want. The Lord is with them always and they need, agaIn, to put Him first.
I can see, from what tv shows us, they are different yet alike. Allow the freshness of the love they shared begin again. It can. Maybe they need to cut back on the hours people are in their house or certain days of the week. If not, sell the house, and put most of the money aside for the future and get a large house, but one that doesn’t have it all. Remember the Lord giveth and He also can take away.
I am cheeing for them, especially the children. They are adorable and happy. Let’s keep it that way, They didn’t ask to be brought into the world but they are, and need to each have a happy family life. You can see the love too. They are adorable.
I have 5 beautful children. One passed away 3 years ago and left a husband and 2 toddlers. If Kate and Jon could see how sad and how much they both cry for their mommy, I bet they would get it fast. I hope so.

I hope jon and kate read this. I really wanted to email them or write but am obviously unable to mange to figure out how. I am an old woman…well…old enough to be their parent …and i want them to know i applaud them. I think they do a wonderful job with the kids. They are very well behaved and friendly children. ALL of our children throw tantrums. and yell and fight. It is something children do. Some of the folks that watch who have little experience or knowledge of family life think maybe it is always perfect. It is NOT. Everyone makes bad decisions but when you have a family and a life together you go on and deal with it. It is a shame for them that they have to deal with it in front of all of us. BUT then again…it is helping to pay for the house and all the things they get to do with the kids. Working outside the home is not all it is cracked up to be just as 24/7 caregiver is not “working at home” lol. More power to them for providing for their kids and doing their best to get them raised right. I pray for them every day and i know God is looking out for them. Let go and Let God.

I have a problem with watching your shows now because you are not being truthful to your viewers. Kate, you have a contract for Jon so he can see other people but has to show up for your tv shows and pretend you are a happy couple. That is sooo wrong. My daughter even made the comment that maybe they are just trying to keep the viewers focused on them because the octo mom is getting a lot of attention. You are all over the tabloids about you marriage breakdown. Where does that leave those precious kids…..sooo sad

FIRST: For all of you who bash on this family so much and hate their show, I have only one question….Why do you take time out ot your busy little day to write endlessly on how much you hate Kate and the show?? and you all sure know a lot about the family and how the show works to hate the show so much…I don’t know why you would watch something that you hate and have no interest in! ODD…

SECOND: It is always sad to see any family torn apart by divorce, but honestly Jon is an adult with responsibilities and he has let his kids down and his wife …no matter what he thinks and if he was or is unhappy use your words and express how you feel man…grow a pair and keep it in your pants.

THIRD: None of us are perfect, despite what some of you may think about yourselves, Jon and Kate are struggling with what many in our great country deal with everyday…times are hard and people change, but our choices define who we are and if nothing else family is sometimes all we have. Don’t be stupid, even if you don’t like this show or the people on it learn from their mistakes….reality T.V.

Kate is a control freak, everything has to be her way all the time. John used to knock himself out to please her, but Kate is too full of herself to really care about John. She plays to the camera “Look everyone, see how exhausted I am and what I have to put up with?” I don`t think she likes men, she likes to belittle them. Even her haircut is “butch”. I think she all for show…no wonder John got sick of her!

I dont like how kate always yips at john ,she correct him when he speaks.
The show is scripted, and kate has help with the children and the housework and laundry.She went from a normal lokking women to being all prissy.! She needs to show her husband a little more affection.
She must remember that it was john and kate fisrt. Then came the children!
If she keeps barking at him, of coarse any
woman that shows him some affection that
he is not giving him at home will sound inviting to him! I dont believe that she is so
into doing everything perfect with the children. I think that is an act. She needs to work on her marraige first , Because if you are not happy in a marraige it diffinitly effects the children. So my advice for kate is to treat john like a husband and not a child.Remember ,he was first in her life ,then came the children!
I wish them the best! And kate chill you dont have to be so perfect.

I say believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.I for one am doing the most powerful thing I know to do for Jon&Kate.I’m praying for there marriage to survive and for the show to go on.I have fallen in love with all of them and hope they continue on for years to come.Thank you and B blessed

Give them a break. They are doing a wonderful job. It’s no day at the beach to raise 8 kids.

I am not thrilled how Kate says that her kids deserve a huge house. My kids deserved a huge house when they were growing up also. they didn’t get one. I would gladly be on TV and paid huge amounts of $$ and be given a tummy tuck,a trip to Hawaii, and all the rest of the things that they are given.
I saw the car that Jon was driving the day of the kids birthday party..that is NOT the type of car that you can transport all of those kids in…
I think they both need a reality check….

They are exploiting their children…they wouldnt have this house and everything else if it wasnt for the children. And, they live very close to me and lets just say, good friends of ours are good friends of theirs, and she has always been a total witch. My wife has been to their house (two houses ago) and she tried to order my wife around like she was hired help when she was just there visiting and holding one of HER kids!

I cant stand the fact that they go to these events (something simple like Strausburg railroad, like my 5 year old son LOVES too) and they get private rides and all this other crap. They still have deals with supermarkets, childs clothing companies, and they are in a 1.3 mill house? I love when she sent a ton of clothes back to the store in a box marked “UGLY” (the free clothing she got that is)

I cant wait until they get divorced and it will all come crashing down and the money stops.

Well, anytime there is fame there will be positive and negative comments. First the family is large and yes they need a bigger house. Come on though people, how big of a house? You still have to be financially responsible even if you are currently making a lot of money. You have to determine maintenance, upkeep, utilities, mortgage payments, property taxes etc. The main question is have they been financially responsible. Only they know the answer. When the show is over, will they still afford to live there? Only time will tell. You would hope they have been.

I enjoy watching the show because I have three small children and it’s neat to see how they can cope day to day with eight. I think Kate is a good and loving mom but she is not a very good wife. I can understand why Jon would cheat on her. She is such a bitch to him all the time. I wish I had a husband like that. She is crazy. A little to controlling. I know she has 8 kids but come on! The two oldest ones seem to be the most trouble anyways.I’m sure she has plenty of help. Babysitters and housekeepers. Has anyone else noticed how Kate used to dress like such a slob and now that Jon supposedly cheated on her she is always dressed nice with her hair done and everything. She probably cheated on him too.

Its true when they say “money can’t buy happiness!” Funny how Kate thinks having a lot of money will make her, John, and the kids happy. Too bad it all went to her head and now she thinks she $hit don’t stink. You are human like everyone else. What makes you think you are better than the rest? John seems like a sweetheart! Maybe you should have treated him like you equal instead of a child. Maybe he woudn’t be out with other women. Its sad for the children but Kate drove him to it. And Im sue, shes not all innocent like she claims!

I think Jon and Kate need to get some advice from the Duggars. (18 Kids and Counting) They are such a HUGE and loving family and they don’t let money go to their heads. They are very, very frugal. Kate tries to act like she is but yeah right. She puts on quite a show. She milks those kids for everything they’re worth. What about the show Twins, Twins, and Sextuplets? They don’t live off freebies and handouts and they have two more kids than Jon and Kate. Kate tries to act like she hates the paparazzi and all this attention but she eats it up. After all, she asked for it. She has changed so much since the show began. She didn’t used to be money hungry. She even looks and dresses differently now.
