Oh my god, I was laughing at how unromantic that wedding (Renewal of vows, whatever!) was between Kate and Jon Gosselin was last night! For Better or For Worse my ass! Seriously, have you ever seen a wedding ceremony that was so unromantic in your life? No joy on her face. A quick hug. Even when sitting at home on the interview couch, Kate and Jon never held hands, or gave each other that special look in the eye, you all know the one, when you can tell that a couple in love, and having a love moment. Their marriage is dead, and I saw Kate more excited about the girls getting pedicures than her actual ceremony. Her words last week “My favorite part of the trip was when Leah was floating around with her face in the mask and having her legs crossed and just sitting still, looking in the water. And, you other fans of the show KNOW that I’m right! I don’t care if they are tired. That’s what happens when you travel on speaking engagements all the time, on top of doing laundry and dishes and cooking meals three nights a week when the camera crews aren’t around.
Here, you be the judge. My favorite part? Kate’s cranky “Just do what you have to do!” Watch this wedding clip I found on youtube.
Look at the wedding dance – stiff arms, not close, no eye contact. And Kate repeated like four times that this is to show the kids that they will be together forever. Well, sure they are, because Jon can’t afford to pay child support for ten kids, so he can’t ever leave that self-centered, controlling and verbally abuse woman!
When Kate said “We’re determined to stay together and be together” Jon grimaced for a second. Go to 5:18 – 5:19 on the video and you’ll see what I mean. Also, did any of you catch Jon saying on the wedding day that he should run? No one jokes about that stuff unless they are thinking it, even just a little bit in their heads. Basic psychology. Hell, I learned that in my Psychology 170 class @ MSU, thank you!
I did love their wedding cake. Gorgeous! And I was happy that Jon’s relatives could meet Kate and the kids. I wonder if his mom was there, as I know she doesn’t want to be on screen. I love their song, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” but every time I hear it, I’m reminded of Dr. Mark Green’s death on ER. Loved that character and that show back in the old days …
And, did any of you watch the new TLC show? Twin, Twins, and Sextuplets. This family had two twelve year olds, two ten year old, and six four year olds, one of which has Cerebal Palsey. OMG, and he is a cop. I so think they rock. They sat closer than Jon and Kate, the kids were a little naughty and their parents didn’t have melt downs like Kate did, and you didn’t see a babysitter in sight. True, their older kids are a huge help, but a kid with special needs? OMG, I’m so happy to see them on tv, having more kids and still managing all this time!
Jon kate? who they?

I saw that episode as well and I thought it was a bit unromantic, but some couples just aren’t into being romantic. Maybe that is just how they roll.

I dunno… I guess I don’t see her as a horrible person. I see her as a woman who is overwhelmed with eight kids and trying to keep a marriage together. That would wear out any woman and make her less than the nicest person. I know how I felt just raising two – there were times I’m sure people thought I was a complete beyotch too. But I’m not.
Just offering a different perspective.
I’ve been to that part of Hawaii – it’s absolutely incredible.

Yeah, okay, but you don’t sit on a couch with your husband and talk about really boring things for an hour, being really boring. I haven’t watched enough of the show to know more about it than that, sorry!

I am not saying you have to be happy all of the time, but she has to know that her TV show run is probably about over and she might be able to extend it a year if she would get the stick out of her *ss.
Their lives are going to be a lot different when the TV money and goodies aren’t coming in the door.
By: morethananelectrician on November 18, 2008

well, here’s how I think about it… how long have they been doing this TV thing? Think about how that wears on a person – the invasiveness of it and all the requirements that go with taping a TV show – top that off with eight kids – six of them being preschoolers. I know how exhausted and uninterested in ANYTHING my daughter gets just with one preschooler, a one year old, and a seven year old. I can’t imagine being in that lady’s shoes and have six very rambunctious kids to chase after, plus a husband who also wants attention. Three year olds just do not listen to anyone and they insist on testing the limits from the moment they wake up to when they go to sleep. There’s no time left over for a marriage, let alone her having any sense of self. If it were me, I think I’d probably come across as a beyotch and completely worn out.
That’s how I see it from where I sit.

I really can’t watch anymore…its sad. Kate is always SO MONO toned when she talks, its annoying, no feeling in her voice at all. unless she is pissed off of coarse.

I have heard about this show from a friend that watches it all the time. This is the first snipit I’ve seen. GOOD LORD, how many kids? Oh, my oh my! I don’t know much about it, but that kiss at the end was pretty pathetic….

Kaylee – You have to watch TLC on Monday nights. Little People, Big World, Jon & Kate Plus 8, and then Twins, Twins, and Sextuplets. Then you will understand. If you have Comcast cable you can watch the show on On Demand.
Birdpress – I started watching the show way back when it was just a special. They did two specials when the kids were one-ish, and this is their third season. I started watching because I love babies. I think the kids are cute. I LOVED Aunt Jody. Then I began to hear bad things about Kate, and now I’m torn by watching it and hating it all at once, like Oprah!
Vanessa – You made me laugh. I suppose its true. Sometimes I like to bate the Kate fanatics with some harsh words. But they way they hyped it EVERYWHERE I expected more from it.
Little Miss – I have been watching closely for years. I do hear what your saying, and sure, I’d probabbly be tired from doing all the mother stuff, etc. BUT, think of it this way. I write a blog. I work full time, have stepkids who live with me, and a husband. I work overtime on weekends occasionally. Then I sell Partylite. I have a ton of health stuff, and Fibromyalgia, etc. I try to put a decent effort into my blog because I’m trying to entertain people. I feel she should do the same. When I’m passionate about a post I put hours into it, like my Halloween costumes. If she is allowing cameras in her home four days a week, then she travels for speaking engagements, and takes all this trips, then its her fault for being over-booked. And I’m thinking if someone asked me about my wedding, I’d be passionate about it, no matter how tired I was, I mean, come on, I’m always tired.
Rhonda – The Mono tone is KILLING me. And I loved 50 First Dates, too.
Teeni – To be ghetto, let me just say “True That!” LOL! Hell yeah that bugged her.
Ange- Always, we are in agreement about her.
Java – Thank you for watching the video. I agree totally. Read my earlier J&K posts and get up to speed on the show. Its just crazy how 1/2 the world worships her, and 1/2 hates her.

If they liked the wedding then they liked the wedding. It should matter what any of you think. They showed their kids that they really love each other, and every once in a while in the show you really do see that they really love each other. Ever try reading their book? It really shows how much love is in that family.
By: Seriously, guys? on November 22, 2008

I am very disappointed in Kate for not having Aunt Jody on the show any more. I read that she fired Jody because she was offered pay to be the babysitter. If that is true, then as I said before, I am very disappointed in Kate.
By: Barbara on November 22, 2008
at 6:48 PM
Seriously guys? I read about 3 chapters of the book at Costco when it came out. I won’t give Kate a dime. The book and wedding did not show me that they really love each other, it showed me that they are taking way too many trips and the kids just ned to be in their own beds. Only thre kids watched the wedding.
Barbara – I believe that since I never see Aunt Jody anymore that the rumor is probably true. She was a wonderful person, my god, remember when she babysat for them when 6 of the eight kids had the flu so J&K could go to Florida? Its a damn shame Kate cut her out of their lives, whatever the reason. The kids are going to grow up without knowing any relatives. That is just plain WEIRD! Money won’t make up for it, either.

I don’t know how you can stand to even watch the show anymore.
Actually as I was typing that I typed ’sow’ instead of ’show’. Now that I think about it, that may have been a Freudian Slip.
I just can’t handle the gender disparity, the self-centeredness, the cruelty and the greed anymore. It’s not fun, and although they’re darned cute, those kids aren’t that cute.

I see your point but I reserve judgment because I strongly believe that no one ever really knows what goes on in someone else’s marriage. Especially one lived in front of the cameras. It was a pretty little ceremony … anyone want to offer me a free Hawaiian re-marriage?

You need to get a life Girl from the ghetto!!! I mean really. you have allot of time on your hands if you can post about Jon and Kate, and how their wedding wasn’t all that great and how they didn’t really look happy and etc. ! After 8 kids and having them run around at your wedding I would be a little uptight as wel. But looking at her video I do think they where very happy and I think they did a fine job, and if they where happy, then that’s all that matters! and who are you to judge in the first place!? Shame on you
By: Jennifer on November 24, 2008

Does anyone notice Kate “mini-me” mean litle daughter twin Madeline, age8, who argued when her mother said she wanted to stand up with her at the wedding…..”Wanted to? Did you say wanted?” or something to that effect.
And Mom just goes,”Oh, well, Maddie wanted to earlier”

Check the latest Yard Sale episode. Kate says”It’s Freezing and I’m getting irritated” and stomps off in her flip flops and capri pants. Someone tell her she lives in Pennsylvania…..dress appropriately for the weather.
And once again, the kids are at home. So why are we watching you? You are bitchy and boring. Go get the brats!

k so heres how it is”thegirlfromtheghetto” id honestly like to see u with eight kids im almost 100% sure ud freak out in 1 week so ur the one to talk!! And omfg ”not romantic” whats ur prob there not ganna sit on that couch and make out every five seconds like wtf!!And saying they go to much on vacation…is someone jealous??Anyone would love to bring there kids to Hawaii; ESPECIALLY 8 KIDDSS!!! And speaking of Hawaii when Kate said ”do what you have to do” that would be because the person who renewed there vows was probably not use to that kind of wedding (with a big family)and if u re-watch the video(show) notice he(the man renewing there vows) was waiting for the kids to settle down and both Jon & Kate knew that wouldn’t happen (smart ppl) so she basically meant carry on and id like u to re-watch the show when they go to ”Jumbarii” with the 6 kids and jon make that ”face” and hes perfectly happy then, so i don’t know why it was so bad on the couch!!and ur stupid comment bout”only three kids watched the wedding’ they coldent just stop every 5 seconds and stop them there 4 years old get over it and what do u do tie ur kidss down!!??And pplz stop talkin shit bout Jody do any of u know Kate, Jon or Jody personally??i don’t think so!!so whoever started this SHUT UP!! Also u guys are saying ”money is poring in” how do u know that do u have there bank card and shit??i don’t think so either!!And Kate is a great mom with unconditional love and Jon is a great dad as well & those r the greatest kids ever so if all u ppl have to say is shit shut ur mouths man!!

To Vannn
Ghetto Girl merely allows us a forum to comment on what we want to comment upon. And as she noted, everyone seems to want to talk about the Gosselins.
And if the Gosselins choose to let the whole world watch every movement of their lives, including bodily functions, then it is only natural that the world will take interest and make comment on her…good or bad.
Kate has a computer…I’ve seen her web watching. She can search this site and answer anything she finds insulting. I found it the first day I searched.
But she is beneath that. So, let people assume she fired Aunt Jodi! No rebuttal? Kate’s fault. I found this site easily. She can too.
Newsflash–a lot of people commenting HAVE had a number of kids and would have liked to do it with a few cameras and a couple of million dollars in our pockets.
It is the complete lack of gratitude or concern for others that generally pisses people off about Kate. She deserves that. You want a show on TLC…act NICE! She should read these blogs and take a few hints from them. Check the latest show…notice Kate is a lot sweeter to Jon and less of a screaming c__t. Maybe she is reading.
KEEP IT UP BLOGGERS!

I too was a fan back in the early days.
Kate was so much more down to earth in the initial one-hour special. I remember being inspired by her… If she and her husband could care for and nurture 6 babies and 2 preschoolers while earning a living, then surely I could do it with my two daughters. It reminded me to count my blessings.
Now I’m losing interest. I told my husband I’m 1 episode away from giving up on the show.
Sure, it’s a bummer to watch her kids wearing nicer clothes than mine and the family taking vacations all over the country without either parent working a full-time job. But that’s not really bothers me.
So they found a way to make a nice living by putting their private moments on TV. Don’t we all want to make strike it rich? Good for them. The moral issues are theirs to decide what’s right. Being envious of the material items won’t make my day any better.
To put it simply, it was the day-to-day grind that I enjoyed watching. It was like visiting with a friend of mine and talking about “mom stuff”. There is no “mom stuff” left on the show.

Hm, judging from the IM “talk” by Vannn, this person must around 12 or 13. I know, because I have a 12 year old and well, that’s how they talk these days. I sincerely hope that when you grow up, your views on what makes a good parent change, or, if somehow if you become a parent, I pity your children. Kate is not a great mom, heck she is not even a great person and Jon, well, someday he may get his manhood back.
By: Paula on November 29, 2008

Cindi, I agree that we are seeing more and more of Kate and less of the kids. My theory? They have about exhausted all plausible story lines with these kids and TLC being all about dysfunctional people decided that people who watch the train wreck that is Kate Gosselin. It might work for a while, but most viewers tune in to see the kids, not these screaming whacko.
By: Paula on November 29, 2008

What has happened to Mady? Why is she such a brat with an attitude problem. None of the rest of the kids are like her. Please get her some help with an anger management intervention. I think Jon is such a good dad and I sincerely like him, as for kate, if she is a christian as she leads us to believe, why hasn’t she forgiven her own family and let them into the kids lives? I feel sorry for the kids who dont have anyone but their parents to look up to.
By: Darleen on November 30, 2008

Kate is a bitch and I believe that this TV show has gone to her head. My friend/roommate works at a jewelry store in Lancaster, PA and Kate brought her Daughter’s to get their ears pierced. When my friend asked for her ID (need to show it when getting the piercing) Kate snapped at her and said “You mean you don’t know who I am!!??!” Seriously…you’re not that special. She’s just an average person who happens to have 8 kids and she is milking it for all it’s worth. It is sickening!!
By: Rissa on December 1, 2008

I really do like Jon, and I’m glad the kids at least have him in their lives. Kate on the other hand, I feel sorry for her. It’s obvious she doesn’t know any better. Maybe her mom was a “b” to her and the cycle is repeating itself? Who knows. I don’t see her ever changing her self centered ways either. Oh well, now it’s up to Jon to get out when the time is right. Either when the kids are grown or at least older.

I just watched the episode in the furniture store buying bedroom furniture.
well if I owned the store, I would of showed them the door and asked them to leave with their wild kids. They were all over the beds and jumping on the mattress’s with their shoes on, Not either parent said a word to them. Do they think it is an honor to have them come in and ruin your displays? Not even mentioning the dirty shoes on all the bedspreads etc.
Poor Collin was so constpated and both parents were laughing about it.Jon was ordered by Kate to take Collin out and change him. Kate put on a show like she was really checking out the beds and prices. Collin was screaming so loud the owner did’nt hear what her decision was on beds.As I said before, What a phoney Kate is. If I was Jon I would grab my coat and run. But he is such a jellyfish,and Kate is taking advantage of him.I think Jon likes the abuse.

It really wouldnt suprise me if you find out that John leaves her in a couple of years. She is such a bi*** to him alot of the time and like I understand 8 kids but you really should treat the one person thats basically in her corner helping her everyday the way she treats him. Like I feel he would help soo much with the kids but I feel hes going to not be able to take her anymore soon…
By: Kevin on December 5, 2008

These comments confirm what I’ve been suspecting. The money they’ve been raking in from the show has changed them. Kate is no longer the hard-working struggling mom of 8 kids — she’s just a self-centered bitch who’s become proud (in some wierd way) of her own OCD while she ignores Mady’s possible bi-polar disorder. Jon is indeed a jellyfish, getting hair transplants and whatever else Kate demands. I’ve watched the show from the beginning, and while I’d like to see what becomes of the kids, I’m sick of… well, so much stuff. TLC needs to cancel this weekly show and perhaps just air an update every 6 months or yearly. This whole family is out of touch with planet Earth.

I agree w/ u Cindy. She inspired me, but now I think she’s is overwhelmed w/ wat they got. Yes they get free trips everywhere, but I think she’s only human. I imagined what I would do if I could travel like that w/ all the help & free trips w/ my 3 kids (1 is autistic). She has definitely left the mom behind, but I can relate a lil.
My mom & I both liked the show, but mom stopped watching it. She agrees Kate is 2 mean to Jon & yells 2 much. I can relate how easy it is 2 become a beyootch when managing a lot under so much stress. And I can bet the editing is done to show the drama when they could edit it out.
My mom told me I like the show bc I act like Kate. Ouch! But, I took it as an opportunity to change my bad habits and not take my spouse for granted. W/ dat said, if Jon is nething like my hubby then he really is not as pitiful as u think. He is jus behaving 4 the cameras and waiting 2 let her have it later. (remember da episode wen he wouldn’t talk for most of the show. i think they went skiing and he was so happy like a kid?) i do feel for him sometimes cause he’s too nice on camera. he’s only let her have 1 time wen the show 1st came on t.v.
It does not change the bossy, self-centered, controlling person, but it does let that person know that ‘hey u r not the only one in this shyt!’ Those r my hubby’s famous words. I always apologize later, which is something Kate may do off camera. If she’s like me, then she probably likes 2 be right and think she is doing nothing wrong.
People need to yank her collar and tell her bout herself like my authentic family and friends did to me. No one is perfect. If what my mom says is true about the similarities, then Kate probably caters to her spouse ( i would hope can’t say she’s just like me) in a lot of ways too. And if not, then that is where we stop being similar cause I cater to my hubby quite a bit before and after my bad behavior.
I often think the t.v. life has changed her for the worse.
By: dawn on December 9, 2008

I agree with most here regarding how Kate is a Bi#&%. In the beginning, I also kind of enjoyed the show. I was never that impressed with all of her organic this and that, or her Christian Bible qoutes all over the kitchen. I also HATE when she yell’s ” OH MY WORD!”. That just drives me crazy. But, I have to admit I enjoyed watching those sextuplets running around with their cute little voice’s. I seemed to like the one twin, Cara, better than the other ” a little bi-polar” Maddy. I think Maddy isn’t bi-polar actually..I think she’s Kate.
But..as the newer show’s air, I really can’t watch Kate and her crazy way’s anymore. She’s so mean to her husband, she’s always correcting him, I saw her smack him one time, and I really cannot understand how they have NOT gotten kicked out of a store yet for yelling and crying..all of them. The toy store show really got to me. Kate should be ashamed of herself for talking to Jon like that. She kept yelling ” HEELLOOO” a million times…really loud too. Then..of course Maddy had her daily meltdown in the store too. Over something so stupid. Even the 4th of July parade and the reunion at Hershey Medical was horrible to watch. People just stare in the background.
I think Kate knows how she acts and doesn’t care one bit. I think Jon would leave in a heartbeat but can’t. Because his alimony and child support would be through the roof. I don’t think Kate really has any friends. She clearly has NO relative’s either. All in her own doing.
I also heard that they moved to a million dollar home in Bucks County Pa?? What’s going to happen when the show is over? Is the family set for life? Neither of them work..that I’ve seen.
The wedding episode was so sad and so cold. I wonder what Jon really thinks of Kate. Does he have fantasy’s of leaving? Who the hell would want her?
Well – I feel as if I could go on and on..lol. Thanks for allowing me to vent here. I love this site. I also love reading everyone’s posts..They are great!
By: Tammy on December 9, 2008

I don’t know if Mady is bi-polar or just a miniture Kate, but does no one in that house recognize that she needs professional help of some kind? On every episode, without fail, she has at least one meltdown, and usually more. I thought Kate was supposed to be a nurse, for crying out loud. They just ignore her and say “that’s just Mady” like that explains it and makes it alright. That kid is in for big problems. If she wasn’t a child, I’d say someone needs to pop her in the mouth. When she grows up, someone just might…
Kate’s little digs at Jon (and even at some of the kids sometimes) are so hateful, I can’t believe she can’t see what she’s doing. Is she really that blind? On last night’s episode when Jon was supposed to have turned on the oven for the twins to fix lunch, she said “the oven isn’t on” and one of the girls said “daddy was supposed to turn it on.” Without a second thought (or a first one), she sarcastically replied “big surprise.” This is so typical of her. On more than one occasion, she’s told the kids that “daddy’s an idiot.” The degrading comments to the kids about their father just roll off her tongue like it’s second nature to her. A couple of things she said to (and in front of) the older girls told them they had failed as “mother of the day.” Is her own self-esteem so low that she has to cut down her own kids to build herself up?
Since TCL is paying for everything else under the sun, they need to take a few episodes and send the whole family to a therapist. Someone obviously need to draw Kate a picture of the damage she’s doing. Otherwise, at the end of all this, they’re going to have a million dollar house, tons of money, a divorce, and a house full of screwed-up kids.
Oh my word!! That’s so darned NOT cute!!
By: Maris on December 9, 2008

Maris –
Thank You for the ” Oh My Word” comment..lol. You’re right..so NOT cute!! And..I 100% agree with you that in the end..they’ll have a million dollar home..a divorce( although, I don’t think Jon can leave b/c who the hell can afford child support, alimony, etc. with that family..and..I know Kate would be one of those wive’s who wouldn’t allow Jon to see his kids and cause drama with that as well) I think this family is in for trouble that they don’t even know yet. I also agree with you that, Kate as a RN, should be able to recognize the warning signs of a troubled child. And..I hope for Maddy that it’s just her way of dealing with camera’s in her house 24/7, a crazy mom, a dad who Maddy probably believe’s is “no good” and to many siblings and not enough attention. I sincerely hope that Maddy or any of those children don’t end up on drugs, etc. But..in my experience on the road as a medic..I’ve been to home’s that were disfunctional like that and as the years go on and we keep responding to different calls..you’ll see the kids getting worse and worse. I was once called to the home of my old high school spanish teacher who I thought in HS was a great man with a perfect family until I picked him up and was bringing him ( with the cops) to a hospital for a Meth overdose. I remember ( he lived in my town) how he had 5 kids and what I thought was a perfect wife. They were also very religous too. And..look what happened. The sad part was about a year later..I took his wife to the hospital for a Cocaine overdose. This was 10 years ago. Now the kids are grown..and I can’t imagine what happened to them as a result. The kids were taken away by DYFS ( CPS) and the parents rights were terminated. The kids went to foster care..and not all together. This could very well happen to the Gosselins. I hope it doesn’t, though. I wish that on no one. That’s what TLC should step in and help this family deal with “fame and money”. Fame and money can eventually bring you to bad places. And..it would be sad to see a family go to that place as a result of greed. Someone wrote somewhere that they’d be happy if TLC would cancel the show and just air the family like every 6 months as a follow up. I’d be ok with that. I doubt Kate would, though.
These 8 kids didn’t ask for this. It must be horrible for the kids to eventually know how most of the USA can’t stand their parents..or even some of the kids. That’s got to be depressing.
By: Tammy on December 9, 2008

Wow, so many good points brought up on this post lately. I don’t know if Mady is Bi-Polar. Then again, my mom (Who is Bi-Polar) said she know she was by the time she was 8 years old. She remembers running around like a nut, and cried to me asking me why didn’t her family help her when it was obvious that something was wrong with her!
I do feel that Mady is starving for attention, and that is why she acts out. Kate may very well have her see someone for counseling, and that could not be filmed for the show, as it shouldn’t, it should be private. I feel bad for Mady. I think if they continue this show she will get worse. Even saying this, some idiot will still tell me I’m jealous. Sigh. I don’t like to see kids suffer. Why doesn’t EVERYONE understand that?
Just because someone is a nurse doesn’t mean they can recognize when something is wrong with their child. I’m not saying who, but I know someone who denied and fought hard to say their child didn’t have a medical issue when hell yes they did. After two doctors and a school board proved it, she finally gave in and accepted it, but still continues to not help in this child’s recovery, electing to go out and get drunk every week. Boy, does this piss me off!!!

While I’ve watched the show from the beginning, I only recently found this website. Can someone tell me what happened with Aunt Jodi and why Kate cut ties with her entire family? And other than the ones in Hawii, where is Jon’s family? Has he cut ties as well? I do remember when Aunt Jodi used to do what seemed like an enormous amount of babysitting, and I thought she did a great job. For all of her trouble, however, it seemed she never got any thanks from Kate. She did horrible things Kate didn’t like such as giving the kids non-organic lollipops — oh my word!! And Kate would say things like “God love her, but…” I remember thinking Kate should be saying “God love her, period.” Maybe I should have volunteered my services to show Kate that Aunt Jodi wasn’t so bad. Kate would have likely come home to find them all tied securely to chairs with duct tape over their mouths! I mean, pul-eezee!! If you can find someone to watch your 8 children, and the worst thing that happens is that they break a few organic rules, in my opinion you’ve got a keeper!! Good grief…

girlfromtheghetto – I also have a mom who’s bi-polar..My grandmother killed herself on 1974 as a result of bi-polar..which then was called Manic Depression. I shouldn’t have said Maddy was bi-polar..I really meant to say that she needs some help..But, I also pointed out that iy could just be the constant camera’s in her life..her mom and dad’s relationship’s which I believe is complete turmoil. You’re right..b/c Kate is a nurse..maybe she doesn’t see the signs of Maddy’s downspiral. But..I wish Jon and Kate would try and at least work with her. It’s kind of annoying that I have to turn the volume waaayyy down on the TV when Maddy is on..b/c the screaming cuts through me..lol. I honestly wish nothing bad on any of these kids. They didn’t deserve anything but a loving, healthy home enviroment. I have my thoughts on Jon and Kate and some of their parenting skills. But I agree with the story you said re: the child who went all the way to prove an ilness to a MD..and when it was proven that mom would rather be drunk… I see that alot. Which kind of goes back to my original point. If someone were to tell Kate that Maddy needs some therapy ( I would hope it’s private, too) that Kate would put Maddy 1st..and not her spa treatments and all of the drama she hs going on. I think it would benefit the entire family if they had some kind of parenting coach. Especially, since they are famous now.
I’m sorry about your mom…I know what that’s like. It’s hard. To hard for me to even talk about sometime’s. My mom can be nice one day and hate me the other. But..she’s my mom and she has an illness. My 2 siblings have it as well..and all I can do is be aware of the signs and help when I can. I feel for you. One day..I’d love to blog about my life…for now..I couldn’t do it w/o crying. Maybe that’s what bothers me so much about Kate and Maddy..I love seeing Kate give extra attention to Maddy and I see how Maddy tries so hard to behave when she’s getting that special attention. But..when I see Kate talking negativly about Maddy..and just blowing off her sometime’s disturbing behavior..I want to jump in the TV and tell Kate that her daughter needs her.
I’ve slowed down alot in watching the show.Only when Im in the mood. Sometime’s it just makes me mad..other time’s I can tune them out. But..as I’ve posted before..I’d rather my10 and 4 year old not watch it. I don’t want them to see Jon and Kate act like that to each other…it’s disturbing to me. My husband HATES it…lol. He’ll leave the room if that show is on..lol. Oh well…it’s like a train wreck. Sometime’s I can’t help but watch.
Keep blogging Girlfromtheghetto…I’ve been reading more about you. I hope I didn’t offend you by saying Maddy was Bi-Polar..that was insensitive of me..esp when I have my own family members with it. I’ll try and use different words to express myself…Again..I love your site and love blogging. This is the 1st one I’ve ever blogged on..and I look forward to it.

Maris – Go to the right side of my page to the tags section. Then click on the Jon & Kate tag. I’ve written about Aunt Jodi, who I thought to be WONDERFUL! And there is a link to her sisters blog and you can read even more about what happened.
Tammy- Nothing you’ve ever written offends me. I am sorry for you that your mom and family have that disease, too. I have been thru so much with my mom, its rough man, so I feel for you, too. And, sometimes a flip comment is just as it is, flip. I didn’t think you were being a jerk or anything. I was just trying to stop a battle between you and her blind fans, lol!!!

I get so annoyed with these people who think its ok for those precious kids to be exploited…and to answer some questions…TLC came to Jodi and told her they wanted to pay her because she is in the show alot and they film at her house sometimes. Well, Jodi and her husband Kevin (Kate’s brother) went to Kate and told her what was said and Kate through a HUGE HISSY FIT! She said if anyone gets paid, then she quits and that she/Jon/8 kids are the only ones to get paid. And to whoever thinks that Kate wrote that book..YOU’RE CRAZY. Go to the Reading Eagle site and read what Beth (Kate’s ex bestie) says. She said “They lived it and I wrote it!” It’s all about the money..nothing more or less!!!
By: Tammy H. on December 13, 2008
at 4:33 PM
Kate will find out one day that money can’t buy you happiness, and I hope TLC is around to capture it all on camera. Shame on her! She doesn’t mind exploiting the kids as long as she is the ONLY one who is doing it. Aunt Jodi, if you read this, you did a wonderful job with the kids, and when they’re older and able to make up their own minds, they’ll see that. When I see Kate now, something my mother used to say comes to mind — a person wrapped up in themself makes a very small package…
Looking forward to the next TLC hit show:

there ALWAYS has to be some kind of BS critic out there to talk BS! are you married with 8 kids??? just wondering since you seem to be an “expert.” (not so much). don’t you think it would be weird if they were like “hi honey! i love you honey, lets hold hands and skip down the stairs!” come on now! the show would be SO phony! i like that they keep it real. i’m married with 2 children and its a LOT of work. imagine 8??? but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion, regardless of how ridiculous it can be. show some love dammit.
By: MoBeck on January 14, 2009

MoBeck – Married with two kids, one w/Aspergers. Plus my BFF college roommate is a leading child psychologist. She lectures all over the world. Seriously. I showed her the show last month, and she was AMAZED at what goes on in that house. So, in a sense, knowing an expert, and hearing her opinion makes me feel kind of like an expert myself, especially since I have had six upper level psychology classes and have experience working with at-risk children with mental and learning disabilities. Plus I volunteered at a domestic violence shelter for years. Plus I grew up in a home that was abusive, neglectful and traumatic. I grew up w/my mom having a social worker, since she is Bipolar.
Also, I’m not saying I want Kate to act fake on tv, but it would be nice if she displayed love not criticism a little more towards Jon. I’ve seen her act truely happy and kiss him twice on screen. Twice. And the hitting is absolutely wrong. But thanks for your comment, I really appreciate you not saying I’m jealous. So there is your love!

I just found that people are very hateful to wish Jon left his wife and his 8 kids. What kind of people you are?
Funny how “nice” people called a person they don’t know a bitch and hope a family be broken.
As far as Kate abuses Jon…., I saw Jon shot back at Kate and made faces in front of the camera all the time. What else do you expect him to do? Start at yelling match and slap her on the face? Is that what you call manhood?
I have heard him making fun of his wife’s haircut and tummy. No, I don’t think he is that afraid of Kate…. I am sure a lot of husbands and boy friends won’t dare to say something like that…, and definitely not in front of the TV.

Hello All –
As I have said SO many time’s in the past..all of you Jon and Kate Fans..you can obviously see that this is a site where one can express their opinion’s on many diff aspects of this reality show. If you love them..GREAT. If not..well that’s great, too. But – stop telling people how to feel. Sto saying “Don’t watch the show”. We as Americans have the right to watch and express OUR opinions’s as we feel fits. If we all agreed on everything..this world would be a boring place. If you don’t agree with what someone wrote..then why don’t you STOP reading all of the posts? Just as you want us to stop watching the show…aren’t you a tad hypocritical when you ask us to only see a postive post as the”right” thing to say?
I, personally, think this show is getting very over rated. I dont like the way Kate choses to speak to Jon..or the way she acts in public, period. And..Im not asking you all to agree with me. I just feel that I have the right to epress that. IM tired of Maddy..Im tired of Kate..and as a medical professional, I think Maddy needs some help. I think Jon and Kate are over looking this child’s emotional needs. She clearly needs someone to talk to. If I were Kate ( and thank god..Im NOT..lol) I would remove Maddy from the show so she can have a chance to express herself w/o all of he world watching. Just think..the twins had a somewhat “normal” life..and one day it was gone. And..please..it IS about the money. If it wasn’t..one of them would be working. And..they aren’t. Which..in my opinion..most family’s (no matter what size) need at least one parent working. So..for me..I can’t relate to these two. At all. What’s going to happen when the show is over? Where will they be? They have no family..very little friends..and they are counting on TLC to float them for the rest of their live’s. You can’t expect TLC to tell them that. Just as Jon and Kate look out for themselve’s..so does TLC.

By: meagan on January 20, 2009

Meagan – I feel bad for Mady. I think that of all the reasons why I feel the show should end that the most important reason is for her own happiness. It just seems like all she wants is her mothers attention. Can money buy attention? All I see this show do for that girl is have cameras in her house, and seeing her mom constantly travel to speaking engagements.
Tammy -Welcome back. You’ve commented on a few posts, so if I miss one, I’m sorry. You bring up a good point about family and friends. Even thought they may never be lonely in that size of a family, your friends and family enhance your lives, give different perspectives on things, etc. And I laugh at all the super-pro-KON blogs. Like the Facebook group. they have all these crazy rules, and people side fight about the pettiest things, like someone was going to quit the group just because another person told them it was wrong to say a room Kate decorated wasn’t ugly. Come on, free speech people, free speech!!! That’s why I let the loonies vent here ….

Listen…I would like to see you guys try and have 8 kids and do any better. They are doing a great job and by the way in this clip at the vows part kate is trying so hard not to cry…please no love or whatever you said….Dont want if you dont like it just like Meagan said
By: Me on January 28, 2009
at 10:19 PM
Thank You Me and Meagan for advising us NOT to watch the show b/c YOU two like Kate and think she’s wonderful. And..Me..I don’t have 8 kids and no one is disbuting the fact of Jon and Kate having 8 kids either. What most of us are debating is the way Kate treats her husband ( and I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone thinks that the way K treats J is normal and nice). We also debate the greed and the nastiness. Kate’s behavior and lie’s ( like WHY she HAD to have fertility treatment twice b/c of PCOS which in MY opinion is BS) and the episode where she said she spends only a hundred dollars at the food store when the bill was like three hundred dollars…is complete BS. They went from being a normal family with, I agree, alot of kids who are very young ( as well as J&K being young themselve’s) and trying to make ends meet. Then, Jon stopped going to work, Kate got rid of all her friends and family and the show became all about Kate. When you watch the Duggars and the other shows on TLC you don’t see that type of behavior. They seem to work hard and eventhough I think the Duggars are weird as hell..lol..they are nice people. You don’t see the “mom” Duggar treating her husband..Jim Bob..lol..or whatever in a nasty way. Mrs. Duggar is actually almost too calm..lol. But, either way, Kate Gosselin is a nasty, hypocritical bitch. And..Im sorry to offend all of you J&K fans!! But that is MY opinion! Kate had plans when she had those sextuplets…BIG PLANS! Those plans were to turn her 8 kids into money!
By: Tammy on January 29, 2009
at 12:31 PM
Girl..I just read your last post. I agree. All of the pro Kate pages..they all seem to fight over the craziest things. To me..it seems like the people who look up to Kate, feel the need to offend others over the stupidest of issue’s. I even read other site’s dedicated to Jon and Kate..it’s amazing..lol. Same thing. I saw a petition once too that was actually full..you couldn’t sign your name. SOOO many people signed that HATED this show. From what I’ve seen..there are more who don’t like Jon and Kate..then those who like them. Interesting!
I try and read all of the posts when I can on this site. I also try and read the one’s who don’t agree with either mine or someone else’s opinion on the show..and will respond if it’s not offensive. Just a simple debate. The one’s who berade me..like the one I saw before from early Jan where someone wrote and analized my post word for word..lol. Then said she hope’s someone does come and kick my ass..lol. I just laugh and either send a message or ignore it. Plain and Simple.
You do a GREAT job allowing us to post our opinions and thoughts on this show and many other topics. Those who who don’t like you or your blog..well..just as THEY say..”don’t come back”! Go to your “I love Kate” site and blab there.
I think it’s perfectly normal for many of us to have different thoughts on a subject. It’s how you present yourself that matters.
Anyway..I love your site. I’ve told other medics about my own place to type away about how much I hate Jon and Kate Plus 8. And..my husband and brother think I’m hysterical with this family..and are also glad I have a place to vent. So for that..and all of you who make me laugh and think and even those of you who write nice little “Hello’s”..Thank You! It’s nice to look forward to posting, reading, debating and meeting more and more people who feel the same way I do!
Tammy

The reason we (Kate likers) get upset is because Ive never in my life seen so many holier than thou people. Are you all fucking kidding me? People have talked about taking their kids you stupid bitches! That seems alot more serious than who Kate fucked before she got with Jon or any other stupid shit you all dig up! What a bunch of bitches you are! Maybe if you paid as much attention to your spouse & kids your relationships would be better.Your nauseating, lonely & bored bitches with nothing to do but toss shit! I hope you and your kids are judged with kinder eyes and ears than you all have given to this family. Get off your fat asses and change the channel if you dont like them!

Leanna – I don’t think that the those kids need to be taken away from KON, nor have I ever dug up or speculated who Kate had sex with. I don’t care. I just think its hysterical that you think all of us are lonely bored bitches who ignore our spouses and kids. LOL … you don’t see that men have posted on this or my other KON posts? What a typical narrow mind you have, thinking you know me and every other person who just expresses an opinion that differs than yours. You are like such an ass for thinking that we are all the same person. Plenty of people don’t like the show. I suggest you take your own advise … if you don’t like what you read here, move on to another blog instead of commenting here and calling us bitches!
Tammy -I’m glad you like my blog. I know many other people in real life who don’t read my blog and who just HATE Kate, including my husband. I have never heard him call anyone on tv a f— b— but when she comes on, watch out. I wish I had a camcorder, because Monday nights are hysterical here in this house.
Me – I don’t see any tears at all.

Yes Tammy as Americans we do have rights to watch what we want & express our feelings. This has gone much further than that. There are people who want their kids taken from them. As far as your mom being bipolar that explains alot of the concern Ive got with you. Did you honestly say you think they had plans to turn their 8 kids into money? Good grief! Im sure you hit the nail on the head when you said they are only in it for the money,it is about the money or one of them would be working & they have no family or friends & TLC floats them all the time.Are you for real or is there someone who has let their 8 year old on the computer & the kids the one typing in this nonsense? Thats got to be it.As far as the Duggar dad treating his wife Michelle good wellgood Lord he’s apparently nailing her all the time.Her vaginas got to be like a huge slip & slide by now.Im amazed at the difference in opinions people have with the Duggars & Gosselins.Duggar kids seemed much more trained & Michelle has said she knows her role & Jim Bob does everything else.His dad even said they needed to stop having kids because the number of them was getting ridiculous.
By: Leanna on February 1, 2009

Tammy and thegirlfromtheghetto need to stop using the same brain I think its a little worn out. Ghetto whatever you call yourself, Kate has gone on three speaking engagements on the show that was aired on tv.She went to only one alone. As for how she treats Jon nobody thought bad when on the first show he was talking about cutting the fat off her with a paper cutter, that he prefers blondes (which is the reason she got hair done after surgery), that the difference between Kate before and now is now she cares how she looks.These are for sure words from a beat down & mistreated man! Ghetto girl said that her roommate was a leading child psychologist which is great, but Ghetto sweetie your not.Just a little reality check for you.As far as Nana Joan, Beverly, Carla & Beth go they didnt seem to mind the camera & publicity train too much.Jodi must not be a good aunt for standing around while Kate went off on her “”tyrants”.Its a good thing she was offered that money by the show so she could see clearly now & warn society what a awful mom Kate was.It must have been terrible to be on the show with her husband proclaiming what great parents Jon & Kate are.Her not getting that money just snapped her back into reality I guess.I wonder what the situation would be like if Jodi had gotten the money?
By: Leanna on February 1, 2009
at 5:54 AM
“tyrants” ??
Leanna, slow down and breathe, you went from not making any sense to unintelligible in less than two seconds. I can’t even figure out what your opinion is half the time.
It’s okay to voice your thoughts here, just be a little more respectful, throwing around insults isn’t necessary.
By: Jen512 on February 1, 2009
at 6:25 AM
Your tv’s may show different than mine but Jodi,Beth,Carla,Beverly & Nana Joan were never forced to keep the kids.As far as them having a chef I think from TLC’s point of view Kate cooking all the time does not make a good show.Her cooking every single night would cut down filming time a bunch.Do you honestly think all these companies send them free products just out of the goodness of their heart? No way! It’s cheap advertising.The Wii system they got was cheap ads.The kids from the most popular show on tv are using their product,Jons hair transplant done at this particular clinic,Kate had her tummy tuck from this particular dr,same with beach house,ski trip,Hawaii trip & all the tv shows they have been invited to do is ratings for that show. Now trust me if I was in their shoes Id have moved out somewhere with no neighbors around me to.Id have tons of property around me so Id feel my kids were safer.No photographers on roof of a neighbors house clicking away & there would be nothing I could do about it.Thats neighbors property.As far as me commenting on your relationships its hard when people make assumptions about you when they really dont know you isnt it? My comments seemed to really upset you didnt they? When you turned your computer on you probably furious. “She doesnt know me.How dare she say that?” Now imagine turning on your computer & finding a petition people can sign to get kids taken from you. Last but not least… Jon.Hes a grown man that is seriously in the market for a set of balls. Alrighty. Get your McDonalds uniform on & get to work.People making assumptions is a real bitch, huh? Bye ladies.(I use the word ladies very loosely).

These comments were directed towards Tammy & Ghettogirl.Read previous posted comments & maybe you’ll understand. If you still dont I dont give a shit your not Tammy or Ghettogirl. As far as your “tyrants”?? thing goes someone said Kate acted like a Queen or more like a tyrant. Tyrant-exercises power in harsh,cruel manner. Oppresive & harsh person. Ruler who governs without resistance. So kiss my ass you superior acting bitch. I know exactly what the word means & I know exactly how I wanted to use it.You could never be a tyrant. You play the role of know it all & pussy way to good.

Leanna – Are you Kate Gosselin? Because you sure are acting nutty for someone who just claims to be a fan. Since you started leaving comments here today as early as 5:23 am I suppose not, as we all know how Kate loves to sleep in on the weekend until 9:00 am. By the way I find it ironic that you are all bold on here, but your email name includes the word masrshmallow. Your name says it all. Soft. And it melts when things get too hot. Just because you wrote something you think is mean doesn’t mean I am angry. Actually, I’m laughing, esp. the part where you think I work at McDonalds. I like how you think that is an insult. Only two types of people wake up on a Sunday morning that early – people in the service industry and miserable houswives who want time for themselves before the family wakes up. I woke up at 8:00 am to a tasty pancake breakfast my hubby made for me, while you were probably some poor pathetic waitress serving pancakes in some small town in the midwest. Continue to leave your crazy on here. Its great entertainment. All you are doing is fueling the posts and leading more people to read these posts. A smart person would just ignore it. but you can’t. Jokes on you MARSHMALLOW!

Holy crap Bobby. Just watched the first 5 minutes of Jon’s interview. Here are the best things: When they were both not working, they had to turn down the heat to 68 degrees. That is what we keep our thermostat at now, and we both work full time in my house!!! He said they needed a new house because 3,000 square feet was not enough for ten people. When you do the math, that is 300 sq feet per person. In my house, the four of us only have 250 square feet!!! KON also have a babysitter 6 hours a day, Jon works out two hours a day, and Kate is in New York, working. Not like once in awhile. Quote from Jon’s lips that Kate said to him when he bitched about being a stay at home dad. He admitted it, as Kate is writing her 3rd book right now. “If you weren’t home I couldn’t work in New York.” So the kids don’t even get to have both parents stay at home. Also, he thinks its not exploitative because the kids aren’t working. I’m sharing this clip under another KON post. Thanks again Bobby.

‘Jodi must not be a good aunt for standing around while Kate went off on her “”tyrants”.’
I wasn’t asking for a definition, I was just saying your statement made no sense. You cannot go off on a ‘tyrant’. That is a noun, not a verb.
I’m done trying to understand you anyway. You can’t even string together a cohesive argument.
By: Jen512 on February 1, 2009

Ah. It musta been a Freudian slip. Tyrant. Tirade. Makes perfect sense to me as Kate really can be classified as a Tyrant, can she not?
By: bobbycat on February 1, 2009
at 4:39 PM
Damn, TGFTG, I would have shared it much earlier. Thought it was ‘old news’. Did you like the part where Jon talks about ‘lying’? And watch how he has to get fed answers regarding his family from his buddy off-camera. Again, what a tool.
By: bobbycat on February 1, 2009

No doubt about that. Cruel, harsh…those words definitely describe Kate Gosselin. What kind of mom forces their child to sleep on the laundry room floor with just a blanket when they have the flu? If my parents had ever tried to do something like that to me I would have disowned them.
By: Jen512 on February 1, 2009
at 4:53 PM
ooooo leanna.. how do i tear into you now. Ok look troll, let me clear up a few things for you as bluntly as possible. First off from what i’ve noticed you seem to be the only one relentlessly leaning toward explicit words to express how exactly you feel, this is sign of an emotionally weak person. Did you get teased alot in high school? or maybe someone was a little too fat to be loved by the other kids? hmm? is that it leanna? Look babygirl, go back to your house on cinder blocks, get your man to remove the wheels and settle down, because just like the rest of people that make comments and use grammar like that belongs in one place and one place only. Your local trailer park. Oh? did i hit a soft spot? Thats ok, you will probably end up having 5 kids and living off my tax dollars too.
bitch.

This is Leannas cousin. Leanna was killed in a car crash earlier today so we’re trying to clean some stuff away so when her husband gets here this is not in his face until he wants to deal with it. Thanks

Why would anyone use a dead persons computer and email and name and post a comment on a random blog that their “cousin” visited just hours after their cousin supposed death. Hmmm. You see, how would you have her unique IP adress unless you were on her computer? If she was in a car crash, how would you have been notified by police so quickly, and thought to rush to her house to see what she was reading on the internet, then know exactly what name she was using on a blog? Hmm. Most of the time when someone is in a car crash it takes hours to have police or hospital make the death call, let alone the time it takes to have the ambulance treat and bring the person to the hospital, and hours before a body is identified. Then there are the phone calls to be made to loved ones, the shock you have to overcome, and then the eventually funeral planning. No one in the world goes on a person’s computer 11 hours after a death has occurred, that is, if Leanna jumped off the computer and hit the door running and got into an accident within minutes of her last post on this page.
OBVIOUSLY, there is something really really wrong with you Leanna. From now on you are blocked from this website. OMG, the fact that you would lie on here is frightful and disturbing.

The Topic Of Colin…. (or at least i think that is his name)
That child is just spoiled.
I enjoy posting on this site, especially when people present different views on things in a respectful manner. There is something about this show and human nature that cannot be denied and would like some thoughts on that…

I was glad to see they let Jon get a few words in on the last episode. I was starting to think they were going to have to retitle the show “Kate, 8 kids, and …uh, some guy named Jon…” TLC needs to give me a warning next time before Jon pulls one like he did when he mocked Kate’s laugh, slapped his knee, then rolled his eyes! Geeze, I spewed Pepsi all over the coffee table!
Also, if I should die, kindly ban my ghost from posting idiotic comments on my behalf… Thank you so much.

From reading previous posts I know this is a touchy subject so.. friend said Lea was killed in car accident.He was told that on internet it shows car along with a few comments that were made.I dont know for 100% if its true but he swears up & down his friend saw her on internet.When he gets it if anyone would like me to forward this on to you when he finds it I will.Thanks

Maris – I am seriously cracking up over here … you have made my day.
And Treyterot -You guys have to stop with this crap … I don’t believe you, and more importantly, I don’t care. Plus I can see that you have almost the exact IP address as the posts that Leanna and her cousin … meaning you are using another computer in Leanna’s house. Duh! At least have the smarts to go to the library or work and post on here. My guess … Leanna is a 17 year old kid. Anyone else?

I saw this posted on another site. The links are interesting — you can judge for yourself…
Looks like Jon went to Shorty’s and got plastered.
http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/strea449/Jonatshortys.jpg
Some people in Huntingdon, Pa say Jon’s been living at his mothers home since the first week of February and he’s been seen in many of the bars getting hammered around town and word IS is that they are separating. They have a year contract with TLC for the show, so they have to honor the contract, so looks like we will see what happens.
The article below says a whole lot about Jon & Kate, and IMO gives a bit of insight at to why Kate was pushing a Vow Renewal so early in their marriage and would keep saying that they have to stay together.
A writer interviewing Jon & Kate on the phone during a 4 way call which also included their publicist heard Kate yelling at her husband and putting him down to the point Jon just shut up and she felt she couldn’t write the story and killed it.

i think it’s ridiculous the way people have been talking about kate. i honestly dont think she’s that bad…if you had eight kids you would get stressed out and get upset or uptight sometimes too. i also dont think jon is cheating on her. i do think they honestly love each other!

No girlygurl, If I had 8 kids I would not be a bitch to everybody that helps me. I would not treat my husband like a friggin dog and I would NOT sell my kids childhood so I could have spa days and designer clothing.
Having 8 kids is no excuse for being such a pill.
Michelle Duggar has 18 kids and she is always sweet and talks kindly to them. I’m not saying I’m a fan because I have many issues with the Duggars but AT LEAST Michelle treats her family and her husband with respect.
It’s basic.

I’m getting so sick of people complaining about this show. If you do not like the way Jon & Kate are raising their children, then stop watching the show. If all these people quit watching the show ratings would go down and TLC will pull it. I think that, yes, Kate can be a bitch at times. If I had cameras following me around while I was taking care of eight children from sun up to sun down, they would find me cranky at times also. She never claimed to be perfect. She is the first to point out her faults and she does express appreciation for all the help they are given by different people. You people bitch because Jon & Kate do not work, but the same people would be bitching that they send their children off to day care or nannies if they did. This is a way for them to stay home with their children and provide them with the life they need. I know people who would have a fit if they had to buy a house that made their children share a room. They needed more space, and to get that kind of space in a pre made home is expensive. That one family with bunch of children got a house built for them and nobody bitched (Not sure the name but people got all up in arms that a magazine fixed the mom’s teeth for the cover).

Shelf_fish – I am getting so tired of people telling me to quit watching or complaining about the show. If you are so tired of hearing it, why keep looking up the issue? Give it a rest. By the way, The Duggars built their house with their own hands. If someone donated the materials, I don’t know nor care. Do you honestly think its FAIR that the live in a $1.3 million dollar house and still charge churches money to speak AND THEN they take the plate offerings, too. I certainly don’t. I can think of many more deserving charities than the Gosselin charity. People can’t afford food in this country. I grew up in one of those houses, and it was not fun.

I think it’s funny that most of u people leaving comments r talking sh*t about this family like u know them. Just bc u see stuff on TV and read stories about them on the web doesn’t mean it’s true or gives u the right to judge them. Grow up and stop watching their show if ur so bothered by it
By: Lilred on March 16, 2009
at 3:26 AM
Amen, girl. Selfish, …uh I mean “shelf-fish” evidently doesn’t know as much as she’d like to think she does about GREED if she can’t recognize it in the Gosselins. And she admittedly doesn’t know a damn thing about the Duggers, not even their name, yet she’s willing to bash them and lie about them, all the while pointing a finger at us. Do you think people like her have a job, or do they sit around all day looking for someone to police on the net? If we don’t like them, stop watching?? How about go stick your head up Kate’s butt some more and stay off gossip sites. She’s sick of people complaining?? Me too — I’m sick of people telling me what to watch on TV or what to write on a blog when they aren’t paying for my cable or internet. Lame…

I’m not trying to stick up for “Shelf-fish” (whatever that means). But they might be talking about Bobbi McCaughey, the mother of the 1997 septuplets born in Iowa. She had some messed up teeth.
But seriously, there is no way to compare the McCaugheys to the Gosselins. The McCaugheys may have taken some free offerings in the beginning, but I never hear about them pimping their children out on national tv EVERY DAY. I see maybe a once-a-year Dateline special about how the kids are growing and doing, and I think that’s fine. The Gosselins started out with a once in awhile special on tv (I think that’s where most of us got to know them) and they used to seem like such normal, likable people. That is where they should have stayed. Period. If the Gosselins only opened their house to cameras once a year, I think we would all be happy, and there would not be so much overwhelming, legitimate criticism of this family today.
“Shelf-fish” if you are referring to the McCaugheys, and saying that’s how we need to treat the Gosselins, then THEY need to start acting more like the McCaugheys.
If you’re talking about the Duggars, Girl and Maris are right. Those people paid for that house and the kids built it with the adults. I’m happy to see a family on tv that actually wants to prepare their children for the real world and real responsibilities.

Here is my take on this show, I have been watching this show since the beginning when Kate was working as a nurse and Jon as a Computer technician, I have watched this family literally turn into millionaires, they just bought a 1.21 million dollar home that is 6,200 sq ft, they both quit their jobs long ago, have you noticed how different Kate looks? Her hair looks ridiculous and she acts like it is too much trouble to talk practically, at the same time you crazy people out their are sending a brand new piano, clothes and all kinds of Christmas gifts to these millionaires, get a grip people, these people make $65,000 an episode, got that for one frickn episode!
And as far as Jon is concerned all he ever gets from his wife is put down and yelled at, she is miss perfection, he is trying his best to be a good father and husband but gets no thanks what so ever! No wonder he wanted to have some fun!
By: sherron teal on March 16, 2009

Jen 512 – Yes, who knows who she was talking about … I have never said I had a problem with them taking free stuff. But I have a problem with the cameras 24/7 and all the church speeches … and money from the collection plates.
Sherron – If Jon just went out drinking with other men friends, no problem. But KISSING young girls necks and mouths? At first I didn’t mention the story here on my blog because I thought “Oh, hey, he just went out to a bar and got drunk. So what?” Then, the girls came out of the woodwork. I know that tabloids get another source to verify everything they print. And yes, Kate is too tan, all of sudden has muscular arms and has that big hair. She’s definitely paying attention to her looks on camera, now.
