They need to grow up and think of their children.  Kids need two parents that are committed to the family and each other.  

Alice-

sometimes it is better (for the kids) if the parents aren't together. I was miserable when my dad was married to my step-mom. Although no one really knows what is going on between Jon and Kate.

They won't divorce. There's no show if they do. Sure, it may boost ratings in the short run, but ultimately, the show wants to portray them as a happy family. Kate will turn a blind eye to it in public, tear a strip off him in private, but ultimately just ignore it because she's obsessed with the show and her fame. Personally, I think Jon is either cheating or considering cheating. Emotionally, he's checked out.

Kate does not love Jon. When you love someone you don't treat them like that. I didn't believe this marriage would last when I saw an episode of that show. Then I saw them on an interview a few weeks ago and she looked angry because he was talking. She only cares about the money she gets for exploiting the children. Jon is just there. I'm glad he got out and had a good time. He deserves it.

I am an faithful watcher of Jon and Kate plus 8. Yes, Kate is pushy and can say some mean things BUT how many of you have 2 sets of multiples that you have to deal with day in and day out.  "He who is without sin cast the 1st stone."  None of us are perfect.....

It is true that no one is perfect however, how many parents have multiples and are not on television, are raising their children on their own without exploiting them, have mom's and dad's who work regular jobs. Kate has always had help with the children. How else would she be flying all over the country while Jon actually works?She's obviously not with the children. Whether she has 2 children or 8 children, she has no business treating him like that.Having the children was a choice it was not forced on her. He is doing what a father does. He is working a real job.Jon is a man who is getting positive attention from someone and still I say he deserves it.

DITCH HIM KATE.  HE'S A BUM AND A DISGUSTING ONE AT THAT TO BE WITH A 23 YEAR OLD.  KATE, YOU'RE A HOTTIE YOU DON'T NEED HIM!!!!

Everyone's comments make me sick.  I watch the show and the only reason this family has managed is because of Kate. Everyone criticizes her but this is unfair.  She is a mother of 9 (including her husband!).  She always has to be the responsible one and it is because she is organized, diciplined, and responsible that the family is able to manage every day.  He needs to GROW UP and BE A MAN, not a boy.  I have watched the show many times and she is always asking him to help her and instead of being supportive he pouts like a child.  And now he is out parting?  What a selfish, immature jerk to hurt his family this way. GROW UP AND SUPPORT YOUR WIFE AND FAMILY!

Honestly, I have not watched the show, but can't understand a decision to have fertility treatments knowing that to keep from having possibly 6 or 8 children you would need to reduce the number of embryos and then bring 6 additional children into the world when this couple already had twins. Then to put them on a reality show. I have seen comments that Kate is a mean and angry with and to Jon and that Jon is irresponsible, a whiner, and doesn't help but also that he works a full time job, so he helps some by bringing in a paycheck. Looking back to when my children were small, I can see where Jon might look elsewhere for affection. Kate travels the country, has 8 children to take care of at home and then has a camera crew in her house 4 days a week. When the children are small it is difficult enough to make time for the marriage, much less with all this couple has added to their life. They probably haven't had an alone intimate moment together since they had the children and became envolved with the show. They have to be out for the money and the marriage is probably a made for TV Marriage. It might not have started that way, but I would bet that it is Now.

They put themselves on TV. Maybe they thought with 8 kids and those kids being 2 sets of multiples, it would give them more time to be with the kids. They didn't think this through entirely. Now they are living in that stereotypical fish bowl.

I strongly urge Jon and Kate, for the sake of their marriage, to take whatever they have earned at this point, pay off all their debts including that huge house (or sell it and move to something that will still hold the kids but not in the million dollar range), fulfill whatever contracts they have, AND GO OFF THE AIR. The magazine shoots are fine. But even a regular visit with Oprah or GMA or Today has got to stop NOW. Only refresh the web site 4 times a year.

Kate, your kids will be in school full time next year. Go back, do whatever you need to renew your license, and go back to nursing. Jon, go get your advanced certs and go back to tech work. You will all be happier if you do.

omg please.....Kate is a nasty nasty woman with an attitude of a snake. She is always ready to jump on his words and makes him look like he is an idiot. She deserves whatever she has coming to her. I feel sorry for the kids that they have such a bitch for a mother because she is not a MOM that is for damn sure. Jon isn't allowed to be a dad she freaks when he dresses the kids in something other than what SHE picked out and the list goes on of her insane little rules she has. The only reason she did this show was to make money off her kids. Too bad some doctor's wife felt sorry for her and got her ugly assbelly fixed for FREE like most of the stuff she gets I would love to have seen her stuck with that. Although she is ugly becaue of her nasty personality so it all works out. For those of you who feel sorry for her well you are all just as bad as her. Jon tries so hard to be a good husband and dad and she just makes him look like he has no backbone because he isn't allowed to say anything....oh btw have you ever heard her talk about what will happen to her kids when they grow up??? NOT VERY NICE.... kate hahhaah your a bitch..

oh yeah and she is not the only woman in the world to have 8 kids.... or multiple sets of babies so you are not a big miracle mom..... lol you are not a mom

I don't always agree with Kate, but I can relate to her.  My husband never listens, has no clue where anything is in the house and, at times, drives me absolutely crazy.  I like things put away, he leaves things wherever he uses them.  I like the sink wiped off after it's been used, he leaves beard hair and toothpaste all over.  So there are times I feel like I'm dealing with another child.  That doesn't mean that I don't love him dearly and that I don't pick up after him or wipe down the sink.  It does, however, annoy me after the 10th time and I usually lose my cool.  The differene is that I'm not on t.v. and no one hears me "nag, yes, nag" him.  I feel sorry for both of them.  I think the fame and money went to their heads, and the cameras have caught it all.

I used to watch the show back when it first started. It was about the real challenges of raising kids. Now its about all the free stuff and product endorsements!You cant relate to them when they are having their teeth bleached and moving into a million dollar mansion (that their kids bought)You never see Kate playing with the kids shes too busy screaming at everyone!If a non celebrity mom was treating her children like that, they would be removed from the home. If john was cheating, it was probley so he could feel like a man again!!!

I wish the media had exposed these fraud artists sooner so those church goers didn't have to give their hard earned money to buy Kate's clothes and fund her "career".

Kate is so taken with herself and the money her kids have made for her, she has become a material woman and so self envolved, she thinks she is polly perfect  "farr from It" The show has changed not for the better it revolves around jon & kate on the couch. She pick on every word that comes out of his mouth.  It is so demeanning to a grwon man. Jon need to stand up to her someone needs put her in her place...Jon should sue for his parential rights to have the kids. Get out there and biuld a new life,  Get a normal job. any get the kids off TV give them a chance of a normal childhood  Its not to late for the younger, but madie and cara are going need proffessional help for years from what kate has done to therm.  I always felt you had a backbone I HOPE I was right the rest is up to you. BUT GET AWAY FROM KATE SHE HAS BE COME A MOMEY HUNGRY MONSTER.

Kate has soured me from the show.  Those poor babies are going to need some counseling as they grow older.  She's always on the road, so who is really raising those kids?

Kate needs to get over herself!! she tries sooo hard to be some A-list celeb, her hair looks like someone shaved her head while she was asleep. and I think she treats Jon like crap. she is a ugly, cruel, Bitch.

I don't know kate, BUT just from wwhat i see and hear, she is a bitch!

Grew up in a family of 8.  Aunt & Uncle with 10.  Two other families in our small town had 8.  Family friends that had 14.  Not once in my 30 years have I ever heard or seen ANY of the parents speak to each other the way that Kate speaks to Jon.  They treat each other with respect and demanded that all the siblings treat each other with respect.  If any of the siblings had meltdowns, pouts, made demands etc. the way the Gosselin kids act we would have ALL been removed from the public place immediately and heard exactly why on the way back home.  Kate should have to sit in a room alone with a hidden camera on her and be forced to watch every episode of Jon & Kate plus 8 so that she can see that she has some major issues to deal with.  Jon fights back when he is backed into a corner.  They certainly need to take a step back and ask themselves what is truly important in life.  It will be Kate and Jon who are the losers in the end because the kids will have each other and stick together through their adult lives. These two were 27 and 28 by the time they had 8 kids.  My Mom started having us when she was 18 and by the time she was 30 she had all 9.  There was no help, my father was working 12 or more hours a day to make ends meet.  They never accepted public help of any kind because as they put it, it was their choice to have a large family.  They didn't have 2 kids going through the same things and 6 kids going through the same things at once.  We were all in different stages and it was just my Mom home with us on a daily basis.  She would take all of out on her own and we knew before we got out of the car exactly how she expected us to act.  She, nor my father, aunt, uncle or friends parents ever yelled at each other, in public or in front of any of us.  Although every parent could pin you with a look without ever saying a word and you knew your behavior better change fast.  It can be done and it can be done with a healthy respect for each other whether spouses, parents or siblings.  The Gosselin's show what just what a materialistic society we live in today.  The kids are adorable and will, with some professional help, grow up to be functioning members of society.  They'll probably write books about their lives and tell all about their parents.

I watched the show today of the birthday party and could relate to everything. I have a successful business and people always think I am okay being married to a basketball player and have 2 young boys... I am a human and my marriage has failed, I have 2 kids to raise and my husband only has the good old days when he played basketball. I see so many people writing about me on blogs and if they only knew I was in and out of domestic violence shelters for the past 6 months, my business is popular but by the time all the expenses go out I have literally have $100.00 a week, after living expenses, food, gas, daycare.. I am in debt. The navigator was repossesed and I am currently driving the mercedes that has the engine light displayed on the dash... and pray everyday it will get me to where I need to go and back. You have no idea what people go through in life behind closed doors. I have no friends and true family around (only my Mother) because I got tired of all the faking conversation like I have it all together and people thinking I have so much money and the perfect life... I cannot even imagine having a tv show showcasing my family life, I would be so embarassed. I look up to Kate for just... "doing the best that she can"... as women and Mothers we only do the best that we can, do not judge until you experience things first hand ...LIFE! It takes us in many directions and we just do the best that we can..geez ... JUST DOING THE BEST THAT YOU CAN! In this World, with your 2 hands, 10 fingers, 1 head, 2 arms, and 1 brain... JUST DOING THE BEST THAT YOU CAN!!!

As much as I dislike the way Kate talks to Jon I will really not make excuses for either. I think the show has become very materialistic. I sincerely feel that they have forgotten what is important and sold their families for fortune and fame. However, I think that Jon probably realizes it and is now trying to reverse it. However, he doesn't appear to be strong enough to reverse all that is happening to his family because his wife has lost control and is so obssessed with it all. I think he is probably very confused and emotionally detached at this point. It doesn't surprise me he is probably shopping around though I would never condone it. They really should cash in, and start working at being a family again and leave all this other stuff alone.
