I agree with Maddie. She said it exactly how it should be said. I was thinking, oh that Kate, I hate her. But now I realized if I don’t know her and I don’t know what she acts like when she isn’t stressed on T.V than I cannot judge her!
Well truthfully I am not a “huge fan” of Kate. But I WILL NOT say rude things about someone i don’t even know! For all you know she could just be really stressed. I read all of these comments and I only saw about a few positive comments! I would like to point out one particular comment I saw and I did NOT like. Go ahead and take a look at Hannah’s comment. I think that is just rude and disrespectful! first of all just because you have a lot of kids and you aren’t really stressed and mad doesn’t mean it is illegal to be like that. Also her life is different. It is so hard to try to act all happy when things are going wrong! And what I mean by that is her husband is cheating, her kids are very young and they need to be watched every second! Also, remember that a lot of people watch her show and that people are going to judge her no matter what she does. She is always going to be stressed and you need to respect the way she feels. I know I said I am not a fan. And there is NOTHING wrong with not being a fan of someone. Personally I don’t watch this show, I’m sure if I did I would like Kate. I am not saying you have to be a fan at all, I am just pointing out, you don’t know her! You may be saying but all of those magazines! Well as I said before you don’t know her personally and those magazines could be lying! Just give her a chance!
Well, I have nothing to say but Kate is without a doubt conceited! I could list a lot of examples but I’m going to keep it short. Well, she told TLC that there should be a show about how her fashion has changed over the years! How famous does she think she is?!?! Kate wake up smell the roses, who wants to see you in another show, having you in one is giving me a headache!
Well I think that you should leave the poor lady alone! I am not saying I am a big fan or even a fan but I know what is right and its not right how everyone is judging her!
Well Nat, I can see how this may be stressing for her. I can see how that is normal, but what isn’t normal is she had about 40 nannies in only 3 months! She is just too obnoxious. She fired a nanny because after using the toilet she washed her hands in the kitchen not in the bathroom, is that a bad thing? No. And it is definitely obvious she loves her kids, that’s not the problem. The problem about Kate is nothing but herself is always perfect and good enough. She is not considerate of other people. She yells at everyone. This may be my opinion but I think it is obvious how she is not the nicest person. No, we don’t all need to hate on her now but I’m just saying that she isn’t the warmest person in the world.
Well, in my opinion I was never a fan of Kate. I always thought that she was the kind of person that you try to respect but after a while you just can’t take it anymore! After a while she started to kick it up a notch and get more like a “monster”. I typed in on Google, Kate Gosselin, mom or monster. A video link came on and i clicked on it, it was the family (without Jon of course) getting ready to do an interview, Mady wanted water and… Well long story but you get the point. She is a beast! I know that sometimes she is just stressed but no one is like that, I mean have you read the stories?
Wow…
I would like to ask you all a few questions.
Firstly, you are a new wife (or husband) and you and your partner have made the tough decision to start a family, all to find out that it’s not possible because of a defect in your body that you had no control over. Would you turn to fertility treatments?
Second, the fertility treatments worked and gave you a beautiful set of twins. You watch them grow right before your eyes for three years and think to yourself and your partner “wouldn’t just ONE more be perfect?”. Would you use fertility treatments again, despite the fact that the chances of you having another set of multiples is rather great?
Third, fertility treatments work their magic again, but when you go to the doctor for that first ultrasound, that first sight at a new life forming inside of you, you get the earth-shattering news that you do not only have two on the way, but six. Wouldn’t you be willing to do ANYTHING to make it all work out as seamlessly as possible?
And finally, after you’ve started your large family, TLC comes to you and asks to make your life an educational experience for many people by taking your life and making it into a show. They will pay you to raise your family very comfortably in exchange for a few hours worth of cameras in your home filming you. Wouldn’t you take that offer, not just for you, but for the eight lives that depend on you?
Please stop bashing Jon and Kate. They did what any SANE parents would do for their children. If you’ve ever watched the show, you would see how much Kate adores her children individually. Not as an investment, but as her offspring. Yes, she may be smarmy and sarcastic toward her husband (who may be a little sensitive), but she shows her love for her entire family on every episode of that show.
I can see that, and I don’t even have kids.
She has prostituted her entire family for fame and money. I really could give two craps about her, she doesn’t make shit difference in anyones life. I don’t get what this hype is all about?/ She is just an average looking, middle age woman, that has bore 8 children..plain and not in the least interesitng
Its all about money, fame and greed.
The trouble began when Jon had enough of him and Kate + 8. He has had feelings about the show for a long time, he wanted his family back and a normal life. Kate was able to ignore his concerns … untle season 5 came along.
Jon knew they have an oportunity to make big money .. but he wanted the show over. It had run its course and was affecting him and the children. He signed on the dotted line for the money.
plain and simple.
In a past episode .. ( reading e mails from viewers ).. Kate said: ” People think that we film for a few months .. and take the summer months off. In fact .. we have been filming solid since August of 2005. Nonstop.”
These 2 people are using children for monetary gain and if it is tearing their family apart .. so what!
Kids should not be born with a job.
I agree that Kate is somewhat a snop. She is constanly putting Jon down, and yelling at him in public (stores and Parking lots). As the old saying goes, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and Kate certainly doesn’t live in one. So what if the cribs didn’t match…have you ever heard of refinishing them, they you would want. I thought that that was very thoughtful of people to do that. Kate, wake up and smell the roses.
Are all of you who *adore* this family crazy??? First of all, she has these kids because she pumped herself full of fertility drugs…it really isn’t always in everyone’s best interest to have children, just because one wants hem. They are not accesories to HAVE, they are humans to be cherished. These two so called parents are complete sell outs. They 100% signed up for this media blitz by agreeing (over and over) to be displayed to the world. The public should pay for these kids? Really? Fertility drugs is an optional treatment, not required. That is like asking the public to pay for my boob job or nose job! Please! Selfish, anal-retentive, and just plain ridiculous are just some of the words to desribe this so called set of parents. I feel horrible for these children, who already show signs of stress and emotional damage right in front of the camera. And no one thinks anything of this?? Leave your kids for 21 out of 30 days? Why have kids if you aren’t actually going to participate in ****parenting***! Sick!
If the show was about the kids it would be cute and we also don’t need parents sitting there telling us where each kid sat during movie night.. that is ridicoulous. The picute wasn’t right after the birth the before picture was when the kids were 3 years old. She alsways wore sweats and now she is in high heels and dresses. lol If your husband is not wanting it anymore you should abide by that and pull out of the show period. She ocmplains when she ishome alone with the kids and yet she leaves Jon home alone with the kids all week.
The question I have is, did the TLC Network begin all of this drama when they had the season finale sneak peak? I know from the commercials a lot of people thought the ending episode was going to be about separating or whatever, however, the episode did not even address that, only that Jon wasn’t sure if he wanted to do another season because of the fact that people no longer see him as Jon, but as Jon and Kate Plus 8. So did TLC really stir up all of this mess to get higher ratings and attract more attention, which in turn attracts more media which begins stalking the family and taping their every move? Think about it… before the previews and the season finale, had anyone ever seen anything about them in the media? It could just be coincidence, but it does make me wonder.
With the cheating ordeal, who doesn’t have friends of the opposite sex? Are they not aloud to have other friends without people jumping to conclusions thinking they aren’t being faithful? Until I hear from Jon or Kate’s mouth admitting to it, or see proof I’m not going to believe it one bit. They both realize they are in the public eye and they are smart people, if either of them really were cheating on the other, they’d be much smarter about it, especially with 8 kids and a camera crew…
Ya i know that people probably shouldnt be watching there every move and revealing these things about them but they are!…there is so much investigation and evidece against them about cheating and money and everything. I love(ed) the show but i hate that them being filmed all the time has ruined there family. I believe that if any stress or struggle ruins a family then they shouldnt be justified because there if never an exception for scandal and possible divorce.
The before and after picture is ridiculous. The before picture was right after giving birth to her SIX kids! Can you blame her for looking different FIVE years later?? Whose styles and looks don’t change several years later? If I were raising 8 children all near the same age, I’m sure I’d be just as bossy and critical as she is. I’m not trying to say that she is perfect by any means, but I really wish people would just leave this all alone and let the family be. I hate how being on TV always seems to ruin families…
All of my friends love this show and we have all looked forward to watching the kids grow up, but Jon and Kate’s possible split makes it look as though this will not be possible. We have also noticed how bossy Kate is and do not blame Jon for cheating on his anal, controling appearance-obsessed wife. I hope the show continues despite the couple’s divorce.
How her fashion has changed over the years? Really? She honestly thinks people are that interested in her? I’m starting to think that she isn’t just an unpleasant person but an actual, diagnosable narcissist.
I feel bad for Mady and Cara, too. I am sure the twins are old enough to sense and even understand that there is something wrong. Especially since last season with the big hoopla renewal vows that Kate said showed the children mommy and daddy would love each other forever. It started out as a beautiful family show and the struggles of raising eight children. Now it’s all about Kate. She even suggested a show about how her fashion has changed over the years. Really, Kate, who cares? Kate is very attractive and she knows it….but my grandmother said, “Pretty is as pretty does.” Kate is not at her most attractive when she is rude and nasty to others. I wonder how she would like being called a “ding dong” in front of millions of viewers?
She’s leaving her brood for 21 out of 30 days? While her husband is off courting young hotties at all hours? Who is raising those poor kids? I feel especially bad for the older ones who had a normal life and two real parents before the ‘tups were born and the cameras rolled in.
I agree with Maddie. She said it exactly how it should be said. I was thinking, oh that Kate, I hate her. But now I realized if I don’t know her and I don’t know what she acts like when she isn’t stressed on T.V than I cannot judge her!
i think this family needs help!
Well truthfully I am not a “huge fan” of Kate. But I WILL NOT say rude things about someone i don’t even know! For all you know she could just be really stressed.

What do I think about Kate? Well I will give you a few words to describe what I think about her!
Well Nat, I can see how this may be stressing for her. I can see how that is normal, but what isn’t normal is she had about 40 nannies in only 3 months! She is just too obnoxious.

Kate has a farting problem that no one talks about. She is a monster.
Wow…

Get a life, people.

And why did they sign on for another season if Jon is upset about not having a real life?
What i dont undertand is that if all of this is just a possible lie for media ratings, then why did Jon and Kate sign on for another season?
The question I have is, did the TLC Network begin all of this drama when they had the season finale sneak peak?

KP you couldn’t have said it any better! I adore this family. Gosselins we wish you the best of luck.

Whoa…that is a before picture? I thought maybe it was the nanny who was fired!
She’s leaving her brood for 21 out of 30 days? While her husband is off courting young hotties at all hours? Who is raising those poor kids? I feel especially bad for the older ones who had a normal life and two real parents before the ‘tups were born and the cameras rolled in.
I also vote Monster. She only whines and PRETENDS to be “picky and busy”.
WHOA, I didn’t even recognize her in that ‘before’ pic.
