I used to be one of those moms who watched the show because Kate was relatable.  I too had to clip coupons and grocery shop when the kids were asleep (she during nap time and me at night).  But that ended a couple of seasons ago when all the shows became about the fabulous vacations that they were going on and the special star treatment that they were getting.  That's not my life.  I'm still clipping coupons and shopping at night.

After reading the letter in the jump, I'm appalled at what the publisher wrote. She was so rude! I'm not a Kate fan (though I don't dislike her, either), but this publisher's letter is completely self-serving and out of line. Why invite her if you're just going to bash her? If Kate had been warm and friendly, would that have cancelled out the writer's rude comments about her having the audacity to go on a book tour?: "Quite honestly, although we were delighted to bring you to town, as a mother myself, I was surprised that you've hit the road to promote your two books, given all that's going on and the responsibilities you have with eight children, all 8 years old or younger. You have a full plate, and it must be a struggle to balance all of the demands on your time and in your life. You obviously don't wish to compromise on your own needs either."  

It's interesting that the publisher has a LOT to say about Kate now that: 1. She charged a boatload for tickets and filled the house 2. Kate's gone.  

By the way, the writing of this piece is confusing... in parts it seemed like you were on Kate's side, when, clearly, you're not.

I watched one maybe two shows and I immediatly didn't like Kate. While the Children are adorable and Her Husband seems really sweet, She came across as extremely unlikable. She isn't nice to her Husband and shrill to her Children. Arrogance drips from her. I an unable to find any sympathy for her and I will not be watching in the future.

Barb - er - Kate:

You are blaming the messenger?  Kate was rude and cold to her hosts, whom by the way paid her a nice hefty sum for her appearance.

Kate, get off your high horse before you crash down even further and for the love of everything get your kids out of the spotlight.

That's awesome! Finally someone that didn't cow-tow to her and actually said something.

Thanks to the person who wrote this article about Kate. Please someone send this article to Kate.

Kate has and will always be about Kate.

When i look back on the early shows all you saw was her barking orders to Jon:  "Jon feed the kids, Jon i want them bathed in 30 minutes, Jon, i want them in bed, Get the girls ready for school" and so on. Lets not forgot the numerous slaps in the face she tried to make funny.

Going to a strange doctors home to recover after he gave her the free tummy tuck, lord knows how long she milked that once she got home.

The kids are money makers for her and thats about all she really cares about.

I am surprised Jon lasted as long as he did.

She had to have him home instead of him going to work, why was that?, so he could yet do even more for her.

Kate is the type who will never admit to being wrong in what has happened here.

Even in the opening show, she did her best to let everyone know she was the one trying to do everything right since all hell broke loose.

She ignored Jon so bad at the party, it had to be uncomfortable for everyone there, i know i was mumbling some harsh words sitting here watching.

I hope they pull the plug on this show now, Jon can keep his sanity and dignity and Kate can move on to her new Sugar Daddy/ Body Guard, although i doubt he will hang around very long when the money stops coming in.

Good luck Kate, your going to need it!

I hope someone who has authority steps in and speaks for these children. They are being used for profit.  Now I hear that Uncle Kevin is writing a tell-all book about the Gosselins and what "really" goes on behind the scenes. This is just sick! How can he do this to those beautiful children? They are innocent lambs. They just want their parents together. When I heard that poor child asking her daddy not to leave anymore it was just heartbreaking!

Winnie, maybe because people are falling for lies so easily, Uncle Kevin has no choice but to expose the truth to protect the children.  

Don't want it to happen?  Then encourage your friends and family and everyone you know to write to TLC to cancel the program.  Tell sponsors that you will not buy their products if they continue to sponsor this program.  Turn off the program.

Aunt Jodi said that Jon and Kate are blinded and lost right now.  That may be true.  Quick fame and easy fortune has a way of doing that to people, allowing them to be blinded to what is really important in life.  Dont' want the tell-all book?  Don't want that to be the last resort to get help to save these kids before it is too late?  Get moving!  Contact TLC and the sponsors.  Turn off the TV when Jon and Kate comes on.

I don't blame Uncle Kevin for writing a tell all book, he can his name and Aunt Jodie's name. They are really very nice people, and they are trying to get Kate to see the light when it come to the kids. She is blinded and lost with this sudden fame. The only way anything good will come, is if they do pull the plug. I already did write a letter to one of the sponsors. The ones that supply her with her sunglasses.

Well! Kate is a bid spoiled. Not all her false though. partly contribute to her husband Jon and partly on the success of the show. Kate has a control freak personality, else she wouldn't married to a younger man. I hope both of them really work out the differences and resort those long lost passion on each other and fall deep in love again instead of those materialistic things.  I fully understand Kate try to take advantage to get as much gain as she could for the nest egg so her children could continue enjoy security and have a great future. But if that lost of self, all her afford will just delusional and net her nothing at the end.

Kate needs to be knocked off her high horse, and stop putting her children's lives at risk by forcing them to be on a reality show.  She has made her millions off of those kids, she should get off tv, stop traveling so much and stay home to be a MOTHER for crying out loud.

While I do agree with many of the comments here, I feel the need to reply to the person who wrote that "kate has a control freak personality, which is why she is married to a younger man". The control freak part, I am in obvious agreement with. But get realistic, a "younger" man?? They are not even 2 years apart in age, I don't think that age is at all relevant, it's a personality thing!
