While Jon Plays, Kate Gosselin Picnics with the Kids

July 13th, 2009 5:19 am / Author: Chris Morran

Kate Gosselin
While soon-to-be-ex-husband Jon Gosselin was off with his new girlfriend in France, Kate Gosselin was busy entertaining their eight children.

Enjoying the beautiful summer weather in their hometown of Reading, PA, on Sunday, Kate set up a picnic for her litter of little ones.

And unlike previous front-yard family get-togethers, where the reality mom was known more for barking orders than having fun, witnesses tell OK! that Kate was “super-sweet” and “very attentive” during Sunday’s outing.

The Discussion

  1. Bobo says:

    Correction: Jon is human, Kate is not. Kate is pathological. Look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder and you will find a description of what Kate really is. I said from day one they would be divorced some day because she was such a shrew. Turns out I was right. I just didn’t count on Jon being such a stupid jerk as well. As I say about most extremely dyfunctional couples - they deserve each other. They should be made to stay together just to save the world from two more bad relationships.

      In the beginning I felt Kate was such a bitch!!! 0mg.. p0or guy. But, Honestly she had alot on her plate. I could never compare to her, many of use CANNOT!!! She is caring for THEIR 8 children.. He is an A_HOLE.. BIG time… If it wasnt for Kate and the kids his ass wouldnt know what it is to leave Reading, PA… He has all this due to Kate and the kids…including his hair implants. He was all a show…All along he was a A-HOLE and only kate knew the real deal…and when ever she had a chance…she called him out!!!!!
      He is using his childrens money to travel and help this Bi0tch launce her shoe collection..
      Get da F… 0ut of here!!! I pray Kate gets full custody of the kids… GETS A NEW TV SHOW!!
      with0ut HIM!!!! makes it big!!!! And, I cant wait to hear when the AIR head gets what she wants then dumbs him……… who in their right mind would leave his beautiful kids for some dumd b@#!ch? idk AM A BIT UPSET!

      • sk123 says:

        I agree with you. Unfortunately, men leave their wives for young bimbos every day. After 23 years of marriage, my ex left me and our 4 kids for a young woman he met on the INTERNET!!! Never in a million years would I have thought he would be start thinking with his d**k once he hit middle age. It sucks!

    • geraldine hudgens says:

      Come on now how would you be . Just leave her alone .

    • Mary says:

      Kate should definfitely use the pics of Jon’s new girlfriend smoking a blunt and then there’s the mug shot from her arrest. Jon seems to be having his mid-life meltdown - the man should get a job and support his kids. His clothing line is nothing but a sweat shop - off his kids own backs. I wouldn’t let Jon’s girlfriend ANYWHERE near my kids. A restraining order is more like it! If Kate sometimes acted like a shrew it was only because Jon acted like one of the children - no, in fact, he wasn’t even as mature as the kids. He blames Kate for his “shortcomings” but I think it was more like Kate grew and he didn’t.

  2. Bonnie says:

    My lord. I guess I am just a hard nose. But I been the Other woman. My first husband would go and bring home my sisters kids for the weekend. One weekend I had his step brother, and step sister, 2 nieces and 4 nephews and his 12 year old little sister while his dad and step mom were out of town and 2 of my sisters were moving I thought I would go crazy chasing all those kids.And my husband decided to go out with his Uncle to a bar. And I found out in the meantime he was with his girlfriend. I found out the 3 years we were together he had at least 6 girlfriends on the side. Chasing all those kids is not easy. And then you find out your husband is being unfaithful. Lord it scares me as to what kind of Diseases he may be bringing back to those little kids they only been seperated 3 weeks and he been shown with HOW many chick. And now he is a father of 8 and has his ears pierced. And is dressing like a teenager. Talk about mid life crisis. I used to think it was Kate But I really begin to wonder.

  3. Lori says:

    If you would look closely, this picture is from their July 4th Picnic day.

    And we don’t see her running around with a younger man, she is being shown only with her children. As she is the bread winner in the family. She will have to figure out how to create income to support her children, while Jon wants to use and abuse the children as models for is new clothing line. For Jon is it obviously not about his kids, but about the money his kids will bring him.

  4. monica says:

    I think Jon has abandoned his children and one day it will only come back to bit him in the a**. Kate may have become a little over bearing but she had to be the adult while trying to keep her children happy she had to be the one to figure out everything, Jon was just along for the ride. I hope that Kate can one day find a man who will be able to take care of her and those beautiful children and not just want them for money. However, there will be a lot of users like Jon.

    • Gail Brodeur says:

      I think you are all wrong Jon will be the better parent and should have all the kids, With Kate it’s just for show she miss treats her kids, shes all about Kate she miss treated her husband and she treats her kids badly just ask them who they would rather be with if you don’t believe me

      • Terri says:

        For those of you who say Kate mistreats her kids….have you EVER seen her mistreat her kids?? EVER?? If you are quoting a gossip rag, that doesn’t count! I have never seen her mistreat her kids nor do I think Jon would be the better parent! Who already has a barely out of her teens girlfriend and is off in another country trying to start up some new business with an second woman? That man is over the top..they were supposed to be spending time with the kids to help them deal with this breakup, meanwhile she is there playing and BEING with her kids while he is off playing with another child….his new girlfriend! Get real!!

        • Lisa says:

          Everyone is so quick to jump on the Kate hate bandwagon and give Jon praises. I’m with you Terri, Kate has never mistreated her children, she was given an opportunity to support her kids so that they would not have to struggle and do without. How many parents would jump at the chance she has been given. Everyone points a finger at her but they forget that when she and Jon meet he had been “bumming around Europe” and basically taking odd jobs for spending money. He was living with his mom! when the babies where born he had no job, couldn’t get a job bcause he was fired for misconduct and couldn’t even get unemployment! they had nothing and at times she worried about not only paying the bills but how they would feed the kids. Jon didn’t seem to worry he wouldn’t work. Now that they has all this income he doesn’t like “the attention” but he sure likes the money!!! I hope Kate nails his sorry butt to the wall, he doesn’t get one thing or one penny. Then lets see how many of the women want him..admit it hes no prize.

      • VICKY says:

        You have it all wrong…Jon is an egotistical bastard….Any mann that would make the remarks he made on national television about being excited at starting the “new chapter” in his life, is an idiot. That makes it plain as day that he doesn’t care one iota what happens to his children (as long as they keep making him a living so he can run around with crank wh***s), and spend their money! The dead beat quit his job and as you can plainly see, he doesn’t have another one, or making no attempts to find another one. Kate should have full custody of the kids and put a restraining order against his gal pal. I would not want her near my children, and at this point am not sure I would want Jon near them either.

      • Terry Chung says:

        hi Mary,

        better shut your fucking mouth bitch!!! you don;t know anyhthing yet you bad mouthing about john..

        • Kat says:

          You shut the F&%$ up…..I have 5 kids with my husband who is awesome, but running after them makes a total Biotch sometimes, but I treat him good for the most part…..but cameras would never catch that, ya know. He has just flat given up and does not care how hard she has worked to keep their home and life from falling apart. If he did not want to do more seasons of the show to make money, then he should have frown a pair and flat said “No!” But thus lies the problem, he is a pu&^y,, not a d*#k.

  5. Lisa says:

    I think that Kate is a bit.., but, she at least stays with the kids most of the time, and now Jon is already traveling and making points with his new girlfriend. I think he is an ass for making such a trip so soon before he is even legally divorced. Makes me think that he was having fun way before she knew. How could he go on so quickly after all this? Even if he has known her, he should use a little discretion and keep his private life behind closed walls til all the divorce stuff is settled. THey are both a very weird couple, but wouldn’t you be bitchy if your husband never really wanted to be with you anyway? He never liked the idea, and on the show that aired with him skiing, he yelled at the camera,\I am free, I feel like a kid again\, and you know he felt tied down. He wants the kids, but none of the work. THey need to stop airing them all and let them try and get themsleves together.

  6. JULIE says:

    Jon didnt waste anytime. There is no excuse for cheating which he obviously did before the breakup. She might have been hard on him but that still is no excuse for the actions he has taken

    • Rob says:

      Comming from a married guys perspective…I dont care how bad it gets Jon should have stayed (seperate beds) for the kids sake. He should have sucked it up for another ten years and then leave. Hell who knows they might have even made up.

  7. doris says:

    My Dearest Kate, people are always quick to judge, do what you must, to keep your kids together and happy as much as they can be. I had to do it, right after my parents passed on and my youngest was only 8 months old. NO I didn’t have 8, only 3, but thru a lot of hard work and determination, I did it. This was 22 years ago when he abandoned us! To make a long story short, He got re-married and re-divorced and then He passed on three years ago this coming labor day in a tragic 11 car accident. My Kids are now productive adults with college educations. What more can one ask for. Me now I’m seeking that special someone to start living the rest of my life! I’ll leave you with this saying that my aunt told me 22 years ago.” I know it’s hard having a lot of responsibility when you’re young, but it can be done”!
    Don’t LOOK Back Kate, Live and Learn from everything in life!

  8. diana says:

    With acres and acres of property why does Kate choose to have a picnic in the front yard directly i n front of the paparazzi? When Jon and/or Kate want publicity they “perform” in the front yard so all the world can see. (For example the bikini photos) Kate knew she would come off as the good guy during this Jon and girlfriend news time, if seen happily spending time with her kids. Otherwise she would be away in New York or somewhere similar being a diva wann abe.

    • marie says:

      YES… I have been saying this for months. They live on 24 acres with trees and bushes. They have a gorgeous private pool area.

      Where do they do their “picnics”? Right near the driveway where all the cameras from the road can zoom in.

      Those 2 older girls look miserable. I feel so sorry for all the kids, but especially the twins.

      Shame on Kate and Jon. SHAME! Kate is too late in trying to be a stay at home”mommy” and Jon should be SHOT for flaunting his mistress in the faces of his children. What a moron. Does he really think any pretty 23 year old would want to be with a mumbling, balding, chubby 32 year old married father of 8 .. IF.. he was still just a computer geek? Give me a break. What an ego!

      They better start saving their $$$, the show will probably go down the tubes and how can Kate expect anyone to buy her sham of a book?

      Poor children.. poor, poor children.

      • Amy says:

        Yes, they have 20 something acres. And yes, she does picnic in the front yard by the driveway. Did any of you think that maybe she does this so that the kids can do different things and still all be watched at the same time? Some may want to chill on the blanket and some may want to ride their bikes or drive that little motorized thing around. Be real people. Not everything is for show. Some things are just done for practicality.
        As for Jon, GROW UP! Does he really think any of his little bimbos would have him if he didn’t have money? think not….

    • jane says:

      Kate’s lawyer is telling what and where she should go. All for her image. When Kate was on with the Orange County Choppers, the NY Chopper fella said that she always has to have her own way. So he picked that up pretty quick. I say give the children to the couple that have 18 children and counting. Those parents will give them some structure.

  9. shelly says:

    Since day one I thought he was an a**. She had to be the way she was, because he was like having another child. He has constantly complained. He drives me crazy. How would it feel to have the majority of the responsibility and not have a partner. I am a full time working mom that handles 95% of the household chores. I only have two children. I don’t know where the woman got the strength to keep him around as long as she has. It was all about him and his needs. He makes me sick!!!!!!!!!! Most women tend to make decisions based on the welfare and happiness of their children, as well as do most men. However, there are men like Jon, who are all about what they want and what they need. He is so selfish!!!!! I feel so sorry for those children.

  10. Joann says:

    Jon has been a ‘wuss’ from the beginning — Kate had to step up and be the boss early on, because Jon would not accept the responsibility. Somebody had to do it, and then they called her a shrew!!
    She had 9 kids, not 8. Jon just wants to have a good time. He has complained about having 8 kids at 27. DUH!!!!. Who did it?????????????
    Now be a man and step up to the responsibility — I have absolutely NO respect for him!!!!!

  11. Meryl says:

    Well obviously Jon is going through Mid life crisit or whatever you want to call it. Getting a one bedroom place in New York at $3,5000.00 a month is a good place to have for someone who wants enjoy his children. A “kids pad” for sure. Give me a break you can disc Kate all you want but she was the organizer and the one who had to be smart ot accomplish all sh did on Valentine’s Day birthdays and all the Holidays. You can call her names and make her out to be a “shrew” but when you have a spinless cheat lurking around what do you want her to do. Jon said she took over well you can’t be taken over if you don’t want to. He did not have the guts to come out and tell her Had to get caught out on the town with the “young chickie”. He signed the contract for the show and he has benefited from the money. Who paid for the trip to France? The show and the women that is still doing for the children. He didn’t want to be married any more and he did not want the responsibility of the kids all the time. Get real you nay sayers who thinks this gals a horror story. Ya he really cares about the kids gets to visit on weekends “typical” weekend father. She gets to be responsible while he tramps all over Europe getting his “nucie” on. Unreal!!! Dressing like a kid and becoming motorcycle daddys while his ex-wife takes the kids to the beach and picnic. The kids deserve a real father who wants to be a part of their lives, not just for the money. If the heat was too much with beng on a reality show then Jon should of bowed out long ago and let the show go on without him. Kate and 6 minus Jon. He is a typical whiner poor little Jon so abused and beaten down!!!

  12. Maureen says:

    I have to admit I was quick to dislike Kate when I first saw the show. That has view has changed completely over the past year. Kate is the one working to make an income between her books and the show. What has Jon been up to? Yes, she is more like a drill sargent at times and I never did like the way she spoke to Jon. I have come to realize that the show should have been called KATE AND HER NINE CHILDREN or perhaps KATE & THE ADULT CHILD PLUS 8 MORE, and she was kind enough to allow Jon’s name to go first in the title, perhaps to sooth a male ego. Kate has been the adult, the one to make sure “it” all gets done when it needs to be done. Jon gets to be the “good guy” and not the disciplinarian. Not fair. So where is Jon now? Trying to get a show and a clothing line for his little girlfriend before his pull and power with the media is gone baby gone. Kate had to put on the pants because Jon should still be wearing little boy knickers. Whiner..

  13. Dee Dee says:

    If I made 36 MILLION A YEAR because I gave birth and people wanted to have a sneak peak into my life,—viewed one day a week— Well I guess I’d put up with it. Might even go to my head.Then okaying articles like these (for a mere $1000. more every day) would create SUCH THE HARDSHIP —that I would be laughing my way to the bank every MINUTE.Now Kate can try to get modeling jobs for herself AND her kids. But of course above and beyond the mere 36 million plus $1000/day for these bothersome little articles.

  14. Maureen says:

    I just saw the photos of Jon and his little girlfriend. OH WAIT, she is not his girlfriend and it never happened, isn’t that what he said when he got caught leaving a bar with her? I am so confused.. is Jon a cheater or a MAJOR WHINEY FACE LYING CHEATER? Not sure I would trust the little boy to have any time at all with the kids since he is still such a baby himself. LOSER

  15. Norma Jean says:

    Kate I have been with you from the very beginning….I realise that with all those adorable little kids someone has to step up to the plate and take care of them….You are doing a magnificant job in every way and its not too surprising that Jon is overwhelmed by your capabilities and due to his weak personality needs someone to look up to him like he’s some kind of leader which he is not….Pursuing much younger women tells the story loud and clear and he will simply go from one to the next until he realises the best real woman and the fantastic Mother of his 8 kids is his ex wife….Even men see him as a lazy fool who will be sorry eventually at how badly he has behaved and greatly affected his family which should have been his first priority….and not himself..Keep on Keepin on Kate and God be with you…Remember to laugh and bring joy into the lives of yourself and your little ones…Its not all about money which helps….You can never take back these very formative years!!! …nj from E Tenn

  16. Tai says:

    hahaha! people say Jon is out traveling around and Kate stays home. Bull! She is gone the majority of the month on her own travels and has been since first starting to plug her books written by her ex-friend Beth which she takes credit for! she just got back from California, people! Jon was the primary caretaker while she did nothing, if you recall from watching the show!

  17. AJ says:

    JON IS SUCH AN A#$ I THINK THE TERMS OF THE DIVORCE SHOULD BE TO SPLIT THE MONEY FROM THE SHOW 10 WAYS WHICH INCLUDES THE KIDS. NOT 50-50. SEE HOW LONG JON’S SHARE WILL LAST AT THE RATE HE IS SPENDING. THEN TO HAVE THE NERVE TO USE HIS CHILDREN TO MODEL HIS DESIGNS THE VERY SAME CHILDREN HE HAS BASICALLY ABANDONED. YOU GO KATE!! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN YOUR CORNER CAUSE I COULD TELL HE WAS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR KIDS INSTEAD OF YOUR PARTNER BY HIS WHINING CHOICE. I LOVE THOSE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN AND I PRAY FOR THEM AND WITH A MOTHER LIKE KATE I AM SURE THEY WILL TURN OUT FINE

  18. Ljayne says:

    Doesn’t look very attentive to me, she’s always using that PINK CRACKBERRY!!! And Jon dating the 22 year old daughter of the TUMMY TUCK DOCTOR…what the heck??? I used to LOVE their show…but it’s getting harder and harder to feel the love these days!

  19. VV says:

    Yo go KATE!!!! Jon just wants to be hooking up with females,, while u are taking care of eight children, yea u may have treated him not so good, but atleast u r with them much more than he is!!!

  20. Boonie says:

    Sorry Kate. They have 50 acres, why are they always in the front yard in view of the paps as she calls them. She just wants to be photographed being the loving perfect mom. Its not about the kids, its all about her. I don’t think the real STORY HAS YET BEEN TOLD. WAIT AND SEE.

  21. karen wolf says:

    Kate you hang in their your husband is a loser he just wanted to be free of you and the darling children so he could still think he is a kid at heart and all he is doing is making hinself look cheap and a whoremaster but you keekp your head up I know its hard I have been there but you can do it and you will be the happy one in the end You and your kids are in my prayers

  22. JJ says:

    Bobo was right on the mark. Our doctors at school diagnosed Kate with that exact diagnosis after the first episode. She’s in serious need of anger management, it seems that all of her kids dislike/fear her. This nut needs therapy. The bodyguards wife better keep all eyes around her husband, this screwball is a fatal attraction waiting to happen.

  23. Kate is always out promoting her book deal, because if you watched the show, Jon wanted her to. I think he is going through his midlife crisis and he will get his. Grow up and be a man. If you didn’t like the way you were treated then you didn’t have to marry her in the first place. Jon has no idea what his immature childish action are going to do to his children. They have been through enough with the paparazzi and all that they need their father to be a man, and not another sibling to them. Hang in there Kate, because what goes around, comes around. Your a WONDERFUL mother.

  24. Susie says:

    Jon needs to get his priorities straight and get over his mid life crisis! The photographers are following him because of HIS actions…maybe he should be home with his wife and kids versus leaving bars with young girls. What’s with the pierced ears and hair piece Jon? Get over yourself! Remember you signed up to do the TV show with your WIFE. If it weren’t for your WIFE and KIDS you would be nothing!

  25. ibehoney says:

    Why is it so hard to believe that Jon wants to be happy? I mean she treated him like a dog ,, and I mean that literally ,,we all see how she treats her dogs~ I have not seen anything that would give him a reason to love or at the very least like her as a person ,,let alone a wife ~ Good luck to Jon , and I hope Kate can keep from demeaning her children like she did her husband ,, or they will leave someday too … and not want to come back~

  26. Dar says:

    I’ve never watched the show, so only going by what I’ve read in mag’s and heard on talk shows. But seems Jon needs to grow up!!! He has 8 beautiful children, and though seperated, still a married man, and flying off to Europe with his twentysome girlfriend,,,,I might not be up with the times, but HELLO,,,,something is wrong with this picture???????? Kate, good luck and wish you the best of luck, I was a single mom for eight years, but only had one child, can’t imagine having 8.

  27. BG says:

    I have always felt sorry for Kate and thought she was getting the bum’s rush. No one is perfect. She certainly isn’t but she is the one with the kids and the one that has been the guiding force behind the organizing and the rearing and keeping the house and home together. I think Jon is an ass. I don’t know him personally no. I think if he has been so unhappy for so long then he should have opened his mouth before it got to such a degree that he had to walk and leave those adorable babies behind him. YEAH an apartment in NYC with a bedroom for one. YEP that sounds like a man on a mission to take control of his life and family. Wrong. Sounds like a man who is walking away from his responsibilities, leaving it where he has always left them with his wife. I truly hope that Kate finds happiness again—and not just with another man—happiness does not mean finding another mate but if she does MORE POWER TO HER. Find someone that will treat her special and her children like the angels that they are. AND JON? Well he can do the daddy visitation thing OR HECK make more babies with the new chick or with how many more others he knocks up. I feel so badly for that little family. Jon excluded. HAPPINESS and LOVE to KATE AND THE CHILDREN. LIFE IS OUT THERE FOR THE TAKING……..

  28. Angie says:

    Well, hmmmm. She was definitely a bitch. He was definitely patient. But…..She IS WOMAN and probably naturally very psychic + AWARE. And despite her NO TACT and uncontrolled infuriated behaviors…she probably saw it coming and was reacting before it was obvious. Possibly in a subliminal plea for help or shildish temper trantrum form before anyone knew he’d play the SHMUCK role. Give him enough rope and he’ll hang himself. Hopefully she herself wasn’t raised with the Chaos Theory and secretly proceeds to seek the relationship “fixed” when THEY obviously need professional intervention and mediation. But she has appeared less up tight lately…… There should be a law about COPPING OUT though….I mean…..like community service, plus marital service. Work on being extra kind, even though you don’t want to until one of you (them) cracks and smilles….then regroup and back to the game plan. Game Plan Kids First.

    Peace People

  29. Stephanie says:

    GET OFF KATE’S BACK BECAUSE SHE IS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND NOT TRAVELING THE GLOBE WITH SOME TRASHY 22 YEAR OLD!!! SO YEAH GET OFF HER BACK AND GET A LIFE~ SHE LOVES THOSE KIDS AND IT SEEMS LIKE JON LOVES HIS 22 YEAR OLD! ~ WHICH IS THE GOOD PARENT?

  30. Heather says:

    Where are the \Team Kate\ and \Team John\ t-shirts? They do those for every other celebrity mess.

  31. Robin says:

    Why is kate ALWAYS on her cell when viewed with her children?
    When you see her in photos with her kids she is never doing anything constructive with them. She isn’t even looking toward them.
    These children look very unhappy. I rarely see any of them smile in photos that are taken with Mommy Kate. It really is a sad situation for the kids. I hope J & K will remember that they will remain parents after the divorce and that thier children always come first!

  32. Tami says:

    They’re both to blame. Kate is a controlling, self-centered, photo-op shrew. Jon is a child in a man’s body. If this were really a loving family, they’d have hauled the kids out of the spotlight at the first sign of trouble. Kate is on the phone when photographed with her children, and they DO look miserable. If it’s not about celebrity, and “Hey! Look at Meee”, she’d go somewhere on the sly with those kids, and let them have some private time with Mom. Ridiculous to earn so much money, just because you gave birth to a large number of children. It’s exploitation in it’s worst form. I bet if Kate and Jon didn’t have the millions they earn from television and book tours, they’d find a way to make their marriage work.

  33. jean says:

    Hailey is pregnant and she and Jon are engaged. That’s Kate’s reason for quick divorce filing.

  34. I do not believe I could do half the job this woman does with these kids. Yes, there has to be someone in charge and it obviously was not Jon. Kate does what she has to do to get through each and every day with 8 children. Jon was not a active parent( obviously he had time to go get a girlfriend). Jon should have been the leader in his family and not have it all fall on Kate’s shoulders. I can understand them doing the reality show, because I would worry about providing all the necessities for 8 children.. food, clothes, school, proms, cars, college, etc,,,
    I feel for Kate because everyone is judging her while she has had a ton of pressure on her. Yet, who has the children and who is in France (without any of his kids). I guess we see who is the better parent, whether you like it or not, she is there for those children. How dare Jon help make this many kids and decide to go off and start over somewhere else! Jon is a waste of skin. Kate is better off without him. I applaud the effort this woman is giving, because a less strong person would have cracked by now. Stay strong Kate and do what it takes!

  35. sandi says:

    I always thought that Kate was the brains behind this family. My mistake was to also defend Jon . I have changed that opinion for sure! I thought she was a bit rough because Jon acted like a 9 th child most of the time. You should not have to tell your husband what to do every minute. I am sick of the guys who say they always get yelled at for doing it wrong. I think they do it wrong hoping they won’t be asked to do anything again. Kate will support these kids and she treats them well also. I am glad that she does not let them get away with crap the way so many moms do today. A pat on the bottom is not child abuse. Jon is an a**hole and should only have supervised visits. The little boy got hurt in Jon’s care the weekend he decided that he needed to sign autographs instead of watching his children. This is the man who said he did not want the publicity remember? What is he doing now?? You go Kate!

  36. Angie says:

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaa, Stephanie.

    Wendy & Tami got it down.

    Get the kids out of the spot light! Of course the dude is a shmuck! But—she originally saw something in him……….Media screws everything up for common pepole that NEED $ and want a little spotlight….that can’t really handle it. Although, she IS holding up.

    I don’t judge her. We have 8 kids. Don’t really want a reality show…but do applaud her, despite her controlling behavior and ‘tude. Like I said, she probably saw it coming. I grasp for control when I see a tornado coming too.

  37. Suzy says:

    Kate booted Jon out of the bedroom almost 2 years ago….I thought that Vow Renewal shindig in Hawaii seemed a little ‘hollow’ at the time. I think she thought he would put up with everything ‘her way’ for the money but in his own words…He finally ’stood up’ and actually seemed pretty pleased with himself about it. The horny guy is looking forward to his future with the dumb twit with cigs hanging from their mouths….arrested development?

  38. AM says:

    Yeah, she’s a real prize.

    Jon is a self-absorbed delusional teenage boy. No wonder Kate has been short with him. He’s all about having fun and himself. Isn’t is bad enough that he is going through a very public divorce? Not for that idiot, he has to parade his druggy mistress around so that the kids can hear about that! His line of bull about caring about his children is wearing thin. He only cares about the paycheck they can provide him. GET A JOB you lazy creep. Support your children.

    OMG did you watch the episode when the kids are sick and kate makes them lay on the floor like dogs so they don’t puke on the furniture causing her staff (oops poor kate ) more work, or when they got the dogs and the kids thanked her and she said you are not welcome? poor kate has to take care of her kids are you crazy try the nanny takes care of the kids,Kate a good mom spare me I have 8 kids too I put my self through nursing school when I was pregnant with number 5 no one helped me my husband works ,I work full time outside the home alternating shifts with the hubby because we have no nanny my youngest has a serious chd and has had two open heart surgeries in his first three months of life and has one to go and we take care of him ourselves, I do not respect Jon for cheating on Kate but I believe she has been unfaithful too just not as publically if my husband cheated he’d be gone but let’s be real Jon raises the kids he treats them like people not his personel paycheck, Kate is putting on a show so that people feel sorry for her and the show will not be cancelled, she treats jon and her children like crap, Jon is a more hands on parent I hope he gets te kids and I hope Kate gets the psychological help she needs.

    MAYBE KATE HAD A “REASON” TO BE BITCHY!, SHE HAD HER TUMMY TUCK WHEN THE KIDS WERE 2, SO JON MUST HAVE MET HIS “GIRLFRIEND”, THEN!. I WONDER HOW HER PLASTIC SURGEON FEELS ABOUT HIS SLUTTY, HOMEWRECKER DAUGHTER?. I DO NOT LIKE JON ANYMORE!, HE HAS ABANDONED HIS 8 KIDS, AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED. HE IS A BASTARD WITH A CAPITAL B!.

    OKAY, I want to know where the 2 beautiful german shephards are? In their cages like Kate said is where they belong.Yes, I feel sorry for the kids, but I’m also a dog lover, for Gods sake someone take those dogs away from that witch and give them a good home before it’s too late for them!!!

    Kate is a dip stick for a mom. She demanded to much to get what SHE wanted. Sure she wants her children to dress good and a nice house and all. Who don’t, but we don’t sell our children out to the highest bidder to get it and get what we want. Most adults work for a living to support the family. Most children don’t pay the parents bills. Kate will never let the kids go and try to be oh so nice for the pictures and camera’s and all. After all she needs the show to go on, the books to go on and maybe another thing with WB so she can have her all mighty bank account fat so she can spend as she wants. She wanted the show to go on, Jon tried to get away from it. She used and abused that man and drove him away. I don’t like it if her messed around on her but who would put up with her sorry ass. She needed him to sell more of her and the kids. She is a selfish Bitch and will use anyone she can. Anyone can put on a happy face when needed. She does not fool me or many others anymore. She deseves the slap in the face and the wake up call. She is a miserable shrew. I feel so bad for those children. What Kate has done to her own family is a disgrace. And now she is trying to get with WB for something else. Wonder if it is her story. Guess she is still selling what she can even though it will hurt the children yet again one day. Oh those poor kids will have hell the rest of their lives for what their own mom has done to them. Kate is a beast, she must have demons in her.

    Hey Kate (and Jon) I’m not sure if you even read these blogs but I just wanted to say this to get it off my chest…
    I am a stay-at-home Mum of a 4mth old baby girl called Phoenix. Without facebook & foxtel I would have gone crazy but now. When my husband said we had to cut back our packages, I said I don’t care what you get rid of, as long as I can still have Jon & Kate plus 8. I find Kate inspirational and think she has great parenting skills. Jon is funny and a good Dad & husband. Their marriage and they way they interact with one another reminds me of the relationship between my husband and I. (I’m domineering & my husband is more passive). Saying that, I was shocked to hear about their break-up after 10yrs of marriage. I literally just finished watching the ‘For Better or Worse’ episodes p1 & 2 and cried all the way through them! I know that you guys can work this out and get back together. You love each other, you love you children and you have love for God, that is all you need (and probably a hell of a lot of patience too!).
    If I could talk to or get a response from Kate it would make make my day : )
    Love to you all

    don’t be fooled into believeing that Kate has her hands full, she has never had her hands full.. she has had help every day since those kids were born, volunteers, volunteers and more volunteers, donations, freebee’s… she has forgotten that and wants us to do the same.. she has nanny’s now… and chefs and housekeepers, gardeners… etc.. believe me, she isn’t doing this alone, never has… and when she was on ‘book tours’, It was Jon who was home with the kids… Kate prances around, over acts and creates complete drama more than anything else.. she lost her good friends, alienated her family, which means she alienated her kids from loving grandparents too.. that is a selfish act as a parent. Kate protrays herself to be older than Jon, yet that woman doesn’t know how to have fun, 2 years older than Jon doesn’t make her more mature or stable… Face it, Kate drove him away and she will do that to her kids in the end.. if she is being sweet and kind to them now, its because she has a custody battle to win and a divorce settlement to win… we have seen enough to know what she is really like… rude and greedy!
