Sorry, Jon: TLC Is All About Kate

Jon will realize that he is not playing with easy targets here, TLC is not messing around with Jon and his childish ways.Jon is hateful and spiteful and will do and say whatever he wants to get his way.He was no poor innocent quiet man Ever!Watch the old shows he was always moody and complaining about everything from changing diapers to getting the van ready for a trip and he usually yelled at Kate about it.This whole thing is going to bite him in the butt and i hope he learns not to turn on your family as he did because Kate and those kids were his family.

I am on Kate's side! Jon is such a complaining, whining baby! Honestly! And his moping......it's like we need to feel sorry for him...because he has to come home from his "new york love nest with some 16 year old" to play lame Daddy for a weekend. I can tell you now, that I have always watched the show and now that he gets to have these individual episodes to do his "thing" with the kids...I just change the channel. WHO cares. yuck. He gives me the creeps! At least his children won't see their mother on the front of a magazine dressed up and trying to be someone she is not and with some strang man. He just was not in it for the long haul. He had kids too young maybe, and obviously did not need them to tie him down once he realized there is a bigger world out there? Didn't he take care of all this immature behavior in college? He is trying to stop the show only because he realizes he's out and that's basically supporting his useless lifestyle. He's a cling-on, a found-ya, a twit! GO KATE GO!

Kate is a bitch, Jon could not take it anymore. End of story. You go Jon.

Kate has terrible mothering skills...having eight kids doesn't make you supermom.
In about 2 months no one is going to be interested in either one of them. We all watched the train wreck in horror and awe and moved on.
Any show they are in will be a failure. They are boring.

You people should definetly practice what you preach! While everyone makes good points, y'all should really quit feeding into the hype and mind your own buiseness. Your mad cause shes famous when the truth is y'all taking the time to write your little opinion is what makes them so famous. If you had the oppurtunity Kate has, you know dang well you wouldn't turn them down. John could have stood up for his self and he also could have helped her with the kids , instead of playing more then the kids do. Either way an adulterer is never justified!

This program started out very good and fun to watch. After awhile, Kate became such a witch and Jon such a wimp and the kids were caught in the middle. I feel Kate has now caught the "fame" wagon and is going to ride it as long as she can. Unfortunately, this show is not reality of a single mother of 8. How many working single mothers do any of you know that makes basically $75,000 a week, lives in a $1 million plus home and has all of the perks that she, Jon and her children have. What kind of a message is this sending to these 8 children - that this is real life and I will always have all of these things. I think they should pull the plug and try to regain control of their children before they become complete brats.

It is refreshing to see another reality show "88 and Counting" where this family lives to help others and does not appear to suck the life out of every opportunity they have. I realize they have a lot of children and this is unusual in today's society, but they all appear to be well grounded and believe in the Golden Rule and are raising all of their children with a good value system, unlike Jon and Kate.

WHO CARES

"Thank you this says it best!

allison korn Says
maybe we should all mind our own business and not judge someone unless you have walked in their shoes, do those children look unhappy????????"

We need to stop being judgemental and worry about our own lives. Are we so perfect that we can tell the Gosselins what's wrong with their lives. NO!

While it is true that Kate belittled Jon, it was really his own doing. He acted like more of a child than his children did. He sure didn't mind using his children to make money when he was reaping the benefits, but now he has left to W____ around he doesn't want Kate to make any money either. Maybe she was a little bossy but she had to be because he was so immature. She is a very caring mother and is trying to do what is best for her children while Jon doesn't seem to care if she can afford to take care of them or not. Let him go back to his sluts and leave Kate alone.

Jon wasn't complaining about the exposure to his children when he was reaping the benefits of all the perks and money. He put up with the 'Abuse' he received from Kate all of these years, but as soon as he was caught being unfaithful, he had to blame it on....Kate. He couldn't just step up and be a man admitting to HIS MISTAKE. When you're a Christian you don't go out and screw someone else everytime your wife yells at you or degrades you, you talk to her about it.... maybe even seek marriage counseling. The Bible allows for divorce in the case of infidelity..(once a cheater always a cheater) Go Kate Go!!! He doesn't deserve you!!!!

It really surprises me that this couple, who claims to be Christians, raised in the church - would go so far as putting themselves first before God and not seeking His will for their lives. The love of money is the root of all evil and I do believe the money has a great deal to do with this broken family. Too bad they can't put first things first - and that is putting God at the head of their home. I believe Jon has been a victim with Kate criticizing everything he ever does. Who can stand that going on all the time. Jon has been very foolish in the way he has acted - and I don't blame him for wanting a closer relationship with Kate. Wake up you guys -- put things in perspective. You are both good people, but you are screwed up in your thinking. Putting your family together is the most important thing. Forgive each other and get on with your lives as a family, as it should be.

Reading some of your comments i am unclear if you would know how much stress there would be to raise 8 kids and a husband who wants to play as much as they do. Someone has to be the parent,bread winner and cook and clean. I don't feel she was hard on him it was the only way to get him to take part in what needed to be done. All we have heard is how he is only 23 and has to do things for his family. She is only 24!
You know he would not be able to suport this family at what he made and had a easy way out of trying to do so. So now we will just have to say 23 and really stupid.

I must say now that they have split I have not watched the show much. I got the feeling that Jon wanted to be just a normal family and Kate was wanting it to continue for the money aspect of it. As I watched I saw them with 8 kids do to more than I could do with 4 kids. As a mother of 4 working a full time job I am still under poverty level and them with 8 kids are affording everything that I could not afford. And as I see Kate and her money grubbing and Jon wanting to be normal and obscure I have not watched the show.

My heart goes out to each of them. Put GOD first! With him all things are possible. It's hard to judge who's right or wrong in this situation it takes two no matter how you look at it. Everyone has their own opinions but are you actually living there under their roof? Let's not throw the stones.Words hurt .Amazing how you all can have a opinion. How can one say who's right or wrong. Praying for you both and trusting you both will be mature responsible. And don't forget you BOTH have 8 beautiful childern looking up to you!

My heart breaks for this family. They have problems every since the start of the show. I have watched them season after season in hopes that Kate would show respect for her husband! I do think that she is a wonderful mother, but I feel Jon is a wonderful father. But they both say God is the center of their marriage, NO NO NO he's not. They need to learn to read the bible! She has taken all of his man hood away by putting him down with every little thing he has done, even breathing! Any man that is willing to step up to the plate and try his harrdest to take care of his children and do right by them needs to be told daily how thankful the family is to him. The bible says to build your partner up! Love is a verb! That is one thing Kate has failed her children on. My only hope is both have learned fom this and can only better themselves from this!

These two people grew apart. It really doesn't matter why or how. Their focus should be on what is best for the kids. It is hard enough to raise kids today on the wages people are expected to live on, so if she can make a great wage by doing a tv show so be it! I think Kate has seen the damage she has done to her husband but does he see the damage his name calling and nonsense talk has done? He is out there complaining about poor Jon and how terrible his life is. REALLY?! His life is so terrible that most people would trade in a heartbeat. The money, fame and whatever else they have gotten should not be complained about. I commend Kate for not doing the name calling. She is going on with the show, so what! If you could make that kind of money for your kids wouldn't you do it to? I hope it all turns out well for everyone involved for their family. Also, if you had that many kids you would need all the help you could get too. She is still the one that lives with all the decisions that are made in the end not the people that help her!

What is needed in the lives of both these parents is a return to their faith in Jesus Christ so they can train their children in the way they need to go. There is still redemption for Jon even after all he has done and I hope his next move is to get on his knees.

As a mother and wife, I think it is horrible the way Kate treated John. She is making herself out to be so self rightous, like she had nothing to do with his behavior. My opinion she drove him to it. Her new name should be "Fake Kate" I was a true fan of Paula Deen but what is she thinking teaming up with Kate!

I have been watching since the begining of this show, fell in love with the kids, and marveled at Jon's patience and Kate's organization. But I cringed at her criticisms of Jon and the critical spirit she has allowed to overshadow everything that Jon did. She took away his manhood by devaluing his contributions to the family.
I've really been saddened by the divorce and bowled over by Jon's subsequent actions. Now, at least Kate is continuing to be a good mother, has been humbled, and seems to be less of a perfectionist. I hope Jon will clean up his act for the children's sake. Also,hope they will again bring God back into their lives. He seems to have been left out...

Kate ~ stay strong for your children and move on without Jon. He has proven over and over again for the last two years that is more the baby then your beautiful little ones. His change was not sudden but over several years he reqressed. Don't blame Kate for how she treats him. After his childish behavior that is the only way she could get him going as an adult, male, father. Grow up Jon, fast!!! Your children will see you for what you are - a real looser.

Why when a women succeeds at supporting a family that could/would be a tax payers problem--they get bashed. Ding'd
if she does and ding'd if she didn't. Go Kate!!!

I think Kate has always treated Jon badly. If a every breath and move a person makes is criticized, every thought be-littled by a control freak, then who knows what that person may do when he finally is free.
I hope Jon finds himself.
As for Kate, I think the show should be re-named "kate Pretends.

She isn't guiding him in his decision's..Those are his and his alone....He has 8 children that will someday read those stories of him and all the women he has fooled around with..When you live in the public eye you need to be more careful on what you do!!!!...NOW he may want Kate back??? I say Give him the heave ho!!!..She doesn't need him....

She IS NOT a single mother raising her children. She is hardly ever home and when she is she has a "troupe" of people helping her. She gives true hard working single mothers a bad name...plus there is a father in the picture..

I think he finally realized--hey, maybe I shouldn't have been fooling around. And he realized he'll be losing all those perks he used to get. Can't imagine where he could possibly go from here. He virtually burned his bridges and now no one wants him.

maybe we should all mind our own business and not judge someone unless you have walked in their shoes, do those children look unhappy????????

I agree with Kate......aliens have stolen Jon's brain. Or maybe he has a brain tumor or some sort of undiagnosed medical condition. His behavior is so diametrically opposed to his first years of the TV show. I see him succumbing to alchoholism and wasting his life. He has thrown away his family and his faith. What have his family, his pastor, his employer, and his friends done to save him from himself?

SHe is sucking every last drop of blood she can get to make money off her children.
