Not mu...I was rather disappointed in the interview. Not much there that we all have not heard many times. There was very little new.<br /><br />For the sake of the kids I hope both can work out their issues and put the kids first. It' not about them it's about the kids and what is best for them. I must say on that topic I do agree with Jon - the kids need a chance to be normal kids out of the spotlight. Am I the only one who remembers Jon wanting out during the last episode last season - even then he had enough. Kate was determined then and has not changed her mind. Kate seems terrified that she will not be able to take care of her children without a TV career - the rest of us do it every day. And nurses make more money than most of us - I come from a family of nurses and let me tell you it is nothing to sneeze at. Granted if you want a million $ house etc....... but lets face it the kids need a loving, stable home. The house itself will never be what makes them happy. While I have always found the show entertaining I am not even sure why they think TV is their future - a show about the kids is the only way it flies - which in my opinion is why Kate is trying so hard to hold onto it. Neither in their own right has enough to hold an audience. I do not dislike Kate but her interviews have not been earthshattering - once this is over and if there are no kids to be seen just how interesting will we find her. <br />I think the one thing most tend to forget is we really do not know these people - we see what they want us to see and we hear what they want us to hear and it's maybe only a tenth of the whole story. It takes 2 to make a divorce, just as it takes 2 to make a marriage - I am the divorced mom of 2 and I have to be honest- I have to take 50% of the blame - does not matter that he is the one who cheated - my actions played a part as well. And I can tell you from experience that if you want Kate to succeed you have to want Jon to as well - alimony, child support are all determined by income - present income- not what was made last year. And if they retain joint custody, which I hope they do for the sake of the kids who love them both so much, Kate could end up owing Jon child support once the numbers are plugged into the formula the courts use- child support in CT at least is very cut and dry - emotion plays no part - Mom makes $, Dad makes $ so each is respondsible for this amt. Who did what to contribute to the end of the marriage has nothing to do with it -mema to 3 boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906456925455590793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-43971201677684206432009-11-03T19:36:31.566-05:002009-11-03T19:36:31.566-05:00Schmecky- I read all the posts but your post about...Schmecky- I read all the posts but your post about the interview really aggravated me. Why do you analize and pick everything apart that Kate says?. Why don't you try doing that with the idiot Jon's interviews? He lies about everything, remember the money? He is a pap whore, been with several women, and let me mention it again, HE LIES. But, yet you still have this hazey perception. Everyone has and opinion and that is what is great about this site. However, you always seem to find the fault with Kate.

Every little thing is picked over, analyzed, tested, put through the strainer and whatever is left over is "truth". Really, no offense but you seem to find fault in every little thing. Do you do that to your hubby or best friends, even though surely they aren't perfect? Many times I have appreciated your insight on certain things but the pettiness, quite franky, is unnerving. Now, please let it be known, I'm not trying to start a problem. With all that said, I respect the fact that you have an opinion and I will still read it :)<br /><br />Kate is not perfect but I have not walked in her shoes. Such as:<br /><br />I may not have chosen to have fertility treatments but I have never struggled with infertility. <br /><br />I do not know what it's like to have twins, triplets, quads, tups, etc. But I do know what it's like to have lots of children and whether 1, 2, 6 or 8, mothers everywhere all have moments of imperfection and impatience.<br /><br />I have 4 children by birth and 2 step-children. No one would agree with ALL the choices I have made for them either. <br /><br />I choose, and believe the best choice, to raise my own children. But then, I do not have 8 children to solely provide for. If she can do part-time work, which is basically what she's doing, and still be there for her kids, she's doing a lot more than many other mom's are out there doing. I know women that work full-time, as in leaving the house at 6:00, dropping off their kids by 6:30, get off at 5:00, choose to do shopping because their kids can stay at daycare til 6:00, pick them up and then leave them at home with dad or a babysitter so they can do a social event. In my opinion, she's doing the best she can with the options she has.<br /><br />I'm going to step out on a limb here and suggest that to be a single mom, possibly without prospect of child support (thanks Jon), with 8 children would in most cases, even working making an average of $60,000 a year full-time, would put her a little above poverty level. She would have to hire out for nearly full-time care of the kids and not be able to spend much time at all with them. Now, if this were her only option, fine. It sounds like it could work. But if it's not? Why settle for less? Though I agree that it would probably be best to get the children out of the spotlight as much as possible, I really believe Kate can do something with her "celebrity" (I hate that word!) status. I hope that she will choose something that stands up for morals and values, though, and not some talk show. <br /><br />I rambled a bit and now have to go. Hope I made points that made sense... 8/Set in the Clefthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612767611881203757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-45325833938950122142009-11-03T15:50:23.372-05:002009-11-03T15:50:23.372-05:00Once again, Jon proves how little understanding of...Once again, Jon proves how little understanding of repentence he has.

I know you get antsy and uncomfortable but it's not hard work. I could use some bedrest myself now that I think about it.<br /><br />I just had to comment on this. Not meaning any disrespect, but apparently, you've never been pregnant with multiples. As a mother who had twins in her 25th week, bedrest is not as easy as you think. In some situations, as in mine, I couldn't even get up to use the bathroom, sit in a chair, only lay in bed 24 hours a day. Sure people "cater" to you, but don't you think it would get old not seeing the outside, having a decent nights sleep, or honestly a normal life or pregnancy. Unless you have been in this situation then you should not judge what someone says or down play their situation. Again, I do not mean to be rude but this just really rubbed me the wrong way.brookahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625845416598221416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-82084208314773857842009-11-03T15:41:09.549-05:002009-11-03T15:41:09.549-05:00Schmecky said…

After I read your post I went back and watched again. However, it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. <br /><br />We just "mega" disagree on our perspectives. The only comments I'm going to make in response are: 1)The camera angle determines whether the interviewee appears to be looking at the interviewer, etc.; 2) I was able to figure out that bodyguard Steve was there because part of this interview was to demonstrate what Kate experiences every time she goes outside in public. IMO thanks to the lunatic haters and paparazzi, I'd never go out in public without a bodyguard if I were she. <br />-----------------------------------------------<br /><br />Did anybody see the ET clip last night of the follow up interview with Mary Hart, Hailey, & Jon that aired last night - with Jon sitting 5 feet away from Hailey? I've done my best to track down HOW Jon ever connect with Rabbi Shmuley. At about 4 minutes into the interview, Jon said that his manager (Heller) put him in touch with Rabbi Shmuley.<br />http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/11/80363/<br /><br />Please, please Jon. Get yourself away from the destructive advice of the Hellers! If you go to the Talent Resources website you will note that "Mark Heller and Talent Resources have been doing media and event planning for 15 years." I thought, that seems fishy because the guy isn't in his 40's. What the heck? Ahhh...then I realized that they go on to cite that Heller planned his first event for teens when he was only 15 and that's how they come up with the "15 years of experience."<br /><br />I was almost rolling on the floor. Did you help planning your junior or senior prom or an area get-together for teens? Wow, if so, you can say you've got event planning and add in all the years from then to now. This guy is a joke and his advice is really questionable; again, just IMO.Linda "Original"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13379321670033802865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-4848639218001421482009-11-03T14:47:09.799-05:002009-11-03T14:47:09.799-05:00SchmeckyGirl~ Please, I think we may at some point...SchmeckyGirl~ Please, I think we may at some point have all let a sibling get in trouble for something we may have done..if thats not the case then that is great that at that age you werre such an honest person. I let my brothewr take the blame for tons of stuff.. The haters will be discussing this in 3..2..<br /><br />I think that people over analyze so much of what Kate says, and takes things way too out of context. An example of this would be when Kate said the kids miss the old Jon. I'm SURE they didn't say "wow we miss our old daddy." But Jon has changed quite a bit, been very distant when he's home (based on photos) and instead of playing with his kids is seen riding or doing other things. Again, I think that's what she meant. <br /><br />I don't know what people were waiting to hear, or what sort of revalation they were hoping to uncover. Bottom line, they really just wanted to give the fans a good IMO interview, along with some Top Moments like next week and call it a wrap. I really hope thnigs get resolved and that "Kate Plus 8" will actually happen.The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-31045861329532732022009-11-03T14:27:27.179-05:002009-11-03T14:27:27.179-05:00Although the SixGosselins website is registered to...Although the SixGosselins website is registered to Jon, did you know he didn't design it? Wouldn't you think the IT guy who just last week said in the NY street interview that he was "making some money from website design" would have designed their website? I do hope he's making some money somewhere from something other than interviews.<br /><br />I clicked on wrong bookmark and went there by mistake. That's when it dawned on me that Jon didn't design that website. Somehow, I had mistakenly just always assumed that Jon had done it.Linda "Original"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13379321670033802865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-26087161672166346522009-11-03T12:16:24.603-05:002009-11-03T12:16:24.603-05:00It was an interesting program.

She is growing in maturity and perspective, accepting responsibility for her past mistakes, not trying to blindly shift blame to others...but most of all, for trying to put her kids first.<br /><br />The pain. Oh my goodness, she's got to just get through one day at a time. I wish I could give her a hug. It will take a long time to trust again.<br /><br />My heart just hurts for her pain. One day she will get to the point where she can openly return to church. It has to hurt - to see Jon almost eagerly step away from even religious values that she thought she shared with him. For me, I couldn't return to church until six months after my divorce from my first husband was finalized. Even hearing certain hymns brought back memories so vivid that I would completely meltdown. I had to be strong for my children and my bursting into tears was just not good for them. We worshipped at home and eventually made our way back. <br /><br />I would hope that after seeing the interview that perhaps her minister would make the move to contact her. <br /><br />Regardless, the pain will get easier when court cases are resolved (both divorce and TLC). I can't imagine having to experience the limbo of waiting for a divorce, worrying about the future, and having paparazzi follow me 24/7 to report every hiccup and sneeze.<br /><br />On a lighter note, I had to chuckle at the reporting of her speeding ticket. Ten months of following her day and night and finally the paps got a "baddie" to report and this is all they could find? What?

Jon was an IT guy. They had one set of twins. They wanted "one more". They chanced having at least another set of twins by trying the same fertility treatment again. <br /><br />Kate said she didn't go into this show thinking it would be their income. She said that being a nurse and Jon doing IT work, they would have probably ended up divorced anyway. So what exactly were their plans? Just hoping for the best despite all the odds? Just hoping to come into money? How did they expect to support their family and still stay a family despite the odds?<br /><br />And now? Jon won't do reality tv no matter how well it pays. What's he going to do to support 8 children and himself? Hope for the best?<br /><br />And Kate? How is she going to support 8 children and herself? Seriously, I know she said she will work at McDonald's if she has to, but McDonald's will not support her and her children. She even said she can't be a nurse. What am I missing? How do they plan to support their children under the current circumstances?SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-53059154551507754462009-11-03T11:47:44.994-05:002009-11-03T11:47:44.994-05:00Good grief...

I was under the impression they weren't. I do remember on the show the one time they showed them going that one of the girls didn't even fit into her church shoes anymore. I was under the impression they hadn't gone regularly. <br /><br />Also, what kind of church does she go to that she would feel uncomfortable going there? Aren't most people that go to church together friendly towards one another? Don't they know each other? Would they really treat her like a bunch of fans would? I understand not wanting to go without your husband but it's been 11 months. That's a long time for a regular churchgoer to stop going to church. <br /><br />As for being famous, etc I know Michael Jackson went to church at the height of his popularity. He wasn't mobbed by fans while there. And he was a huge popstar at the time. You didn't get bigger than Michael Jackson. It can be done if your church and fellow churchgoers don't treat you like a celebrity, which they shouldn't.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-91399559161245971102009-11-03T10:52:21.832-05:002009-11-03T10:52:21.832-05:00I watched the show last night and thought it was j...I watched the show last night and thought it was just okay, if that. I found it lacking. <br /><br />I've never seen an interview where the interviewee barely looked at the interviewer when she is answering questions. That was odd. And why no tissues until almost the end? Her nose was running and she's wiping it with her hand! She always cries, you'd think they or she would be more prepared. <br /><br />I don't think I learned anything I didn't already know... except that Kate says she keeps in contact with her parents via email. <br /><br />I think Natalie dropped the ball a lot because she'd ask a question and Kate would give a basic answer and Natalie wouldn't ask a follow up question. Kate always answers questions cryptically. Like when she answered about her parents and why she cut them off after the sextuplets were born. Different opinions? Like what? I understand her not wanting to go into details, but then why do the interview? <br /><br />Than Natalie asked her what she would do to support her children, and she said anything. But what? What's anything? She already said she can't go back to nursing, so what are her options if showbiz doesn't work out? What are her plans? To hope it works out with TLC? That's not a plan.<br /><br />I know she said she's not proud of how she spoke to and treated Jon but then she excused it by saying she had too much on her plate. There is no excuse. Why didn't Natalie ask if she was sorry, if she apologized or plans to apologize to Jon?<br /><br />I do agree that Jon is the one that brought the paparazzi into their lives after four seasons. I think that's obvious. But now that they are there she needs to get her children out of the public eye. The whys and hows don't matter at this point.<br /><br />I'm sorry but I don't believe that her kids say they miss The Old Jon. I'm sure they miss their daddy but The Old Jon?<br /><br />I notice Kate said her little brother Kevin would always take the blame for her when she was bad. He took punishments for things she did. And she let him? Yikes. What's the age difference? I find it appalling that she actually let her little brother take the blame for things she did. And after he did that for her she cuts him out of her life.<br /><br />What goals changed? She never says. What were their goals together? What were her goals? What were Jon's goals? What changed? I thought their goal from the beginning was to stay together and Kate be a stay-at-home mom raising their 8 children. Seems to me like her goals changed. She decided she likes media work and didn't want to be just a stay-at-home mom. Not that you can't change your mind but that would mean your goals changed. <br /><br />She told Jon to get a part-time job? Maybe he felt one of them should be home with the children at all times. And one of them should. They have 8 children they decided to bring into this world. They deserve everything "on a golden platter" including their parents being home with them. I'm sure they'd prefer that rather than material possessions.<br /><br />She also didn't answer the question as to when their marriage ended and why. She glazed right over that. Again, she doesn't HAVE to tell if she doesn't want to but then why do an interview that makes it seem like you are going to open up about everything when you're not.<br /><br />The bedrest story is getting old. How hard is it to stay on bedrest? You're resting in a bed. People cater to your every need. I know you get antsy and uncomfortable but it's not hard work. I could use some bedrest myself now that I think about it.<br /><br />And Steve was there in the room while she gave the interview? Why did she need a bodyguard there in the room with her? Odd. Especially knowing that question might come up again. Just awkward. <br /><br />I'm very disappointed by the interview. I don't think there was anything new that we didn't already know. Thankfully someone told her not to mention her ring again.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-8051509164672803432009-11-03T10:32:29.738-05:002009-11-03T10:32:29.738-05:00Set in the Cleft,

A childrens ministry teacher could be with the kids to do a program of some kind.<br /><br />I can't imagine that several of her church membership are not already reaching out to her in notes and letters of encouragement. A truly God-filled church should be doing that.lucysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611079988227357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-33489794155829143812009-11-03T10:17:32.661-05:002009-11-03T10:17:32.661-05:00Seeing Kate being repentant in the interview and t...Seeing Kate being repentant in the interview and taking responsibility for what she knew to be wrong (and being specific about it), compared to Jon's hiding and shading of the truth is an example of a person of integrity and character. Makes me wonder how many of her haters out there could do the same. <br /><br />On another note, it is so sad to know that because of Jon, Jodi & Kevin's actions, people who she once was very close to who sold her out, that she will not be able to trust very many people for a very long time. How horribly sad and lonely for her. Now that she has lost a dear friend in Nana Janet, I hope and pray more (than her 6) good trustworthy people (esp. Christian ones) will come alongside her to be her pillars of prayer and strength.lucysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611079988227357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-71630019578959441952009-11-03T10:11:00.219-05:002009-11-03T10:11:00.219-05:00That was a great interview last night! I think tha...That was a great interview last night! I think that Kate really opened up, but she still didn't give TOO much away like she always does for her kids. One of the things that hit me was when she said something along the lines of: "When people who you swear would never ever cash you in do that, it makes it hard to trust." (Or something like that!) It is so very true in her situation. Just look at Kevin and Jodi. Kevin is her brother! Why would he ever do that to Kate? It just doesn't make any sense. And Jamie Ayers, and Steve- they got plastered all over the paparazzi rag mags because they are close to Kate and it makes them easy targets. If I were friends with Kate, I would be a little intimidated of the paps. I'd still want to have a friendship with her, of course, but it really is a little frightening to think of the things that the paparazzi can say about you. And you would have no control over the situation. I'm sure that I would be hesitant to trust as well, if I were Kate.<br /><br />I think that I'm going to take back the whole "divorced mom" thing! I was thinking more about it, and whoever commented on it- (I know there was a few) you're probably right! It would definitely an awkward position to be in, going around saying "I'm a divorced mom." I didn't really think about that when I posted it. This is one of my favorite things about this blog. We all having differing opinions! I think that it's safe to say that we should just drop the whole thing. It doesn't really matter whether or not Kate calls herself a single mom! ;o)<br /><br />Have a nice day ladies!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332377124881260169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-31092808883821630752009-11-03T09:51:47.649-05:002009-11-03T09:51:47.649-05:00Leslie, the quote from the church was not from MY ...Leslie, the quote from the church was not from MY church.

It will take time, church is very personal and intimate for a family. The memory of that connection is still very raw. I know when my husband was in Iraq it took me a LONG time to go, and the first time I did the only thing I did was sit there and cry because he wasnt there holding my hand, it was something we always shared and it hard to sit there alone. So I totally understood when Kate explained that, I knew exactly what she meant. To judge her faith just because she doesnt attend every Sunday I think is unfair. Having God in your heart is something personal not because you go to church.KatherineDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200621659361538875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-11268576390975409662009-11-03T09:17:33.043-05:002009-11-03T09:17:33.043-05:00I don't see Kate's decision about church t...I don't see Kate's decision about church to be all about her. Most parents make decisions for their family/children based on everybody's needs. If she doesn't feel ready, for whatever reason, then it likely wouldn't be a positive experience for the children or for her. Anything that they did as a family of 10 may be just as difficult for the children as for her. And I totally agree with tashapork about the fact that not going into the church building doesn't mean you are not a faithful person.allibrootobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518437335148812025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-88876756722804531472009-11-03T09:07:46.882-05:002009-11-03T09:07:46.882-05:00No offense taken, Leslie.

I think fame and money changed her. I liked the old her better - except for the rudeness to Jon. <br /><br />I think there is a difference between discernment and judgment.<br /><br />The interview did not sit well with me at all - as BM will know from my late-night post! LOL.<br /><br />I am a fan of neither of the parents anymore. I like the kids and hate that they are bearing this publicly.LifeinOHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145004097955590584noreply@blogger.com
