What an amazing trip for this family!<br /><br />There will be memories, experiences and "awe" moments beyond belief for them!<br /><br />And sorry, but I don't believe this latest ROL crap that Jon went to court over this. This story only came out AFTER the hate sites were crawlin' all over Jon about letting the kids go.<br /><br />I think the "government worker" got real busy and fed this story to make Jon look like the valiant warrier fightin' the fight. <br /><br />The line in there about Jon and "government worker" not going along was hilarious! Oh, yes, of course, Kate wanted the difficult ex and the more difficult "government worker" to come along for the vacay! Geesh...think not!<br /><br />Instead, Jon should have issued a statement being thankful that his kids are getting such a wonderful trip and for once be happy for them.<br /><br />Now Jon can "party hard" on New Year's without any guilt. The liquor, smoke and friends of the "government worker" might have been a bit overwhelming for the kids to experience.firedup4katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638318609876684111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-80462961048974978972010-12-30T18:23:28.960-05:002010-12-30T18:23:28.960-05:00Jamie~ I wonder if TLC is getting some type of dea...Jamie~ I wonder if TLC is getting some type of deal taking the family now. Thats alot of seats between the kids and crew. I agree that a summer trip would have been perfect, but I'm assuming there is some reason why they went now.<br /><br />As far as Jon, I can't get why he would even be romotely upset. Yes he won't see his kids for New Years. But this is an amazing opportunity for this family. A trip of a lifetime. He should be thrilled his kids get to go to another country. He did not have any big plans with them, other than that being his scheduled weekend. Just my opinion, but I think Jon made a tiny stink to appease the haters that are asking why he would allow his kids to go. I don't get it. <br /><br />And Welcome, if I didn't say it already!The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-82629744325274385132010-12-30T18:07:56.838-05:002010-12-30T18:07:56.838-05:00Argh, those posts make me want to throw up. The hy...Argh, those posts make me want to throw up. The hypocrisy is ridiculous. If circumstances were reversed, Jon would be filming those kids everywhere. He would also be complaining that Kate would be trying to stop the filming, making the kids miss out on wonderful trips and worldly events. Kate would be the monster regardless.<br /><br />If Jon had settled down quicker and had stopped using silly shenanigans to try to get attention, he probably would be filming now. He shot himself in the foot with his own behaviour. I think if Jon had adjusted quicker, TLC would have jumped on the chance to follow both Kate and Jon as they adjust to the divorce and raise multiples.<br /><br />I don’t believe for a second that he is trying at all to get the kids off of television (not that they are on it very much anymore) and I think he is totally riding the sympathy train and enjoying the feeling of support from the haters. I feel sad that he is unable to let go of his hate and anger for Kate and move on with his life. Instead, he feeds off the venom of others because he hasn’t healed from the discontinuation of the relationship. <br /><br />Or maybe he should get a better lawyer, because he has every right to decline the children travelling abroad and if he is unaware of that right and is adamant that they shouldn’t be filmed, he needs better legal counsel. <br /><br />Yes, I now feel better.

After partying way to hard and getting so sick being in the cold no where near Times Square trying to get my husband home in time. I'm hoping to have a stress free New Years Eve this year! Still hoping my parents will come and babysit so my husband and I can have a nice time out ;)<br /><br />I wasn't going to repeat this crap, but it pisses me off to no end when stpid hate sites claim victory that Jon is fighting some huge fight to get his kids off TV and that he's Twittering all about it. I read all of Jon's Tweets and only 2 people even commented to him about it. He was sure quick to jump on those Tweets though. Keeping everything nice and cryptic so that 1. He still looks like the doting dad 2. Keeps the haters happy cause they live and breathe looking into his Tweets and 3. He doesn't get in trouble legally.....<br /><br />@jongosselin1 You are kidding me and they still went. Sorry to snark but I get so frustrated for you and feel for the kids. <br />@jongosselin1 that you would do something about keeping your kids off TV. Looks to me like they are off to Australia for more filming. <br /><br />@divadirector42 I did do something. But in the end, I did not have the final say. <br />about 22 hours ago via web in reply to divadirector42<br /><br />@jongosselin1 oh for fug's sake!

Much more time to travel then and no missing school.<br /><br />Linda, ROL, which is the site that I read above telling us they are in Australia. Also said that Jon went to court to try and get them to not go. <br /><br />One would have expected him to do so, as we know he is against filming....so why wouldn't he be against them traveling to film during school time. Plus, it was his weekend to have the children, so technically he had every right. I am not supportive of children missing school unless crucial.....but everyone is different. I was fortunate to travel a lot as a child, but my parents always did so over breaks and summer, which is how I think it should be done. <br /><br />I was always taught to have proof for my accusations. If you look at any gossip that ROL provides...Charlie Sheen...do you think he is providing all of the information?Reality Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17731629476904426263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-14404975216551139632010-12-30T15:06:24.620-05:002010-12-30T15:06:24.620-05:00tashapork - I know they'd previously planned a...tashapork - I know they'd previously planned as J&K to go to Korea, forgot if Australia was mentioned. I remember that the sticky wicket then was TLC wouldn't pay for J's mother or other family to go. It got canned for whatever reason.<br /><br />My parents travelled so much with us as kids and I treasure those memories! When you study the state or country in class it means so much more. JMO. My son just reminded me he has a classmate missing a month of school because the father had to travel to India and took whole family. The school arranged "live" connect sessions with classmates so they could see some of the sights, and ask questions. <br /><br />I never give up hope for Jon. I'm hoping his motivations are due to a "new vision" and not motivated by friends of the moment whispering in his ear. I was so sad last year when he took off to Utah for five months and even planned to buy a home there and saw kids only once in that time. Last Jan he gave the E! (? Don't remember which but it was network) interview about moving in new directions and looking forward to home in Utah. I was so sad. He has often reinvented his direction in life. I'm hoping this time it is for real and permanent.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-76686362963681329532010-12-30T14:50:22.155-05:002010-12-30T14:50:22.155-05:00Linda, I found the source for Jon going to court,i...Linda, I found the source for Jon going to court,its' ROL. I had the exact same question you did. They seem to be getting info straight from the mouth of Jon(or someone close to him) It seemed like Jon's biggest issue was that it messed up his new years plans, not was harmful to the kids. When he and Kate took the children for passports they did it with the intention of taking the kids out of the country for filming and I think Australia was mentioned at that time. <br />I also think they are going to stagger the trip since the flight is sooo long.tashaporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614153610713537018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-55267110863910684812010-12-30T14:44:21.289-05:002010-12-30T14:44:21.289-05:00Yeah, I read a "source" saying Jon had l...Yeah, I read a "source" saying Jon had looked forward to New years with the kids. I'm glad he turned over a new leaf. Last New Year's he was busy skiing in Utah with his then Love Christy and I guess that was more important. Makes me wonder if he really is sad, or didn't want to miss out on more "poor Me" publicity. I'm hoping it's a new leaf but previous priorities make it hard to believe.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-69987176528746899602010-12-30T14:34:35.405-05:002010-12-30T14:34:35.405-05:00Oops - interact live, not life!Oops - interact live, not life!LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-909413121711834802010-12-30T14:33:30.901-05:002010-12-30T14:33:30.901-05:00Kayla - My son is going to Brazil with People to P...Kayla - My son is going to Brazil with People to People next spring and will miss two weeks with school's blessing. Btw, ours don't go back until 2nd week in Jan so would only be missing 1 week if the Australia trip were here. We took all of ours to Europe two years ago, again with school's blessing in that they felt the trip was a great learning experience. Like my trip to FL last spring, kids missed 5 days but sent daily emails with summaries of places they'd visited of historical/geographical interest. Now, we'd just use "face time" on the iPhone and arrange a time to call where they could interact life.<br /><br />I think it's great, if they are going/have gone, that we've moved beyond learning only in classroom.<br /><br />Also, I'd bet that if they are filming, an approved tutor is traveling with them.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-26304787311336054482010-12-30T14:25:08.016-05:002010-12-30T14:25:08.016-05:00Hi Jamie.

There was even a youtube video mocking her for keeping the kids in bed until eight am and giving them a three hour nap. On the Mc Caughey special they said that as toddlers, the kids were in bed from 7pm to 8am plus a three to four hour nap so Kate wasn't alone with her sleep schedule and it sure doesn't look to have harmed any of the thirteen kids, rather it helped themtashaporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614153610713537018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-61480820347405139962010-12-30T11:07:27.865-05:002010-12-30T11:07:27.865-05:00GREAT for Kate+8 to be able to travel outside of t...GREAT for Kate+8 to be able to travel outside of the US, what an amazing opportunity. It does lead me to question Jon some though. If he is truly as "anti" filming as he claims then why did he agree to let them leave the country. I understand that he as a parent has to agree to them leaving the country, but if he dislikes them filiming so badly why let them go? If I was put in that position, I would not agree to it, I would make it as difficult as I could. Although he has no say when she takes the kids around the US for filming out of the country would be 1 time he could take a stance and put his foot down. Wonder what his motives are for that?BJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987913109005958451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-90047856560038107642010-12-30T09:27:57.657-05:002010-12-30T09:27:57.657-05:00Hey-Linda--It's working. :)Hey-Linda--It's working. :)Corrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975832153034035405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-17898871908513592382010-12-29T22:57:36.858-05:002010-12-29T22:57:36.858-05:00Good evening everyone!
