It is really hard to judge at times how things really were because I really feel that TLC showed us what they wanted to show us and I think that over time, a lot of relationships change, especially if there is stress. I know that mine has. I think that it very easy for people to criticize her behavior, but I think that no one can really say anything about Kate until you walk in her shoes. Did she change after they got comfortable? Probably, but so did he and IMO his transformation has become radical and drastic. There is so much more to the story than what we read and see in pictures.NJMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634517569978900392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-28960349782444435882009-07-16T11:32:34.704-04:002009-07-16T11:32:34.704-04:00Oh boy, where do I start?
I'm a firm believe...Oh boy, where do I start? <br /><br />I'm a firm believer in the old adage "there are two sides to every story". Since we as viewers are only given edited glimpses into their lives, we can only speculate on what really happens behind closed doors. <br /><br />Having said that, what I have seen leads me to believe that Kate goes way beyond being simply a "strong woman". While you may not think she has been verbally abusive, I would beg to differ. Being a strong women doesn't mean you need to belittle your loved ones. Jon is no saint by any means, but he seemed to take the high road more often than not and simply bit his tongue when she went on a rant. Some of the episodes were actually difficult for me to watch because I felt so embarrassed for him.<br /><br />Jon has made it pretty clear that he was not happy with their situation and wanted to work again outside the home. However, since Kate was perfectly happy with HER situation, traveling, promoting the book, filming, etc., I don't think she was really able to appreciate the extent of his unhappiness. I'm not making excuses for his decisions, but I think everyone reaches their limit and he reached his. Do I think he went overboard trying to recapture his "lost youth"? Absolutely.<br /><br />We really don't know when their marriage ended. Sure they had the vow renewal show but there's always the possibility TLC did it for ratings and nothing more. If they've been living apart for so long as some sources are saying, then maybe he felt he waited long enough before finding companionship with someone else. It's just horribly unfortunate that of all the women in the world, he had to choose the Glassman's daughter! That had to be a knife in Kate's heart so maybe it was intentional.<br /><br />I've always loved the show and I adore the kids, but honestly it's too uncomfortable to watch now. With all this new drama I think they need to work everything out in private before resuming the show. IMHO.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726226439024831960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-36219976856757865072009-07-16T06:40:26.293-04:002009-07-16T06:40:26.293-04:00I am wondering if Christian Audigier just planned ...I am wondering if Christian Audigier just planned to use Jon for great cheap advertising for his clothes (cost of trip for Jon and Hailey) - never intended a business relationship with Jon.

First let me say that I've been...Dear BabyMama,<br />First let me say that I've been following your blog for a while and it is absolutely the best, and the fairest. I have not commented before, but I can't sit back any longer.<br />Jon's behaviour as of late is questionable at the very least, and downright disturbing at worst. Makes me wonder how he can call this "putting the children first?"<br />It's obvious that he's done with TLC and the show, and I'll bet that what it comes down to is control...he wanted control over some of the money that was coming in. When Kate said "No" (and rightly so, as her goal is providing for and protecting her family first...BTW does anyone out there realize how much it costs to just buy groceries, clothes, a decent home in a good neighbourhood, and provide one or two extra-curricular activities i.e. sports, arts, etc for children these days, for ONE child let alone EIGHT??!!) <br />Back to my point, it's obvious that she was against Jon using the "family" income to do his own thing (call it business or vacation, your choice). He had a hissy fit, felt that he had to "stand up for himself" and then started this rapid decent into adolescent rebellious behaviour. Seriously, if you knew that the paps are outside your front yard, why would you let your "friends" sunbathe there in the first place? It's clear that he wants out...and will stop at nothing to destroy what Kate has worked so hard to build. He is a selfish, immature, boy...he should be ashamed of himself. What will his 8 beautiful kids think? How can he justify, abandoning his family? Be strong Kate! You will always come out "on top" because you took the high road, and did not abandon your responsibilities to the priority in your life...your kids.Mom of Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856551941741706357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-60015477430635287242009-07-15T10:17:46.767-04:002009-07-15T10:17:46.767-04:00Lets hope this article is not true- http://justjar...Lets hope this article is not true- http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/07/15/jon-gosselin-engaged-again/#more-382331<br /><br /> I have to admit though, nothing would really surprise me right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-51621390166766200382009-07-15T09:58:08.546-04:002009-07-15T09:58:08.546-04:00Jon Gosselin: I Am a Regular Guy Who Wants to Move...Jon Gosselin: I Am a Regular Guy Who Wants to Move Forward<br />http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/CelebrityCafe/story?id=8082889&page=1Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230862196717289746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-41369402125653322742009-07-15T07:21:15.629-04:002009-07-15T07:21:15.629-04:00Jon doesn't seem to have a problem with the me...Jon doesn't seem to have a problem with the media attention now that he thinks he's hot sh*t...<br /><br />http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=28d1f8e1-c124-4a13-94a9-92a084e0343dUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525778722054321163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-60168849134391699972009-07-15T00:43:42.136-04:002009-07-15T00:43:42.136-04:00I haven't checked this blog for about 2 weeks ...I haven't checked this blog for about 2 weeks and I can't believe Jon is doing all this crap!

Kate got Jon that IT job, he does not have any formal training or education, as far as I know. Jon rode the Kate gravy train as she secured her family's future and when he figured that they finally had made enough money, the light bulb went off in his head and he woke up and realized, WA! WA!"I'm only 32" and he jumped ship. He is so proud that he is finally putting his foot down as he sought his independence from his so called "Over Bearing" wife that ruled the roost and well we can all see, based on all the great decisions that he has made over the past few months, where that has gotten him. Even the most die hard Jon fans can not support him on his latest escapade. <br /><br />And I have not been critical, like many others have been, over the clothes, the smoking, the organic vs. non-organic, cars, white plastic lawn chairs, hairstyles, diamond earrings, etc... I have been critical over things that matter: Values, Morals, Commitments, Parenting, Honesty, Character... <br /><br />The show was definitely edited and manipulated by TLC to portray these parents in a certain way. I don't care if Jon smokes, but they never showed Jon smoking. TLC decided on what we would see and not see. Even though Kate constantly said on air that she was grateful for all that they had been given, they did not portray her as being gracious. And of course having her brother and sister-in-law sell her out, did not help. I wonder how they feel now and do they hold themselves responsible for some of the fall out as I feel Jon played them like a deck of cards trying to deflect the cheating blame off of himself and trying to justify his low-life behavior.<br /><br />And in the end, I do not believe everything I read, I believe what I see. And believe me the world has seen more than enough of this sad excuse of a husband and father.NJMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634517569978900392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-8325422789714479442009-07-14T21:25:28.400-04:002009-07-14T21:25:28.400-04:00In the beginning of Jon & Kate, Jon sniped bac...In the beginning of Jon & Kate, Jon sniped back at her when she said things, and he also said some not so nice things himself.<br /><br />Remember "jowls of a dog", "you can take a papercutter to it", "i only like blondes"? <br /><br />I think he is just better at holding his tongue in front of the camera than Kate is.

Jon was a big boy and could handle himself if he needed to. Kate has a very strong personality like a lot of us do, and sometimes CAN come across as snippy or mean. But we all at times could if we all analyzed each other. She was the strong personality and several relationships I know are like that. The husbands or wives are not "verbally abused". It is as the relationship is and it works for them. In my family, it works for me too. That does not mean the my husband is a pushover or lets me walk all over him.<br /><br />I just think that since the family has been on TV people think they could analyze this couple to death. If Jon was unhappy about it he needed to express it. Maybe he never did. And just like Cara it "all comes out in this big blog of a mess of events from the past month". Remember when Kate said that? (Or something like that).<br /><br />"He may think he's the head (of the house), but the woman is the neck that turns the head".~My Big Fat Greek WeddingThe Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-61580259427821586942009-07-14T20:30:45.903-04:002009-07-14T20:30:45.903-04:00I think someone out there is trying to keep Jon &a...I think someone out there is trying to keep Jon & Kate's name in the media, to keep up the ratings. The last episode only had 2 million viewers, so they lost more than half. Jon & Kate like money and having nice things, so if there are no viewers, then no show, and no show, no money. I mean if you think about, when Farrah and Michael died, that is all the media talked about. Jon & Kate weren't on anybody's radar, until now.<br /><br />I recently bought season 1 & 2 on DVD, and Kate was awful to Jon, I almost forgot how bad she was. In my eyes, Kate verbally abused him, and that can affect someone for a very long time. No wonder he going all out in his newfound freedom. But I do believe that Jon truly loves his kids and would do anything for them.

No family is better off than when both parents are together and each brings their own strengths to the child rearing process. Yes, Jon has been loving and kind to the children much of the time. But, I believe Kate has also been loving. She may not be as demonstrative but she loves those children fiercely (I believe). The difference to me lies in the area of financial support and responsibility. Jon is proving to me to be the uneducated, unmotivated, immature person I always thought him to be.allibrootobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518437335148812025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-15523477930910211282009-07-14T18:03:31.621-04:002009-07-14T18:03:31.621-04:00File this under #4 & #5 OF MINE WAS CORRECT (s...File this under #4 & #5 OF MINE WAS CORRECT (see my above post)<br /><br />"Christian Audigier’s rep says Jon Gosselin told her he was bringing his stylist to visit the Ed Hardy designer in St. Tropez, but instead showed up with Hailey Glassman, the 23-year-old daughter of Kate Gosselin’s tummy-tuck surgeon.<br /><br />“[Jon] had told me was he was going out there with his stylist,” Audigier’s rep, who declined to be named, told TVGuide.com. “We said we could accommodate her going out there as long as she’s bringing his biker wardrobe or something relevant — motorcycles being the key the factor in all of this.”<br /><br />Gosselin went to the French Riviera to meet with Audigier about his new vintage-inspired motorcycle line and to discuss a potential reality show about bikes, the rep said.

Jon probably wondered the same thing, and maybe saw the two of them acting too friendly towards each other. As for spending his kids money for this trip, what I read in articles is that it was paid for by the designer. This trip was for the kids, so he could make money off the clothes. This is no different than Kate going on vacation for her book. I saw pictures of her bodyguard holding her arm closely with no crowds around, while she was on vacation promoting her book. Where was the rage then?? We even read Kate took off for the weekend while Jon stayed at the house last week. What was she doing the entire weekend? I don't smoke, but Jon has been smoking since high school, and now all of a sudden since you see pictures of it you are outraged. Most likely he was smoking the entire series, it was just never filmed, and the paparazzi were not around to capture it.</i><br /><br />Nick Name...thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for saying pretty much what I've been thinking since this France story broke.
