   She’s angry because he said “nose poke”? What did he ever see in her? Seriously. I’m surprised she didn’t blow up when he was talking about poop.

   These people anger me. How in the HELL do they afford this house? They are making a fortune off their kids, and she’s not even nice to them.

   Hey I think all of you haters would be a little cranky too if you had 8 kids. She does treat John like one of the kids though. You have to give her credit for handling everything she does.

   All of the haters need to shut up. I really wanna see all of YOU have 8 kids and manage all of them. She does an amazing job. And what does it matter how they can afford it? I think you need to stop worrying about them, and work harder so you can afford a house like that of your own

   While all of us would love a house like this–having all the kids would make any mom stressed. Please stop hating and do what we all need to start doing and feeling good for those who have a home and need it!! God Bless you Jon and Kate, you deserve this. Through the endless nights, colds, fighting–go for it and leave the haters behind

   I think Jon & Kate do a good job with their children. I love them. Iwould like to know if they moved to North Carolina because thats where I’m from. I think people need to leave them alone and let them live the way they want to.

    I don’t ever see Kate really affectionate or being loving to her husband or her children. She has no tenderness.

    “All mine, all mine….as far as I can see” I really do like this show but come on what about your kids they are yours too and deserve attention. I think Kate likes to look busy so everyone else can do the work. Who asks an 8 year old girl to wipe her 4 year old brother because he didnt yell out when you asked him too. If you can afford that house toss the fridge and buy a new one.

    I think Jon and Kate have done a wonderful job raising their kids. There are always going to be people who have something negative to say and most of the time that is out of jealously. God gave them these children and has given them a way to provide for them. Let them alone. If you don’t like the show don’t watch and why be so consumed with what they are doing and where they move.

    No,from what I could find I believe their house is still in PA. I really got attached to this show and even go to meet Kate a couple months ago and hear her speak. I also got her to sign her book. However, I’m just getting mixed signals. I know from what she talked about they are Christians and Christian or not you can be blessed. But I also think a 1.3 mill house in these economic times is alot. I hope for them in the future it goes well and they can keep it. I’m still a fan but just have some reserves with how the whole “success” may be going to their head and their attitude. I still wish them the best and will continue to watch.

    Well what do you think they have to do to get money? Put the kids on tv! Kate has to stay home and do all the stuff there, so I’m sure Jon doesn’t make all the money, so somehow they had to find a way to get money. And why do you even care? It’s not your kids! But I have to admit that she treats Jon like a dog!

    please if you don’t love the show don’t ruin it for those of us who do. they deserve the house, the kids needed the space to grow and enjoy. kate and jon get a little privacy which is great. this is an opportunity that won’t last forever and we are absolutly in love with these little tykes. it feels good to enjoy them like we do and i have cleaned a fridge with a q-tip also. they are great for many many crut cleaning jobs.

    I have finally figured it out - TLC is editing all the film they take and they are the ones making Kate look like a bitch. Why do they only show her being nasty and catty to Jon and yelling at her children? Surely she’s nice SOMETIMES! Hey, TLC, I would enjoy it much more if she could be shown as a loving mom having fun with her children - and husband!

    The trip through the woods on tonight’s show could have been fun for the kids if Jon had made it that way. Snatching the stick from one of the girls and snapping it over his knee was heartbreaking.

    This woman is never saving. Her kids got them this house. Like she needs a pool and all the added luxuries of a billion plus home. Had she really wanted to save money, why not cut the fancy Hawaiian wedding vow re-newal out. That probally could have been one college education paid for, or a cheaper place. But somehow they feel the kids NEED this extra acreage. Just like a swimming pool.
    And then everyone screams, great parenting. How you figure? I never left my kids dirty no matter what! Sure never asked their brother or sister to do it for me. She was more worried about a dirty frig than her own child. Give me a break on the they raise those kids so wonderful. I can’t wait till they don’t draw the kids money anymore and they really do have to spend THEIR money. Right now they spending yours. Send more to her so she can get everything else given to her free. She’s about due for another make over, ain’t she.
    And what happened to the only healthy, organic foods. PIZZA! Thought she COOKED all their meals. HUMMMMMMM

    I am from wernersville , pa and i do agree it is vile and disgusting i am personally ticked off and upset i am from pa and from wernersville born and rised there. This herd of family moves in and takes over the mayor of out town gives them the key to the town my foot that is bogus.

    We are know in this town for the mental hospital called the wernersville state hospital and for the caron foundation for the drug addicts and for golfing because of Galen hall golf course.
    The gosslings need to move back to wyomissing pa.

    let her make neighborly friends there we do not need them here in wernersville pa . we lived here all our lives they moved in they can move out.

    Tlc got them that house in wernersville pa because of the school district i got news for you conrad weiser school district is crammed so as it is. As for out sleepy little town of 2,100 it reminds quiet we do not need the media trampling threw stirring things up.

    I think they need to get off the free ride of life and pay their dues like the rest of us in the world.

    let them struggle like everyone else in the world like all of us who have kids. get a grip time to move on people.

    if they want a decent home move back to the rizy high priced houses of wyomissing pa get out of out town. this town is quiet for a reaso not to have leeching leaches like the gossalings there.

    it must be nice to get the key to the town and to get free clothes and tummy tuck.

    free cars and vans to lug their gang around did i say agin the free clothes they shop at the ritziest shops in berks county tlc pays for free clothes for them and the kids.

    free food and now free house what the heck i want to live like them high off the hog and free off the land.

    I am a working stiff i work for a living us working people do not get the free perks like these people do woweeeeeeeee for them, what about us we want a fat irs check like they get for having 8 kids and being on tv.

    I rather see tlc put on more shows on octuplets then these free loading goons.

    This is only my opinion; but to say to a child you do not walk into my bedroom; just knock and wait at the door frame; is cold and uncaring; what if the child is truly hurt and they are standing there to wait to be helped; To me this is teaching the child; if mom and dad are in there room they are not approachable; this is not a business where the parents are the employer and you have to wait to enter; this is there mom & dad. This is just wrong; and I have 4kids a full time job outside of the home; I would never think of telling my family that they will get severe punishment for entering my bedroom; and what do they can by severe punishment? A threat is a threat; just wrong.

    I’m am thinking that someone else lived in that house before them, and to be on national TV and just keep repeating that the house is filthy was just not necessary. I surely hope that the house had been empty for a long time, and maybe the realtors needed to clean in up. If I moved out of that house, and had to listen to her ranting about the filth I would be appalled. By watching the clips it didn’t look like it was that dirty, Well we couldn’t see the mold on the clips therefore it came across as OCD. Maybe it really was, but it was really not necessary for her to bash like that. I love watching the show, and I think what better way to document the kids lives than by tv, and being able to go back and see them growing up. How could you honestly document it yourself? That would be a full time job in itself. I like that they have rules in the house. I think they seem very normal. As far as using the kids, well you need to look at it as the kids are paying for their own education. That’s nice. I do however think Kate is a little to high on the horse sometimes. I like how John just laughs at her when she is being not so nice to him. Thats normally what husbands do. I think Kate is just like every other mother at times, but sometimes she needs to just bite her tough. I am looking forward to seeing the kids grow up. I think they will be normal kids because John and Kate seem pretty normal. Best of Luck to the family and I hope they enjoy their new house. They provide entertainment much the same as a guy who plays basketball, or football, or who acts in a movie. It really is no different. They all have big fancy houses too. I like the fact that they don’t try to paint a perfect family picture. No family is perfect. God Bless.

    I am shocked that Kate let her children sit in their own mess as a punishment for not calling back to her. Had she considered the possibility that if she couldn’t hear her childern, they may not have been able to hear her. I think DCF should be on the look out for those kids. I wonder if the parents ever worry about what their children will think when they grow up and see first hand what a crazy mother Kate is? I would not continue a relationship with her.

    First of all, the viewers that are judging this couple for having a bigger house to provide for their children need to just shut their mouths. There are 10 people living in a fish bowl and now that they have the opportunity to have a bigger house that not only the parents will be proud of but the children will be proud as well. The people that have nasty comments to say about their larger house, Hawaiian vacation who do you think you are to judge these people? You haven’t lived a day in their lives with these 8 children. Who wouldn’t want to provide the best you could for your children and stay at home to raise them rather than leaving them to a stranger because you all think that is the right thing to do. Who are you to say she is right or wrong. Perhaps you might need to look at your children and ask yourself what if I stayed at home and took care of my children rather than jumping through the hoops you thought society said you should. And what if your only option to have children was invitro and you ended up with 6 babies in one delivery. Or maybe you would have taken the EASY way out and terminated some of your viable fetuses. Well, perhaps it might have been easier to kill some of their babies then they wouldn’t have to put up with judgmental know-it-alls who know everything. Yet somehow even with all of the judgement that you perfect people are so readily willing to dole out. These parents would have still chosen to give life to these 8 beautiful children. How can you say that Kate is crazy, have you had to deal with 8 children day in and day out and the responsibility that goes along with these 8 beautiful children? To say that these parents are making money off of their children shows nothing but ignorance, EIGHT children, anyone that even lets those words fall from their lips can’t have children. These children are happy well adjusted children from what I see. I have 5 children and I know all they want is for Mommy and Daddy to be with them every day and night. Perhaps it is jealousy that leads people to give negative comments about this very busy beautiful family. So they live in a bigger house, what about college for these 8 children. The people that leave the ugly comments about the bigger house and the comment s about making money off of their children obviously must not have children of their own. If you know anything about their story, then you would know that having children was a struggle for them. Having 6 children at one time wasn’t exactly their first choice. I am glad however to see that there are perfect people in this world…. I mean the people that leave these comments …..they are perfect right…or perhaps it isn’t that at all…. they have no life of their own and theirs are falling down around them so they throw stones at the personalities on TV …I mean that is the real world after all and that will solve all their problems…or maybe I have it all wrong… they have no problems…..Naa somehow I reallllly doubt that I think no life that is probably more like it. Get a life.
    OMG Kristy I just finished reading your comment. I feel sorry for your children if you have any with such a bitter attitude. Do you know these people personally? Do you know how they got their house? Do you own the town? I hope your neighbors don’t have the same hateful attitude as you. If you do have children I feel sorry for them if this is what they look forward to on a daily basis, it must really be a sad house with all the bitterness you spit out. What ever happen to love thy neighbor? Really? I didn’t know people like you really existed, sounds like someone is wayyyy jealous. Perhaps you might want to get to know these people before you throw around such harsh remarks. So your town is known for the mental hospital?

    Molly,
    Realy do you think that in one hour you really see what goes on in a days time? How do you know what they spend their money on or how much money they save! Wow do you have a life at all? What’s wrong with a pool? Kate is a RN and she has written a book as well. What do you do besides watch tv?

    It might just be me, but it seems as if Kate is trying to be like her old friend, was it Beth? The rich girl with the big house? The one that she apparantly envied so much. That had the huge house with the big property. Took Kate out to the Spa days and such. Sorry Kate. You can’t buy class.

    Most of the negative comments about J&K seem to revolve around jealousy of $$. I personally do not consider them freeloaders nor do I feel they are exploiting their children. They both had careers prior to the birth of the 6 and Jon attempted to continue his I.T. work after the birth. They were creative and found a way to take the situation that made it necessary to be home and have it work to the advantage of the family’s future. Good for them. Smart.

    I suspect that those who grumble about it are so disgusted with their own lives they need to cast stones as someone elses.

    Lot’s of bitter, angry, jealous comments - maybe TLC could start a show highlighting clips from all the perfect people’s lives who feel they’re in a position to critique.

    Everyone has to take care of thier family to the best of thier ability. This way these kids have more opportunity than they would have if john and Kate were working 80 hours a week. Everyone that is so critical is jelous and should mind thier own lives. I love the show, even I don’t agree with the bedroom thing. I think that it is bonding to snuggle and it gives the idea that they cannot come to thier parents with problems.

    “Our kids have a great life and we have a great life because of them.” Yes you do have a great life because of them you get free trips to utah, free trips to hawaii, free everything so yes Kate your life is great because of your children. I would like to see them try and make it without TLC, they couldn’t do it.

    I have one more thing to say My negativity is not because I am jelous!! My house is just as big and I have no money problems. I think that it wrong to get everything for free just because you popped out 8 kids!!!

    Kate has become a real bitch she treats Jon like a dog and she thinks she is Mrs almighty–the day she yelled over the receit from a store made her look like an idiot–Speak up Jon and put her in her place—–

    Charlotte,
    Ok, you have a BIG house like Kate and NO money problems. Wow, your life is perfect…..but wait ,what about 8 children and the judgments of all the world looking into your life. I am sure that if you had a bunch of cameras in your perfect life you might say or do something that you might regret or not be so proud of. Did you ever think of that? Just the fact that you called Kate a bitch makes you look less than perfect to me. My opinion you would never make it in Kate

    Comment by Heidi — February 19, 2009 @ 12:38 am

35. 

    heidi, you seem to do a lot of defending of this couple, esp the fact they have cameras following them.

    who invited them?
    jon and kate, that’s who.

    so, sorry honey, if you don’t ‘get’ that the purpose of having cameras follow you is to have people then watch you.

    and if people watch you and find out you are a raving lunatic, by golly, they may just want to talk about it.

    the main thing is, the children are far too young to make these judgements themselves and understand the implications and LIFELONG ramifications of the show.

    No one criticized them when they simply showed a loving, cute family.
    but week by week, they are showing the “real” kate and she has shown us that she is a raving, shreiking, complaining wench.
    Sad….but true.

    For that reason and all the exploitation of the children and total lack of privacy, they should NOW think of their children’s best interest and stop doing the show.

    (btw….good to know there is a mental hospital nearby….sounds like the family will definitely need it)

    Congrads on the house. As you can see it will be a bigger job to keep it clean. Kate is a control and clean freak. Watch her freak out now. Now Madey will have more space and time to abuse her younger siblings. By the time Kate or Jon finds her in that mansion God forbid nothing seriously happens. That little girl is border line evil. Again Congrads and good luck.

    Why is Kate so bad to her husband…She should be thankful he is there to help her with the family…she treats him horrible…It is not easy to raise children by yourself. If she thinks he is such a terrible person than why did she marry him? She is the one that need a spanking..he’s your husband not your dog.

    i love this family. When you have 8 kids you have toprovide for them some how. if having a show to do that I see no harm init.After all if all you guys hate them so much then why are you even watching the show. And about the yelling between Jon and Kate what do you expect with 8 kids. I’m 24 and my parents always argued just as much as them but they loved each otherThey stayed together until my Dad passed away when I was twenty.they argue with each other but they have 8 kids.It happens to every married couple no matter how many kids. Waht do you guys expect.

    I love this show and have watched it since the one hour specials, and you can tell kate has gotten better with dealing with the stress. She just took 7 of the 8 to see elmo all by herself and she did not yell once.

    I am so sick of this woman Kate. When is enough going to be enough of the exposure for her? She is worried about “wackos” and wanting her privacy? Ok… heres a clue… STOP THE TV SHOW.
    When you go into Walmart they even have a Gosslein Song that plays. Lady, you got your house. What is this obsessive desire that you have with these children? Isn’t growing up as a sextuplet going to be hard enough?

    Comment by mamaciata — March 18, 2009 @ 9:19 pm

    I recall Kate saying in an episode ‘we’ll stop the show when it is no longer fun’…I believe that time has come now. It is no longer fun watching as a viewer…nor is it fun being raised in America’s living rooms, I presume. Seriously…the fun is no longer evident. Time to move on…and allow these kids to have normalcy…hopefully it is not too late for them to discover what that actually is.

    Oh my gosh! what a house! what are they going to do when they cancel the show for kate being such a whining stuck up anal compliant arrogant annoying -itch. i have three kids and work my butt off for all they have. i am not handed anything. how dare them getting a million dollar house for just getting invetro and having alot of kids on purpose to cash in. Kate doesn’t even act humble or appriciative for all she’s been given. God please bless me and my kids the way you’ve blessed this family- the kids do desreve it and so does jon for sticking around.I think all mothers deserve to be so blessed for being mothers whether they have one or 100 children. The Dugger family acts hummbley and thankful for all they get.They seem to be a wonderful family.Kate definatly has issues and i am not sure who will end up in the mental institute first Kate for being CRAZY Jon for putting up with kate and 8 kids or the kids for having kate for a mother or maybe it will be us the viewers for having to put up with watching kate in her million doller home and expensive cloths and plastic surgery-hey tlc all us mothers would love tummy tucks after what children has done to our tummy’s- damage is damage one kid or 100!!God bless us all!!

    I would like to point out that Jon & Kate were approached by TLC to do this show. They did not seek out the cameras, the cameras found them. I would also like to point out that there are many people in this world that have issues and that does not make them less of a person or parent. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but please, be careful what you say. This is the internet and it can be found by anyone. Including this 14 year old girl who is laughing at how many adults act like my little sister. She’s 7 by the way.

    Well I would like to say that even though “camara’s found them” they still agreed to the show and yes we all have “issues” but we don’t all put them on tv for all to see or cash in on our children.If the family wants thier lives displayed on tv then they have to know people will have thier own views and opinions. And this is a website for people to express thier opinions and comments on!

    Jon and Kate Plus 8 is all about money-making. The show ought to be cancelled now, it is no longer “real” They are now millionaires at the expense of their children and Kate is acting like a stuck up snoot.

    You all say that this a way to money off the kids, So your telling me that if you had 8 kids and with the cost of college going up year by year, and by the time those kids even get to college for a public univeristy close enough to live at home(which 75% of students DON’T do) it will cost them 10,000$ and it will cost 50,000$ for them to live on campus for just one of the kids. Now your everything possible to send your child to school? I’m sorry i very much so doubt that! The bedroom thing yes was kinda crazy i love to cuddle with my son when he lets me. The new house i would love to own a house that size with all the land it would be my dream to have their house. What about all the other families that have reality shows? The Duggers have 18 kids now i don’t hear people bad talking them their house is atleast 10 times the size of Jon and Kates new house. All you people worry about is how much money they have when your just jealous that you didn’t think of it first! The places that give them the free trips are getting the publicity also so are they just as horrible for for thinking of on the road when people see the episodes and then people go and stay at that place because Jon and Kate stayed there? No one seems to be thinking about the bigger picture everyone is winning when they get free vacations. The family, the hotels, the resorts, and anything else they they do on the trips. People see that and want to go to the same places as Jon and Kate did. I think they are geniouses for what they are doing they’re kids are getting experiences that i will honestly tell you my son will probably never have and envy that. I’m not ashamed to say it my son will have what he needs growing up but yes i wish very much so that i could take him on the trips those kids are getting to go on but i don’t critize Jon and Kate for having more than what i have!

    I enjoy the program, the cute kids and how they all have such a hective time doing things. The only thing I don’t like is Kate complaining so much and when her and Jon are talking and telling us some of the things that went on and she goes all mouthy with Jon and I know this makes him feel small.I wonder how she would like it if he stood up to her and told her to stop being so self centered & like she knew it all.

    Kate is an insecure woman, who really does not like herself, who needed to marry a younger man because no older man would put up her crap. She obviously has many, many issues from her childhood. Instead of sharing her good fortune with the rest of her and Jon’s family, she’s hoarding it all for herself. Never once had we ever seen a show where both families came together for a picnic, barbeque or a holiday function.

    Well no one will ever no exactly what’s real and what’s edited. I do think the show has changed since the beginning and I believe as the kids get older, there will be less appeal. I do feel sorry for Jon but again, you don’t know anything unless you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. I do not watch the show any longer just because I can’t stand Kate. I am personally getting sick of all the freebies and the lack of gratitude. I do wonder if some of things you hear are true, like that she has a maid, nanny, gardener….and on and one and on. She seems way to clean for someone that travels as much as she does and I know that with one child I can barely work 8-10 hour days and still get my housework done. I’m ready to drop……….you hear them talk alot of about “God’s will” but in reality they were unable to conceive without invitro, to me it was God’s will to not have any children, man stepped in and made it possible for them to conceive.

    Oh well, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter, like all fads, it will die out and will all be yesterdays news.

    Love your show, please don’t listen to all those cranky people complain about your show. They are obviously jealous of you all.
    Your family is beautiful…keep the shows coming!

    no jealousy on my part. I knew those kids were way too young to be taken to some of those places they went to. They were too young to be able to rememeber being there. Very expensive trips as well. The receipt episode, the hitting, and yelling at john in the stores, restaurants was pathetic. You can tell there is some type of tension now when u watch them. Jon wants to be himself, and I can understand that, but you can also tell that Kate wants to continue in front of the camera, and she will definately have her way. I like jon’s attitude, and sense of humor. Kate is getting obnoxious. Maddy needs her butt spanked. My home is nice too, but I would never talk to my husband that way. Her attitude is horrible.

    I can’t believe so many of you hate Kate/the show so much and continuing to watch (I find it kind of masochistic). And on top of that, reading online articles and commenting about how horrible she is. I don’t like Katie Couric so I don’t watch her shows and I certainly don’t read all about her online! To all of the negative commenters… your energy would be better spent on something you actually like. I can’t imagine allowing so much time for negativity!

    I think the show is cute. Kate can be over-the-top but you have to remember that TLC will only show the most ‘interesting’ clips because that’s what people want to see. It’s perfectly evident by all the comments on this article alone. She’s a good mom who, without question, loves her kids and they obviously love her, too.

    JUDGE OTHERS AS YOU WILL BE JUDGED!
    OK FIRST OF ALL SOME OF YOU WOMEN ON HERE THAT HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY AND THAT ARE JUDGING OTHER PEOPLES LIFE STYLES HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR? JON & KATE CHOOSE TO HAVE THEIR LIVES TAPED BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO. AND THATS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE AND THEIR KEEPING IT REAL. OH PLEASE DONT ANY OF YOU “PERFECT PEOPLE” TRY AND PRETEND THAT YOU LIVE THE PERFECT LIFE. I’M SURE SOME OF YOU WOULD BE TO ASHAMED TO BROADCAST YOUR LIVES ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. PLEASE PEOPLE COME ON DONT TELL ME NONE OF YOU MARRIED WOMEN OUT THERE HAVE NEVER HAD AN ARGUEMENT WITH YOUR HUSBANDS OR LOST YOUR PATIENCE WITH YOUR KIDS. THIS IS A TV REALITY SHOW JUST LIKE ALL REALITY SHOWS THEY FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVITY IF NOT SEX. BUT THIS SHOW IS NOT BASED ON SEX ITS BASED ON A FAMILY THAT WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE BLESSED WITH A TV SHOW. IF YOU DONT THINK THEY DESERVE A TV SHOW THEN DONT WATCH IT, ITS THAT SIMPLE!! SO WHATS YOUR OPINION THEN ON ALL THE OTHER TV SHOWS THAT JUST HAPPENED TO POP UP AFTER JON & KATE’S SHOW? FOR EXAMPLE: 18 Kids and Counting OR Toddlers & Tiaras. COME ON I’D LOVE TO HERE YOUR FEEDBACK SINCE EVERBODY’S A CRITIC ON OTHER PEOPLES LIVES. I HAVE ONLY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS SHOW. AND I REALLY DONT CARE TO SEE THOSE OTHER SHOWS BECAUSE THEY REALLY DONT INTEREST ME. ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE PUT UP FRONTS ON WHO THEY REALLY ARE IN THEIR DAY TO DAY LIFE AND JON & KATE ARENT AFRAID TO SHARE THEIR DIRTY LAUNDRY. NOW ITS MY TURN TO COMMENT BACK ON SOME OF THESE IGNORANT COMMENTS. OK SO AS FOR JON & KATE WANTING SOME PRIVACY IN THEIR BEDROOM FOR SOME ALONE TIME IS NOT THAT BIG OS DEAL AS SOME OF YOU ARE MAKING IT OUT TO BE. DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK AFTER HAVING 8 KIDS JON & KATE HAVE ANY TIME TO BE INTIMATE WITH ONE ANOTHER? I HAVE 4 KIDS AND THEIR ALL OLDER BETWEEN THE AGES OF 11 & 17 AND I’M A STAY AT HOME MOM. IF I DIDNT HAVE A LOCK ON MY BEDROOM DOOR I WOULD NEVER GET ANY PRIVACY. OF COURSE KIDS WANT TO BE WHERE THEIR PARENTS ARE BUT OUR CHILDREN ALSO HAVE TO LEARN THAT MOMMIE & DADDY NEED EACHOTHER TOO. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I GIVE KATE ALOT OF CREDIT SHE IS A WOMAN THAT KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS AND WHEN SHE WANTS IT. DID ANY OF YOU EVER THINK THAT SOME MEN ARE ATTRACKED TO WOMEN WITH A BACKBONE AND AGRESSIVENESS? I’M SURE JON KNEW HOW KATE WAS BEFORE HE MARRIED HER. AFTERALL LADIES DONT TELL ME YOUR HUSBAND IS PERFECT AND THAT HE DOESNT GET ON YOUR NERVES LIKE A CHILD WOULD. EVEN THOUGH THEY MAYBE MEN BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE BUT MOST MEN NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO AROUND THE HOUSE AND WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN. MEN DONT HAVE THE MATERNAL INSTINCT THAT A MOTHER DOES. MEN (FATHERS) MAY LOVE THEIR CHILDREN BUT REMEMBER THEY ALSO LEARNED FROM A WOMAN WHICH WOULD BE THEIR MOTHERS. AND SOME MOTHERS ARE QUIET AND MEEK AS FOR OTHER MOMS THEY MAY BE LOUDER AND OUTSPOKEN. AS FOR MYSELF I’M VERY LOUD & OUTSPOKEN AND MY HUSBAND LOVES ME AND SO DO MY KIDS. WELL ANYWAYS BOTTOM LINE IS JON & KATE ARE GREAT!!!! I LOVE THEM AND THEIR KIDS AND THEIR SHOW!! I THINK ITS FUNNY THE WAY JON & KATE BICKER WITH EACHOTHER. THATS JUST THEM WITH THEIR OWN PERSONALITIES. AND ANOTHER THING SO WHAT IF KATE IS A NEAT FREAK!! IF SHE WAS A SLOB YOU PEOPLE WOULD STILL FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT. BETTER TO BE CLEAN THAN A PIG. AND THE REFRIGERATOR THING “OMG PEOPLE PLEASE” KATE WAS CLEANING OUT A USED REFRIGERATOR YOU WERENT THERE TO SEE JUST HOW DIRTY IT WAS. AND IF ALL YOU JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE THAT SEEM TO WATCH THE SHOW, DID YOU ALL NOT SEE THE EPISODE WHERE THEY GET ALL NEW APPLIANCES WHICH INCLUDED A NEW REFRIG. DONT TELL ME ANY OF YOU WOULD MOVE INTO A HOME AND NOT CLEAN FIRST. LET ME GUESS WHEN YOU GO INTO A RESTAURANT YOU EAT OFF SOMEONE ELSES DIRTY DISHES!!! YEAH I DIDNT THINK SO!!! AND AS FOR THE COMMENT REGARDING MADDY. YES SHE MAY BE A LIL RAMBUNCTIOUS BUT WHO WOULDNT BE WITH 7 SIBLINGS. AND ALL OF THE GOSSELIN KIDS ARE PRECIOUS AND ADORABLE AND THEIR NEW HOUSE SEEMS NICE TOO. BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THE HOUSE IN THESE PICTURES IS THE GOSSELINS. SO DONT BE SO EASILY FOOLED BY WHAT YOU SEE AND READ. THEY DESERVE A BIGGER HOUSE AND THEIR TV SHOW AND THE VACATIONS THEY GO ON. JUST BECAUSE THEIR KIDS ARE SMALL MEANS THEY HAVE TO STAY HOME TILL THEIR KIDS ARE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER. OH PLEASE!!!! THATS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST WHILE YOU CAN!!!

    Amazed watchen the clip them showing their house. I have NO problem upgrading if money is better. I would to, who would not!I do have a problem with Kate’s ranting. She tells Jon what to say, come back, he says something she directs him to say more. Its never good enough! She still bitches in that nice new huge home. She is just a control freak. Poor kids she said, you will be severly punished. Who says that to their kids for going in their parents room. Those kids are little soldeirs. What a Female Hitler, she is emotionally abusive, Jon is ridiculled constantly!!! My mom had 6 kids, she was not a freak like that. Yet structured, cleaned daily, cooked home made meals, was put together and on a budget. We never did get a huge house, darn it. haha

    No for those who say Jon bickers, re watch every episode. You are dillusional… Nothing confusing about it, even in the interviews, no matter what he says, its never good enough, she corrects him and so on. She directs his whearabouts, his action even to not look in a empty cubboard, what to say, when and re say it. I am exhausted after her mouth. Lord her daughter is a spit image of her to. Genetics we will blame.

    Alright, so I watched both video’s, and here’s my thoughts.
    As I sit here I’m living in a 1000sq ft apartment (2 bd 2 bath) with my husband and daughter. That house seems IMMENSE,MONDO, HUGE, GIGANTIC,just beyond what words can say. I would absolutely LOVE to have that house and the land. We’re so far away from owning our first house it isn’t funny. We are not living in poverty (obviously, if I have the internet), we just don’t have jobs that support the income needed to buy a house (mortgage, house ins. utilities, plus other bills like car ins. health ins., you get the picture). We’ll be there someday, just not right now. To see what Jon and Kate now have, I’m happy for them, but it angers me to see her b*tch about how supposidly “filthy” it is. You and I cannot clearly see whether it is or not, and from what I’ve gathered in watching her over the years, she is at the very least OCD…actually, more like a clean freak. So to you and I, it probably isn’t as bad as she says it is. I would LOVE to have my own fridge to clean, my own kitchen to organize, bedrooms to paint, furniture to buy to fill those rooms, etc. Just to have my own yard to mow, it brings tears to my eyes to think how much we don’t have, but then I see her acting like the house is a dump. IT IS A HOUSE, for once, just relish in the moment and feel the true blessings that God has given you. If I had a two bedroom shack, I’d be content in just knowing it was MINE and not the land lords. It is every mothers fantasy to have a house that gorgeous, even when it’s still empty! I do think she went WAY (stress this) WAY over the line with the “severe punishment” act over her and Jon’s new bedroom. I understand having that many kids around you all the time, but COME ON. At first I was like “oh, haha, she’s kidding around.” Then, after another minute or two, I was thinking “Ok, what a b*tch.”. Yes, set boundaries, but don’t get all midevil we’ll throw you in a dungeon with no food if you tress pass- dominant. They’re little kids, believe or not Kate, little kids do need their mommy or daddy at any given hour of the night once in a while, they don’t run on business hours. I wish nothing but hapiness for this family, and am glad they aren’t living in a crate anymore, but Kate…CHILL OUT.

    I have always been a fan of the show from day one! I have always had the same feelings about these issues… Kate does treat Jon like a child and shows him no respect, she’s very nagging. i do understand that it has to be very hard to raise 8 kids but she could do it in a much more nurturing way opposed to like running a daycare center. There is also issues with Mady and how they discipline her with her attitude, obusive behavior to the little kids(kicking, hitting them)it is un called for but yet they do nothing..I would have to say Jon does try!! also with them getting the new house, the kids are getting bigger and need more room to grow..at least they are using the money they are making towards their family/kids.

    Hope for the sake of the children they work out their problems if there are any. Do not watch the show regularly as am uncomforable with the Jon is treated. Have noticed the body language when they sit on the love seat together & discuss the family etc. She is defintely leaning away from Jon.

    To Jon: RUN!!! RUN!!! RUN!!! You seem like a catch!! What woman wouldn’t want you, again, could be the way the TV producers are portraying him but he seems like a good guy to me. I heard he didn’t want to do the show last year (I haven’t talked to them lately so I don’t know) but that Kate pushed him into one more year. I say every woman in America should help pay his child support so he can leave her. $10 bucks says her next husband will be older and richer…………..

    about children and beauty pagents.

    It’s time for Kate to return to nursing, find a daycare for the children, and let Jon find a 9 to 5 job like every other normal American. My guess is that will be difficult for them given the expensive lifestyle they have acquired and their hefty taxes on their estate.

    Time for Kate to return to nursing, find a daycare for the 8 children, and send Jon back to a 9 to 5 job. This will be difficult for them given the lavish lifestyle they are used to now and the mighty taxes on their mansion.

    Even before the news hit the air ways about their marriage problems it is obvious Kate & Jon were in trouble. They have done a great job with so many little kids but the cost to their marriage has been high. Kate sounds like she is a Nazi guard when she talks to Jon. And while her goal is to make good memories for the kids - she is forgetting the negative, mean and demeaning things that flow from her mouth will weigh much heavier in their minds in years to come. Jon & Kat need a time out and away and Kate needs some serious help in how she talks to Jon if the 8 children are to continue to have both parents living together.

    Okay…sure it’s a private matter and people shouldn’t talk about it because it happens everywhere all the time. But they chose to make their lives public, opening the doors and letting people in, so of course people are going to judge and talk. But for those who have said “try having 8 kids and not being cranky”…If you’ve ever seen 17 kids and counting, or 18 kids and counting, the mother and father seem to be pretty level-headed most of the time, keeping their cool. What’s Kates excuse? Yeah 2 are the same age then 6 are the same age, but try having 18 from newborn to like 19 or however old they are. They chose this, so people just need to get over the fact that other people are going to talk about it, because clearly you care enough (for some reason) to post about how people are wrong for judging them. Let them live their lives however they’re going to and talk all you want. It doesn’t affect any of us, so relax.

    Jon & Kate:
    You really need to get some help. This has really overwhelmed you and you don’t seem to know how to fix it. Maybe even call Dr. Phil.
    Kate, you really are not a very good example for your kids. You are hurting your husband by talking to him the way you do. Never talk down to anyone that way!! God wants us to cherish each other and love each other the way Jesus loves His church. I know I have seen you all go to church. Are you really Christians? Another bad lesson for the kids. God has blessed you with these kids and be careful He can also take them away. Both of you need to work on your marriage with God sitting between you and let Him be there at all times. He must be the center of your life and the circumference will take care of it self. Greed is a terrible thing in your life. It will also bring you down.
    Find that love you had from the beginning and make it work for you and all those beautiful children. They will be the ones to suffer, remember that. I will be praying for you and your whole family. God loves you and He always will. Let Him rule your family.

    Kate isn’t rasing her kids,Jon and the nanny is.
    when she isn’t on the road she is at the spa, tanning bed,having her hair or nails done, or maybe working out with her trainer or shopping.
