I think it’s just a joke that Jon is even on TV. Running around with all those young girls infront of his children is just terrible. Kate you are a great person and it says more about him than you. Does he have any idea what child support for 8 kids should be??? He made a commitment to bring that many children into the world and now how will he support them? He should embarrassed at how he has acted. The show should go on so the kids can continue to live their lives, with or without him. I wish you nothing but the very best you go girl!

I’m no defender of these people but I used to love to watch their show. Say what you will about their personal lives but I thought they did an amazing job with their children – at least until recently. Do you know the odds of sextuplets surviving and being so healthy? Those children are well-behaved, well-educated, clean, happy-go-lucky (except maybe Colin or Mady),potty trained early, living in an extremely orderly and clean home, eating organic/healthy home-made meals. Do you think this would have been remotely possible if she wasn’t such an anal perfectionist? As she likes to say, she was on bedrest for almost her entire pregnancy (which is miserable) but did it to ensure to the best of her ability to carry the pregnancy as close to term as possible. Most children are a reflection of their parents and most of us watched the show because we were enchanted by the children. They are constantly hugged and kissed and individualized as much as possible. You are insane if you think that is possible without running a very tight ship. The body language idiot is cashing in on those children he claims to care about – give me a break. I’ve been holding this rant in for a while. I just think they deserve that much credit. They definitely derailed but hopefully can get back on track. thank you.

I feel so sorry for Kate and those 8 little kids, none of them asked for this mess. They got into it because as Jon said himself, he didn’t like or wasn’t use to staying home, changing diapers,making meals etc. all the things a wife and mother does. And THAT’S why it all happened. Too bad he couldn’t have been more giving,loyal, trustworthy, patient. Oh well, what goes around comes around. As far as her having an affair with the body guard, Jon started the rumor. Guess so he wouldn’t look so bad in everyones eyes,he wanted to drag Kate down to his level,so tabloids would chew on her a while.Sad,sad, sad.This little boy hasn’t yet become a man. I’m sure his sons have more respect for their family circle than Jon had. Maybe he could learn something from them. As far as him having a spiritual wake up call, I think it’s all a smoke screen, he wants everyone to like him, and not see him for who and what he is. Sounds like his girlfriend is getting tired of his temper tantrums. Maybe now she knows what Kate had to put up with. Don’t worry Kate, there’s still a lot of your fans that are on your side, that understand what you are going through, and don’t put you down or make fun of you. Some of us have gone through it, some of us just have feelings.Maybe she didn’t do the right thing by wanting the divorce. Maybe if she would’ve just let him have his way and do whatever he wanted things would’ve been different. Men are men, they have super touchy feelings. Maybe she should’ve let him go on the road and sell the book, and earn the money for the family and try to cut a little slack, sometime being perfect, super organizedand super mom etc. can bring more heart ache than not. Sometime a person gets lost in all that and doesn’t take care of the main person in your life and relax. At the end of the day, you look around and does all the perfection make your life better? in this case, it didn’t, he didn’t appreciate it, he needed to have his ego massaged. He had self esteem problems, he felt inferrior to Kate. Men want to be the bread winners, the heros, the one the wife and kids look up to. I can see his point, but, he didn’t have to do this distructive thing, something that destroyed so many lives.

The interviewer should have asked Kate why she didn’t agree to go to counseling with Jon if she hates being called a quitter so much.

i never watched the show, but i am going thru a divorce and let me tell you, i dont want any of the stbx’s money but you gotta swallow your pride be a major cunt in order to protect and provide for your child/ren. no one is offering to pay my bills, or babysit for me etc. As a mom you have to be strong for them and for yourself.

Ya Kate. Like your not cashing in on your kids.

All this boo hooing from someone who has things just handed to her. I don’t feel sorry for either one of these parents, if you can call them parents.

Counseling? Please. How about counseling for the 15 MILLION American kids that live below poverty level? How about counseling for the 3.2 MILLION cases of child abuse each year in the US? Do you know in the US, between the ages of birth and 3 YEARS OLD, the incidence of abuse is 15.7 per 1000! That is 3 YEARS OLD! Babies! What about the almost one MILLION teen girls that get pregnant in the US every year? How about counseling for them? I think “worrying” about 8 rich kids is totally misplaced.

I just like that they had a “RARE” opportunity to sit down with her. HUH?

I despise the way Jon and Kate talk about their children. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to raise 8, but its like they might as well say, “I can’t deal with those needy pains-in-the-ass anymore.”
