Jon and Kate milk their hate

Abstract:
OK, so I know everyone including myself is sick to death of hearing about Jon and Kate Gosselin of Jon and Kate Plus Eight fame, but it is because of the constant attention they have been receiving that I can't help writing about them today.

While at a friend's house Monday night we found ourselves sucked into watching TLC....

The is showed does need to end. TLC is disgusting for continuing to milk it for all they can. Jon & Kate are not of their right mind. They I am afraid love the cash load. These are two very sad humans, who have forgotten their priorities.

this show should be cancelled. mostly for the childrens sakes. where are the child's protective agencies in this case??? unfortunately jon and kate's greed got in the way of the betterment of the children. these adults use their beautiful and god given children in the same way an animal is used in a circus, and other performers are used in order to make the almighty dollar. shame on you jon and kate for using your children for your gain. what happened to the love in your heart and parenting skills towards your children to say enough is enough and I don't want my children to be exploited in this manner. the authorities should take the children away from these 2 kooks and shut down this ridiculous show!! There are so many great shows on TLC to watch such as the Little Couple, 18 and counting, etc that honestly what fun and enjoyment is it to watch a crazy woman screaming at her kids and belittleling her husband while he sits there looking dumfounded all the time. please...please TLC get rid of this show!!!!

I think like all the rest of us poor folks out here if we want to file for Divorce We have to go to Counseling for 6 months before and 6 months after. My friends here in Arkansas were required 1 year of counseling. I think the show needs to be removed TV and the kids need to be placed in protective custody until they work it all out because Kate is just getting rich on the show. She only done it for the money. Why can't she go back to being a nurse and let Jon go back to work. And not do the show from now on. But I forgot she likes the money her kids make for her.

God Bless the children.
Jon is a whimpy pouty prick. Oh now I have earrings--I'm a man ? Oh now I wear my hat like a street punk--I'm bad. Go count eggs in a petry dish?
Kate get over it. You are not the only one who (after 20 years) got left with kids to raise. In my case it was 6. Let go of the fame and fortune and enjoy your brood. They are darling little ones and need someone with some sense. Your it !

Kate is oh so awfully sorrowful about this divorceful, ickily thing called motheryhood and wifery-type thing that she is driving her milliony fan-type creatures into an oodle of spite-ily hatefulness towards that lord-forsaken muggily duggily of hers...

I knew after the first season of the show that Jon would probably have an affair or divorce Kate because she is constantly "belittling" him on the show for the world to see. You don't treat a man like that on TV, if you want to talk bad to your husband you do it behind closed doors, not show to the world what a total bitch you are. They need to cancel the show, just hearing their names makes me sick.

Very well put, neither spouse should put the other down in any public situation. I had always wondered how they could afford all of those fanstastic vacations, when I have two kids and both of us worked and we could never afford any. I get it, you put your kids out there.

I can't believe he is looking a bachelor pads in NY.

He needs to get a place near his kids and not abandon them...They are going to need a lot of love and hugs....not just on father's day.

I am so disappointed that Jon refused counseling. When you make your marriage vows, you're supposed to work things out. He may have been henpecked, but Kate obviously has a problem, and he should have chosen counseling with her, not give up, and of all things, cheat on her. I sincerely hope he keeps his dates away from the kids. The most important part of parenting, is teaching your kids values. He is definitely giving a bad example of values to those kids.

I totally agree, not just that but Jon knew how she was when he married Kate, he allowed her to run over him for ten years and instead of standing up for himself during that time he waited until he was bitter toward her and then cheated, that was sooo wrong. When he knew there were things he couldnt deal with he should have worked on his marriage and not let it go and then split!

"Kate denied that having the show and becoming celebrities played no part in the breakdown of their marriage" umm HUH? I think the writer of the article meant she denied the show played a part instead of no part?
She obviously is in total denial

I still watch it, but only because I have from the beginning and I feel like I have a strangely vested interest in this family. In the beginning, it was fascinating and interesting to watch them interact and deal with stressful situations, but now it is just sad. I never watched the show to be entertained and it is certainly not entertaining watching them fall apart. I will probably tune in in August just to see if and how things have changed, but after that, I don't know.

Jon and Kate are using children to gain money, which is really shameful, where are their love and parenting for children. It should be shut down.

This show needs to be taken off the air for the sake of these eight children.
The children should come first and not the monetary desires of Kate.
It's very telling that Kate's family is not gathering around her.....very telling!
