Waste not, want not!
Budget-minded Kate Gosselin has no tolerance for the finicky eating habits of her eight kids. A source close to the single reality TV mom, 35, tells UsMagazine.com that Kate gets incensed when her children don't finish their packed lunches at school.
Instead of throwing away the uneaten grub, "she repacks it for them in the next's day lunch," the source explains, adding that it's school policy to send any untouched food home with students each day.
And those PB and Js can get a little gross, the source adds. "The kids are stubborn, so sometimes the little kids have the same half-eaten sandwich in their lunch all week."

Sometimes the 9-year-old twins and 6-year-old sextuplets get teased for the musty sandwiches. "Some of the little ones cry, and some get angry and fight," the source adds.

Kate's ex-husband Jon, 33, isn't a fan of Kate's frugal fits. A pal overheard the single dad quip to his kids: "If you lived with me, you wouldn’t have to eat rotten food for lunch every day."
Tell Us What You Think
66No, I would never have done that. It's a food safety issue in the first place. And if kids aren't eating their lunches then maybe you should give then something they will eat-something nutritious as well as enjoyable instead of doing what Gosselin does. Eating shouldn't be a power struggle between parents and children-it should be a means to get nutritious substances into your kids' tummies. Of course, this lady is nuts anyway.
LMAO at this "bruce duncan". The guy must be high. Highly entertaining, but obviously not of this world.
Sharon Wills-- so you think every made up lie that people say should be looked into by child services???? are you kidding me??
wow.. what a load of crap
I really think this is BS, there no one in there right mind that will send there kids too school with the same sandwich for a week straight, I think US weekly should look further into there stories before publishing them, they should also apoligize to Kate.
This is BULL. I don't care how much money she has or who she is, if the teachers and lunch monitors saw the kids with old PB & J sandwiches for a week they would call child services. And if they see these things and don't call, then she and the people at that school should all be locked up.
nothin surprises me, she comes first! she just witches at the kids & its always been about her!
@COLLEEN You are sooo right and the only one who made sense! It is refreshing to see someone besides myself who is sane enough to know this!
This is a stupid lie. I don't find her to be a warm and fuzzy mom, but she does love her kids, she does have millions of dollars, and .....this is just ridiculous. Shut up US Weekly.
BTW, How much experience do any of you or your eminently objective sources have in trying to teach children NOT to waste the precious resources God has given us? Despite our repeated efforts to teach by our own example, our 2 teenaged kids think our gestures of resource friendliness and respect for our money, is really old-school and not relevant to them in any way. I sorta 'spect Kate has her hands really full with her brood, and all you losers with too much time on your hands can do is constantly sling the most snide digs at a mother who's doing her best to do right by her children. For Shame you armchair "experts"!!
You Einsteins really caught the essence of truth and objectivity by quoting A/H Jon Gosselin's totally SELF-SERVING propaganda in the custody and allegiance wars. With that kind of human being for a source, you guys have the facts ROCK SOLID!!
This cannot be true!!!
Wow, I don't believe this
I am not a fan of Kate's, But,I don't know if I believe this or not, it would almost border on child abuse to make a kid eat a moldy sandwich. She is into organic foods and such a clean freak I just don't see it. But, I do think maybe CPS should look into some of these things and maybe all of these rumors could be put to rest.
I don't believe this story one bit! Shame on you US Weekly!! No matter what people think of Kate, this is just plain old BS!
@Tess Taylor. A week old sandwich is still good huh? Please don't breed or at least have someone else take care of you children.
I dont know if I even believe this story. Why are there always "a friend", "source" but NO NAME? I call foul on this story....and I am FAR from a Kate fan, but I just hate made-up stories!
Wow, I wonder where they learned how to cry, get angry, or fight. Their mom is nothing but a bully, and now, so are they.
This story is such B S but if it keeps people reading I guess. I think Kate is great, to all you Kate haters check out how many people comment if you want her gone don"t comment. The sell what people want and the more you bash and hate the more they sell.
Just like Kate your about a week late.. hollybaby posted this story already... http://bit.ly/c3HLbD
