Exclusive: Gosselin Kids "Acting Out All the Time" as Parents Feud
Jon Gosselin said he and estranged wife Kate "kept it cordial" Thursday for his twins' 9th birthday party, but sources tell the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now) that the eight Gosselin children are suffering from their parents' public war of words.
"They are confused and distraught and are acting out all the time in an effort to get attention from their parents," a source tells Us Weekly.

Last week, the two engaged in a heated battle, with Jon, 32, trying to halt production on their newly titled TLC show, Kate Plus 8, claiming it is hurting his kids. Kate, 34, shot back this past Monday, claiming that Jon removed $230,000 from their joint account, leaving her with bills. Jon called her claims a "total fabrication" and said that Kate has been "hiding money." He even went as far as telling Entertainment Tonight that twins Cara and Mady's Oct. 8 birthday party could wind up being "WWIII."
As the bickering continue, sources tells Us Weekly neither parent seems to care how the kids -- the sextuplets Hannah, Leah, Alexis, Joel, Aaden and Collin are 5-years old - are faring.
"She barely talks to them," a Kate confidant tells Us Weekly. "The nannies are doing 95 percent of the work. Kate has a short attention span, and everything upsets her."

As for Jon, "he can't stay at home with them," says a Jon source, who overheard the bad dad asking a paparazzo what time the kids were due home from school. "He gets annoyed when they interrupt him when he's on the phone."

Tell Us What You Think
78jon should stand up for his rights and put kate in her place.
i think kate gosselin and and jon should have there children taken away from them. i do not like what they are doing to there kids and they are at each others throats 24/7
ANOTHER HAILEY STORY HERE......STFU HAILEY
They need to stop the show. I love the show..but the kids need stability..and they don't have that. The fighting are going mess up those kids..and she need a new hair due..its ugly already.
kate should go get a nine to five job and see if she is a real mother.lol that would be enough to pay for her makeup artist, which by the way should be fired
kate is a b**** and im so glad jon woke up and started talkin for himself. kate is just in it for the money. always has been. she will make up with jon just to stay on tv. mark my word
I wish they'd stop soon, for the kids.
OMG! Children acting out! I have NEVER heard of such a thing. They must be so traumatized.
THE NEWS OF THE GOSSELIN CHILDREN BEING AFFECTED BY THEIR PARENTS DAILY DISPUTES is not shocking at all! I'm surprized it hasn't shown up earlier at school and in dealing with other children.
I think it is very sad that the children are the ones actually being traumatized by the behavior of their parents that are literally going for the jugular vein with the underhanded pot shots they are taking with each other in the media, no less. It's obvious the Jon and Kate are in a battle over control and are willing to destroy their childrens childhood in order to get the upper hand in the on going he said she said war of words. How very sad for their children...
crazy people write same time. not understand people.
sick yuck kate is ugly
F@#$ kate money hungry not kate should not have her account. Reason why they used their money from the TLC shows. TLC shows want pay to their kids only not Kate! Kate really hungry money from kids' account. kate really go job now... jon save account for kids' future. Jon always give kids good time travel by kids' account not kate's !!!
F@#$ THE GOSSELINS - GETTING TIRED OF READING ABOUT THIS MEANINGLESS SH$$!
These two idiots don't deserve these beautiful children.These children need a more stable,loving,structured envirement.
Now that Kate does not have any money how will she pay the nanny. cook, babysitter and Steve?
I can't believe that Steve will still want Kate now that he knows what a witch she is.
The losers and their miserable brats. Can't stand any of them.
One , two , three losers; Jon, Kate and TLC.
Jon is a douche. He's stopping the only means of support any of them have just because the show gave him the boot. He is a childish a$$ and he is going to need money to lure the 20 year olds because they certainly don't want him for his looks!
