Kate Gosselin Refuses to Give Daughter Water
Fans of TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8 know Kate Gosselin can be a strict mother.
But a newly surfaced video shows just how stern she can really be. In shocking footage (posted on YouTube Thursday -- the day before she and Jon celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary), Kate sits with her eight kids as they prepare to do a television interview with Access Hollywood in January. The kids complain they're thirsty. "I want a drink!" Mady yells. "I haven't had a drink all day."

Kate ignores her. "Mom, I'm going to get dehydrated!" Mady goes on. Kate dismisses her: "Yes, me too."

Kate then orders a bottle of water. But instead of offering her daughter a sip, the mom of 8 takes a quick chug. "I need a drink now!" Mady pleads. Kate tells her to "be quiet," prompting Mady to cry, "You're really, really mean!"
Tell Us What You Think
64I cant believe how mean you can be sometimes, I use to watch your show all the time i think your kids are adorable yes even mady, I feel really bad for the kids because it seems like they dont get anytime with you or John
okay really? the girl is not going to die if she has to wait for a drink of water for ten minutes. this isnt even a big deal. it was a waste of my time to watch this.
i think she is a selfish attention needy woman who doesnt even deserve to have those beautiful children!!!
plus it would have looked better if she had just said sorry she was thirsty to the interveiwer shes not gonna be the most hated mom if they see her child drinking water??!?!?? she will be if she drinks it in front of her and says here you can have some... no wait were on camera never mind
even though shes being a drama queen all 7 year olds are and i dont like kendra but she was right she needs to think or her children more not being the most admired icon in hollywood "NO YOU CANT HAVE A DRINK NOW WERE ON CAMERA"
I think it is a shame that you (Kate) are stepping out and going every and anywhere you want and always without the kids - I loved your show when the two of you were committed to just loving and raising your kids to be happy - now I see no happiness on their faces ever So sorry for them - Vicki in Fort Worth, Texas
I ADMIRE KATE GOSSELIN....She has taken a beating by the media and all you whacked insane KHATERS. But she goes on, You cant knock her down, because she will keep getting up!!

FAKE KHATE IS AN UGLY WOMAN INSIDE AND OUT! THOSE KIDS SHOULD NEVER BE ALONE WITH HER!!
CAN ANYONE SAY.......CPS!? What a nasty person. And she has the nerve to state, I live for my kids. GIVE THE KID A DRINK!!!
Any normal mother who doesn't want all the attention herself, would give her child a drink. This is typical of her though. I don't think she would be allowed by kate to get her own drink anyway. Kate always wants to be the centre of attention, and that is probably half the problem with her and jon. I mean, look at how she used to speak to him, embarassing to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, Who of us here has not told their kids to wait a minute or to hold their horses. Would the Mom who buys orgqnic everthing really let her kids go without the best drink God has to offer? Maybe for a few minutes, that's all. I would have used different words though/ Anyway isn't Maddy one of the older ones? By the time you are 8 or so you should be getting your own water? Mothers should not slaves nor should she be for the sake of the child when she grows up. Been thirsty before for a little bit, and it didn't kill me.
I can't believe someone actually had the nerves to call Mady a brat. She's a kid and she wants a drink, so she says so. Kate was being a total stuck up beotch by drinking in front of her. I've never seen anything so rude in my entire life. It can only be intentional! My mother and many other mothers would actually have given the kids a drink before they drank themselves! That was so embarrassing to even look at. I cannot believe how someone with so many children can be so selfish and immature. It's disgusting. I hope she disappears off the face of the earth. Kate and Jon are both terrible parents. It's a shame.
I know kids want, want, want, but please to get the water and drink in front of the kids, that is just stupid. She took a drink so her mouth was wet enough to talk her talk. What a mean thing to do!!!!!!!!!!!
Cookie; with the stress Jon and Kate had of having that many children, and mind you not Jon's choice; she certainly made enough trips leaving Jon home to parent the children - obviously at that time he was an exceptional parent, according to Kate's own words, did she really believe with the attitude and way she treated him that he would be her house boy forever
Sweets and Sweetjones, as someone who has worked with children I can assure you I get it that children can't always have what they want, however, when a mother has time to have a drink there is no reason a child should not be afforded the same opportunity - precisely you cannot possible know what is going on inside the family and i have found that children, although sometimes bratty, can be brutally honest.
what a witch ! who does dhe think she is, she will lose her kids like she lost her husband, lack of compassion and love.
Bravo to Meeche Miller couldn't have said it better,But i think i did hear she has a show coming up!It'll fail and then maybe she will be gone!She want's to be the new BradyBunch Mom,She needs to be a real mom to her kid's instead of wanting her own show,since she is use to the Mega buck's the Kids made for her and Jon....enough already stay away!!!!!!
How many times have your kids wanted a drink..or had to use the bathroom when they just wanted attention?..Several kids are all wanting the attention of their only parent present. Kids are kids..forget it.....
I hope we never have to see or hear from Kate again. I was really angry when I turned the TV on the other day to the TLC channel and got re-runs of Kate & Jon Plus 8. Give me a break - I want them OFF the air for GOOD - not have to look at re-runs for the next 5 years.
