    if nothing else, since these two constantly use the media as a source of venting, they should have publicly made a statement in regards to janet. At least show some sympathy for the family and thank janet for all that she did for those babies. It is in POOR taste that jon and kate did not address this important life changing thing in the media. They flap their gums about all the stupid petty crap, and then do not acknowledge someone important in their life. Typical.

    i believe kate should be doing exactly what she is. jon is so immature.she should get custody and he made to do child support.after all;he's the one who screwed up.

    Good grief people, can't you just write about this lady's passing without peppering it full of dumb articles like Kate's hairdoes over the years or spot the pumpkin? Small wonder our youth of today have so little manners or respect.

    Kate's recent up close and personal interview was handled by Kate with class and integrity, she should be proud of herself as a mother and a woman. I hope that one day she and John can be friends so that they can parent their children lovingly, however John has a very long way to go, his behavior is often selfish and inmature. It would be nice to see him acting with some class and dignity. Everything these parents do molds their childrens future character and soul. No one is perfect, but we need to always ask ourselves if we are behaving in a manner that we want our children to see and experience, and immulate by asking that one question we will get it right more often than not.

    I don't seem to get something here. Why do people that don't like the Gosselins look them up and say negative things about them? I just doesn't make sense. This people should find something to do with their time other than harass the Gosselins. It's as simple as that.

    Why are people so cruel? Especially the hypocrites.
  • November 04, 2009 - 4:02pm Simon Says:

    Everybody the person claiming to be Kate Gosselin is not the real Kate Gosselin! The person who wrote this is a fake and imposter. I just wanted to let everybody who comes to this site know that.

    Does anybody want to see me do a show by myself yet? Come on, it wasn't the kids you tuned in for. You would have watched a dog and pony show as long as *I* was the star. I need to be where the action is and I thrive on being admired, and being in front of a camera is my standard now. Being stuck at home living on residuals and raising my eight brats isn't glamorous enough. Besides, they exacerbate my bipolar disorder.
  • November 02, 2009 - 10:36pm BooHoo Says:

    She was probably the only sanity the kids knew. I wonder if the stress from Kate's obsessiveness drove her to an early grave?

    I have been a avid watcher and have seen a major change in both of them BUT as a WIFE,MOTHER and GRANDMOTHER(whom raised 2 sets of kids) it was inevetable that over time the dynamics of these two would go through many changes. Alol I am stating is there has to be an alpha parent and a omega parent. In life we as couples are a balance of these things. I give alot of strength to KATE(alpha) for how she has stood her ground and the control she has shown for the way JON (omega)has totally thrown his family into a negative realm. I think that his kids aresmart enough to seen that there dad is not really the rock solid parent since his time with the kids usually ends up with on of them crying or not wanting to do what he has planned. The older girls are his favorites but the others he just seems stand offish towards. If you have seen the episodes with KATE and the younger ones she is very good at being with them as a group or even on there boy/ girl trips. I am very proud of how KATE has gotten more relaxed and how she is focused on the welfare of her kids and to me that is a women I can respect. She doesn't need our remarks she needs us to STOP judging her in PRINT whether its in a magazine or television tabloid. Put yourself in her shoes for one week and see what you would REALLY be like after just that length of time , she has been dealing with it for much longer than we are even aware of. KATE you hang in there and what ever you decide will be what everyone will have to except
