Kate Gosselin Has "Meltdown," Starts "Crying" at Rehearsal

More than two weeks into Dancing With the Stars, Kate Gosselin says it remains a "challenge" being a mother to eight kids and competing on the hit ABC show.
While rehearsing "one day this week during practice" in the basement of her family's Wernersville, Pa., home, "I had a little meltdown," she said in a story posted Monday on ABC's Good Morning America website. "And I heard them upstairs. And I just started crying. And I was like, 'I just miss my kids.'"

But she said she has to do the show because her family needs the money.
"I hate being away from my kids," she said, dismissing claims that she is hungry for fame. "If it could all go away because I was financially set and I could stay home and I could bake and cook from scratch, like I love to do, I'd so be there.

"But the reality is, moms have to work," she added. "I'm not the only mom. Moms everywhere have to work, especially single moms. And I have to do this for my kids and I'm doing it to better their future because I love them more than anything."
Despite harsh criticism from judges (one called her a "nightmare"), she managed to survive the first elimination round.

Her partner Tony Dolovani predicts she'll do better this week.
"Paso Doble is going to be Kate's best dance :)" Dovolani, 37, wrote on Twitter Saturday. On Sunday, he added: "Kate is doing a great job. I am looking forward to tomorrow :-)"

I have to say I am tired of this person constantly running for the camera, dragging her 8 kids behind her screaming of impending poverty, needing to remind everyone that she needs to do the things that she does, to earn money to support her children. The way she speaks, you'd think she was the only person in the human race that has children to support. She chose to have eight children, and rightly so if she wanted a big family. However, it seems she loves attention more then her children do, she loves contriversy more then her children do, she loves money more then her children do. I am a parent, yes I have more then one child. I worked my whole life, and still do. For over 22 years I worked two jobs, one full time and one partime. Seven days a week. They were not sit down jobs either. I still had to get my grocery shopping, kids clothes, doctors appointments, emergency room visits, flu, chicken pox, school functions broken down car, and the real life list goes on and on. So Kate, count your blessings that their are people who are even interested in you or a fraction of what goes on in your crazy single parenthood world, and are there to help wipe your brow when it all get's to much. I for one have a hard time even wrapping my head around the phenomenon that is you. Maybe your life is a "reality" show to some. I don't get it. None of any of what I've seen or read seems to be a real life. I might not have all the things you do but I love my family, and keeping myself grounded helps to keep things in perspective. Be careful what you wish for. Don't let real life pass you by.
KATE IS NOT PEOPLES IA MAKING FUN OF HER AND SHE IS TOO STUPID TO SEE IT
SHE DOES NOT NEED A BODYGUARD
Kate is not a SINGLE mom...she's a DIVORCED mom.
Who cares...why do people care?
Can someone PLEEEEZZZE tell me WHY Kate needs a bodyguard...WHY!!! How self important. I know TLC pays for it. Im sure they can find better use for that Mmoney.
questionfortheASSSKISSERS, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
TO BOSTON: BRAVO! CAN'T STAND FAKE KHATE EITHER!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SHE IS A JOKE!
Cara.... I'm sure you didn't alienate your entire family and all your friends. You probably didn't treat your babies father like crap. You probably don't spend money on hair extensions, fake boobs, botox, mani-pedi's, nannies, cooks, housekeepers and you probably don't pimp out your kids to the camera for fame and fortune. You may even treat others with respect and kindness. That's the difference between good moms like you and selfish media wh*res like Kate. This isn't about a single mom trying to earn a living. This is about a spoiled brat wanting more and more with no talent to make it justifiable.
Dear kate,,,, Hi!!! I am a mother of 5 children and I know how hard it is to survive in this world as a single parent. Please take all these nasty comments and do all of us single mothers a favor... just ignore them. If i would have gotten the chance to be on a reality show, I would have taken it so go woman and be happy!!!! Good Luck..
And "Questions for the Haters" -- we're watching it to see just how BAD she truly can be. So far I have not been disappointed! She's horrifying on the dance floor, not even TRYING! She's just WALKING. Buzz Aldrin had more style, and he is an AMERICAN HERO.
Um, she renewed her nursing license, right? As in "REAL JOB". Yes, good. Go back to it. Be a REAL mom with a REAL job. Lots of single moms 'do it for their kids,' sheesh. Stop whoring yourself out to the spotlight, it's over, now you're stuck with the fallout, raising 8 kids alone.
v.... Kate does not know the meaning of the word "humble". She's doing it for the money and she sells herself to the highest bidde. She has no shame.
The paso doble??? I thought you have to have some sex appeal for that dance, and some sense of feeling the music. Kate has neither. Poor Tony - he's delusional thinking that Kate is going to get better. She makes $75,000 per episode, while he makes union scale, about $1100.00. She wouldn't stay home with her kids if she had 10 million dollars. This woman is A media wh*re.
HEY HATERS....IF KATE IS SO HATED AS YOU SAY....THEN WHY IS SHE MORE POPULAR WITHOUT THE FILMING OF THE CHILDREN ??... WHY DOES KATE HAVE MORE FANS THEN SHE EVER DID??? .... WHY HAS THIS SEASON OF DWTS BECOME THE MOST WATCHED SEASON SO FAR ???.... WHY IS KATE'S NEW BOOK A BEST SELLER EVEN BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED???.. WHY WAS KATE NOT VOTED OFF DWTS ????..""""" YOU HATERS CLAIMED YOU WERE SUCH A LARGE STRONG GROUP"""",.. THAT YOU WERE GOING TO GET KATE VOTED OFF THE SHOW FIRST""",.. ''WHAT HAPPENED ????????...YOU KNOW WHY HATERS....BECAUSE ALL OF AMERICA DOESN'T HATE KATE....ONLY A FEW OF YOU DO, ...AND IN SUCH AWAY THAT HER SECURITY TEAM IS AWARE OF EVERYONE OF YOU. ...YOU ARE A VERY SMALL GROUP THAT DOES NOTHING BUT WRITE HATEFUL VILE COMMENTS ABOUT KATE 24/7.....YOU HATERS ARE LYING PITIFUL LOSERS, ... ...FACE IT HATERS YOU ARE THE MINORITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
