Jon needs to grow up. they have 8 children
I have had 6 whats the big deal. jon lost his job
Kate lost hers now she's
bringing in the $$ and he wants to party and then sits and said he's there for his kids . Then party, Jon, but with the children
their friends and get their friends parent invited if you need more adult company.. and get off TV
this is the first realty show i watched due to ,as some others
have said
too see how the children were being taken care of. . but now it seems jon wants to toss them back as tho they were
small fish he dosent need. he wants private time..
Get a Job...
they have help for the children
Kate has stamana to push foward
and provide for herself and family..
Jon wants to be 18 .. maybe thats why it looks like Kate is always telling him to do this or that, thats whats it like when you have a 18 yr, old
whats( this his Friend )was at their home OhOh thats
thats crossing the line Totally and there was no cheating, hummm then you dont bring them home.

I only have 2 kids, and even with DH & I having "good" jobs, there were/are still times when I panic about $$.. How will we DO it all??... food, mortgage, insurance, college savings, clothes, etc., etc.

I can't IMAGINE how terrified I would be if my family quickly expanded by 6 more... to be honest, I can totally see why they initially agreed to do some filming with TLC. I think MANY of us (self included

) would. A cute documentary about your adorable babies, and some badly needed income... It would be hard to "pass" on that!!

I think it has snowballed out of control, tho. And is an absolute trainwreck, so sad, especially for the kids. I think blame is kinda "shared" on that one.. and not just by Jon & Kate, but by the hollywood/media "machine", the paparazzi, even by us viewers (

)...

I absolutely believe that the well-being of the children is ultimately (of course) the responsibility of the PARENTS, and at this point everyone is being terribly harmed... I would like to think that if I had accepted "the deal" with TLC, I would have recognized when it went from a well-intended exciting opportunity to a destructive situation... and that I would have "pulled out" in time. I *THINK* I would have. I hope.

The whole thing reminds me of people who win the lottery... It seems like such a GOOD thing, that not many of us would refuse, but it so often ends up being really unexpectedly destructive; lost friends & family, divorce, heartbreak...

Darn, i must have missed the new show last night! I thought it was on tonight! i wanted to see it...

 

[gabrielle1976]

Dont worry redhen Im shure there will be reruns on that epasode for awhile

Oh and I coudnt bealve that jon left kate to set up and put together the entire birthday party ,, 6 of his kids were gonna have a birthday party , and he took a WEEKEND OFF from the family .. that screams selfish imature butt head to me

 

[gypsy2621]

totally silly , and un necessary , major publicity stunt.
made it through the first 5 minutes and switched to the SCI FI channel.

 

[gabrielle1976]

I admit I wathced the whole thing but I was watching the latest episode of CSI NY on my lap top at the time and stopping it to stare dumb founded at the tv once and a while .

I hate sesonal cliff hangers , NCIS they left zeva in telave or whatever and every ones mad at goofy boy for killing instead of being killed
CSI NY they kill of a charecter then leave the show with the whole crew getting shot at with a machine gun not knowing if anyone else is hurt or killed , I mean I know they need to make people want to come back cause they have to know what happens but plese dont do that to me Im gonna be biteing my nails allsummer.

If you treat someone like a child, they will act like one.

I'm surprised he has made it this long. From episode one I wondered how he put up with the constant barrage of criticism and orders.

I did to actually , I thought she acted like a hag most the time BUT that dosnt give a grown man the right to do that to his kids or family , the for better or worse til death do us part thing kinda is there for a reason, you cant change the way someone else acts but you can change the way you act and you can own up to youre own crap .

I reckon all of that would push anyone over the edge.
Yes, Jon has always been very immature.
Yes, Kate has always been a pushy...witch.
Yes, it's overrated and overly publicized.
But, no one's perfect.
I'm not making excuses for Jon to cheat, it's definitely uncalled for, I don't care what circumstances you're under.
I'm also not making excuses for Kate to be so pushy.
But that many kids would put strain on the most perfect of marriages, with help or not.
