Kate is making a few Year in Review lists this week, and it's not pretty.
Said MSN TV of the Kate Plus 8 cancellation: "It was just the back-to-school treat many incredulous viewers across the nation were hoping for, incredulous that Kate Gosselin had stretched her 15 seconds out so long."
And David Hiltbrand of The Philadelphia Inquirer had this to say: "Certainly, we can all celebrate the fact that a pair of ruthless despots were deposed in 2011: Moammar Gadhafi and Kate Gosselin."

So true. Khate Gro$$elin is a narcissistic a-hole Khadaffi was too. I feel sorry for her kids and ANYONE else who crosses her path...Ashley, Jon, Multiple Blessings author, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. Can't stand this narcissist. Hope 2012 is the year Khate drops off into oblivion FOR GOOD. She has nothing to offer in her pathetic quest to be a "stah", so she might as well just shut her yap and try parenting those 8, count them 8 kids.
Am thinking it's possible that perhaps Coupon Cabin has gotten wise and dumped her. Her blogs were exactly seven (7) days apart, but there's not one this week so far--nine (9) days since the last one.
She must be so very proud of this accomplishment. As long as she keeps her face out there, that's all that matters to her.

Well said. I don't have much tolerance for narcisstic tyrants. Especially those who have NOTHING to offer humanity, other than giving birth to and exploiting 8 calculated kids. And who has systematically eliminated anyone in her life who did not prescribe to her selfish propoganda, which is pretty much everyone.
On a positive note, am hoping for a better New Year for the G8, although am skeptical for obvious reasons.
JudyK, someone on twitter asked her and she says she has the week off. However, if they haven't canned her yet, it's only a matter of time. They'll see if she's driving traffic to their site and causing more clicks on the coupon codes, specifically the ones they tack on to the end of her drivel. If not, I'm sure they won't hesitate to get rid of her. They're trying to get the site successful, probably so they can sell it for a profit.
Those lists are great, but what I love the best is that she's not even mentioned on most year-end/year in review lists, even of negative people. She didn't make Gawker's list of people they won't miss and some of the ones they had I never heard of. I did a google search to find others and got nothing, except what you got admin.
Dropping like a rock, poor thing. /wipes a tear (from laughing)
Adm if the nightmare is over I bet Kate is like Freddy Krueger she'll all ways find her way back

Hyperbole. Exaggeration. Joke. Funny. David Hiltbrand is not an idiot, he is a good writer who knows how to make a good joke. He has written three novels and worked for People, TV Guide and the Philly Inquirer. I don't think he cares you think he is an idiot.

He didn't compare Kate with Gadahfi. In a comparison, the qualities or character are examined in order to uncover differences or similarities. No "comparison" was made. What he wrote was that each of them was deposed. Nothing more, nothing less. That statement, as much as you may not like it, is the truth.
Thanks Dallas Lady and Carol for the twitter info that she "has the week off." I'm hoping that's Katespeak for she's been let go.
Or Kate speak for, even Coupon Cabin doesn't make their employees write my blog over the holidays!

How about choosing a name to post under? Regardless if you like to post, state your case under a name.
BTW, Kate is a ruthless tyrant, and therein lies the comparison.
Hahaha!
I agree with the blog entry title :o)
I just want to respond to Carol and Dallas Lady's posts on Coupon Cabin giving Kate a week off-
A week off from doing what?
Kate's anemic, little blog at Coupon Cabin is soooooo exhausting that she needs a week off?
I think that it's the other way around. Reading Kate's blog is so exhausting, that readers need a week off.
Most of the top blogs either work through the holiday days, or at least have some canned posts ready to go and post automatically while people are off.
I probably visit three or four blogs on a daily basis, they are extremely popular and every single one of them has posted several new things over the holidays.
It's not like she's "working" for CC for hours a day and needs "a week off". They just aren't working on her stuff this week at CC and are
on vacation. She's only saying that to make it sound like she has an actual job.
First of all, David Hiltbrand's comment was tongue in cheek- OBVIOUSLY.
Kate is not responsible for the same attrocities that were committed during Gadhafi's rule.
Now, by definition:
despot
n.
1. A ruler with absolute power.
2. A person who wields power oppressively; a tyrant.
ruthless
adj.
Having no compassion or pity; merciless: ruthless cruelty; ruthless opportunism.
Sounds like Kate- just to a lesser, more mediocre degree compared to
Gadhafi ;o)
Yes, I would think many people look for after -Xmas savings so copupn blogs should consider it an important time for them to publish & not grant vacations, especially to new employees.......I actually sent an e-mail with my opinion, that I did not find KG's blog edifying in anyway and it did not meet my personal shopping needs- I already can find out about her life if I choose to through her twitter, JMO. I don't want her fired necessarily as that might affect the kids (although I doubt she would earn too big a salary, but I maybe wrong...) I just want CC to be aware.
As for the article, yes,it is satirical, but can Kate ignore it? I can't see anyone 'not noticing' this or ignoring such 'negativity.'
I just read yesterday that Monday was the second biggest shopping day of the year, behind black Friday. Wouldn't THAT be the time to have a blog entry, with everything from discounts to offers for free shipping?
I don't perceive of CC being a very active site, any way. Their name has never come up when I search for coupons. I have many that I have signed up for and they send me am e-mail when there are new coupons up. Never once has their name popped up in any links from the other sites while numerous other sites do pop up. One virtually links to another. Never heard of them before or after the KT connection. It is possible they might be closed until after the NY, as no one would even notice.
How do you get a week off when you just start a job? Maybe Hate should start looking for a real job....oh wait, no one that knows her would have her...snark.
All us mediocre have to accrue vacation and save it up all year if we want a bunch of time off this week. I did. I think it makes you appreciate more time with family and friends and just kicking around relaxing.
I'm not really a shopper, I probably do the most shopping around this time of year by far and is really the worst time of year for a shopping blogger to take a week off. You can take the week off, fine, just have some posts in the can.
Wow, no cc blog entry By her highness this week? It is a HUGE shopping week, what with returns, exchanges, ginormous clearance sales on holiday items and the like. The white sales have begun...in other words, a big week for coupons to add to the existing sale price. But, I guess, since she has yet to write a useful "couponing" blog, no big loss.
Let's face it, Kate contributes nothing to CC. She goes on and on about herself and kids and their personal experiences( which anyone can find on her blogs or twitter), yet contributes nothing to assist others in saving money, except for a few coupons we can all find on our own.
As always, she does NOT rise to the occassion. Kiss CC good-bye Kate! And I will not read her blogs or whatever there, as she does not deserve a single hit, or recognition, as once again, she does not do the work. Big surprise.
Our long national nightmare may be over, but unfortunately, the G8's nightmare continues. Please God, it too will soon be over, and they'll no longer be subjected to the narcissistic whims of their "mother".
readerlady
I agree with you all..I went to CC just in case they DID have good sales- her entries are on her personal site which I also sneak onto to check what drivel was up from what I was reading...not often though. Anyhow, CC has coupons for brands I use but it states you have to use them on-line at Alice.com? I want coupons to take to the grocery store or print out if for a larger item. It is not a great coupon blog IMO. I would state this even without K being involved: now it's worse ! I wonder if her personal stories in her CC blog are approved and praised there? Could it be they ASKED for a 'personal' touch? Oh what a mistake that would be!
Hyberbole or not - what we still have is someone likening a tyrranical terrorist to the mother of 8 innocent children. We often talk about what will (or already does) happen when Kate's children get on the Internet and sees the things she says on Twitter. But what happens when they see the horrible things that are said about their mother - from blogs calling her not-so-nice names to lists proclaiming her the "most ______" of the year.
Does it do anything to protect them to reprint those lists and discuss them, or does it harm them even further?
I'm not surprised that CC gave her a week off. What will surprise me is if that time off doesn't end up being permanent. She has nothing helpful to say about saving money, and now that the holidays are over, does she have anything to say at all?
I was shocked when she did the interview where she briefly mentioned CC and then immediately said that she has always seen a talk show in her future. Ouch! That is so disrespectful to the one place that has given her a job--she immediately says she wants something else, like CC isn't good enough for her. And I'm sure we have all noticed that she has planted some news story (face lift, boyfriend, etc) on Sundays or Mondays, so that when she addresses those "rumors" she can casually mention her CC blog, which will be coming out on Tuesday. The first story(face lift) get her some attention, but the boyfriend rumor and then the marathon barely registered. Nothing to draw interest to her blog or to her. I'm sure she was stunned that she ran a marathon and wore a snarky shirt (an obvious ploy for attention) and wasn't invited on a single talk show. Now that's a clear sign that the rest of the world has moved on. Time for her to do the same.
Layla
Am I the only one who thinks she would consider it a compliment (in terms of her "importance" in the world) to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Moammar Gadhafi? I am assuming she is aware of the ruthless despot but, given that we have been told she does not keep up-to-date on "news", she may not even have heard of him.
bm
To Notasheeple: Sorry, I'm NOT buying your crap about how unfair it is to compare Khatezilla Gro$$elin to Mohmar Ghadaffi. Khate IS a narcissistic a-hole and Mohmar was a narcissistic a-hole. That wench Khatezilla deserves EVERY bit of anathema that is heaped upon her. What that psychopathic, dysfunctional witch did to her 8 innocent children is unconscionable. If this witch had more power, she would be just like Mohmar Ghadaffi. The two loser idiots are cut out of the same narcissistic, sick cloth. I know this may sound extreme to some, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH. Has kate done ANYTHING to make this world a better place without the spotlight turning back on HER and all of her delusional ME, ME, ME crap? NO. Her 8 children that she feigns to love are only an extension of HER, and those same 8 children were only "manufactured" (conceived) for her stupid, deluded plan for fame and for someone to take care of **HER** when she is old and gray. I will NEVER forget the post-divorce Kate plus 8 episode about Battleships (and Barbers?) when Khate was in the stairwell of one of the battleships and said to one of the 'tup boys, "Are you going to take care of Mommy when she is old" ... or something to that effect. Its always about HER HER HER. Khate deceives every bit of criticism hurled at her. Again, if given the power, she would be a despotic nut-jub just like Mohmar. That's the truth. She is vile. Mohmar was vile.
It should be Khate DESERVES every bit of criticism hurled at her.
I totally understand the outrage about this comparison. I've never seen any proof of Kadaffi beating his kids or disrepecting his spouse. He was a loving father and comparing him to Kate is disgusting.
Whether or not Kate is the equal of a third-world dictator does not matter. What she has done, willingly and intentionally, to the eight children she conceived purposefully as her ticket to fame and fortune is disgusting, and no one should feel badly about calling her out on it.
As the former child of a similarly narcissistic mother, I can tell you that the few times others saw through my flamboyant, self-serving, insensitive mother were also the moments I held onto, and they were what allowed me to become as whole a person as I am now. Without input from adults who saw my mother clearly, I might never have escaped our horribly damaging, dysfunctional relationship.
Kids always think it is their fault when they cannot satisfy parents like Kate. Those relationships are soul-sucking and terribly, terribly damaging. For at least some of Kate's children, blogs like this one may help to lay a foundation of strength to use in dealing with "Mommy Dearest", no matter how over-the-top the hyperbolic snark is.
The kids have the same options others do: if it is not helpful, don't read it. You can't censor an entire internet based on how someone *might* react. Kate made this world, and those kids have to live in it, for better or worse.
What is glaringly obvious to me is that Kate's view of the world is NOT the only one those children should find once they begin searching.
I didn't say it was unfair to compare her to Gaddafi. I said, or at least alluded, that it is damaging to children to read those sorts of things about their mother. You may feel she is cut of the same cloth as a murdering tyrant - I do not. But whether or not someone feels that is true, I don't believe it is helpful to the cause of the children for them to ever hear those things about their own mother.
Kate can stop a famous writer from making such comparisons. She could go away.
Maybe SHE should think about the consequences of being notorious. I don't buy blaming bystanders. We all know when you become a celeb, especially a notorious celeb, people will talk about you, crack jokes, make comparisons. The joke was funny. Kate darn well knows she and she alone put herself here, and when it got out of hand, she just wanted to be famous even MORE.

Whoa, JoJo, you're way off base here. His household was filled with violence, and only last year one of his maids was tortured with boiling water, thrown outside the house, and starved for weeks after she refused to beat one of Gadhafis'very young grandchildren.
She nearly died, is horribly disfigured, and can no longer grow hair on her horribly mangled scalp.
Maybe you were being sarcastic? Surely any reader of this blog is well-aware that photographs of Gadhafi surrounded with small children do not prove anything about how they, or women, were treated in his household.
Yes, I was being sarcastic.
Completely agree with Big to Differ's post at 38. People shouldn't have to censor everything they say about anyone in the public eye on the off chance that a child might see it. The internet, and life itself, is not Sesame Street. Parents should protect their children from the internet and adult conversations as they see fit. Kate can easily go in and use a simple computer program to block her name from the kids seeing sites about her. Or limit kids' internet time and sit with them when they're n it. Or better still she could go away.

#################
On the contrary, I think (as I wrote above, comment 38) that is can be, and often is, very helpful for children in abusive situations to realize that there are legions of people who do not think abuse and exploitation are right.
When your whole world is controlled by someone who is completely warped, it can make all the difference to realize that others feel very, very differently, and that their passion is just as strong as your mother's viciousness.
"You can't censor an entire internet based on how someone *might* react."
True. But each of us can censor what we say about others on the Internet.
_________
"Without input from adults who saw my mother clearly, I might never have escaped our horribly damaging, dysfunctional relationship."
But it is not our responsibility to let the Gosselin children know what their mother is or isn't - it is the responsibility of the other adults in their lives to love them and help them deal with any difficulties that Kate may cause for them.
We talk often about parental alienation and how Kate throws Jon under the bus and how damaging it would be/is for the children to see or hear the things she says. Yet it's ok for strangers, who don't actually know her or really know what her relationship is with her children, to compare her to a murderer?

So glad to hear this, Jojo, but not sorry I wrote the rebuttal!

Where do you draw the line? Are shows like Saturday Night Live not okay because they have made fun of people, often a LOT of fun, who are moms and dads?
I love jokes and parodies and sketches and comedies. So much of it is poking fun. I actually think Kate might laugh at this. I believe it's okay to poke fun at ourselves and not take life so seriously.
Notasheeple, Kate is living her life in PUBLIC, and forcing her children to, also. As long as she is demanding public attention, their lives will play out on strangers' screens. Admin is right, she could go away, and none of this would be an issue.
Until then, people like me are going to continue to believe that it is a good thing that those children have advocates who stand against the daily, public, destruction of their childhoods.
Hyperbole is a common discussion technique, not an academic analysis of a set of specific details vs a second set. Kate asked for this; Kate can stop it.
JoJo 37
Thanks for the laugh! Too, too funny!
What exactly does Kate need a week off from? She needs time off from her busy schedule of not working? From driving to the UPS store in her Audi to pick up packages from UK schoolchildren?
I completely agree with Layla, CC is finding out the hard way that Kate does not promote anything but herself. She will take the paycheck until they get sick of her not doing her job, just like all the other companies Kate has left in her wake.
I seriously hope Jason "Hueman" has finally realized that Kate is a big, ungrateful waste of time and money and continues his "Houdini" act. I am shocked that he still kept doing her hair for free after Kate walked out of his salon last year without thanking any of the mediocre people and without tipping them. I can't help but wonder if TLC always stepped in to clean up her me$$es and now that they don't, Jason is realizing what a grifting, selfish leech she is. classless has-been
While I don't think 2012 holds much promise or prosperity for Kate, I wish all the Gosselin kids the very best. They deserve it. As they get older and wiser, it's getting harder for Kate to snow them with her poison tongue and her gimme a handout lifestyle. With the help of their father and their paternal family, they will do just fine. The lack of any type of substantial job combined with her extravagant lifestyle hopefully will help her lose her luster with the judge.
As far as the comparasions to Gaddafi, on the surface I think this sums up what type of image Kate has projected and has carved out for herself. She can claim it's "media perseption" and she can blame it on editing all she wants. This is her true self, according to practically anyone who has EVER come in contact with her. Public and private citizens. ONLY after her show was canceled and her 57th pink iPhone only emitted crickets- did she realize maaaaybe she's a bit unlikable. THEN she tried to say that she's just a peach of a gal and people love her and are shocked when they meet her in person. Even she gave up on that one quickly. She became famous being a bitch and she wants to continue her fame being bitchy.
I hope all of you had a wonderful Holiday, and I wish you all a very happy, healthy, safe 2012! 2011 was kind of crazy, I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for us! :)
Well said I Beg To Differ 38. I completely agree with you.
What card will she play in 2012 I mean what does she have left that the world wants to see.?
My hairdresser is on twitter but when I need an appointment I use the telephone and schedule one with the shop's receptionist.
It looks like she has an exclamation point after every single sentence in her latest blog post. She has to mention how she never gets many (or even any) presents for Christmas and this was the first time she got something from the kids.
And, of course, she totally controls the present opening---each child can only open a gift when Kate announces it is time to open ONE gift. Good lord.
The fact that the writer has put Kate in the same sentence as Gadhafi says a lot. Kate has wanted publicity and now she has it; the wrong kind. Well, we have commented time and time again about Kate's behavior and that behavior got her in the same sentence has a murderer. She made her bed, now she's getting what she deserves.
"My hairdresser is on twitter but when I need an appointment I use the telephone and schedule one with the shop's receptionist."
Lol - that's the way we "mediocre" people do it.
But she's SPECIAL, you know? lol
"Kate asked for this; Kate can stop it."
So because Kate asked for it and has the ability to stop it (to which I do not disagree), it makes it ok for the rest of the world to be accessories to damaging the mental health of 8 children? I think it would be far more damaging for a child to read the hurtful things that are said about Kate on blogs than it is for her to Tweet and blog about their lives. So if we continue to say hateful things about her and use the excuse "she asked for it", how does that excuse the fact that there are 8 children who love and depend on her?
_____________________________
"Where do you draw the line? Are shows like Saturday Night Live not okay because they have made fun of people, often a LOT of fun, who are moms and dads?"
I enjoy parody and poking fun as well. But with Kate the joke is specifically comparing her parenting to ________ (in this case, the extremely violent, murdering rampages of a dead dictator.) That's the difference between this and an SNL sketch that makes fun of someone who just happens to be a parent.
____________________________
"Parents should protect their children from the internet and adult conversations as they see fit. Kate can easily go in and use a simple computer program to block her name from the kids seeing sites about her. Or limit kids' internet time and sit with them when they're n it."
Yes, it is Kate's responsibility to protect her children from reading things on the internet. Hopefully she does do this at home. But as has been pointed out in previous conversations, the kids, especially the twins, are going to have access very soon to the Internet outside of their home, if they don't already. And just because they aren't reading it now doesn't mean they won't see it in a few years, and that it won't be hurtful to them then.
I don't have anything more to add notasheeple except I disagree with that.

Just an FYI here--Gadahfi had eight children, too! And another two who were adopted. Does that mean that nobody should print anything negative (but true) about their dad? Sure, he did some horrible things, but does he get a pass because he had innocent children? I think not!

************************************************
Yeah, she's special alright...
Kate is the one who put those kids in the limelight. Now she must be the one to take the responsibility for it. This is totally her doing and she will soon know the heartache of what she has done. If they see anything hurtful, its because Kate has put them in that situation by putting a camera in their faces. No one would be talking about "Kate Gosselin" if she choose to keep herself out of the public eye...then her kids would not be reading terrible things about her....It's as simple as that.... so please don't blame anyone else for "reacting" to what that idiot has done...
Maybe it would be more concise to compare Kate to a bad case of hemorrhoids than to Gadhafi. A pain in the ass with a tendency to recur.
As for her kids reading all about their mother on the internet...they won`t read anything they don`t already know about her first hand. Sad but true.
BTW...sure missed you guys. Seasons Greetings to each and every one of you.
Well, I'm sure Kate anyway reads this blog. If the kids do, that's her fault. She put them in the limelight (Kat- 62)
Her post- Xmas blog on her site is full of 'answering back' to comments made here.
To Notasheeple (#39): The 8 Go$$elin kids need to see/hear/read the TRUTH about their insufferable, a-hole of a "mother" (the term "mother"is used VERY loosely for the nit-wit Khate). I am not going to temper my words for the sake of the Go$$elin 8, because they need to know the TRUTH. ( I think, deep down, the Go$$elin 8 know the TRUTH about their a-hole of a "mother" but are too little emotionally and legally to do anything about it yet). Does everyone remember the HORRENDOUS scene of Jon dropping the kids off at the witch's McMansion a summer or two ago and the GO$$ELIN 8 WAILING AND WAILING UNCONTROLLABLY at the prospect of being returned to that witch of a poor-excuse-of a "mother". It was heartbreaking and the SOBS AND WAILS AND CRIES of the Go$$elin 8 spoke volumes. Administrator, can you run that PATHETIC big blue bus drop-off clip again? Let me make it clear, I **DO** believe, given the disgusting, demonic, narcissistic personality traits that Khatezilla Gro$$elin has exhibited in the past AND CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT to this day, that Katie Irene Kreider Gosselin WOULD act just as despicably ON A LARGER SCALE if given the POWER and the CHANCE. Wake up to the real TRUTH about this vile, poor-excuse of a piece of humanity. I know what this vile idiot would be capable of. Katie Irene Kreider Gosselin is not fooling me. Maybe she is fooling you. Not me.
This just makes me so sad.
I also agree to disagree.
63- Auntie Ann -Well said and Seasons Greetings to you! : )
Oh by the way when it comes to the kids in my view they are off limits making any kind Of joke like this. What's good for the adult who got herself into this wouldn't be the same to me for the kids. Apples and oranges.

Completely agree with you. There is no excuse for adults to behave this way and all the rationalization and deflection in the world won't change that fact.
Not a Sheeple- These kids live with Kate's horrible antics, much of which I am sure we are not even aware of. I don't think any single one of them would be surprised, but rather will feel validated by anything posted here. She has always put herself first before her kids or her marriage- all about Kate.
There is nothing we are posting here that the kids have not lived through. Comparisons- who cares- kids will draw their own conclusions and recognize it for satire, once they are old enough to view internet. Please stop with the drama. Humor was the intent of the post and it IS funny.
To Anonymous (#69) and Notssheeple (#57): The reason that these "8 children...love and depend on her" (the witch) is because these 8 manufactured-for-fame multiples have Stockholm Syndrome. If you do not know what that is, look it up. Again, Katie Irene Kreider Gossein is not fooling me. Maybe she is fooling you. The 8 manufactured kids need to know the truth about their fake/phony/psychopath of a "mom".
There is such a difference between hahaha Kate and a dictator. And being serious about it. It's a JOKE.

====================
I only skimmed through Kate's last book at a dollar store, but weren't there some very negative comments in there about her children? Will the kids read those books? Will they view the videos in which THEIR OWN MOTHER called the boys icky, told her son that she didn't even want to hear him breathe, made her husband take an impacted child to the van to be relieved of a problem...will they see photos of her smacking a child over a whistle incident, or listen to her making snide comments about their father?
Who will protect them from all of that? I would think that these things coming from THEIR OWN MOTHER would be far more hurtful than anything they might read on blogs.
To Anonymous (#73): Clearly, you still do not se the Truth about Katie Irene Kreider Gosselin, do you? You probably never will see the truth about that witch. What will it take to open your eyes?
Notasheeple 45 -- I understand the point you are trying to make. I disagree with you, but I understand you. The reason I disagree is this: When Kate throws Jon under the bus, this is the childrens' MOTHER making vile, undeserved, and false statements about their FATHER in a very public manner. We don't know for a fact that she says these things directly to the children too, but, based on past performance -- well documented -- it's reasonable to believe that she does. When we make snarky comments about Kate on this blog, it is as one adult talking with other adults. We are strangers to the children, and, although they MAY, someday see these comments, they also may never see them. What one parent says about the other parent, and the way one parent behaves toward the other parent, will carry far more weight in the childrens' minds and hearts. To me, that makes all the difference in the world.

Kate if you're going to read and post here at least have the courage to use your real name and stop hiding behind Anonymous.

Did you happen to read Rule 1 on this blog?
Two sheeple posting here in one day creates so much drama. I am finding it kind of amusing. Almost as amusing as the story that compares Kate to Gadhafi. I have to wonder what Kate would be like if she was the ruler of a small country. Would she have been as power hungry as Gadhafi? Would she justified the abuse of her subjects? Would she abuse her nanny as much as Gadhafi's wife did?

Rule number 1 about posting here:
1. Do not use Anonymous. Pick a name (click Name/URL to type in a name) and stick to the same name.
Please pick a user name and stick with it.
I'm not sold so much on the "kids will feel validated" theory as much as the journalist is me is never, ever going to be okay with an excuse like "well their kids might see it" as a reason not to criticize a public figure, especially a public figure who is doing something wrong. Satire IS criticism, just a way to make you laugh while doing it. I have been sort of conditioned that there are very few reasons not to criticize. I have ben conditioned that the best thing about America is its dissenting voices.
I always remember what a pastor of mine said about dissent. Growing up we had one of the best pastors we could dream of at my little church. He wanted a small town, old (19th century) little church and had turned down higher paying higher profile positions for us. We of course grabbed him just like that. When the pastor nominating committee voted for him, we expected it to be unanimous. But instead, there was one dissenting vote.
After ten years in the church when he left, he tearfully said, whoever you are, thank you so much for that "no" vote. He didn't really go into it, but I get what he meant by that. Anyway, point is, it's okay to have dissent about Kate. And it's okay to have dissent about dissent about Kate, lol! But what's not okay, is to try to shut down dissent.
As someone raised by a narcissist mother, let me just validate what someone else said: those kids have already seen the absolutely worst of their mother. They see it on a regular basis. Probably worse behavior than the public has seen. Anything they read on the Internet, because she CHOSE to make their lives public, will be nothing compared to what they know and what they've seen.
And please remember it was Kate herself who said repeatedly she doesn't care what the cameras show, and doesn't care what people think. Their own mother didn't care to protect them. THAT will always be their biggest heartbreak. Any anonymous words on the Internet commenting on her behavior will pale in comparison to the hurt they've experienced directly from their mother.
All these crocodile tears for the children are pointed in the wrong direction. Weep because they live with an iron-fisted cruel selfish "mother" who has shown time and time again that she is not concerned with them beyond their money-making abilities. Not because people have the presence of mind to POINT IT OUT.
LOL. I am not Kate. I suppose that your driver's license reads NJGal51? You are as anonymous as I am. How about you post under your real name if you expect that of others?

The point of not using anonymous is not to make people reveal who they are. The point is so comments are easier to read. COmments from A, B, C, A, A, B A, C are much easier to follow than comments from anonymous, anonymous, anonymous and anonymous.
Please respect the rules here.
A mother who publishes a picture of her children at a church service is very well aware of exactly what she is doing.
She has repeatedly said she knows the public is watching and may be judging. She has said she does not care. What that means, exactly, may be open to interpretation. But whatever the consequences are of her actions, she alone is responsible, not me and the viewing public. We're observers and commentators, she's the active decision-maker about what she will and will not make available to the public.
Well said, mim.
I wonder how KG is going to explain all the bad thing she said about their father and why she had to do it on TV or the internet what will she say.?
The show might have been her so called home video's they also maybe the reason she ends up all alone when the 8 grow up.
Everybody has an opinion. Big deal.
This is obviously not a pro-Kate blog. So don't expect this place to be a love-fest for that beastly woman. Expect Kate's feet to be held to the fire.
IMO, by the time the Gosselin kids are ready to research online about their narcissistic mother-I'm sure that it will not be a surprise to discover that countless people disliked her.
Don't blame the messenger. Blame fakin' Kate.
Yep, Kate's kids are going to be hard pressed to find a whole lot of favourable things said about her on the internet. Unfortunately the majority of what is written about her ANYWHERE is less than flattering. It's a good thing not everybody follows that old adage of 'if you can't say something nice keep you mouth shut'.... Otherwise there'd almost be a dead silence on the blogs that discuss Kate.
(Gosselin8ComeFirst 67 Thank you!)
To Administrator
Seriously, please do not publish any comments by posters which contain the word Anonymous.
While I don't agree with Anonymous or One Who Likes to Be Anonymous, but respect her/their right to her/their opinions, she/they need to show the same respect to us and follow the rules just like us mediocre people.
AuntieAnn, to be accurate, there would also be a lot of silence surrounding Kate if the mainstream media - not just personal blogs - adhered to the adage "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." The blogs are only a part of the negative reaction to KG, no matter what the fans would like to think.
hey Anonymous....I'll say what I want and call that monster anything I want..And there's really very little you can do about it so...I love talking like a 6 year old. That felt great!

Baloney. You, and you alone, are responsible for any over-the-top vitriolic remarks that you choose to make about the mother of eight young children in a place that they can read. Calling Kate a c*nt, for example, which has been said on more than one occasion here, is not "dissent." It is vile and unnecessary and anyone who chooses to make comments of that nature is responsible for those comments
***********************************************
And you and you alone are responsible for your blind faith in Kate Gosselin, so what? This is a blog about Kate Gosselin and her blatant exploitation of her eight children and we're all responsible for our opinions. I don't see the comments on Kate Gosselin as "vitriolic" and "over the top" I think they're the unvarnished opinions of the posters on this blog. I think you'll find we're a little harder to manipulate than the average poster on a Kate fan blog but good try at pushing our buttons.

What card will she play in 2012 I mean what does she have left that the world wants to see.?
=======================================
I originally posted this over at Pressi's, but this is what I think is coming from Kate in 2012.
I've always believed that Kate will save revealing their relationship for her "Hail Mary" pass. When nothing else is getting her any attention, she and Steve will call up that sycophantic witch, Kate Coyne, at People magazine and offer her an exculsive (because no one else would care). Next thing you know, we will see them on the cover, holding hands and smiling. The article inside will describe how they "fell in love unexpectedly" (well after the divorce from Jon) and maybe will treat us to some pics of the duo gazing lovingly at each other.
They might even throw in something about how Steve and Gina were going through a separation, and he turned to his friendship with Kate to help him through it. They were taken completely by surprise when they realized that they had feelings for each other. The kids, of course, will be "thrilled" by this new relationship since they have been begging Kate for a new daddy.
I will bet anything that we will see something like this in 2012.

I totally understand the outrage about this comparison. I've never seen any proof of Kadaffi beating his kids or disrepecting his spouse. He was a loving father and comparing him to Kate is disgusting.
_________________________________
ROFL! That was PRICELESS. I'm hoping you are my friend JoJo from a couple of years ago! And, if you are, you know who I am!
I agree, LBTA.
Just because Kate is the "most responsible" for any emotional damage her children have suffered because of being in the limelight does not mean that everyone else is off the hook. Just because people here are not critical of the children themselves does not mean that they're not harming them by speaking poorly (understatement) of their mother. Just because Kate has been pubicly crticial of Jon and that is "worse" than a stranger being critical of Kate does not mean that it doesn't hurt people to hear horrible things being said about their loved ones.
I am actually less bothered by the Gaddafi comparision than I am by some of the things I see said here about Kate, because the writer of that list isn't someone who actively participates in a forum that advocates for the Gosselin children. Yesterday evening Admin pointed out that this blog was not pro- or anti- anything except for pro-children. I believe that if we all really cared about the G8, we would choose our words wisely when we speak about their mother. She is a human being. She has 8 children who love her and depend on her. She has a mother and a father and siblings and an ex-husband who all, at one time at least, loved her. She has/had friends who love(d) her. Of course she has MANY faults but speaking so harshly about her will not ever help her overcome them and learn to be a better person. It will also not help her children.
My "tears" are for more than just how Kate treats her children, but for the entire situation. At the risk of creating more "drama", I will say that it does sadden me to see people here speak with such harshness and vitriol for Kate, and the fact that when that is pointed out, the poster who does so is met with almost equal harshness.
Happy holidays to everyone. Even Kate.
I agree with the poster above....just delete anyone who uses Anonymous as their name, regardless of their views. If they can't own it I'm not interested.
JoJo..you gave me my laugh for the day....Thanks...
AuntieAnn said... 63
Maybe it would be more concise to compare Kate to a bad case of hemorrhoids than to Gadhafi. A pain in the ass with a tendency to recur.
As for her kids reading all about their mother on the internet...they won`t read anything they don`t already know about her first hand. Sad but true.
BTW...sure missed you guys. Seasons Greetings to each and every one of you.

Oh please, your appeal to emotion isn't even worthy of a high school debating team, not to mention the strawman you're dragging through the movable goal posts.
Nota sheeple, as you can see, your attempts to shame people into never criticizing Kate have failed. C'est la vie!
Everyone else: her Christmas blog post is boring as HAIL. If you've read anything she's said on Twitter in the past few days, you've read it already. I. Fact, she should have titled it, "A Summary Of My Recent Twats."
Basically it was: material things, material things, material things, I bought my kids millions of material things, they can't stop thanking me! I'm so awesome and perfect! The end.
(My summary was more interesting, I guarantee it.) Poor thing, I wonder who she's trying so hard to convince?
With all the hate, critisim Kate has created, all by her own choice. If you put yourself out there, regardless for whatever reason, you have to except the fact that you will be critisized. Whether it be something small or big, somebody somewhere is going to see things that are not always right. If you don't want to be critisized, well, uh, gee don't put yourself in that position.
I am thinking since Kate seems to just say whatever comes to her mind regarding Jon, how to kids feel and so on, what is she going to do when the kids are all grown and possibly asked to give interviews? Or the kids eventually get to see things on the internet? She can protect them all she wants now but once they are adults it will be their choice. They might learn things that were different or not entirely as Kate claimed. She might be in a world of hurt. Thing is she doesn't thing long-term least I don't thing so.

Hey JudyK, thanks, missed you too. I haven't been around since the sudden, unexpected and tragic death of my computer a few months ago, for the second time this year. I was so mad I swore I wasn't going to be bothered with one anymore but my kids gifted me with a beauty of a netbook for Xmas, which was pretty darn nice of them. Glad you're all still here.
Good to see you AuntieAnn. Glad it was only your computer that passed.
What an interesting "debate" tactic: when out of options, just inexplicably claim you've been proved right. Ha!
Look, I don't bother your pro-Kate blog, so why don't you do us the same favor and head on back there? No one's listening to your weepy pleas on behalf of the child exploiter Kate Gosselin.
Really? I see we are back to deleting posts of anyone who disagrees. Fine....peace out.
Notasheeple, you started out fine then lost your temper. You are the reason that things are being deleted.
You can't hold your temper for 10 minutes and wait for me to see someone else's inappropriate comment and delete it. You can't hold your temper for 10 minutes and let the mod moderate. Until you do that, you're going to be deleted again and again when you explode.
Rhymes with Witch said... 104 Good to see you AuntieAnn. Glad it was only your computer that passed.

lol me too, thanks Rhymes!
Now I've got to go get something done around the house, I've been playing with this thing all day.
Admin - "explode?" Really. Really?
Sigh. Such hypocrisy.
There is no hypocrisy here. Everyone was getting along just fine until you showed up.
Look around--it's you, not us.
Get over it, Kate is a self-made shrew and due to that gets no respect from most people. We have seen and heard enough of her actions and words to know that 'what we saw is what we got'! So if we comment that we don't like, disapprove of, or are disgusted by any of it, so be it. That is our right and privilege as people who were hoodwinked into watching a show about a bunch of cute little kids that turned into a show about a bitch who demands control over everyone and everything in her vicinity.
To Notasheeple (96): You said Kate is a "human being"... SO WHAT?? She is a scummy, despicable poor-excuse of a "human being". Just because she is a "human being" does NOT garner her ANY respect because of what she has done with her life and to the 8 other human beings that she manufactured for her own fame and glory. So what if she is a "human being". She is not an innocent. Ted Bundy was a human being. A lot of good he did society. Lots of crummy, cruddy, scuzzy people are "human beings" who have LOST their right to respect because of their INHUMAN actions. And those 8 children that Katie Irene Kreider Gosselin manufactured (conceived) "love" and "depend on" her (make me barf) ONLY because they exhibit Stockholm Syndrome. I don't care if Khate Gro$$elin is a "human being". She is a vile, despicable, cruel, calculating, narcissistic, fame-whore of a "human being". Just because she is a "human being" does not get her off the hook for her despicable acts. Khate's innocent, helpless kids whom she manufactured need someone to advocate for them. Because those 8 kids cannot advocate for themselves (they are too young and have Stockholm Syndrome), we HAVE to tell the truth about the witch they live with. We are actually HELPING these 8 children by exposing what a vile fraud their "mother" ("captor" in Stolkholmm Syndrome-speak) is. Notasheeple, you will never see the truth about Khate, and the 8 children will suffer even more because YOU, Notasheeple, will not see the truth and expose Khate for the witch she is.
Read her Christmas blog and all I got out of it was that the kids thanked her over and over and over. Why is it so necessary for Kate to always make herself the CENTER of every event...even Christmas and church. It is not NORMAL for kids to thank their parent/parents while wildly opening their gifts on Christmas morning, and I don't believe for one second that they did. The thanks is in the look in their eyes, their hollering and yelling...not a FORMAL thank you Mommy...no kid does that. Kate is so constantly and forever self-centered and full of B.S. that I can't stomach one thing about her. "Rearranging the Deck Chairs," you've GOT HER NUMBER.
The kids seems to thank KG for everything and I do mean everything. Which is funny since it doesn't seem that she doesn't thank anyone unless it involves her some how or some way.
Oh, just a P.S. to my previous post. Kate, do YOU thank each one of the twitter TWEENS you have manipulated gifts from? No, you don't...not even publicly. They have to ask if you ever received what they sent, yet you are sure to inform the ENTIRE WORLD how grateful each and every one of your children is for every tiny little thing you bestow upon them...things that every NORMAL parent automatically does out of love without expecting anything in return. I guess what I'm trying to say is, KATE, YOU SUCK.
I want to make it very clear that I am not disparaging any person who attempts assisted reproduction techniques (insemination, in vitro fertilization, etc) as a means to have a family. The overwhelmingly VAST majority of people who use assistive reproductive techniques are lovely, devoted people who want to nurture a child and raise them. That situation is in in DIRECT CONTRAST to what Khatezilla Gro$$elin did. She inappropriately and in a calculated fashion got on fertility meds and DID manufacture those 8 kids ...sad to say... in the hopes of having multiples and in the hopes of garnering fame and fortune on their backs. I have GREAT respect for those who need to use fertility treatments to have a family. I have NO respect, in contrast, for Khatezilla, whose kids were just pawns in her master plan.
LOL, Chefsummer, you posted what I said while I was still typing.
With the demise of a fan blog, I think there are going to be more ... feisty ... debates here. They'll toddle off to IW and then all will balance out.
As much as a fan is entitled to applaud and defend Kate, I am entitled to dislike her and vocalize it.
And as far as calling Kate a c*nt (I'll echo the poster's term out of respect for Admin's blog tone), that doesn't happen at this blog, and it's rabble-rousing at best to come here and try to toss that out as a call to outrage. At other blogs, yes, it's accepted; not here.
I personally get more offended at adult women telling other adult women they have a "potty mouth." I am an adult and can use any term I please, thank you. I choose not to out of respect for people on this blog who might be offended.
And "tears"? Get some perspective. Shed tears for children in Somalia, not overpriviledged children from Upper Middle Class, Pennsylvania.
I wouldn't feel too sorry for Jason Hueman, KT's hairdresser. He has taken on such women as Michale Salahi, NHODC? and other women in the biz to get attention for his salons.I would feel badly for the people that did most of the work and didn't even get a tip.Hopefully, he gave them the tips owed and kept the insults to a minimum . Yeah, right.

I agree 100%. I dont use cuss words on this blog because of the tone Admin sets. I have never seen anyone use cuss words here. You have to be careful about where you use cuss words. Its ok to use them on some places but not others. You have to know your audience before you start to use them.
Two things, mim:
There is a poster here whose name is "She is Such a C Word." I can't speak for Anonymous (who is the one who brought it up), but I would say that is calling Kate a c**t.
When I said "tears" earlier (post #96), I purposely put it in quotes because of Dallas Lady's reference to crocodile tears (post #83.) I am not literally crying for anyone involved with the Gosselins, and I am well aware of the perspective that should be taken when it comes to them compared to children around the world suffering really horrific things. If you re-read that post, you will see that my point was that Kate is not the only one doing harm to her children and that their entire story is sad, not that I was crying for Kate.

=========
I'm not so concerned about her making herself the center of every event as I am why she has to make the events of the day available for public consumption. I haven't read it, and don't plan to read it. I am curious, though, why she can't keep anything private. Why is there a need to tell the public about her Christmas? I know that with FB, Twitter and social networking there has been more and more private life exposed to anyone who wants to look. But why can't Kate keep anything to herself? Just this once it would have been nice not to make a family day, a sacred holiday, a public expose that anyone could access. I'd love to hear from a psychologist on this. Does she feel she owes her sheeple something? Is this common with narcissists? Will nothing in her life that involves her kids ever remain private?
I can curse like a sailor and do, in certain select situations. I can turn it on and off. I'm a big girl and don't need to be told what is appropriate. Here, I don't do it. For a variety of reasons--namely, I don't think they make your points stronger and it offends too many to be worth it. I'm sure others here can curse like a sailor but respect the environment here and don't. It's all about context. This goes to the straw man argument. There is one person here, one, who says a bad word--but blocks out the bad word. 99% here don't curse let alone call Kate bad names. Complete misrepresentation of everything I've tried to make this blog, as per the usual. It's hard to debate with someone who is misrepresenting how things are--hint, it usually just ticks the other person off.
Kateplus8 might have lasted longer, if Kate wasn't such a publicity whore.The tv viewers would have been more forgiving, if she had shown that she could co-parent with Jon and not throw him under the bus every chance she got.
Kate wanted all the world to see how wonderful she thought she was, with not once thinking what her antics meant for Jon and the kids.Selfish, ignorant, nasty fame- ho with delusions of grandeur. Kate really thought she was 'star' material and was well on her way to being the next huge hit in Hollywood or tv or anything.
That's what happens when you start believing your own press!
I only feel sorry for the kids, because what we have seen of her in public is mild to their real world, without cameras around.I shudder to think what she does when there is no one to censor her behavior.

Let's see. I think I will go on national television and portray myself as a screeching banshee who belittles my husband, has a militant/prison guard iron-fist with my children, and throw numerous temper tantrums when things don't go my way....and the world is going to LOVE ME!!!!
Yeah. Let's see how that works out for ya.
She made her bed with how she chose to be seen on television, now she must face the consequences.
She.Chose.All.Of.This.
A thank-you means nothing if you have to ask for it.I much prefer what I got Christmas morning.My grandson tore open his present,after we told him he didn't have to be so careful. He raised both arms over his head and shouted 'YES!'He then tore off down the hallway in a victory lap ,while doing his version of the 'happy dance.'Then, I got a big hug and he said 'it was just what I wanted.'
Now, that was worth 5,oooo of Kate's asked for thank-yous!

Because a narcissist has to be front & center of everything.
I also read Kate's Christmas blog (Preesi posted it).
The only thing that was missing from her post was an appearance from the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
Feh... What a load of dookie.
I feel sad that the kids don't believe in Santa. I guess she once again has to be the one to get all the attention. I didn't read her blog, but it seems that if the kids are thanking her they know there's no Santa. I read in the past that she and Jon told them there was no Santa and there had been issues at the kids' school with them ruining Xmas for their friends. What's wrong with a little make believe and magic for awhile?
LOL. I am not Kate. I suppose that your driver's license reads NJGal51? You are as anonymous as I am. How about you post under your real name if you expect that of others?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Nobody here expects others (plural) to post under a real name, nor is it a posting requirement. The comment was a rhetoric one directed at Kate, and Kate alone. The comment was that Rule Number One should be followed, which, of course, is not to use anonymous, or at least to use a sig line at the end of the post. It makes it so much easier to respond to posts when not everyone commenting is that nebulous "anonymous."
My recommendation - don't get into a twist about kart's comments that her kids thanked her.
Keep in mind this truth:
If she is speaking, she is lying. If she is blogging, she is lying.
We have absolutely NO PROOF (film/video) that those kids thank her, only her word that they do.
Ergo, I don't believe for one millisecond that they 'thanked her' like she blogged - she made the whole thing up to make herself look like supermom. Wait, I have to gag a little here....
We know that at least one of the twins has called her 'mean' on film. I suspect there is a lot more of that off camera nowadays. I suspect that those kids give her as much grief as they can, and she deserves every snark they throw her way.
I should be clear also - I don't want, nor should we want, any 'film/video' of the kids. I only mentioned that because in the absence of visual, contemporaneous proof, I always conclude SHE IS LYING!
I remember that shortly after the media storm began, after Us magazine's outing of Jon's extramarital flings, that Kate said something along the lines of "we signed up for a little reality show, not the paparazzi". As is so typical of a narcissist. she wanted to reap the rewards of fame and infamy, without the bothersome criticism and the magnifying glass view of her abominable behavior.
Like many narcissists, she is an unbelievably polarizing figure, who brings out the worst in everyone she touches and draws controversy and drama wherever she goes. I, personally, fall squarely in the camp of those who say that the ongoing documentation of her exploitation and generally miserable existence will be a validation for many or all of her children. They do not deserve the empty shell that is their mother--no child does!
She has earned every bit of criticism that we care to throw her way and I understand and share the outrage expressed by admin and many of the regular contributors. I appreciate the genuinely intelligent humor that springs from our shared exasperation that Kate has benefited so richly at the expense of her children's childhood. I appreciate the posters that take the time to formulate their thoughts and resist going for the easy score of profanity and rants. While, in the short term, a rant may be very satisfying, it reflects much more on the author than the subject.
This blog is my guilty pleasure--I was getting concerned at the progressively toxic posts today and appreciate that admin is doing her job, very, very, well!
There is no hypocrisy here. Everyone was getting along just fine until you showed up.
Look around--it's you, not us.
Let's face it. That's what they are known for...stirring the pot. They find a blog, try to get bloggers worked into a frenzy, and then go back to their own kind and brag about how they got the "haters" riled up.
My suggestion. Don't respond. Don't give them the time of day. It will make them madder than a mosquito in a mannequin factory. "I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!"
Sincere gratitude comes from inside of the children’s souls; we can see it in their eyes! Sincere gratitude, thankful heart, if not frightened by tactless words, will eventually result in the development of a human quality, which we call culture. Each cultural man is polite and his politeness comes natural way, from heart. But if we forget these basics and, instead, focus on single politeness, everyday and every hour watch our child for his manners, we risk to develop in the child artificial politeness and a cynical attitude to people. “I smile to you, I say thank you, but, in fact, I don’t really care of you and your feelings,” that is what the child may learn, if we rush to impart in him good manners without being tactful ourselves.
I agree- I just recently joined this blog and was pleased at the accepting atmosphere as a heated subject is discussed and even laughed about. I think we all share a common concern for the children and a dislike of Kate's actions and behavior. I think the nasty posts of today are divisive and unnecessary to make a point.
That said, why I was posting now was to mention that Kate claims in her blog that she usually receives little(so sad) for Xmas so her 'thoughtful' kids bought the panini maker. Huh. She also sneaked in that she received some flowers( isn't that a gift?) as a thank you from someone- for what, idk...Another picture of the kids admiring the new fish- remember the fate of the hermit crabs...and Nala?
The tree and the presents also can be seen in the background....
I for one do think the kids thank her profusely. I have always thought that the kids were much more savvy than they were portrayed on the TV show. I think they are smart enough to know that the thank yous are something that she needs as a fulfillment of sorts and they are more than happy to give them if it makes their mom happy.
I believe Kate reads here. Kate is the "Puppet" and this blog is the "Puppet Master" She addresses all of the issues brought up here.
NotaSheeple, you really take the cake. Kate tells everyone, on a regular basis, how her children love to watch their shows over and over again. Picture it. The children just went happily along, "living their (real) lives in front of the camera," but when their memories are cued up, they get to see all of this couch footage that they never really knew existed. Do you remember some of the comments?
Do you remember the hurtful comments (by both Kate and Jon, directed toward their children AND each other) from that couch? Do you remember those magic moments of "Mommy and Daddy will be together forever" or, more recently, "I don't see why HE should have ANY say over how my kids are raised"? Only two examples. As we all know, there are 1000s of these and they weren't all left on the cutting-room floor. It makes me wonder if Kate has some "uneditorialized" version of her children's childhoods that she plugs into the family DVD player. Because if she's showing them the episodes as TLC made them, then comments from people like us will truly be the very least of her (or the children's) problems.
My guess is that after having been forced to watch, repeatedly, the utter fabrication that was their lives for 5 years, those children will be running as far and as fast from any commentary about their family as they can. With good reason. And it won't have anything to do with this blog or people having opinions about the person who turned their lives into a circus and has never looked back.
When she goes away we will go away... it's as simple as that :)
I wonder do the 8 believe in the Easter bunny or do that think mommy lay's egg.
I am smacking myself for having read her Christmas Blob, er, Blog.
Stupid, stupid kHate.
Always has to be in control,,,,and the center of attention.
Has she not learned that kids love to be 'helpers?' Instead of kHate handing out the presents,,,,,why not assign this fun and important task to her in-house elves???? Truly, I think that my grandkids get a bigger thrill being in charge of passing out the gifts than they do opening their own.
And, hey, kHate,,,,what happened to your ironclad tradition of serving sticky buns on Christmas morning?
I have this image in my head ( no thanks to Kate herself ).
Remember the episode at the old house, where a dresser knob came off and was in the boys room, and Kate found out and flipped out on the boys?
I picture her spazzing out this same exact way in front of all eight, screaming at them about being ungrateful ( what little kids aren't at that age? ) because she had to cook, clean, etc, you know...the stuff people sign up for when they CHOOSE TO HAVE KIDS. I imagine her eyes bugged out, anger so deep her face is contorted and teeth knashed together, waving that plastic red spoon in their faces ( or even whacking them with it ), and going on and on and on about how ungrateful they are.
I picture the kids so traumatized by her rage that this is why they now ( supposedly ) thank her for every little thing she does.
"Thank you, mother, for making me breakfast."
"Thank you, mother, for giving birth to me."
"Thank you, mother, for allowing me to breathe the same air as you."
I do think those kids are scared to death about pissing her off. They KNOW one of her hot buttons for erupting is feeling like she isn't thanked enough, so they go overboard to keep her satisfied. I recall Mady thanking her for a freaking sandwich, but what was so weird was she said it EXACTLY how Christina Crawford thanked Joan.
And I bet those boys have a deep seated fear of dresser knobs now.

"We know that at least one of the twins has called her 'mean' on film. I suspect there is a lot more of that off camera nowadays. I suspect that those kids give her as much grief as they can, and she deserves every snark they throw her way."
--------------------------
I am just wondering if any of us told either of our parents that they were "mean," like Mady did Kate that time Kate didn't give her some water, and took a sip of her own water in front of Mady.
I would never have dreamed of telling either of my parents that I thought they were mean, and none of my kids ever called me mean, though we all may have thought that at different times.
It just seems kids talk to their parents much differently than kids used to. It seems so very disrespectful to tell a parent that they are mean, even if they are.
Why do kids these days talk to adults that way? It is just wrong, at least, I think it is wrong.
Gosh I couldn't agree more with that blog article. Hit the nail on the head. Children who are constantly admonished about manners might very well end up insincere and unable to process what real gratitude is. It emphasizes being positive--not admonishing a kid when they forget, but rather, letting them know ahead of time what is polite, and SHOWING them through your actions how to be polite. By being polite to others. It all goes back to kids are watching you. Watching the things that you do. My dad is quite possibly the gentlest man I have ever met. He grew up, and practically helped raise, a disabled sibling. I don't recall hearing him tell me say please, say thank you. But watching how he treats that sibling, and others, taught me far more than I'm sure nagging ever would. I also grew up with someone, thankfully not a parent, who constantly did that to every child around them. I don't feel anything all that sincere for them. Was it because I was constantly on my toes about manners over there? I'm sure that's part of it.
I figure those people who say "hi how are you?" and keep on walking like they don't care, because they don't, feel that's just good manners. Personally, I don't want you to ask people how they are unless you sincerely care. I'd rather you don't say anything. It's not really sincere either when a kid is just saying thank you to appease you. And finally, although there is nothing wrong with thank you, there are other ways to express your love and gratitude besides "thank you." I love this idea of love languages and not everyone if very verbal like that when it comes to conveying emotions.
It just seems kids talk to their parents much differently than kids used to. It seems so very disrespectful to tell a parent that they are mean, even if they are.
Why do kids these days talk to adults that way? It is just wrong, at least, I think it is wrong.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you have a parent who is abusive or even just treating you "mean", I have zero problem with a kid standing up for themselves. Even saying, You're mean. Because otherwise they're just going to end up beaten down and demoralized and feeling helpless. At least if they can express how they are feeling they have something they can control. I don't like this idea of I'm the parent what I say goes--even if you are abusive, mean, denying your child water while you sip away? That isn't right.
Abused kids actually often find it very liberating to confront their parent. Therapists often recommend they confront them, though usually in a therapeutic setting.
Why do kids these days talk to adults that way? It is just wrong, at least, I think it is wrong.
=============
That's a sign of respect kids talk back that's normal. However a kid that say anything to their parent has little or no respect.
I was just thinking about NE Psychologist and Bluenoser, haven't heard much from either of you lately.
Hope you both have a happy Christmas season snd wish you all the best in the New Year.I brought this over from the last thread, where I put it accidentally, sorry.
Welcome, back Auntie Ann. Nice to have you back.I haven't seen Teresa- are you out there, sista?? Hope to hear from you soon.
Anonymous 80 - LOL. I am not Kate. I suppose that your driver's license reads NJGal51? You are as anonymous as I am. How about you post under your real name if you expect that of others?
*****************************************
I've been posting as NJGal51 since coming to this blog. I'm a NJ gal born in 1951. Although my driver's license has my given name, my license plate has a variation of the name I use here although I don't live in NJ any more. Many of my friends call me "Jersey". If Admin wanted to know my real name she'd ask me to send her an email and I'd happily comply. Follow the rules and pick a name or if you must use Anonymous, sign your post at the bottom as other do. You've come over just to stir the pot. Go home.
To Notasheeple: I don't know which side of the fence your on. But this is a fact: Kate said: Our show is the realist of reality shows. Since, Kate made that statement, all or most of us, except sheeple, have seen Kate for who she really is, her true color, and it is not white(pure). For you to say: we should not talk about Kate so hard, is a joke. Kate did what Kate wanted to do and say. If she does not like it, or anyone does not like the what people say about her here, Kate can stop and the people who come here, can go else where or better yet, spend time with your own family and kids(if you have them). I have a very small family left, I come here cause I wish those kids were mine, can't stand the way she treats them or goes on about herself. I have pets, who I probably spend more time with than Kate spends with just one of her kids. Kate also did lots of interviews, TV Talk and people who have delt with her and lived or still live near her spoke on some blog sites and by her own admission on twitter and her blogs. Much to Kate's dislike and her saying that: only believe what she says is truth, everything else is a lie on the internet: so does that mean that, the interviews that she has done are BS. Is she calling herself a liar? (of which we have called her on her own twits and interviews)Kate does not think, before she tries to explain or talk.
Yes, at some point those older kids are going to look themselves up, and momma. It will be a rude awaking, for them, let's just hope Jon can be there to catch them.
Yes, we don't know her or live in her house. But, we have seen, read and watched Kate, her action and re-actions or lack of. I will repeat again: according to Kate: Ours is the realist of reality shows! need I say more?
Why does Kate always say she has exciting things planned?
Way I look at is, something exciting should be a once in a while thing with her it seems to be constant. To outdo the thing they did yesterday. Living life large.
I wish she would take a break and have a boring day. The more she has the grand ideas of things to do the more her kids as they get older are going to constantly want, want, want and not be satisfied with a quiet evening perhaps. But I don't think Kate will ever be satisfied with a basic day maybe.
My day is pretty darn boring to say the least without being in class. I couldn't imagine living life on the edge of excitement all the time. It's fun once in a while sure but does she not have that boundary?
She may be exaggerating but OTOH, years of filming events and trips especially set up for the family has set the "excitement" bar pretty high.
Now that TLC is out of their lives, Kate is forced to keep her kids entertained during their vacations all on her own. At least now they're finally getting to experience some of the more normal childhood activities with friends, instead of being constantly whisked away to be put to work.
It's about damn time.
Hahaha, Kate, the uber-running-extraordinaire person-ish, doesn't know that a 5k race is 3.1 miles. She told some poor kid it's 3.6 miles - but she CAN DO IT! Someone asked what shoe she uses and she mentioned a sort of mediocre (gasp!) shoe but said she's trying Brooks, which is a great shoe. That nitwit obviously hasn't even gone to a running store to have them assess her gait and stride and instep/shape so they can advise her exactly which shoe to wear, because they are EXPERTS. And yet people come to her for nursing advice too. Boggles the mind.

Kate reported on twitter that CC "gave [her] the week off." I find this odd as the week after Christmas is still a heavy shopping week what with people off, returning items for different ones, and going out to get in on all the post-Xmas sales. I am wondering if they canned her for real. her entire blog was about HER - nothing to do with using and benefiting from coupons or promoting CC.

Hmmm was he even talking to Kate...
I for one appreciate the clean language here. Preesi has good stuff, but I don't wish to wade through language I personally find offensive.
I feel sad for Kate. She is a lost soul and probably truly scared about her future. I feel more bad for her kids. I don't think 2012 is going to be kind to any of them.
http://mybipolarmother.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/the-letter/
This young man's letter to his dad about why he is estranging his mother is fascinating. The boys will one day be writing this. Only it will say, Dear Steve.
OOPS! I went on a tear above (@150) as to how I've always signed in as NJGal51 but when I signed in I made a type and signed in as NJGal41. Is my face red! Proof, proof, proof before hitting publish.
chefsummer, nope he wasn't. And I went to his feed to read all his tweets and he asked her if he was going to see her before Christmas when she responded to some other tweet of his and she didn't answer.
Now she's responding with I miss yous to other random tweets he sends out and he hasn't responded.
I really think they've told her the comped hair service days are over. She might try to sweet talk her way into ---oh HAHAHA what am I talking about? She's incapable of sweet talking anyone!
Did anyone notice someone tweeted her asking if she's seen this site and they put the link? It just had realitytvkids.com and she responded with no, something about small-minded negativity? Well, that gave her away. She obviously does know this site. Otherwise, how would she know it was against her exploiting lying ways? The title of the blog itself is fairly neutral.
She knows it. She reads here. She's so transparent.
One of my very best friends is also my hairdresser. My old hairdresser moved, and so I started to go to my friend's shop. It would never once occur to me to expect a free haircut from her. For Christmas she gives me a gift certificate for one free cut, but that's a different story. I can't imagine making the assumption that the other ones throught the year should even be discounted because she and I are close friends. I want my good friends to make a decent living.
"throught" is not even a word. Let's try
"throughout" instead.
I am with those who appreciate a blog where foul language is not tolerated. I personally view curse words as verbal violence. Cursing is using certain words as weapons in an attempt to hurt and harm others. They can be used effectively to shut someone down much as a slap to the face would do, so I am grateful to read a blog where respectful language is preferred.
"I am with those who appreciate a blog where foul language is not tolerated. I personally view curse words as verbal violence. "
You and I have vastly different views on foul language. I think that its the intent of the word and not the word itself that makes it hurtful. One example is saying f- you when talking to some vs saying F- when jamming your finger in a door. I dont mind it when I know its not directed at anyone in particular and I know that the person who used it is in a lot of pain. When using the internet, its important to remember that some words are hurtful in one region and not another one. Fag is used in Great Britten as a term for a cigarette. Its a hurtful term here in the U.S. The full definition for a faggot is a bundle of sticks. So the UK term is more fitting of the definition. Another example is Piker or Pikey. The actual definition is gambler who makes small beats or a stingy person. Its used by some in reference to irish travelers (gypsies).
That being said, I dont use foul language here. Its not written in the rules but its inferred in rule 3. I could tell from reading the first few posts that most people here dont use it. I decided to respect that and not use it in my posts.
I just got through reading this entire post with a full day's worth of comments. The post itself was funny, and I thought I was in for some light and entertaining reading. However, I soon realized that this "Notasheeple" seems to have monopolized the conversation here for the better part of the day. Thanks so much for working better than Tylenol PM! As usual, though, my fellow posters here had wonderfully thoughtful, reasonable responses.
What a coincidence that on the very day a sheeple blog shuts down, we have a person calling herself "Notasheeple" posting here about ten or more times, monopolizing the conversation. Things that make you go "Hmmm...."
You know what I wish for the Gosselin 8 in 2012? That we're wrong.
I wish that Kate were really an engaged, loving mother, that she's just "edited" badly, has low blood sugar, and her head is sometimes eaten by the dreaded stress monster. I wish that the children haven't been worked to bits, that the majority of the money from the show has been wisely invested for THEIR futures, and that they'll actually get to use it when they're older. I wish that their mother isn't verbally or physically abusive, and gets along well with their dad. I wish that their childhood hasn't been destroyed, and that they aren't being set up for a host of psychological issues.
I don't think we're wrong, but for the kid's sake, wouldn't it be awesome if the sheeple were right?
Sigh. Wish into one hand and poop in the other--see which one fills up first.
C (Is for cookie.)
I don't think my mother's a narcissist, but don't be jealous--she brings her own special brand of crazy to the table, and it's become worse as the years have progressed.
As a kid, I knew that something was "off," but it made me sad and worried and uncomfortable, so I did my best to pretend that everything was normal. When I first became aware that other adults thought that my mom was bat-guano crazy, I was both angry and relieved. Angry that they thought that way about my mommy, but also relieved that other people saw what I saw. I eventually found it comforting to know that my perceptions weren't off. As an adult, I'm glad that other grown-ups were willing to communicate (as tactfully as possible) that my mom is nuts. The ones I have a real problem with were the ones who peed down my back and told me it was raining.

166 - NLAN- Roger that :)
Ah huh, the amnesiacs are out and about.This was kind of an interesting post to-day.Hi NLAN, how are ya?
Gsselin8comefirst,
Sorry, read that time wrong,duh...How are you? Any plans for New Year's eve?
Okay, Y'all, now I'm curious. Which "fan" blog shut down? I don't follow any of them. The nuts and flakes are too deep over there LOL.
Re profanity and the blog -- I really appreciate the fact that this blog is relatively profanity free. I'm no prude. I say things like da**, he**, and sh*t -- perhaps too much at times. I draw the line at words like the F-bomb and c*nt. I find them to be offensive and ugly. It's refreshing to read posts from people who can get their point across without resorting to ugliness. Thank you, ladies (and gentlemen) for being just that!
I have a question for you, Notasheeple. All over the internet there are entire blogs and websites devoted to hating one of the twins. Grown women calling her a c*nt, a bitch, and saying she should be beaten to within an inch of her life. Much of this began before she was 6 years old and continues, and most of it is from FANS of Kate. Don't you think reading those posts will be far more painful and damaging than reading about how some people view Kate as abusive, cruel, and mentally ill? Why aren't you on those sites, criticizing those posters and trying to silence discussion there? Hmmmmmmm. That's what I thought.
readerlady
I guess everyone has left the building. Teresa, are you awake? Anyone, Bueller? GN all,it's just no fun talking to yourself here.
@ hey jude -- Did you maybe mean to say insomniacs, rather than amnesiacs? Although, now that I think about it, amnesiacs might apply to one or two sheeple-like posters here the past day or so.
readerlady
Hi, readerlady, I would like to know what sheeple blog shut down yesterday too. Kate has very few fans left, I think, only the very young and naive still hanging on.
ITA with you re: the swearing, I do at times, but some words are just vulgar and have no room in a civilized conversation.Besides that, these words are here forever..
ha ha ha, that was too funny.I did mean insomniacs, but perhaps it was a Freudian slip, considering it was sheeple I was thinking about.I haven't had a lot of sleep this week,and I have brain farts occasionally!
Night, readerlady.Need to try and get some sleep. Thanks for the laugh.
The one thing everyone forgets. It was GOD who gave life to those children inside Kate. He knows the big picture of the outcome and will be there for "anyone" when it comes time to guide them back to Him. It dosen't matter how or what Kate does when it comes time for Him to knock at their heart. Just as He gave choice to Adam, Eve, you and me, regardless of how we were raised, He knows what will build whatever characture they are going to need as they become adults.
Many people go through hell in their young life and turn out to be fine outstanding adults.
Who are we to say we know better than the one who gave them life inside Kate. It's His plan and He will provide.
Now go ahead and attack me. Call me a troll. Tell me to find another sandbox. I've heard it many times before. I'm posting my opinion, just as you do yours. I have not called out one specific person. Nor am I saying anyone is evil or rotten for how they feel. I just said I think we have forgotten.
170 - hey jude- I go to bed early and get up early, although the time is off by a couple of hours. I hate it, but what can one do? Used to be the other way around, but I digress...I can be very forgetful at times as well : ) Umm... what was the question again?
Going to dinner with family and friends for New Years Eve; my late night partying days are over :( How about you? Wishing you a happy, healthy, "Sheeple Free" New Year.
173- hey jude- You are too funny!
I am rying to clean out drawers and closets... and finding ways not to.

First, not everyone believes in God. What you presented is not a fact that God created the kids, but a belief.
Second, of those who do believe in God, not everyone believes this is part of God's plan. On the contrary, I think this had absolutely nothing to do with God's plan. Man created reality shows, and man (woman, in this case) is greedy and wants money and will even exploit her kids to do it. This is all about humans making choices contrary to what God teaches. God's plan? What an insult to God.
"God's plan" is NEVER an excuse not to step up and try to change things for the better, or at least say something when wrongdoing is happening. By your logic, anything in the world that goes wrong is God's plan and "who are we to say." This would include murders, rapes, abused kids, and even exploited kids.
On the contrary, in the Bible it takes constantly about social justice, about defending the rights of those who can't. My favorite verse is Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of the poor and needy. That's the Bible I believe in. And Bible and God or not, that is the MORALS I believe in. Yes even atheists have a moral compass.
Anonymous...give it a rest already...your giving me a headache with all of your (crap) insight....
Just checked. Ding dong, the blog that libeled me (and others) for two long years is dead.
random thoughts,
What good will the news of K & S being a couple do for her? Where will that get her in the entertainment world?
If she can bash Jon (their mother bashing their father) why would comments from strangers about their lame mother upset them? She's surely taught them that opinions of others don't matter.
Children who are abused in any manner (physical, mental, emotional) are very apt to show excessive gratitude to the abuser to try to stay on their good side. Sadly they don't know she doesn't 'have' a good side.
Apparently 'anon' doesn't get that picking a name just means give us one to work with, rather than having to designate 'which' 'anon' we are referring to or rebutting.
Lastly, I apologize for using the word 'bitch' on here, but when I think of her name that is how my fingers type it. Sorry if it is offensive.
If you were a Yankees fan, why would you go on a Mets' fan blog and say you support the yankees? Anonymous continues to post here hoping for a confrontation, and defiantly stated it's her right to do so. Maybe so, but why exercise the 'right' to irritate yourself and others? I can see why she identifies so much with Kate. And now I will exercise my right to ignore her
Because some people like to shi&^stir. It's not usually socially acceptable to do this in real life, or perhaps they have done it and alienated a lot of people, but since you're anonymous you can get it all out of your system on blogs.
178- Anonymous- I think Admin politely asked you to pick a name yesterday. Yet you come here and choose to ignore her requests.
Below phrases you have used, indicate that we "forget" or that we have no right to our opinions based on Kate's horrible behavior:
The one thing everyone forgets
Who are we to say
I just said I think we have forgotten.
Regardless, there are many intelligent posters here that make legitimate differing points and do not come here to endlessly preach to and disrespect others.
Admin- Feel free to delete this post if not appropriate, and I will ignore posts from Anonymous and assorted evacuees from this point forward.
I find it sad for KT that she is now trying to keep her Twitter upbeat yet the virtual "friends" are constantly trying to bring her down by putting up links which to her credit she mostly ignores (except for the occasional rampage which seems to be more of a mood swing). Did you see this or that. You need to check on this, it could get out of hand. Essentially raining on her Twitter parade.
I was taught as a friend you don't repeat the bad things that people might say about them or try to engage them about things that might destroy their good mood and make them sad or angry.
I do believe that she has made some new friends that are parents of the kids' friends from school, which is great for the kids and the kind of friends that she needs. Who would have ever thought she would take the kids ice skating?
I guess I am trying to find a silver lining in a thunderhead but it is definitely a step in the right direction and quite frankly, one that I thought we would never see.
The people who come here or there and try to change the minds of people who have formed an opinion based upon what they have seen with their own eyes and/or words from KT, herself, are not doing her any favors. Only KT can do that by her actions (not words). It makes me think of the bad neighbor that won't stay on their side of the fence.
188 - Pity Party- I do believe that she has made some new friends that are parents of the kids' friends from school, which is great for the kids and the kind of friends that she needs. Who would have ever thought she would take the kids ice skating?
----------
I totally agree, this is a step in the right direction and I am sure the kids were thrilled to be included. Hopefully, this will continue.
Heck maybe a few brave parents even had a heart to heart with her about becoming involved with other parents and participating in things other parents and kids are doing.
Sometimes all it takes is one or two people to call you out to move you into action. If only for appearance's sake, she would want to be one of them.
anon...I think you have things wrong. God decided Khate shouldn't have kids. She, with the free will, decided God was wrong and went to a fertility specialist. That freee wiil stuff is what we will all have to answer for.
I am on a vacation/trip and actually in the time zone of the postings. The 2-hour time change has me up early. What was my sunrise choice -- to come here, read, and catch up with my blog friends.
Happy New Year to all of you.
I learned of the fan site demise while reading this AM. I had followed there (never posted) until my perceptions of Kate evolved into something less than flattering. I actually learned about this site, years ago, by reading there. This has become a reading home and I appreciate the ladies here for their humor and thoughtfulness. Is the other fan site (BM) still active?
I enjoyed catching up after several days away. Thanks, Admin for never flipping us off with a jaunty, "....chat amongst yourselves"
PS: I was an Anonymous for a long time, but I always added "post by MaryAnn". Current Anonymous is deliberate. It is just too easy to add a name if you can't create an account.

Nice to see you : )
Yes, that site is still active but barely. Just a couple of posters and it's updated only sporadically.

@JasonHueman I can hear you saying that and it makes me miss you...
***********************************************
I think Kate's answers to Jason's random tweets are her way of trying to appear relavent to her tweeties....almost the same as her answers to random tweets by Joy, Taylor and other "stars" that she has come in contact with. It seems like she's "talking" to them when the sad reality is that they probably don't even see her tweets.
I'm getting the feeling that Kate's free ride at the salon in NYC is over. My advice to Kate is that if you miss your hairdresser make an appointment and get your hair done....only this time PAY!
I hope that if it's true and she did take the kids ice skating with frinds from school that she continues the trend of being "normal" in the new year. We will wait and see.
Is he replying to any of her fishing tweets or is he still ignoring her? Honestly if someone is ignoring your tweets after the third or fourth of trying to reach out, maybe she should take the hint and wait for him to contact her next. Social skills, Kate.
It looks as if Katie Irene is finally beginning to get the message that she bought services (whether comped for publicity or not) instead of acquiring friends. I, too, think the days of the Jason Freebie are now over. Those xmas lights may have been a final kiss-off.
I had a relative with similar problems to Kate. After inheriting a lot of stocks, he went to a stock broker and sold a bunch of them. When the statement came and uncle saw that the broker had taken a percentage (standard procedure, and it was in the forms he'd signed for the sale) he had a hissy fit.
He actually believed the stock broker's services were free, because the stock broker would be "honored to be dealing with a rich person" like uncle.
Uncle thought the whole world, and everything in it, should exist only for him and to serve his desires. I don't know how uncle got to 40 without understanding how the world works, but he's obviously not the only one.
Learning that he couldn't dazzle people into doing everything for him for free just made him an angrier, meaner person. I'm not holding out much hope that things will go better for Kate.
Jason Hueman is definitely giving Kate the PBO (polite brush-off). When he asked her if she would be coming in before Christmas, that was a clear hint that she needed to make an appointment (you know, like all the rest of the mediocre folks). Then he was playing Houdini (read: avoiding her). And now, boo-hoo, she misses him. She thinks she's being subtle and shaming him into a free hair appointment, but he's smart enough to see through that. I think that gravy train has gone off the rails. Now let's see what happens to CC. "Time off" may mean that they aren't thrilled about throwing money to a person who gives them nothing in return. How long until she puts out the next "wish list"? Those handouts of cereal and coffee don't pay the mortgage, ya know.

I've seen rich and famous people act like that, that it is a privilege to work for them, why would they need to pay? The payment is you are in their prences. And I've seen rich and famous act the exact opposite, that it's their honor to work with you. And the latter gets you sooo much further in life, emotionally at least.
It's very interesting how different people approach the same circumstances.
Admin @195...he did throw her a crumb by answering her and wishing her a Happy NY. We'll have to wait and see if she answers him with her usual "hint" for free services.

@Kateplusmy8 xoxo! Happy New Year!!!
how is it that Kate "misses" all of these people in show biz but she doesn't miss her own family and relatives? Like when she said she missed the girls on the View. She barely knows these people. She only misses them because she "wants" something from them and they're in the career she wants to be in....desparate much? You big fat ASS KISSER...
