According to listeners (thanks!), among some other topics Kate is hitting from D.C.:
 |
| Kate loves tampon talk! Especially about her girls! But her virginity? Now that's too personal. |
- Kate said she doesn't let the kids get on the internet without her because there's so much information out there about Jon and she doesn't want them to see it
- They only eat healthy, balanced meals. She teaches the kids which foods make your body grow up versus make your body grow out.
- The kids wanted to leave the Alaska camp ground and that if they had asked to stay she would have but they were wet and complaining so they left. The show didn't show that part. (No, Kate. That's not how it went down. Joel's exact quote was: "Actually, I do want to stay."
- Her kids don't care if she discusses her kids
- She can't work as a nurse because babysitter would cost more than she would make.

Thanks for your answer. Good luck with whatever you and your husband decide, you two sound like reasonable, responsible parents.

Tala - Kate's obsessed with having her life documented on film isn't she. A lot of people keep journals or photo albums along with the odd video of Christmas or vacations for their own viewing pleasure. But she's been itching to be 'discovered' since before they were married. On a video of her at a dinner party celebration you can hear her asking 'did you get me?'... and then there's the one later on where she's dancing like Marlo Thomas on the opening segment of "That Girl" at Disneyland on their honeymoon, making sure Jon's getting it all on film. She finally hit the jackpot that would make her famous when she shilled Figure 8 the footage of herself as a busy little mommy.
--------------------------------------
She's not even subtle about her need to be the center of attention.
I finally got a chance to see the (in)famous picture of the kids lined up like good little soldiers to watch their movie. I agree -- little girls in the choice spots and the boys shuttled off to the ends. At the very least, the child who needs glasses should be in the best viewing spot. And to avoid messes they have to sit on the line, Kate? If you are truly concerned about a little popcorn on the carpet, put an old sheet down for them to sit on. Movie over, sheet gets shaken out outside (the birds would love the dropped popcorn. So would Shoka, since that much loved family member apparently wasn't included in "family movie night". Why do you have to make things so complicated and difficult for the kids? Oh right, it's all about control, not about the kids.
How many living rooms does that house have? You'd think one of them couldd be a family room where the kids can kick back on a comfortable chair or sofa and relax while they watch a movie. They bought the place.
SNL, really Kate?! Hahahaha. Kate's delusion really is astounding. I think she's used to saying something and then it comes true. Those were the days when TLC was around to make all of her wishes come true. I think she's getting a dose of reality now. And although she's getting the odd job here and there, I'm sure it's killing her that she's had to spend so much time at home.
I feel so bad for those kids. The only way they are going to be able to go to college is if they get a scholarship or get students loans. There is no way Kate is going to part with that money, even if she still has it by then. If it's between college or her getting a real job, those kids are going to be left on their own. She won't even pay for gymnastic lessons or going to the movies. Can you imagine being able to pry college tuition from her x8? It will never happen.
If all Kate wanted was this third child, why in the world would she chose fertility over adoption?
Yes, I understand most women seem to want their own biological natural children whatever, but wouldn't it have just been easier on Kate to adopt a local child?
I guess, I look at it as, they knew the risks, they knew the would get more than one baby possibly out of this. And you know what I see? Con-Artist. Plain and simple.
All the easier for her to cry put upon me. It's absolutely pathetic. How and why would Jon be forced into it? He didn't want it. I don't see how someone let's themselves be controlled.
Sad Indeed,
because it furthers your belief that Kate Gosselin is the worst mother on the planet and judging by this post comparing your Norman Rockwell-esque family movie night to the Gosselins', makes you feel better about yourself as a mother.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I laughed out loud when I read your post!!! You hit the nail exactly on the head:
I DO think kart is a very, very, very piss-poor "mother" - prefer to think of her as an entitled gestational carrier.
And yes, I do KNOW I am a better mother and human than kart.
Answering your post is like snagging low hanging fruit. With all due respect, the majority of us who post here are better humans and mothers than her.
Speaking for myself (and likely others here), I am compassionate, except toward her because she has no compassion for others, specifically her family, kids and ex.
I think she has a mental illness/personality disorder but that is no damned excuse for her behavior. She is purely hateful to all those around her, and it's all documented on the TV show and in her "appearances".
I protect the privacy of my family and don't discuss their bodily functions, nor do I correct my DH in public (or in private either).
I would NEVER EVER think to talk to strangers the way she talked to Brad the sky jump person, or the solar panel installers, or hit Emeril with a spoon.... or to cut in line at events, or slap my child for waking me up out of my drug-induced sleep on a long plane trip.... or steal my kids money.
I would never ever do a reality show pimping my kids and take their money.
I always think of my kids comfort and safety BEFORE my own. That's what being is mom is all about. Except for kart.
I am content with my 'mediocre' middle class life. We have just 1 old TV, two older cars that get good gas mileage, and don't take selfish vacations ever. We are frugal people and live within our means.
We are happy.
Before I retired I worked 37 years in nursing and research. Full time. Part-time while our son was in school, then again full time when he was older.
I never pimped him out to make money for us. He had a good childhood in a normal home with lots of friends. I never, ever yelled at him in public or otherwise. I never showed his poop to anyone and I never put him in a dark laundry room on the floor when he was sick.
The list goes on and on - I'm not sure how perfect I am. I think I am average... mediocre. But I SURE AS HELL AM A BETTER MOM than kart. By millions of galactic miles --- just like other moms on here.
You were right - we are better than her. And that is one reason I read here - I love the proud feeling I get when I see how much better a person I am than she is.
She has no talent. She has nothing to offer. EVERY venture she has started has turned pathetic quickly. She is the very last person who should be out there trying to force herself down the public's throat.
The "sad" thing is that she does know how the public feels. She has said so. But she is so mean, stubborn and arrogant that she just will not quit.
TLC tried to tell her by cancelling "her" show. Jon told her by divorcing her. I bet purseboy has tried to tell her... at least something... but no doubt he got no where with that ---
Apologies to all who post here for the length of this - my eyes and brain just exploded when I saw "makes you feel you are a better mother" ---
Sad Indeed, your comment was right. Many folks are better than her. You really pushed my buttom sweetie......
LOL - apologies for my above post. It was written from the heart - maybe was "too passionate"........ I shouldn't have presumed to speak for others on here who ARE better moms and humans than kart.
Button was pushed.
Kate's face does look like the characature! It's hard to tell
If she's smiling or snarling anymore. The face is so creepy and scary looking, like the Joker
Oh dear, I forgot another way I am better than kart:
I DON'T LIE. Not constantly, not pathologically, not ever.
Truth and respect are the hallmarks of a well-lived life. She is clueless in that deparment.
Like a child, if they've got the toy someone else wants they will do everything to get it even if it doesn't belong to them.
If someone is on SLN she wants to be too
If someone had multiples, she wanted them too
And my guess is someone got a tattoo she went to get one too.
All these things, Kate wants what the other person has. That is where her "dreams," come from. If she can't have what you've got she'll play victim until someone gives it to her, much like co-hosts on talk shows, "I'll own this mic some day."
The jingle, "Anything you can do, I can do better." Comes to mind here.

I read here because I love seeing that there are huge numbers of responsible, caring parents who are horrified that someone like Kate got paid millions to document her abusive behavior toward her children, her husband, and virtually everyone she has encountered in her life on TV.
I love knowing that there are other people, like me, who know that perfection in parenting is impossible, but that it really isn't all that difficult to put your children first, to care for and nurture them responsibly, and to respect their individuality and their right to a private, supportive childhood.
This blog is a constant reminder that Kate, however glorified and validated by TLC, is not any kind of a representative of good parenting, or even (gasp) mediocre parenting. There's a whole world of parents out there (and writing on this blog) who know better. A lot better.
Now that you mention it,
Wow, I love what you said and how you said it. It's apparent that you are a caring human who is living a respectful, truthful and honest life. I'm proud to be posting on the same blog as you.
Well said, Now... well said!
Kate's looking for happiness in all the wrong places. She has this fixation on amassing large and/or mass quantities of STUFF.
large family, large house. large cars, large wardrobes, large shoe collections. can't have one washer and dryer set, nope, gotta have two..can't have one car, gotta have three..
large trips, local movie just won't do it..(also is quoted saying if they hadn't done the show, her kids never would have left PA)...
numerous phones, what 6th now? think she had 4 freezers, or something stupid like that...
everything with her has to be large or in large quantities..
what happened to this chick in her developmental stages. She is sick, sick. sick.
when it finally hits the fan, this lady is going to have a large meltdown.
Ok, this may sound cold, but I am less worried about the kids having money for college than I am about their childhood overall. She begrudges every single cent she spends on them while papering herself constantly.
Dammit Kate THEY EARNED the money.
By the time they reach college age she'll probably have pissed away enough money that they will qualify for financial aid. Student loans are not the end of the world.
Meanwhile, their money should be spent on the children!
And I'll add another descriptor to the long list: Kate you are EVIL.
Thanks, Permanent Name. It really isn't all that difficult, is it? Children first. They need responsible parents to grow up well. That's what good parenting is all about.
@ 18 oops. pampering herself.
paige_kate8fan
RT @Kateplusmy8: @Paige_Kate8fan HB Paige's mommy! Good girl you have there :)
I guess Kate has absolutely no idea (or just doesn't care) that a Canadian teen may have been responsible for posing as Cara on Formspring and Twitter.
As an adoptive parent (twice) who knows all too well the microscope that a couple gets put under during the home study phase, I can honestly say that Jon and Kate would have had a great deal of trouble adopting. A social worker would have picked up on the friction between them (especially in the interviews done with them separately), they would have needed a house suitable in size for three children, and they would have needed a plan for childcare while still having the finances for supporting all of their children. Lots of people give birth to children, having less than J & K did back in the days before the tups, but to adopt under those circumstances is a whole other ball game! This is all in addition to the enormous amount of money that it costs for the whole process. You truly have to be devoted to the process...both of you...to be able to survive it! We would do it again in a heartbeat, but it is definitely not for everyone!

Due to the increased response for this event, we have rented Keswick Theatre, a local production theatre around the corner from the church in Glenside, Pa. This will provide much more seating.
*************************
This church sure got reemed by J&K -- the church rented the theater to allow for a bigger audience -- which, of course, translated into the Gosselins getting that many more "love offerings." There was no charge for admission, so it was all out of the church's pocket. The minister actually sent the kitty around twice -- once for a love offering for the Grifters, and once [almost reluctantly] asking if anyone wanted to help the church with the cost of renting the theater. Did J&K offer any of their grifted money to the church? No, they concluded the freak show by telling the audience that they'd be signing autographed photos for $20 a pop. Disgusting.
Another reason Kate will have trouble finding a guy. If he is not super rich he will be worried about how she spends HIS money. Claiming it is hers, all hers. Oh and what guy will want his every move put on the internet by fans, haters and paps?
The jingle, "Anything you can do, I can do better." Comes to mind here.
++++
Is that a jingle running somewhere right now? It's the name of an old Berlin song from Broadway's, "Annie Get Your Gun."
It could very well be Kate's theme song. Can't you see her standing there in a cowgirl suit with a gun in each holster?
I am sure Kate has 0 intention of paying for college. She probably feels like she shouldn't have to, it should be handed to her like everything else. I am surprised she hasn't started U-promise for all the kids and tweeted the accounts and all the sheeple could link their cards and shop their hearts out knowing they are funding the G kids college education- (snark).
Tala-I agree with you. Student loans aren't the end of the world. I had student loans and it was fine. She absolutely should spend money on the kids. She has chosen an odd life for them. They have gone from traveling the world and seeing/doing lots of things to nothing. And I'm sure their vacations weren't everything they could have been considering filming was the top priority but at least it was something. Kate acts like because they have already experienced all of that that they are set and don't need anything else (at least not on her dime).
I just feel bad that the kids have been so exposed and will have gained nothing from it. Not that a college education is worth all of what they have gone through/continue to go through. I guess it's just another way Kate has used her kids.
But butterfly (27), Kate wouldn't get any of that money.
Butteryfly-Please don't give her another idea for grifting. I'm sure she'll start that as soon as she gets wind of such a thing. The coupon queen probably isn't aware this is possible, otherwise she would have started it a long time ago.
Permanent Name 8 -- Very well said. Sadly, I don't have any human children. The ONLY thing I envy Kate is those 8 perfect (Yes, Kate, even the child who needs glasses is perfect) little souls she's been blessed with. I'm a far better "mom" to my cats than Kate is to her children.
Marie 7 said "I don't see how someone let's themselves be controlled." Marie, I think Jon allowed himself to be controlled, at least initially, out of love. In the early days of the show, it was obvious that he adored Kate. By the time he realized what was going on, it was too late. THankfully, he found the strength and the courage to break free and to fight for his kids.

====
I thought there were vague references about an adoption at one point but she said those plans fell through. Maybe they DID get as far as the home study phase and they were rejected. Of course it would have been Jon's fault, the agency's fault, NEVER Kate's.
Besides, she would never have gotten the attention she craves if she had only three, count 'em three kids.
AuntieAnn, I remember that they had the opportunity to adopt a Korean infant. It is unclear why they didn't, but you and MomOfFour probably called it.
Wasn't there supposedly a Korean boy that they were thinking about adopting? Another lie? Maybe they weren't approved? That was when Jon's father was alive, wasn't he helping pay for fertility treatments? His financial support combined with Kate's and Jon's income should have qualified them. She certainly made it sound like it was their decision to try fertility treatments instead of adopting that little boy? By the way, that little boy dodged a bullet!
It was also mentioned in Multiple Blessings that a teenager at her hospital asked her to adopt her biracial (African-American/white) son at birth. "Kate" said it was God's plan that they did not??? Never understood why they got so close and then God decided for them not to.
Permanent Name -- you spoke for me quite well. Thanks.
I remember that - she let them think that she was going to take the baby right up until the day they were to take it home. Neither the young teen nor her mother wanted the child. She left them with no option but to take the child home.
Exactly how many "dreams" does Grifty have? Just recently its been the cover of Runners World, Hosting SNL....(REALLY), various worldwide travel spots, and of course, a talk show.
She is like a spoiled brat sitting in front of the tv at Christmas time saying "I want that" to every toy commercial.
Now its just getting pathetic....
I remember seeing the Dilley and McCaughey moms on tv, and seeing how dedicated they were to their kids, especially since each family has a special needs child. Well, my hat is off to those families - the Dilley's has a few specials on 20-20 and about 1 Good Housekeeping article each year, and the McCaughey family also shunned the spotlight (to the point that I don't even remember seeing them after the kids were about 3)
Grifty, everybody knows you read here - just crawl back under your rock.
The talk show will NEVER EVER happen - you sound like a damn fool when you speak, and you are past you prime to make a splash in H'wood. Real talk show hosts - Oprah, Ellen, etc.. let their guests shine and are generous to others...THAT is why nothing will ever happen for you.
Pot meet kettle:

Does she understand the qualifying times for the Boston marathon are INSANE??? Like, Olympic levels.
Is she living on Planet Delusion? Kate please come back to earth.
To reply to myself, at #35, I just looked in my copy (a gift, honestly!!) and it says their families would not accept a child who did not look like them, especially Jon's?? WTF? Their own children do not look like the opposite set of grandparents? I hate to draw certain conclusions...
@JillyShoe1987 um dance.. Yes. Um those horrible Dance moms? never ever ever! 7 minutes
&&&
So she watches the show. Figures. Exactly what is so horrible about them in her opinion and how is she different??? Do tell, Kate.
There is no reason Kate shouldn't have saved enough money to both give them an abundant childhood AND pay for college.
The kids were only two years old for pity sake when this show was in its heyday. Even if she put just a small amount of money in a 529 plan it could have grown by leaps and bounds by the time they were college age. A little money saved then would be worth way more when they are 18. They could get a nice chunk of change to help out.
I just don't feel these kids should have to worry about a thing when it comes to money ever again--be it now, or later.

Once, I went there too. Wouldn't be surprised....
MommaofFour I agree about them having a hard time with the homestudy. And there are certain children they simply cannot adopt. The Adoption Safe Families Act would find their family too big to be able to adopt a foster child.
Actually, perhaps they failed the adoption process. Which does not mean you are bad parents and is nothing to be ashamed of--there are a lot of specific regulations and some families just don't work out but are still lovely families. But of course Kate would never admit they failed that, just that the adoptions didn't work out.

Once, it's not really for us to try to understand God's plan. However, if I had to take a guess, I would say that God didn't like icky boys.

Admin, I agree, they SHOULDN'T. Sigh.
I love you but you guys are killing me.
I'll try if I have time.
FYI, Dolphin tale 3D DVD ranges from $27 to $40 based on a quick google search.
I don't think that she ever said it *was* a girl, just that she had talked about it with the kids and they all decided that it must have been a girl, and they decided that her name was Emma Rose.
Except that last week she changed it to Emma Hope.
Whatever, Kate.
A recap would be great, Admin, but a lot of the most amusing exchanges (e.g., tweets b/t Kate and milo) have been deleted. LOTS of deletions going on these days on the part of some of the most rabid fans--not exactly sure why.
I wonder how many fans she lost this weekend. There can't be that many more left.
I checked her number one fan blog where there is literally like 15 comments on a post from last week. The admins are claiming real life is busy but face it, it's because no one can defend Kate anymore. They don't have to admit it, just fade quietly away, it's okay. Not saying I wouldn't do the same.
How many new dreams does this lady have? It's been a dream of hers to:
have multiples
go to Australia
run in a marathon
wants to go to England
wants to run in Boston marathon
wants to host SLC
wants to have a radio show
wants to have a voice over career
wants to have a talk show
wants to write a cookbook
any others? there have to be a million more..
54 Why oh why would anyone discuss something like that with young children?
(rhetorical question as it's kate).
Does anybody remember from back in the day that Jon and Kate had actually looked into adopting a Korean infant when the tups were about 3? They addressed this in a magazine interview and revealed that it didn't work out because their family was too large per Korean adoption standards.
We were all speechless and horrified, as this really looked like they were actually going to try to bring another child into that three ring circus for a publicity stunt, a tie in for the failed trip to Korea show and for Kate to finally just have one baby at a time.
Thank God for the Korean adoption guidelines.
Confidential to 'Source Please?'
Offhand, I don't know what magazine it was. I'm thinking Ladies Home Journal or Good Housekeeping. Google is your friend.

As someone who lives in Massachusetts and has the marathon run through my city there is no way that Kate would qualify under normal circumstances but there are charitable groups that are give a certain number of bibs to use as a fundraiser. She might be able to convince someone to sponsor her but there is no way that she would be able to complete it.
Hey Kate - before you wish to run in the Boston Marathon please google "heartbreak hill" to see what you have to deal with. Also, while you're at it check out Rosie Ruiz. No getting around finishing this one legitimately.
Oh and Kate - PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT WE'LL BE SCREAMING FOR YOU ALONG THE ROUTE!
wayward 60. I do remember but had confused the biracial/local adoptee with the Korean baby.
Honestly you need a scorecard to keep all this stuff straight.
Kate's sister who is not a public figure and hasn't even so much as been on the show is off limits please unless something changes.
I have tried to understand why I put my time and energy into reading a blog concerning Kate Gosselin.
The obvious would be my overwhelming dislike for Kate due to her treatment of ALL of the children, adults and animals that she has/had in her life.
Every one of the foster children that have been placed with me have come from an abusive home(s). The parents or guardians of my foster children have mental issues varying from substance abuse to serious mental disease and
I just realized that Kate gives off the same vibe that I got from those 'parents' during visitations.
The fear for the Gosselin kids and their living situation have become very real for me....the Gosselin drama may not have a happy ending for one or more of these children.
As someone whose husband has run the Boston Marathon - twice - let me just caution K8: this is NOT a "Fun Run"; it is a serious enterprise that people enter to WIN. It is easy to get trampled, and there is no room for a running buddy unless the buddy is better at running than you.
Time was, this marathon was an easy-going run that people could enter in a variety of ways, but it has tightened considerably to PROPERLY RECORDED qualifying finish times.
It is good to have goals, and kudos to antone capable of achieving this one, but you should know what you're getting into with the bigger marathons.
KG would get eaten alive in the Boston Marathon.
Go ahead Kate, take it as a challenge; personally I don't care if you qualify or even win.
Since you are so into "giving back" why not do a run for pediatric cancer?
Permanent Name,
You're being baited. I understood your post just fine. You are better than kate.
Tala 29,
Oh my you made me laugh! You are so right, how silly of me, of course if Kate can't get any of the money, she wouldn't be interested.
The fear for the Gosselin kids and their living situation have become very real for me. 64
Momof6, welcome to the world of "haterz."
Please understand that I am not being sarcastic; that is what the fans call us. They think that since the children are no longer working, we should stop caring. My welcome is sincere and a lot of us agree with your concerns.
I couldn't resist looking up the current qualifying times for the Boston Marathon. In Kate's age group she will have to run a marathon prior to Boston (on their list)
in 3 hrs. 40 min. So, all she needs to do now is knock 1 hr. 19 min. off her Vegas marathon time to qualify. If she really thinks she could host SNL, who am I to burst this particular bubble!

Debbie Downer:
I didn't know a Dilley child was a special needs kids? The boy with depression do you mean?
I watched some of their specials and though Becki was a terrific mom- I bet she is horrified at a certain someone's parenting. I loved her organization in which the kids learned to be self-sufficient and also pitch in around their not-too-big home.
The Dilleys are the poster children for how you can share your children with the world while still protecting them from the world.
Diane Sawyer did brief updates every few years. We got to see them grow up without disrupting their day to day existence with cameras. It was once every few years with cameras there a few days then back to normal. There was the rare interview on Good Morning America. The last one was several years ago, the kids were maybe 15 or 16, and they seemed like lovely, normal kids with normal interests.
Oh, and those parents managed to give those children dance classes, musical instruments, and other activities.
This is something Kate could have done if she didn't piss Jon the heck off and was willing to work together with him....TLC could have come back for non-intrusive update specials every few years. Money in the bank for her.
Kids are playing... I'm watching @thevoice on tv... Woah, some major talent going on.. I've become addicted! Must tune in on monday pm!!! 28 minutes ago
&&&
I thought she said they didn't watch T.V. Now she's let slip this weekend she watches Dance Moms and the Voice. This liar is probably parked in front of the TV every night with her twitter.
By the way, I love the Voice. LIghtyears better than American Idol. I don't watch those kind of shows except that one.
And this would be a problem why? She is can-do Kate!

Hell yeah. Kate can run it backwards while texting AND preparing for her SNL appearance.

You think she posted doing the driveway run due to the fact of the babysitter issue on her weekend? Why can't this chick run while the kids are at school?
I didn't realize she said they didn't watch much tv..she needs to write all this down so she can keep track of all the lies.
my goodness.
Another site has a pic of that 'other' HOM, the one that recently divorced and now has another significant other. I don't know how old she is, but she looks ROUGH!
You have to be a bit old (I guess I am.) to remember the Kienast family. They were Good Housekeeping quints in the 70's. They had lots of community support when the kids were little. I remember an article with photos of their home being enlarged and gifts arriving. Very grounded people but hard times hit. The dad committed suicide. Mom, Peggy, carried on. I don't think the kids were profiled after their teen years.
Hey sad...when the Gosselin fiasco goes belly up you will understand these people and their blogs. There is not one of them who I do not find funny and I would trust my children to them. This is how people who are scared of the outcome of this mess talk...yes, it is beyond our control, but we will not give up.
THEY WANTED TO ADOPT A BABY WHEN THE TUPS WERE THREE???
OMG, they couldn't afford the tups when they were expecting them...and couldn't afford ANY of their kids after they were born...
you have got to be freakin kidding me. OMG
you don't light a match when your house is on fire.
HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE
What even mildly knowledgeable parent doesn't have their children, especially under the age of 14, drink milk?? Every doctor and nutritionist says milk is a requirement for good health. If your kid is lactose intolerant, buy soy milk. It has even more calcium and vitamin D. Only using milk on cereal, which according to Kate they don't eat every morning, is not nearly a large enough serving.
I guess Kate's hourly coffee is more important than her children's health. Who am I kidding? I don't have to guess that, I KNOW it.
Check said....This reminds me that she said the water they had to walk through from the plane to the campsite was "probably OVER our heads"
--------------
So according to Kate they stepped off the plane (still the hair-pain to the kids Kate?) Into 6 feet of water?
-----------------
Exactly...no such thing as a 'perfect' parent, but they have come pretty damn close.
Kudos to the Dilley family!
&&&&
Exactly. Contrary to popular belief we don't require parents be perfect. Maybe the Dilleys shouldn't have allowed Primetime to film them at all. Maybe they shouldn't have talked about the little boy's stomach troubles or gone into how the dad was laid off. Maybe that's too private.
But we're talking a FEW questionable decisions over the course of 18 years in which everything else smelled right. It's not bad. Not bad at all.
Had Kate only made a few mistakes and did an overall great job with her kids, this blog probably wouldn't exist.
Oh, yes, and she had the baby's name picked out.

I'm sure she thought TLC could pull some strings and make that wish come true too.
~~~~~
Aggie - Bryan Masche tweeted Kate yesterday. Maybe he'd like to combine forces with Kate and pitch another reality show?
Yawn, yet another sheeple getting pissed that someone was rude when they were rude first.
I am the admin, and I say go away, Sad Indeed.
She infuriated me. Did you hear the part towards the end when she said "My mother said when I was growing up, you'll either marry someone black or asian". What's us with that. There must be something in her teenage years pretty bad to have her mother say something like that. She made my blood boil during this show. She was so mad when that woman called in and asked her why she would talk about something so personal as to her daughter's wearing a bra. Kate said "I'm only talking about my children and that's what all other parents do" Yes Kate, but they don't do it on TWITTER for 79,000 people to see or do it on a nationally syndicated radio show. WHAT AN IDIOT. Her brain is so fried she doesn't even see the difference.
If a new thread is created showcasing Kate's tacky, and at times classless, boastful twitter rantings from yesterday, it could be called "Downloading". This is how Dr. Drew summarized her guest appearance on his "Lifechangers" show, as he closed the show. And although she was there in part to talk-up her Coupon Cabin gig, he never mentioned that and soley gave credit for that subject to the informative upbeat woman also there that day. And...that is about the only thing Dr. Drew got right that day, as far as Kate Gosselin's guest appearance. Because his exchange with her was otherwise ridiculously unbearable & foolish..and as always riddled with her lies & deceptions about Jon.
So, is Kate does this Boston marathon and since I don't have experience in timed running but, shouldn't running be faster than this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKCoyJHrZrE&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk4-SE8BdGM&feature=related
I've never been to Boston, so is it up hill a lot like San Francisco or anything? Or is it flat like PA? Again this is my general idea and I don't mean to sound rude to people who live there for maybe being a stereotype.
So according to Kate they stepped off the plane (still the hair-pain to the kids Kate?) Into 6 feet of water?
&&&
Yes. Incidentally, we have a photo of Kate getting off that plane. And wouldn't you know it, that six feet of water is nowhere to be found!
Here's the pic:

Kate said that on the radio show the other day?
Marie, most of why I know about marathons is from this documentary I saw about the Chicago marathon which was great but I'm blanking on the name.
But I do know that those people are SERIOUS. They don't screw around. It's not a little thing you do on a whim like oh I'm going to go wash the car. No, it's calculated, it's scientific, it's intense hard work and dedication and athleticism on a level Kate will never understand. And frankly I wouldn't either. You can't just do everything you want to do. This is not meant to discourage people. If you want to run, go run. But do it because you want to run because it's fun to run, not to win a marathon.
As others have said, they would destroy Kate.
Kate and Jon could not have adopted from South Korea as they do not allow adoptions by any couple with more than 4 kids under the age of 18. Then again, Kate probably thought 'Korea' would just bow down and pay her for the honour of her adopting a child there. I say Jon and the kids should have pushed for North Korea to adopt Kate.
If Kate talked obsessively about bi-racial children like even she admits she wanted, I can see how a family member might think well if she wants that I guess she will end up with someone who s not white.
Sounds like her family had good ole fashioned common sense. No wonder they got estranged.
~OMG, she lies & exaggerates about everything!
~Lucky kids who did NOT get adopted by her.
~Dilleys: I love their family and dynamics. I don't think they gave away too much info in the specials- just trying to help others see how they managed and how others could as well. They did have a not-great TV movie out which portrayed the grandparents in not the best light, but maybe some of that was beyond their control after signing the rights to it? And Becki wrote a book- I didn't read it.
Also the Dilleys don't seem to have an official web site to grift.
There is one fan site that I can find, but it hasn't been updated since the kids were like 13. They will be 19 in May.
Which brings me to another point.....the reality is most people interested in other people's kids lose interest at about age 13, the teen years. No one is going to care about awkward teens or want to grift them with anything, it's just how it is, uncomfortable as it is to admit. It's the reality, Kate.
The Boston Marathon is one of the most prestegious in the states. There is a famous hill towards the end. I reccommend a great film called Saint Ralph about a boy who runs the marathon in hopes of producing a miracle to save his mother.
Tamara said... 85,
My family doesn't drink milk, not a single one of us (as infants we drink it to one year and then stop). We just don't like it. It's a running joke in our family, we aren't baby cows, why would we drink cow milk? It's a joke. We get calcium other ways. But I would never deprive a child milk of if they liked it and wanted to drink it. I would buy it and pour it freely for them to drink.
Did anyone watch the Discovery program on the cruise ship tonight? It was scary and sad. That captain is a piece of work. I won't spoil it for those on the westcoast.

You nailed it Admin...the Gosselins willingly 'sold their souls' for profit and fame. Never have seen that from the Dilley family, although they've had the opportunities.

Kids are playing... I'm watching @thevoice on tv... Woah, some major talent going on.. I've become addicted! Must tune in on monday pm!!! 28 minutes ago

I thought she said they didn't watch T.V. Now she's let slip this weekend she watches Dance Moms and the Voice. This liar is probably parked in front of the TV every night with her twitter.
By the way, I love the Voice. LIghtyears better than American Idol. I don't watch those kind of shows except that one.
_______________________
First, it's "WHOA" Kate...NOT Woah...which she tweets repeatedly.
Next, I also am totally addicted to THE VOICE and haven't watched a single segment of American Idol this season.
Butterfly, does your family drink soy, or goat, or yak or... So many different kinds of drinkable milk. Coconut? :)
I drank it for dinner nearly ever day until I was 13, and even then I often drank it with dinner when at home. My mom and one of my dads hate it, but I've never really understood why. A nice cold glass, yum. Plus milk mustaches rock.
Sad Indeed 79
I have said this before, but I will say it again for your benefit, I hate no-one, not even Kate. Frankly, I would not be here if I sensed people wished Kate harm, that
is what 'pure hatred' is. I make comments here based on Kate's BEHAVIOUR, her unrelenting desire to remain famous at the expense of her children.
Most Kate supporters buy in to her theory that she is doing everything to secure a financial future for her children. The truth is that there are a 1000 different ways she can accomplish this, but fame means more, and she will go where she has to to get it. Her fans believe she is sacrificing herself for her children, but the opposite is true, her kids childhood's are being sacrificed for the sake of their mother's pursuit of fame.
While I agree with the majority of those who post here, there are times when I do not. The difference is, I choose to respect their opinion although it may not be mine. If Admin senses things are going sideways she will make the necessary adjustments.
THEY WANTED TO ADOPT A BABY WHEN THE TUPS WERE THREE???
OMG,
_____________
Kate said she wanted to know what it was like to have just one baby (instead of multiples).
RE: Those HORRIBLE dance moms. I thought kate said we shouldn't judge someone's hoice to be on a reality show OR judge someone as a parent sine we haven't "walked in their shoes." Pot and kettle just collided.
RE: Pinoccio boobs - look back to the tummy tuck episode when kate is getting her free makeover. She wore a red shirt and was very small chested. I guess she reached puberty at 35. She should have discussed her very special bra shopping on the show.
RE: being broke. Sheep must be very confused. kate said we didn;t understand her needs times 8. She came right out and told a tweeter who said she had her own kids to support that she didn;t have as many kids. Then she told the guy that he should't assume her financial situation. Well who wouldn't when she is outright telling people OH CRAP THAT SUX WE COULD HAVE USED YOUR LAPTOPS. I GUESS OTHERS NEEDED TOO
RE: The adoption. On the original grifting website kate wrote their story. They were going to adopt a Korean boy but God steered them away form the idea and they went with fertility treatments.
RE: The expense of 8 kids. Why don;t these sheep ever ask themselves how all the other families with sextuplets pay their bills without begging? Also, kate holds Octomom with great disdain...Personally I cannot see the difference. Both chose to have more kids than they could handle and both moms are off their rocker.
RE: LIES - how hard is it to put 2plus2 together? You can mention anything kate has ever spoken of and there is always 2 or 3 different stories from kate;s mouth that contradict each other. These fans who live and breathe for her...which story do they accept? All of them? When did lying become something to look up too? I guess when it nets millions?
RE: Kids money. I hate when kate says it;s expensive to raise 8 kids. Pardon me but I'm pretty sure the kids paid their own way just by being born. JOn and kate did not have to pay for anything when they were babies and then TLC came around and the kids supported the family thru the show. I mean how many times do we see tweeters asking about the KIDS. They were the "stars" of that show. What does kate truly know about the cost of raising a large family? THose kids set that family up financially for a long time (if money was used responsibly)
RE: the House. Sheep say the kids needed the extra bedrooms. Sorry. House has same amount of rooms. 3 littles per room and twins in another. kate even said before the bedrooms are SMALLER in the new house. So no..it wasn't NEEDED. It was wanted. I don't begrudge them a nice house but lets be honest about need vs want.
RE: childcare expense: kate uses a sitter now and is the UNEMPLOYED breadwinner. How does she justify traveling all the time and using a 24 hour sitter for a week at a time, plus a daily sitter for after school and bus runs in the am...yet she wouldn't be able to pay for one if she was actually working 9-5 (while the kids are in school) CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT ONE?
RE: SOLE PROVIDER - i hate how kate brags about being the SOLE provider. Did Jon die? Did he quit his 2 jobs? What have I missed? Considering the show, books and church speeches all revolved around the 8 they are splitting the bills with Ms. Sit on her Duff and rub the Genie Lamp.
FINALLY: as much as I hate to be mean. I hope 2012 is the year that kate goes out of the public eye for good. She does not deserve to exploit her 8 any longer. It's time for the public to kiss her butt goodbye. She's a fraud, phony and a demented, documented liar and that should NEVER be rewarded.
OH: GREED - How do people miss her outright GREED and not be turned off by it. I find it disgusting. Yes I said it. DISGUSTING AND GROSS. She is a bottomless pit and that hole will never be filled. Not being content is a terrible way to go thru life.

More than one regular poster has admitted to being here specifically to see her fall. I don't know about you, but I sure as heck would call that wishing her harm.
I also live near Boston- Heartbreak Hill ;) I don't think Kate would make it...also a number of runners participate for charities.
I actually like to hear about once-'famous' kids and how they turn out as adults! I would probably read how the G8 turnout if their 'fame' declines or Twitter shuts down..
Kate has to be one of the most ignorant people on the planet.
I've been sitting here trying to think of ONE THING she is good at:
cooking. nope
decorating. nope
baking. nope
nursing. nope
child rearing. nope
wife. nope.
daughter. nope
sibling. nope......
(you get the idea)
The honest to pete thing I could only come up with? GRIFTING
I wonder what her family thinks of this mess.
For the sheep who think we are obsessed.
I'll tell you why I come here. I am one of those people who believe in the "do unto others." It makes me angry to see someone who lies get away with it. I hate to witness fraud. I abhor greed and hate excuses. I always believed in karma and kates story really shook me out of my innocent state of believing "good things happen to good people." It opened my eyes and upset me to see someone given so much who gave back so little. I guess I stick around waiting for karma to hit. If it's true the bigger the are , the harder they fall, then this GIANT ego should be getting quite the come-uppance someday. She really has treated people horribly. Has taken more than she needed. And still to this day, justifies fleecing innocent people . I cant respect that and I want her have to join the normal world again and face everyone she stepped on on her way to "stardom"

There is a big difference between hating a person and hating the behavior.
I read today that a 3 yr old died in Alaska due to parental neglect, 1 yr old is in hospital. What happened? Oh so smart parents decided to 'air out' their room due to bed wetting, the temp was -30.
I DO NOT wish Kate harm, that would speak ill of myself.
I want her to own up to being a parent, to quit talking about her kids in public, and put her kid's needs before her own. She doesn't put her kids before herself, too much footage proves this. (one that comes to mind, kids are puking on the boat, she is POINTING and LAUGHING at the sick child). A REAL mother would have said, turn off the damn camera, let's go to the hotel, and we are going home. Not Kate!
Sometimes it's just too much to take in...we have parents that abuse their kids, some die. And all these years there is footage that proves abuse...that's what drives us nuts. Children shouldn't have to pay their own way, parents should. That's what parents DO.
BTW, I don't think wanting someone to have to treat people with respect, and to have them face up to what they have done as wishing them HARM. It's called wishing them a dose of reality. We cant "wish away her money" Only kate can piss that away. With proper planning she should be set for life. I just want to see her humbled by going back to reality, become thankful, learn what a work ethic is, and not be given a platform to exploit her kids. I cannot for the life of me think of how that is wishing HARM. Its wishing the kids privacy and waiting for kate to apologize for being a giant ass to the many good people who helped her in life.
I guess all of us mediocre people are living a life of harm for having to be held to the standards of society, not defrauding others, not lying for a living, and not selling out our families.
Let me ask you this. Do you personally think kate relishes in seeing other experience joy? I have only seen her covet.
Re: Kate's lies
One of the tweeters reminded her that she had previously said that leap day was special because she found out that she was pregnant with the twins. Kate replied, in a vague and confused sounding tweet that she thought it was on St. Patrick's day.
This is the problem with lying. If the tweeter's statement was true (and I believe it) and if she really had found out on leap day, then she would remember it---because we remember the truth, but forget our lies.The twins birthday is on Oct. 8th, so she is saying that she found out that she was pregnant just 29 weeks before they were born. Even if they were a month premature, that is still around 7 weeks--way past the time it would be confirmed is she is being closely followed. If it was on leap day, that would be 2.5 weeks earlier--still too late for someone that is undergoing fertility treatment--maybe possible, but she would remember that it was on that day.
She just has to embellish everything, doesn't she? Baroness von Gosselin can't find out she is pregnant on an ordinary day of the week --that would make her mediocre!

____________________________________
Sad, you are being quite literal and interpreting what has been said to suit your own purposes. I am one of those posters you referred to, but I, in no way, wish Kate any physical harm...what we are talking about is poetic justice, or karma.
It is not fair for Kate to be rewarded monetarily, or otherwise, for her relentless rudeness, mockery, thankless grifting, and intolerable behavior, all of which is well documented.
It's simple, universal payback, nothing calculated and nothing requiring physical consequences or repercussions...we are NOT like Kate.
One story it absorbed early, another story she is quoted as saying it was a girl. incredible, huh?
______________
Actually, when she was interviewed by Billy Bush, she said that when she and the kids talked about it, they decided that it was a girl and her name would have been Emma Rose. She never said that it physicians or anyone else determined that it was a girl. That interview is somewhere on YouTube.
Of course she believed it was a girl. There were already three icky boys.
She also said at that time (two years ago) she was heavily in debt, and if she were financially set, she would disappear and Billy would never see her again. How much does she consider would be enough to make her go away?

Very profound.
Very true.

ya know, I've seen old footage of Kate in action, and the one that keeps pounding in my head is the garage sale ep, where she is standing there bitching (in a church parking lot, no less) about how cold she is, how stupid the company was that didn't bring the tables in time, how stupid the other company was that they misspelled a word, bitch, bitch , bitch. She is standing there, doing nothing, while Jon and others are running around trying to get everything set up. The worst part of it, was she was trying to sell the twin's Christmas ornaments their grandfather gave them, because KATE didn't like the mess the ornaments made. WTF!!!!! That ep showed me the kind of mother she is.
Damn, woman! If you don't like the ornaments, you could hang them in a display cabinet year-round, not sell them in a yard sale.

If all Kate wanted was this third child, why in the world would she chose fertility over adoption?
-------
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I believe adoption requires a Psychological Evaluation for each parent. Maybe this was an issue, if she really did try to adopt.
How can one afford a 3D TV and not 9 pair of glasses? Did not one fan notice that? How can they afford a 3D TV and not laptops? How does one jaunt off to various marathons and pay a nanny for a week straight but cannot afford 9 pair of glasses? And how does one brag about owning a $2000-$3000 TV but then tell a tweeter they don't understand the cost of raising 8 and should assume her finances.
HER $ and SHE will spend it as she pleases. Ya, no shit...we see that. Top of the line expenses for kate. Coupon clipping and grifting for the kids. It's so gross.
I asked it before and I will ask it again. Which is it kate???? Are you a successful best selling author, reality star of 5 years, paid speaker, DWTS alumi, TV guest who lives in an expensive house and drive 3 cars and has made a success of her life? A woman so famous she needs a paid full time bodyguard? (nevermind the kids dont have one)- or are you a poor grifter who reminds everyone of the old woman who lives in a shoe? Are you famous,rich and successful? Or an idiot who mismanaged the very little money paid by TLC so badly that you are back to grifting and clipping coupons?
Which story is it today? Purse full of bills? Famous sought after star?
"More than one regular poster has admitted to being here specifically to see her fall. I don't know about you, but I sure as heck would call that wishing her harm"
&&&&&&&&&&
What's you talkin' about, Willis? Have you read the threads here about stalkers, where it has been posted that harm to celebrities comes more from obsessive fans than non-fans? Go back and read how many people expressed their concern that something might happen to Kate if these fans are ignored and they turned on her. This is HARM. Nobody wants harm to come to her, and bloggers here are appalled when haters tweet that they wish something horrible would happen to her.
Fail - unsuccessful in achieving one's goal
Harm - injury, either physically, morally or mentally
The two are not synonymous.
Let me pull out my handy little dictionary here.
Huh, harm and fall are two completely different words with two completely different meanings.
If you read the post here, you would see the massive concern here expressed for Kate's safety around all the psychos she communicates with. The end.
So these 8 kids who constantly ask "when is out next lavish trip" dont NEED to go to a movie. Im confused. I thought they deserved life on a Golden Plate. Now they are happy just earning good grades? So, what do you tell them when they cry times 8 for a vacation? Why are you trying your damndest to get them a grifted vacation if they don't "need it"
And why doesn't this standard apply to kate? Why isn't she happy with what she has? Why does SHE need more while the kids don't? I'm so confused. Luckily her fans appear to easily sold to be confused.

Case in point, the innocent movie goer last night.
Instead of Kate saying that's say cool you're able to take your kids to the movies I'm happy for you. That's not something we do but I do make sure my kids get lots of similar social experiences.
Instead? She starts bragging about trips around the world. She wanted to one-up the movie-goer. She can't be happy that a hard working mom is providing nice things to her kids.
Em,
I like how you think. APPLAUSE :)
From the picture posted here it looks as if Katie Irene has packed on some poundage. Must not be exercising as much as she says she is, duh big shocker there.
Because she only wanted that singleton baby once she'd had her HOM, taken advantage of having HOM and wanted the attention that would come with having a baby on tv. I'm sure she could already hear the "Wow! A new baby while you're super mom to 8, did you hear that, EIGHT kids, 6 of them the same age. You are such a super Mom!! Here, have some more money, new stuff for the baby, ohh and you'll need a new car, and a bigger house and...."
All healthy but I am full! Try to find a healthy alternative... There's always fat free fig newmans ;)
-------------
Uh, Kate, it's 'newtons'.
Kate the Great thinks fat free stuff is healthy. WHAT A MORON.
Gee, are those 'fat free fig newmans' ORGANIC??
How can ANYONE be so incredibly stupid. ugh!
kate is financially bipolar.
Kids need vacations but not movies.
TheY cant afford afford 3D glasses for all but get the TV.
They need a Mercedes but kate only calls it that to one-up someone. When speaking of her need the Mercedes part is left out. (has anyone prices maintenance or tires for a Mercedes van? ouch)
They cannot afford milk but eat all organic.
They cannot afford laptops for all but go to a high end private school.
kate has a purse full of bills and buys an Audi even though she has a Land Cruiser and a Mercedes Sprinter.
kate cannot afford gymnastics but employs a nanny and a bodyguard.
kate cannot afford airfare times 8 but spends hundreds on just her hair every 6 weeks.
kate grifts for cereal but dines a Fig and Olive while the limo waits outside.
kate begs churches for donations for braces times 8 but closes on a 1.2 mil house.
kate eludes that TLC did not pay well, yet said they HAD to have the show to survive.
only kate has to deal with the stress of paying for the children she wanted. NO ONE ELSE has worries becasue they do not have 8 kids, yet kate's net worth is estmimated at 5 mil.
braces are a feared expense, but a boob job plus botox every 6 months is in the budget.
AGAIN - SO CONFUSED
DOES NO FAN SEE THIS?
Sorry aggiemom09121416, but Paul Newman's company puts out "fig newmans". Hate to do it but Kate gets this one.
There is not one of them who I do not find funny and I would trust my children to them.
====================================
You are kidding, right? ;) Please reassure me.
Ummmmmm, in my pantry I have "Fat Free Newmans". They are part of the Newman's Own product line, whose sales profits go to charity.
Brava EM, brava!!
haha, I stand corrected. (red in face)
I don't buy fig newtons, regardless of brand.
(I've never seen this particular product, perhaps my area doesn't carry it).
sorry for my error. :)
but, she is still wrong in thinking fat free is healthy...

'Star' followers just want to be in an elite group with their idol. They believe any negative issue that they read/hear/see about their idol is a personal attack.
Now that you mention it said 15:
"I love knowing that there are other people, like me, who know that perfection in parenting is impossible, but that it really isn't all that difficult to put your children first, to care for and nurture them responsibly, and to respect their individuality and their right to a private, supportive childhood."
...................................................................................................................
Mention, that was beautiful! This is exactly why I read here. It gives me hope... I particularly appreciate all the personal stories fromm all the lovely ladies who express themselves on this blog. In these days and ages, I find it comforting to know that there are still mothers everywhere who are ready to give their very "mediocre" best so that their children rise to their full potential in a loving environnement.
Yes, as you wrote, "perfection in parenting is impossible". All one can do is try. It doesn't take money, or a big mansion, or 'making memory trips", or a job in the entretainment business. All it takes is the will to nurture... so that one day, as the lyrics of "Summertime" go...
"On one of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spred your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But 'till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy 'n mamma standing by..."
Em #129,
YES!
You go, girl!
Again, you are so right...
I have an EX-sister-in-law, she was a total narcissist...always had to have the hair, nails, clothing..(they had a 4500 sq foot house, EVERY closet in the house was used for her clothes, no kidding. After they split, the boys moved with their dad, and they told me that was the first time they had ever been allowed to use a closet!)
She had to have the largest gems, the best purses, had to have two rolex watches...it was so grating when they came to visit for holidays, she would sit on her butt and boss and screech the whole time about how the food wasn't healthy enough for her kids to eat (yet she didn't offer to come into the kitchen and fix them something she approved of)..she would say things like, ' Go out to the LEXUS and get my coach purse; or "Go out to the LEXUS and get my diamond rolex".
It was just crazy, every word that came out of her mouth.
It's funny to talk about now, like we didn't know she had a damn lexus, lol.
And the sad thing about it, she was the most miserable person you would ever meet. Now that they are divorced, she still bitches, even though the boys live with my brother, he gives her 8,000 a month in child support, and they don't even live with her. Says he doesn't want her to be homeless, and now she bitches that 8000 isn't ENOUGH. OMG
Ok the recap is coming. It won't be that long, just a round up.

What a freak! It's much harder to clean a carpet than the floor or wipe down a couch or that coffee table.
______________
Kate told them if they got one bit of sugar on the floor they would be picking it up.
So I bet the kids know not to get anything on the floors or carpets.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm surprised the kids are not sitting on a floor carpeted with trash bags.
anger issues #198 last page..That is what is annoying about kate. She sells herself as organized and a bargain hunter but she doesn't live it. The only time kate claimed to shop after a holiday to save money was when she forgot about Halloween because she was too busy going to New York to be on the View, kate, as always, is nothing that she claims to be. She's damn lucky TLC gave her that phony brand because it has made her a lot of money. Her lazy self should actually TRY to live up to it. No one likes a phony.
Can I say something about the 3D TV?
In the fall, our main TV died. My eldest (18) did lots of research on TVs, best value, size vs cost, black levels, etc, etc. We ended up getting a 3D TV - it has a fabulous non-3D picture. We only bought one pair of glasses (to verify the 3D worked, for use with video games).
The picture she tweeted looked like she was showing a standard definition DVD on the TV, and probably doesn't know you can adjust how it is shown on the TV through a menu.
And she only has to remember "3D" to brag.
Sad indeed: The only harm we wish on Kate is that she fall off her platform and get a dose of real reality, Kate has been living in a vaccuum/lala land, chasing fame, for 8 years. Kate has no idea on what real reality is anymore. Kate is so far from normal, how dare she compare herself to regular moms, Kate even said it herself, she is not going to give her kids mediocre, which means, Kate considers herself above mediocre=everyone.
Now don't shoot me: But Kate tweeted that one of the boys is real smart that he can add example: 22 +44 =67 not it's =66, but according to Kate her kid is smart. A kid is smart, when the answer is correct. Telling any child, that give a wrong answer, that they are smart and will be an engineer is setting that kid up for failure. And at some point, that kid will be put on the spot, to be tested to prove they are smart. And when they give a wrong answer, will be made fun of and feel like a fool, cause momma Kate said they are special and smart. That is so wrong, for any child to be told that. And on this, what my kid will become, is not a good idea either. A teacher told my mother that I would be at 16, pregnant and a school drop-out. Geez, I finished HS, went to Jr College and graduated at a 4 yr with a BA. Just like a Nun told my sister-in-law, she was going to be a designer, my sister-in-law can't even do crafts, has no talent for decorating either, no gardener either, she can't design her way out of a bag, and has no interest in it either. So any parent or adult, should not fore tell a childs future. They should tell them to do their best in school and let the future unfold by itself, but let them try things, to see if they have a talent for it. And don't force them into anything.
aggiesmom. I'm sure you are quite content to be normal. Have you ever noticed the ones who brag about material things seem to be the most unhappy. I have friend like the person you mentioned. This girl is so wrapped up on brand names and drops them at every chance, yet she never had a successful relationship and did not raise her own kids. Funny how greed seems to disassociate people
When people value THINGS over people they tend to end up with just that in life. THINGS
More than one regular poster has admitted to being here specifically to see her fall. I don't know about you, but I sure as heck would call that wishing her harm.
====
Well according to Newtons law of gravity what goes up must come down. We're just watching while it's being applied to Kate. I will admit I take a little guilty pleasure in it, but never to see her "harmed"...that's just twisting words.
I hope you're not the type who insists that people refer to Cinderalla's stepsisters as attractively challenged. Or are you?
Can anyone think of one story kate has given and actually stuck too? She rewrites history daily. Anyone? I'm serious. The only one I can think of that she has been pretty consistant of during filming and her books is her alluding to Hannah being her favorite.
Lets have a contest and see who can come up with a a story that has held the test of time without being changes, embellished or completely changed. Admin, maybe the winner can suggest a topic for a post?
um ok my writing is terrible tonight. Been on call for work 64 hours straight. Getting loopy
Em,
Your friend sounds just like my ex sister-in-law.
I guess I am the least materialistic person on the planet, I don't have a lot, never had a lot, and don't see the value of owning a lot of 'stuff'.
She was estranged from both her parents, they never saw her three children. Yet the parents sent the kids gifts, one yr the grandmother sent the kids all matching sweaters...she actually had the kids' christmas pics taken in these sweaters, yet she never acknowledged where they came from, never sent her pics, nothing.
She hated all women, yet loved every man in the family, and shamelessly threw herself at my uncle. It was embarrassing.
One yr, they visited my mom for mother's day, my brother presented her with a very nice, leather engraved bible..she started screeching, "You are gonna pay for this! Get your clothes on!! So my mom, my brother, and the three kids (who were all in car seats still), had to get dressed, get in the LEXUS, and go to the city to an exclusive dress store so she could get what she thought she deserved for mother's day. (the bible wasn't an off the wall gift, they most of the time went to church)
Oh, here's another story...she didn't work, didn't need to, my brother made an unreal salary, so with three little kids, she needed a full time nanny and a housekeeper...she decided the housekeeper didn't have enough to do every day, so she tried to 'farm her out', those were her words.
She was something else.
Totally off topic, but this is one of the reasons Kate drives me nuts. She is so much like my ex sister in law.
Someone is have a blast on twitter tonight recounting Kate's scamming of church 39 days before they closed on their 1.2 Million dollar home. Funny how shit doesn't stick to this broad.

I haven't read all of the posts but I do remember the Kienast family and curiosity got the best of me so I quickly Googled. It's a very sad but interesting story. Sorry if this link has been previously posted.

TV is not the same w/o K+8. How about some specials, updates, something, We need to check in with the Gosselins PLEASE!!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
This is what infuriates me so dang much about these stupid sheeple. They are addicted to the Gosselins and they think they are owed a look into their private lives just because they are fans and supported them for the life of their show. They just don't get it. They don't NEED to check in with the Gosselins, and the Gosselins don't NEED to continue to be put on display for the fans so that they get their Gosselin "fix." The fans seem to have the same entitlement issues that she does.

It was posted earlier on this thread - the actual church "announcement" that detailed the change of venue to Keswick Theater and the request for love offerings.

She's addicted to tanning, knows that it's bad for her, but continues to tan because she's allergic to spray-on tans.
EM #145 One example of Kate's deception is when she called the film crew the "Dads" and claimed that they played with the kids, read them books, etc.. She said this ridiculous comment while on "The Talk" show, adding that the kids would miss those Dads so much if the show was cancelled, but because the crew was like family, they would be in the kids lives forever. LOL
Then on the Dr. Drew show, as he was stating how he supported her now failed reality show, he asked if she missed having all of those helping hands from the film crew..that they must have been a great help to her with all the kids, and she then countered her previous claim and said this: Oh no, they didn't help with the kids, but she missed having them do things for her, like carrying a heavy box down to the basement. Geez..unbelievable. She is so dull mentally, with no memory of anything she has said or even done in some cases, so her deceptions just keep happening over & over again, right out in the open for everyone to see. Really, Kate makes up life as she goes along. Probably very little of it is the truth.
There were 2 reasons Kate created the "Dads" story while on the "The Talk" show, and those reasons were to put Jon down and then to sing the praises of exploiting her kids on TV. The show was not yet cancelled at that time.
Audible Chick - 149, thank you for that link. Sad reading. I was just relying on my memory.
Moose Mania - GOOD ONE. How much do you wanna bet she is lying about the allergy to spray tans tho. I don't know why, I just think she is because I can never take anything out of her mouth at face value.
Aggies MOn. You sound like me. I do not care for stuff. I simply don't. And I totally get why kate bugs you. She bugs me and I don't even know her! Yet she has said what I see is real and although I find her to be a liar..her attitude is REAL and I cannot stand people like her. So entitled and the worst part is she has no reason to have her nose in the air. She has no special skills to bring to the table. She is not even entertaining. She's a mediocre as they come. Actually less because she is not interesting at all. She's boring and cannot hold a decent conversation. DULL! I may be mediocre but at least I can hold a conversation that doesn't revolve around me.

Permanent Name,
You're being baited. I understood your post just fine. You are better than kate.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Butterfly, thank you.
I would venture a guess that, with the exception of head-case fans and trolls, all of us are better mothers, wives and people than kart.
Anyone who has kind thoughts, lives a truthful respectful life and raises their children with love and respect beats her everytime.
Aggie's mom...don't feel bad about the fig newsome's. I got burned on that, too, about a year ago. :)

Our kids prayers at church today were for all of those who lost their homes in the recent outbreak of tornadoes.

2. Her audacity in calling herself a "Writer" and a "Television Personality" is completely insulting to all of the people who actually possess talent in those areas and are struggling to eek out an acceptable living from it.
===============================
Berks Neighbor said... 168
She is despicable and an abomination when it comes to her parenting.
===============================
AuntieAnn said... 174
Berks, yes. She's maligned the very word. She is as ill-equipped at parenting as she is at dancing and public speaking. Her only talents are lying and grifting and she's not even a good liar anymore.
=================================
Kate insults everyone who works hard at a career or craft when she expects the same rewards and accolades handed over to her on her famous golden platter. It's one thing to have a dream, but most people expect to put hard work, time, training, talent, and skill into their dream. Kate has no concept of that.
As an author and speaker, I work hard at what I do, and I make a good living. But it doesn’t come easy. I’ve been trained, work long hours writing, endure tedious drives and sometimes have to travel to speak across the state(s) for two engagements in a single day. Occasionally, I have to be in five different places in the same week, traveling between each. It's really grueling, nothing glamorous about it. (Being nice along the way is part of the hard work, by the way...tired or not.)
It's taken me many years to write two books with three more partially completed. They're good sellers, but not because I just "wished" they would be or "had a dream," as Aggiemom pointed out.
I’m sure there are those here who are REAL gourmet cooks. She insults you. REAL marathoners. She insults you. Talented bloggers, like Admin...Kate insults you. Several people here posted excellent coupon strategies. She insults you. We’ve heard from moms of large families who genuinely ARE "Supermom Kate" insults you.
It ticks me off that Kate wants all the glamour, perks, fame, and money with NONE of the work, NONE of the talent, NONE of the time invested, and NONE of the training. (She doesn't even think she has to be polite or grateful to people along the way. Complete entitlement.) Nursing, the one thing for which she actually is qualified, is “too mediocre” for her.
Aggiemom, I'll add another list to yours: glam occupations Kate thinks should be handed to her, with perquisite fame and money but without work, talent, or training. Imagine not only thinking you can do any ONE of the careers below without time, talent, or training; imagine you think you can do ALL of them!
1. voice overs
2. TV talk show host
3. radio talk show host
4. "TV personality" (whatever that is)
5. actress (fan suggested she "play a nurse" and she eagerly agreed.)
6. dancer (Although she admitted not being able to dance, she cockily said she’d “kill it”)
7. travel show host
8. organizing guru
9. supermom
10. expert at creative crafting
11. motivational speaker
12. fitness expert
13. running coach
14. weight loss coach
15. nutritional expert
16. gourmet cook
17. coupon expert
18. blogger
19. “best-selling” author
20. speaker

Yes, the fact that she wanted "just one more" but Jon was happy with the twins.
As a former fan I recently re-read Multiple blessings and now have picked up on several things that I didn't the first time. One thing that really struck me was that she never bonded with those babies when they came home. She talks about Jon taking the babies from volunteers and bringing each one into their bedroom for her to kiss goodnight then he would take the sleeping baby and put it in its crib. What kind of mother does that? I can understand needing the volunteers for feeding but why would you not spend those last few minutes before sleep holding and cuddling. All though we are talking Kate Gosselin super mom to 8 count 'em 8 kids.
I don't understand the need for anyone - a celebrity or an unknown - to put their lives on the internet or make personal information public for the world. Yes, this is a new world of technology, social networking, facebook, etc., but WHY is this done? Kate feels the need to tell all. I'd love to hear from a psychologist why, in this day and age, such revelations are part of daily life for so many.
Regarding the twins being embarrassed by Kate's blabbing about things that should be private. I know that my kids would be humiliated beyond belief if I talked about such things with even the closest relatives or friends, let alone running my mouth about it on public radio. I wonder, though, since everything about their lives has been made public since they were toddlers, if they have not become desensitized to all of this. They know their mother - they know that she can't keep her mouth shut about anything, and therefore, they just accept it as "normal" for her. That is not to say that in the future they won't look back and wonder why she did that, and then the horror will sink in. This has been Kate's problem since the get-go. She lives for the moment and can't figure out that what she says in the spur of the moment may come back to haunt her and her kids. She can't foresee any consequences to her words and actions.
Isn't there anyone in her life who can silence this woman and just make her see that you don't go spouting off about her kids because it may come back to haunt her? Then again, would she really care?
Oh, Dallas Lady,
Have I told you lately that I love you? If not, I'm telling you now. I am so sorry that your Mom could not see the wonderfully witty,sweet, beyond cool ,make me cry and laugh my arse off person that I have gotten to love on this blog.I always love your posts ,so it is your Mom's loss and our gain that we found you here.
I am so sorry that you missed out on the experience of being loved by a good Mom.It sure is clear why you have such clear insight into Kate and her behavior.I remember Kate smiling in that duck,duck, goose game but she may have been into the wine that day or got lucky! with someone, I'll say Jon ,for appearances sake.
I also remember her almost smirking when one one of the boys was driving his car on her arm one time.She sid she loved that because of some lame ass excuse, sore muscles or rhematiz? setting in.I think if she was actually smiling, it might have been a stunt double TLC brought in, trying to make her look the part of loving Mom she was braggin' about being! ha, ha, makes more sense than she actually enjoyed something.
Just gonna slide up beside you in my lawn chair, to enjoy the rest of this show.It's been too long comin' for me.Brought you some Canadian beer and perogies. Bless you, D.L.
This was replaying this A.M. from 6-8. Her favorite sayings "Oh my Gosh" and "Like". God she makes me sick. She talks "like" a 7th grade girl and the way she never curses she acts like she is superior to everyone. I would rather have someone curse up a storm and not be evil inside like her. What a phoney. Curse a little will you you phoney baloney witch.
rheumatism- duh.....I am a good nurse, I am a good nurse.
