Wait! Don't adjust your screens! This is Tucker's Mom, Travoltified! Remember when I wrote here that I thought that perhaps there might be Vaseline smeared on the teleprompter because so many presenters were flubbing? Well, it got even better! John Travolta (and his hair piece) presented and introduced the one and only Elpheba, Idina Menzel, as "Adele Dazeem", so I thought we could try on some new screen names. It's like that "what would your stripper name be?" game! Oh, btw, Kate Gosselin is "Kade Gonzeeles"
Anonymous said... 150 Jon said he and Kate haven't communicated by phone for years. They text. I think Dr.Jenn witnessed what she thought was a call between Jon and Kate. She didn't say she actually heard Kate on the other end. It's strange that they would start communicating by phone while he is on CT. I know Kate is stupid, but I don't think even she is that stupid.
Carmen ****** Kate is a lying liar who lies, Carmen. Kate is ON CAMERA dialing up Jon and talking to him, then passing the phone to the kids to speak to him during FILMING. Was that fake, too? Was Kate faking dialing Jon? We never heard his voice then, either. Were the kids faking talking to their dad??
To base your view on what Kate has said is like building a house on sand.
Well, well. Perhaps Uncle Steve was there after all. The guy is a parasite. I had so hoped he had moved on. That night out must have cost a pretty penny. Kate killed two birds with one stone: Steve time and buttering up the twins.
I don't find a therapist who participates in trashy reality TV to be ethical int he first place, so I don't think it would be beyond her to lie. YMMV. March 3, 2014 at 7:20 PM ***** As someone who has a license to practice in her career in healthcare, let me tell you something- you do NOT fuck with that. Dr. Jen could have stayed out of it, or lied by omission, but she stuck her nose right into it. If she's lying, she's an IDIOT to jeopardize her license to practice. The implications and your insinuations are far more serious than I think you even understand.
If they had juicy footage of a fight with his ex-wife, what are the odds that the only portion they would show is him hanging up the phone and then cursing, after the fact, not AT her directly?
&&&
Pretty high odds, given that they would have been required by law to get a release from Kate before airing her phone call. Think Kate signed off on that? I don't.
------------------------
With Kate's penchant for suing, can you imagine how fast she would have been on the phone to her attorneys if they had shown all or part of a conversation with her?
I forgot to add that TLC would do the SYTTDress WITHOUT TCFW! And film it without her knowledge.
Jon would be able to turn the tables back on TCFW while filming at Kleinfeld's. When she found out that that they were filming, she would call Jon and Jon just not answer the phone or texts! She would be in a frenzy like she was trying to get the 1D tickets a while back.
I also saw the tweet from the girl that saw Kate and kids at concert. She was asked if they were accompanied by a grey haired man about 5'7 or 5'8 and she replied "Yeah". Now just what in the heck does she need a bodyguard to go to a lousy concert for. She is more delusional than I thought. Some of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood seem to be able to go out and about without one. What on earth could Kate possibly be worried about now that she has pretty much been forgotten by most people on the planet.
Dmasy, thank you so much. I am ridiculously excited. I even considered driving to Oklahoma to pick him up today. Then it dawned on me that it's 600 miles one way and that put an end to that idea.
NJGal, thank you also. Him's gorgeous and I think he knows it. I knew you'd get this ridiculous state I'm in. I've been sending all his "baby" pictures to my friends, which are like 23 from the breeder's site. Needless to say, I'm not the most popular emailer (is that a word? if not, it should be lol) at the moment ;) When we bought out last bully, he was already thirteen weeks and was like a bulldozer. For awhile he answered to Dozer. Then we named him Winston but my husband called him Snubby. All our dogs have two names LOL. No wonder it's mass confusion. Oh and I sometimes referred to Winston as chop chop as in pork chop so that made three for him. I've got a question for you since it's been ten years since I've had a bully puppy, Do you have any recommendations for chew toys or just toys in general for him? He'll be nine weeks when I get my paws on him and want to have everything in order.
Capecodmama and Susie in Cincinnati, I LOVE your ideas. I was batting around with Peter, Gunter, Dieter and Gus. But Gustav is so much better than the (Au)gus(tus) I had in mind.
I just briefly looked at the Daily Fail (Mail) and saw they're running a story about how Jon supposedly placed a fake call to TFMJG full of obscenities. I haven't had time to read all through this thread to find out the real scoop from you guys, but I'm guessing it's lies as usual. I just get the feeling that Jon will never ever get a break no matter what he does. Her stupid fans have her unfairly posed on a pedestal and when he screws up and acts up sometimes, like a normal human, it gives them free reign to begin hurling mud again. I don't know how he takes it. I'd have to smoke and drink too. ;)
Was reading the rules for child custody in PA. It spells out exactly what Jon is going through right now, and says to report things like that to the court. Even talks about parental alienation. It says the person breaking the rules will be responsible for the court costs..so Jon doesn't even need money to file his complaints. So, to me, this means that either Jon is not reporting that Kate is depriving him of his kids during custody time, or else the courts are terribly broken there. It's been 7 months since he last saw the one boy..surely the court would have addressed that by now, if it had been reported?
When Kim Novak came on with MM, I didn't catch there name announcements, I was on the computer, but had the tv on. When I looked up, I saw her and I thought it really was Ursula Andress! lol
I cannot believe KN is 81 years old! Her face was wrinkle free, no 81 yr. old has a wrinkle free face! Her face was so tight, she couldn't hardly speak. I remember over 20 years ago, TV guide did an article about her private life and it was one of the best articles I have ever read in TV guide.
I'm not commenting on the ROL story. The barnyard loves it when they can deflect from TFW's shenanigans with something Jon related. And I ain't takin' the bait.
Regarding said shenanigans...the TFW said she "stockpiled memories." Stockpiled? What a bizarre choice of word. She is neither articulate nor eloquent. And even if the tickets were grifted -- between the driver and/or Steve, whatever swag/food was purchased at the venue, and childcare for the 6 for about 10 hours, that concert must've set TFW back hundreds of dollars. I'm happy that M & C got to do something special. But let's not hear any more phony bellyaching about "piecing and patching" from their lying mother who lies. Who still buys into that nonsense?
I'm still betting there's a "Tups Turn Ten!" People cover in the works. Maybe the 6 will get to enjoy spring break week taking posed pictures in the park. At least it would get them out of the house.
With Kate's penchant for suing, can you imagine how fast she would have been on the phone to her attorneys if they had shown all or part of a conversation with her?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which explains why they only showed the clip of Jon saying on the phone "I want to talk to my children" a handful of times. She probably saw it/heard about it and quashed it ASAP so they couldn't show any of the conversation.

Now just what in the heck does she need a bodyguard to go to a lousy concert for. She is more delusional than I thought ****** Either Kate has learned helplessness courtesy of years of pampering and indulging by TLC, or she's got a serious phobia. Kate has NEVER been out and about in the world alone. She went from BF to BF at a young age, and never experienced being fully independent. Despite Kate's crowing about how much she's grown and does everything on her own, she is a very dependent person. Also, the concert was close to where Steve lives, so he might have met them there. If Kate paid for Steve to come up to PA, then go back down to VA, I just have to laugh.
If Steve had a conscience, he would sit Kate down and tell her that she doesn't need him anymore. It's over, and she is wasting the children's money paying for him. Even Shirley Temple's bodyguard one day had to pack his bags and leave, she wasn't famous anymore and he wasn't needed.
If she wants a buddy to go to a concert, she should take her mom, or a girlfriend, or a church friend. Does she really have no one at all? Maybe all her friends have to WORK Monday morning and can't be frolicking off the Virginia on a school night.

I have a sneaking hunch I know the identity of this blogger. She has posted here in the past to stir the pot, then posts on her TL about what is said and done here, calling out admin and other bloggers here.
I think that under another name, she's been cautioned about posting rules violations.
Do you have any recommendations for chew toys or just toys in general for him? He'll be nine weeks when I get my paws on him and want to have everything in order. ***** Hi Kelly- we just added a puppy to our family and I too just can't stop looking at his adorable face. He's a good soul, too- confident, outgoing, friendly and devilish, too. Remy's favorite chew toys are Nylabones. These are terrific! http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11316632&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo
Make sure you don't get the edible chewy "bones", just the teething. Also, places like Home Goods and Tuesday Morning are fantastic for getting all sorts of gear and toys for cheap.
Perhaps the scenario was Jon called one if the twins, she answered, was having a conversation with dad, Kate overheard and was so pissed grabbed the phone and laid into Jon. I did not watch CT so I am unaware of the circumstances as to why he would even call Kate directly except to irritate her deliberately. I do believe there was a call, though, probably as part of something CT wanted to include.
Who knows what Steve has said to her about expenses and $$$; he is not her life coach, and if she wants to pay him to escort her and the children on an occasional basis that is her business. Of course it's ridiculous, but IMO it has more to do with her phobic personality than about wanting to be seen as a stah. When the TLC show started she was a very provincial young woman who had hardly traveled outside her environs. She did not even feel comfortable driving the van on the highway. With all the crazy crap that goes on in her brain, this inability to deal with the public is just part of it, even the simple idea of driving to a concert, parking and walking into the venue with her teens is beyond her. Add in the sprinkle of remembered fame, and she cannot move out of that zone. Trust me, I think the need for 'protection' is crazy and a waste of money but I really think she has major phobias.
I don't find a therapist who participates in trashy reality TV to be ethical int he first place, so I don't think it would be beyond her to lie. YMMV. ________
Well ya know you don't have to watch it if you don't find it to be ethical .
Alot of TV show have therapist not just CS. -Hoarding buried alive. -Drphil. Dr Dre All crime shows on HNL. -Most TLC shows have had therapist on them.
Kelly, congrats on your new addition. I believe you said you also have a boxer? If so, please let me know how he does with the puppy. I'm considering adding on to our family as well, and though my baby LOVES LOVES LOVES every kind of dog or cat he's encountered, he has no idea that he is 70lbs and not the 15lbs lap dog that he thinks he is.
As far as chewing aids, my vet recommended dehydrated sweet potatoes, and we love them! They are so much better and safer for him vs raw hides or bones (no wheat, corn, or soy!), and serve as treats too. They also come in a variety of sizes for chew (mouth size). You can buy commercially made ones (just be sure you know source as some cheaper imported ones from China have been known to be contaminated), or you can make your own cheaply and easily at home.
We love these:http://www.amazon.com/Veggie-Rawhide-Potato-Treats-1-Pound/dp/B000AOOR3C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393946473&sr=8-1&keywords=sweet+potatoe+dog+chew

See I think everyone who is accepting money owes a duty to their clients to speak up if their services are really not needed.
If you come in to get new tires put on, the mechanic looks at your old tires and sees that you still have 20,000 miles left on them, shouldn't he say something about that? Sir, sure you don't want to go with your old tires a little longer, they've got a fair amount of mileage left.
A doctor doesn't bill someone to put stitches in when it's just a splinter.
A lawyer is ethically barred from pushing through divorce paperwork if their client is indicating they are trying to reconcile.
Amazon suggests free shipping to you first before you go ahead and pay for the faster shipping at a price.
So too do I believe a bodyguard is obligated to suggest their pricey services may not be necessary when they are not necessary. However, it is possible Steve did tell her that and she wants him anyway, so who knows.
Regarding the phone call to Jon from Australia- not sure if I'm recalling this correctly, but didn't she hold the phone for some of the kids instead of and letting them hold it on their own?
I also thought it very odd (and telling) that on the Say Yes to the Dress, episode that she did not bring along a friend or family member. Especially considering both the occasion and the format of the show, (part of the premise of the show is taking everyone's opinion of the dress into account). Plus, I can't imagine picking out such an important dress without my loved ones/friends input.
Are there any you tube wizards out their that can help?
Terri- I'm so glad that you saw the tweets about Steve too. I was beginning to think I was recalling it incorrectly.
Lastly, I don't think Jon is a good enough actor to have faked that reaction about trying to communicate with his children.

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 9m Good Am! Does any1 know of local (Lancaster, Pa area) Amish furniture makers who make well made wooden cribs for dolls??! #bdayrequest #thx
Is she looking for freebies again? Why can't she use google or the yellow pages? Maybe she's hoping that one of her tweeties will send them for the tups birthday.
And I still don't know any 10 year old that would want a doll crib for their birthday.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 18m Good Am! Does any1 know of local (Lancaster, Pa area) Amish furniture makers who make well made wooden cribs for dolls??! #bdayrequest #thx ***** Kate- a stone's throw from Amish Country- wants someone to tell her where to get this. Such a grifter. Who called it? Someone here did. Be on notice, sheep, the tups are turning 10 and you'd better get your gifts in the mail now! Such a grifter.
Poor Kate. Wait until she finds out just how much a well made wooden crib, by an Amish craftsman no less, will set her back. And for a 10th birthday too? Here's a thought - google this idea yourself, and then, with all the hours you have in the average day, takes some drives in the countryside and wait, commission these doll cribs. Oh, right, putting your child's birthday request out on Twitter is so much better. This will give the tweeny fans two months to organize, purchase and ship you some grifted gifts. Tool.

There's probably even a Tups Turn Ten Media Tour in the works as soon as the school year ends! The View producer is probably chomping at the bit for that one.
A Demi Lovato concert, how predictable. Come to where the action is, college basketball games! Check this article out. Http://news.vcu.edu/article/The_other_side_of_havoc Check our the video on the page sidebar too.
Kelly - Our bully also answers to (at least) 3 different names. The funniest being "Stinkerbell" because, well, he farts. He's not as farty as some of the others have been but he has his moments.
We give him deer antlers to satisfy his chewing needs. They don't splinter and really stand up to heavy chewing. Harts also makes a dogwood "stick" in their pet stages line. He loves it. It kind of smells like a stick which I uses they like. It seems to crumble as he chews. I found it at Target. As I said, it's part of their pet stages line and comes in all different sizes. It's also available at Amazon. It can be messy though as it seems to crumble - which is a good thing because I know he's not swallowing chunks of it.
I don't know whether the concert tickets were grifted or not, but either way, she didn't pay for them or Steve out of her pocket. I suspect both items were paid out the kids trust, (certainly they both fall under her version of safety and welfare).
Gosh, it's like she's intentionally egging us on with these tweets! We call the Transparent First Wife a miserable grifter, and, right on cue, she delivers.
Do the boys get a birthday request? Maybe a day off from chicken duty?
The Only Blessing that could come out of the Tups Turn Ten photo cover is that Jon will get to see an updated photo of the boy tup that he hasn't seen in several months.
She is a toxic tool through and through.
I wonder if Steve and TCFW sat in the back of the divider limo and M and C had to sit in front with the driver.
Kind of funny Kate was outed by a tweeter about the concert. She had to come out and admit she was there. The seats were not that great, ha, ha.
I agree that hauling Steve around has nothing to do with security and more about her inability to be independent, yet her twitter image is the exact opposite. She will never admit she still needs Steve to drive her to places not in her comfort zone or guide her through airports. And you can bet your last dollar Steve did not meet them there but was the chauffeur.
He does not have an ounce of integrity. As long as she writes out checks, he will be at her beck and call. He knows she has issues.
In regards to her grifting tweet on Amish doll cribs, she just cannot control herself. You're telling me that those girls will appreciate such a thing? That they specifically asked for handcrafted Amish cribs? And Kate will get three, because you know the tup girls have exactly identical tastes. I have always wondered if Kate was disappointed the tups were not identical because she sure refuses to let them blossom as individuals.
Does anyone believe that all three tup girls want a wooden doll crib for their 10th bday? I bet at least one of them would rather receive something else.
My Travoltified name is Nina Jernes. I actually like it.
OT-I know we discussed this case here at one time, so I wanted to bring everyone up to date. Seems the Guidice's have entered into a plea deal regarding their federal indictments.
So after people tweeted Kate different websites about the doll cribs, she then tweets:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 23m Thx for websites everyone! I'm trying to avoid shipping costs so am looking locally.... Thanks for local Amish furniture recommendations!
Again, I ask, why couldn't she do her own research to find exactly what she was looking for? Did she expect only locals to answer her question? Why tweet it at all?
For someone who people praise for "doing it all", she sure acts helpless at times.
I'm sure shes putting the word out to every T.V. producer, radio station, and magazine editor that exists to shout from the rooftop that her kids are turning 10. Its the most important event in the history of the world!! I have no doubt there will be some takers. Here we go again..."we miss filming"...."we miss the crew" (any crew) "We miss the trips"...OMG...can't wait till its over. Its stupid and ridiculous at this point. But she'll be happy to get her mug on tv again and get all the special treatment that goes along with it. This whole begging for a show thing is really getting comical. She will do her best to take total advantage of this important occasion. Will she ever give up? WHAT A JERK....I hope theres no takers but.....there will be. YUK!!
It's so ironic that the self-proclaimed Queen of Kooponing needs help when she wants to save money! Has anyone tweeted back that she should check out her own website? Too funny- what an idiot.
Tucker's mom said... If she's lying, she's an IDIOT to jeopardize her license to practice. The implications and your insinuations are far more serious than I think you even understand. ------- Exactly. She could have invoked confidentiality or professional reasons for not responding. If Kate goes on the record herself, she could be dude for libel (or defamation? Can never remember which one is written). If it didn't happen, why didn't she set the record straight? If it was a lie, she would.
If someone else says it, she isn't responsible for it.
Why wouldn't Kate pick up a phone and call someone to ask about Amish furniture? Henry? It just goes to show how isolated she is- no one left in her life except her make up gal.
Didn't she just pay a bodyguard for the day.(waste of money) but now she's worried about a "shipping charge"??? Is this a joke or something? This is an early warning to all her ass kissers that the kids have a birthday coming up so get with it and start shopping now! She knows exactly how to find the crib shes looking for. I call bullshit on his one. Boy, she is as sneaky and sly as they come.
OT- DWTS announced the new cast- lots of interesting choices. RHONJ's Joe and Theresa Giudice pleaded guilty to tax crimes today- hope they get time and Joe gets deported. I've never seen 2 more entitled people in my life. Well, except for Kate. These 2 bozos had kids, for Pete's sake, and both of them are going away. I can't imagine being THAT dumb. Orange is the new black, Theresa!
Terri said... 7 I also saw the tweet from the girl that saw Kate and kids at concert. She was asked if they were accompanied by a grey haired man about 5'7 or 5'8 and she replied "Yeah". Now just what in the heck does she need a bodyguard to go to a lousy concert for ************** So, TFW and the twins got stuck with concert tickets in the nosebleed section (how mediocre!), no backstage passes, and someone said she was b!tching at the twins at the souvenir stand (she was probably irked that she had to actually pay for souvenirs instead of having a gift bag waiting for her). I don't think she likes being one of the mediocre folks once again. Not one bit. She thought she left that all behind when she had the tups.
I see she's grifting for doll cradles for the little girls' birthdays. I remember her talking about her custom made kitchen table, which was made by a local company. Why not go back to them? She's just hoping that 3 handmade doll cradles show up at her door. After the blow to her ego that came with the Demi Lovato concert, she needs to get something free to make her feel special again.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 23m Thx for websites everyone! I'm trying to avoid shipping costs so am looking locally.... Thanks for local Amish furniture recommendations!
I know exactly where she could get them...beautiful cribs, and if she drove her kids to school or picked them up after school, she could stop and purchase them without having to pay shipping costs.
But I'm not telling. I'm not going to sic Kate on the maker of the doll cribs!
There's going to come a time when Kate better watch what she tweets/grifts for as far as birthday or Christmas surprises. All her kids will eventually have access to social media and could see it.
Winsomeone said... 19 I wonder if Kate can claim Steve as a business expense on her taxes?
&&&&&&&&&&&&
I don't know about that, but she can pay for his services (and I use that term loosely) out of the kids' trust.and justify it as necessary for their safety at the concert.
So, TFW and the twins got stuck with concert tickets in the nosebleed section (how mediocre!), no backstage passes, and someone said she was b!tching at the twins at the souvenir stand (she was probably irked that she had to actually pay for souvenirs instead of having a gift bag waiting for her) ***** Can you imagine bitching at your kids because they want merch, but you've taken a freaking limo to VIRGINIA and paid for a bodyguard. How insane.
If she wants a buddy to go to a concert, she should take her mom, or a girlfriend, or a church friend.
&&&&&&&&&&&
Henry, the Amish farmer? lol!
Doesn't she have all of those wonderful neighbors who take such good care of her, or are they too mediocre to go to a concert with her...but are good enough to plow her driveway?
TFW...get off your FLAT A$$ and go to the Green Dragon on Friday, or Bird in Hand (any other day of the week) and find a D#mn Amish crafter yourself. And if you seriously can't remove yourself from chair, then you can Google it. Surprisingly enough, a lot of Amish Crafters/Woodsmiths in the area have an online presence.
The woman has no initiative.
Sincerely: Blake Nicheems (Travoltified) <--- who owns SEVERAL pieces of custom made Amish furniture and I didn't have to grift it (or beg for info online).
Meagler said... 190 Kate has taken the twins to a few concerts. The six have been to one we know of at the end of the RV trip. Did they not get to see Taylor Swift?
I bet they each got tix to a concert of their choice ( Demi for Cara, and D1 for Mady) for Christmas.
Kate went to virginia because they are too special to attend in their own neighborhood...there would be Chaos! ************ She must have hired a driver to take them to the concert. From TFW's house to Fairfax is at least a 3-hour drive, and Steve's house is on the way. But there's no way TFW drove from PA to North Potomac/Gaithersburg (where Steve lives) by herself. No matter which way she went, she'd have heavy traffic to battle, either Frederick, MD to the West or the beltway around Baltimore to the East. Can you imagine her in commuter traffic? She'd lose her mind! Then after picking up Steve, there was still the DC beltway and Northern VA traffic to deal with. If the concert was at 7, with a 3+ hour drive and a stop to pick up Steve, they must have gone out to dinner beforehand. So, between concert tickets, a driver, bodyguard's fees, dinner, and souvenirs, that was one heck of an expensive night. And for what? Nosebleed-section seats at a concert? I wonder how she can keep a straight face when she claims to be so careful with money.
Emily Creighton @EmCr68 3h @Kateplusmy8 oh my word, these girls are just like me! Always wanting stuff for my babies! We'll all make well prepared loving mommies! 👶🍼
Didn't the twins have cradles for their American Girls? At 10 the little girls don't have them yet for their baby dolls? Can't believe all 3 are that interested in them - no separate identifies allowed in that house.
I rather like my Travoltafied name, which is Madeleine Dorniels.

Can you imagine being a 10-year old girl in 4th grade, going to school the day after your birthday and your friends ask, "what did you get?" and you respond, "a wooden crib for my baby doll." Geesh.
Apart from the doll diapers. I thought Alexis preferred animal toys to dolls. I doubt she would ask for a doll crib.Wasn't it a nice doll crib or highchair Kate threw down the stairs from the twins' room that time? I also recall their American Girl dolls had nice beds- no need for cribs IMO at this age
Okay the John Travolta contest is not fair. I cannot even come up with a dog's name and now you guys spring this on me? :P Side note, I think Mr. Travolta needs to concentrate on learning his one line for the award ceremony of the year and get the private hotel massages a break.
Thanks everyone for the chewy ideas. My first bully was a chewing monster, that I remember but I couldn't remember what I got him as a puppy. He always loved nylabones and had several stashed around the house until the day he died. He'd whip one out when company came over and looked just like an old man with a cigar hanging out the side of his mouth LOL. I'll hit up Petco and Target and see if they have the stuff you guys recommended. I went ahead and ordered the puppy food his breeder recommended. It's main ingredient is salmon and has no grain or soy so is supposed to help with gas attacks. The salmon is also supposed to help with bulldogs notorious sensitive skin issues and cut down on the shedding.
I do have a Boxer, T, and we'll never go without one of those either. He and my bully were babies together, the boxer is eight months older so they sorta grew up together. It will be interesting to see how it plays out this time around. Although my Boxer is now an old dude, he still acts like a three year old. Last night he was chasing one of his toys and went head first into the grandfather clock. Sadly this is a common occurrence. ;) I'll let you know how it goes but I've got a feeling the bully pup will hold his own.
So Katie is still hiring her friends? I'm sure Milo would have dropped literally everything and ran to her side for free. Why didn't you invite your Bestie Kate? She's just so damn predictable and boring.

Or Roots on Tuesday. Or a gift shop in Intercourse, or the ones on Route 30. Heck, she lived in this area. She certainly is able to find Amish doll furniture, or know where they sell it. She's not unfamiliar with the area.
Nope. Can you imagine being a 10-year old girl in 4th grade, going to school the day after your birthday and your friends ask, "what did you get?" and you respond, "a wooden crib for my baby doll." Geesh. **** Hint- when your girls start to get their monthly, it's time to put away the dolls. Sorry, I think 10 is a bit immature for dolls, but then again, Kate wants the world to not notice the fact that her kids are hitting puberty.
I think that Kate takes Steve because she doesn't have any friends to go with her and she doesn't feel comfortable going alone. She's just not an independent person. She would rather pay someone to navigate her. Steve is it.
Kelly said... 79 Okay the John Travolta contest is not fair. I cannot even come up with a dog's name and now you guys spring this on me? :P Side note, I think Mr. Travolta needs to concentrate on learning his one line for the award ceremony of the year and get the private hotel massages a break. ***** It's the Oscars, you can't just go out there cold! How embarrassing. I notices A LOT of presenters flubbing their lines. After Anne Hathaway's rather affected bit, it all went to hell in a hand basket.
Naming a puppy is more stressful than you think! DH and I were flitting from name to name, but in the end, Remy stuck. He already has many nicknames- Remoulade (which begets crab cake), Remster, and our favorite, Schmemy.
Marie said... 84 I think that Kate takes Steve because she doesn't have any friends to go with her and she doesn't feel comfortable going alone. She's just not an independent person. She would rather pay someone to navigate her. Steve is it.
Marie ******** I agree. Kate can blather on about how much she's changed and she's a can-do woman, but she can't do a damn thing on her own. Never has, never will.
How does anyone know whether Steve is being paid by Kate or not? It is entirely possible he goes with her for free because maybe that's what a good friend does now. I'm just playing devil's advocate. And secondly, I have always said that Kate is deathly afraid of being physically harmed by her 'haters' and that is why she feels she needs Steve with her. This woman is well aware of the public opinion about her and I believe is afraid to venture out on her own outside of her community. I can see no other reason other than her paranoia that people do not like her and want to harm her. If it were true that she has him there because she has no one else and doesn't like to be alone, then why wouldn't she ask Gina to join her? Maybe she did and Gina is smart enough not to attach herself to the poison we know as Kate Gosselin.
It could be that ol' Steve drove to her place, used her Toyota SUV to the concert, then drove them back and he spent the night. I bet the guy has clothes there, hee hee. And yes, she must have paid for his ticket and dinner. What a little family they made at the concert! It must be Kate's pretend time that she and Steve are a couple.
She knows where to get that doll furniture. She's grifting again. She makes me sick. If she wants a reality show, let her find a network that will feature her in "Grifting with Kate." She will now sit back and wait for those things to arrive in the mail, thanks to a fan or fans who are stupid enough to take the bait. Whatever happened to the Mrs. Miami Heat person?
A couple of thoughts: WOS employs purseboy, because she's incapable of taking her children anywhere that's there is traffic and crowds. She's just too stupid.
second thought.... she really lives in her own little world, if she was born and raised in the area and has no idea where to purchase doll furniture. Again, she shows her stupidity..
About Jon calling/texting: I think what happens is Jon texts WOS when he needs to correspond with HER....he CALLS when he wants to talk to the kids...she sees he is calling, so she hands the phone to one of the kids.
Last thought: WOS was enthralled with babies (remember the story of her carrying around the book about the sextuplet family?), so it's only natural for her to want her daughters to do the same....
It must be Kate's pretend time that she and Steve are a couple.
NOT ONCE has Kate EVER address the rumors about Steve. She has no problem in letting everyone, including her then-husband, wonder about the relationship. That was crap on her part.
Sorry, I think 10 is a bit immature for dolls, but then again, Kate wants the world to not notice the fact that her kids are hitting puberty.

Maybe not all dolls. Barbie, Ken, American Girl, are borderline. Girls that age still do play with them. But baby dolls in cribs and cradles, with diapering included? Not so much.
It looks like she actually followed through and mailed out her cookbooks to the not-a-contest winners:
Lauren Hess @LaurenHess · 12m I got a very nice surprise in the mail today! A signed copy of @Kateplusmy8 's cook book! Thank you so much Kate! pic.twitter.com/Dml7jGr2fd
Won't those Amish cradles make for a good photo spread in People? You know, to accompany an update article in which TFW talks more about living the simple life, now that her 'tups are 10 years old, and describes the simple joys that the Gosselin 8 are discovering within their local community.
Gee, I'm bummed. Y'all have such intriguing and original travoltafied names and mine is so ordinary. It's Bailey Pay-ne. How dull! I'm jellus!
Kelly -- several posters have suggested good German names for your new puppy. I'd like to suggest a couple of good English names -- Giles, Graham (Gray as a call name), Dermid or Dermott, Owen (although that's really Welsh). I was going to suggest Winston, but I see upthread that you've already had a bully named Winston. I've said a couple of times that if I got a puppy, I'd name it Swarley (yep, I'm a HIMYM fan), but that's neither German nor English. If your pup is anything like my kittens, though, he may go through several names before one sticks. Have fun with the baby.
I agree with y'all who say that TFMJG is a very dependent person. I remember being absolutely appalled watching the show and hearing her say that she didn't know how to pump gas for her car. How in the world an almost 30 (at that time) year old woman with a driver's license didn't know how to open her gas tank and press the lever of the gas pump was beyond me. I suspect, based on her very strict gender stereotypes that she was raised in a very traditional household where women were not expected nor allowed to do certain things like use tools, pump gas, etc. I'm old enough to be her mother and my father was a very traditional Southern gentleman, but he made damn sure that I knew the business end of hammar, pliers, screw driver, etc. and how to use them.
Let's say these special cribs are exactly what the girls asked for. But since they're turning 10, and will most likely not play with these items for more than a year, wouldn't a more savvy mom -- who was sincerely trying to stay on a budget -- explain that buying such a high-priced item to be used for such a short time isn't practical? And that maybe a less expensive substitute could be just as much fun?
It doesn't have to be a huge disappointment to the girls. Maybe TFW could even make an adventure out of it - find some old used cribs and go online for instructions to turn it into a DIY project. Girls can do that stuff too, you know!
Are there any fans out there who are actually smart enough to realize that in all probability Kate got those concert tickets for free? She'd never pay for anything herself if she could find someone dumb enough to give them to her.
Why Virignia, when there are concerts listed in Bethlehem tonight (one hour away) and New Jersey (two hours away)...and are much closer and far easier drives than fighting the traffic in Virginia. I'd bet money that the person who gave her the tickets had comps in Virginia and that's why she went there.
It's really dumb to put out on social media what you're getting your kids for their bday, too. Kate obviously doesn't give a crap if the kids aren't surprised. I hope the girls don't get teased for playing with dolls at their age.
PA Dutch Mom said... 60 Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 23m Thx for websites everyone! I'm trying to avoid shipping costs so am looking locally.... Thanks for local Amish furniture recommendations! &&&&&&&&&&
Here's what Kate really meant to say ;)
There are Amish furniture stores nearby? Wow how helpful- NOT.. I grew up here I know where all the Amish furniture stores are. Duh. You were supposed to volunteer to either buy them FOR me or have someone you know MAKE 3 for me. We've been playing this game a long time and you guys are usually pretty good at reading between the lines. It's two months until their birthdays, now get on it.

I recall being into crafts and Barbies at age 10. I stopped playing with baby dolls at 7-8.
I can't wait till I sit across the Allorn Thanksgiving table from you! ______ I guess nobody wants to sit at the table with someone who has an incurable flesh-eating foot fungus. Sigh. I'm all alone.

Well, I suppose we could arrange for you to sit at your own table. You know, just to be safe.
Bitchy Pants said: I'm old enough to be her mother and my father was a very traditional Southern gentleman, but he made damn sure that I knew the business end of hammar, pliers, screw driver, etc. and how to use them. ************ I remember shaking my head when she declared she didn't know how to pump gas. How can you reach adulthood and drive a car, yet not know something so basic. I think you're right - for whatever reason, WOS has clearly defined gender roles and chores/activities that are for "boys" only, with others for "girls only." She only does that because it provides her an excuse to be lazy.
My dad had 6 daughters and 2 sons. We did not divide the work along gender lines - everybody had to pitch in and "get 'er done!" When we got our driving licenses, he showed us how to check the oil level, check radiator level, put windshield washer in, and we had to change a tire as well. Helpless females were not allowed in our household lol.
She has said on many occasion that her and Steve aren't banging or a couple.
----- -----
I didn't think she ever said one way or another. The only comment I remember her making, when asked about the rumored affair, was that it was "ridiculous" or something to that effect. Did she ever directly come out and say that it wasn't true? At the time I thought...well, there's Kate playing with words again, kind of like the good bra. She never said she didn't get implants, only that she got a good bra. She might have gotten a new bra, and implants as well but she didn't deny getting them.
Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be, and with all of Kate's stories, it's hard to keep track of them.
When on the occasion when Kate has been asked if she and Steve are a couple, she always starts laughing while denying it and saying something like that's ridiculous. If she was seriously answering the question, she wouldn't treat it as joke. No Kate, it's not ridiculous in the least. Married men cheat all the time. The laughter, IMO, is her nervousness in being asked. People would not speculate if there wasn't some vibe. It may be one-sided, but she does appear to have the hots for him (and he's probably flattered). You know men.
AuntieAnn said... 50 I've been Travoltified as Annie Allorn. I can live with it, but poor Kate, she's Kobe Gonzeeles. She's a slab of meat, hahahahaha! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hallelujah dreams do come true! Auntie Ann and I are related- my Travolta name is Theodora Allorn! But hopefully my new favorite Auntie will call me Teddy! Best day ever!
TLC stinks, that's my memory too. Each time someone dared ask about Steve, she'd lean forward and laugh and say, "Oh my gosh, that's so ridiculous!" And then never really answered the question definitively.
I have been pumping gas for 35 years but I learned something a few weeks ago. Did you know that in newer cars, there is a little arrow above the gas display, to let you know which side the gas tank is on? My friend pointed it out and I had never noticed it all these years! Sure enough, I was in a rental car and there was the arrow again. Good to know if you are driving an unfamiliar car.
Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be, and with all of Kate's stories, it's hard to keep track of them. ***** Kate flatly denied having a boob job when asked directly by Joy Behar, so she can lie with the best of them. Another reason she doesn't want Robert's book released. She will be exposed for her lying, big time.
As for Steve, I believe they crossed the line. They've been seen being way too intimate for a professional, client relationship.
Hello cousin Monty! Since I'm Theodora Allorn, I hope you will join Auntie Annie Allorn for a few rumspringers at the family Reunion. This day keeps getting better and better!

Things that make you go hmmmm. It's funny how this particular tweeter won the not a contest but only has 37 tweets the first of which was on January 22nd well after the close of the contest. It will be interesting to see how many of the 28 respond and how many will be accounts like this.

If you look at her "followers", she has another twitter handle @KellyMurphy8 that is protected and she "follows" the one she tweeted from. Yes, things that make you go "hmmmmm".

TLC stinks said... 115 Anyone know what those cribs would cost?
&&&&&&
I don't know how "elaborate" she wants these things, so prices would be all over the place, depending upon the size, quality, if purchased in a really touristy area (where they really jack up the prices), or from an out-of-the-way Mom and Pop crafts store where prices would be more reasonable.
eBay has a really nice one listed for 189.99 with free shipping!

About a month before they announced the divorce, she said in People mag that she found the ACCUSATIONS that she was having an affiar with Steve disgusting, deplorable etc etc. Careful choice of words. At that time she didn't flat out deny the affair, instead she condemned the accusations of it.
Also, Robert mentioned in the book that Kate had downloaded and saved Ted and Gayle Haggard's open letters to Ted's congregation after his trysts with male massuers were exposed. RH felt that Kate possibly kept those around in case she needed to make a statement (should the need arise.) Makes sense, we all know she doesn't possess an original thought or bone in her body. Of course she would "borrow" Ted's "I have sinned" letter.

I'm gonna go get my Febreeze..... something stinks!
Kelly, I put you old dog Winton's name in the Travolta name generator with the last name of "bully", which translated to "Warren Berzy". This made me think of Bertie instead of Berzy, which I thought might be a cute name for your new pup. Bertie the bully. Maybe Bernie? Hmmm...
My official vote is Bertie....or maybe Mike (meant ironically, of course)!
Ps. I forget where I read it, but they say dogs respond better to names ending in "ie" or "y". Which is why so many of us make diminutives of their names, like calling "Gus" "gussy or Gus Gus a Rooney" etc... IRC it has something to do with changing the pitch of your voice at the end of the name using sounds with "ie/y".
Hi said... 134 I remember seeing a video on YouTube of an Amish lady leaving something she had made for Kate at her gate at the compound. March 4, 2014 at 3:15 PM ***** Kate threw it in the trash- Robert H. kept it.
$129.99. Made in her neighborhood. And I did this sitting on my couch in CA.
&&&&&&&&&&
That company sells Lapps Furniture online. She doesn't want to pay shipping. The products are sold in Ronks, which isn't really in her neighborhood. She'd have to get her rear end in gear and drive out there. It's about 45 minutes from her house.
You know darn well that she's hoping some company is going to find out that she wants "Amish doll cribs" and will offer to send them to her because after all, the Gosselin tups turn 10!

Since we're talking about "Amish," I don't know if any posters here have watched Amish Mafia, but here's a story on Discovery Channel's "reality" show, which is anything but real.
Serendipity said... 139 Oh, my gosh. My Travoltafied name is Stephanie. Just plain Stephanie. Doesn't tell me, though, if I'm 2.8 miles away from myself. ****** Very funny! Hi Phreddie!
I am' Francesca Draw!' Not bad. I feel sorry for John Travolta who apparently is very embarrassed.. I really am a semi-fan of some of his work, and he's been through a lot, including what I believe are rumors.
Is Kate truely off her rocker! Doll cribs! for young ladies almost 10? Is Kate nuts? Jon was right about the kids. Kate really does not want them to grow up, does she. It seems Kate can only handle 2 at a time, growing up, I guess the other 6 have to stay in a time warp. I played with baby dolls and had a doll crib when I was 2-5 years old, at 9, I got my period and was into Barbie, rock music and TV guy watching. I did not play with baby dolls anymore, or want a doll crib either at 10. Of course Kate can go to Toys-R-us and buy some inexpensive doll cribs, but no, they have to be Amish doll cribs, which will probably cost a lot, cause they are hand made. Patching & piecing finance: Yeah, Kate, sure you are. Perhaps Jon was right after all, Kate did/does have 11 bank accounts. She sure spends money like water. JMO
When I was pregnant for the first time, we asked my FIL to make a cradle for the baby because he loved woodworking. We used it for all our kids. When the kids got older, he built them matching ones for their dolls. They were so cute. When they got a little older, they asked him to make a bed for their American Girl doll. I dont know where he got the measurements but it was so big! I have a picture of my one year old who fell asleep in it and took a nap. We now have alll these items stored safely until the arrival of granddkids. I guess grifted ones will have the same sentimental value to the grifter.
Phreddie here one last time today. I am not sure if I can join the group. I do not have a muu-muu. I could probably find one at my favorite thrift store. Also, I do not own a pair of crocs but do own a pair of white with large bright flowers Dawgs Clogs! Will they suffice?
Geez, most of the girls around where I live, at 6 & up are into that rubber band bracelets loom thing. Every time I go to Michaels, there are at least 5-6 school age girls picking out different color rubber bands. They also look at the jewelery making supplies, & kits. In the box stores I hardly ever see any school age kids looking at baby dolls, or even Barbie. The boys maybe legos.
Well, go figure, this is after all Kate, who is still living in the past and can't let go of the past. Kate, they are going to be 10 soon, not 4.
TFW is pushing all this doll stuff first with the diapers then these Amish cribs. She also pushes the teen label with Mady and Cara with concerts, Bff stuff, the talk show fiasco,'Year of the Teen" on the defunct 'bog.' I think she wants options for both 'little' kids and teenagers for her dreams of a new reality show.
@Kateplusmy8 got home from florida vacation to find i had a book in the mail i screamed and cried! Thank you so much pic.twitter.com/y0nZfhDxkf
I was going to post something about Kate ignoring the rules of contests involving minors, and looked at this person's profile and it says she is 18. Are you kidding me? I thought it was a 12-year-old.
Over And Out, also known as Oskar Alexernder, Travoltified.
You know darn well that she's hoping some company is going to find out that she wants "Amish doll cribs" and will offer to send them to her because after all, the Gosselin tups turn 10!
__________
Here's what I think she is doing. She put the feelers out on Twitter for Amish doll cribs. Of course she could have googled this herself, or asked around. You know she has so many friends and people everywhere love her. She's hoping that a company that makes Amish doll cribs will donate three to her because after all, the kids will be 10. There will be a spread in a magazine about the tups having a milestone birthday, with photos of the donated cribs. The company will be named, which will generate orders for the cribs. Kate will convince the craftsmen that it's a win-win situation for both of them. You scratch my back; I'll scratch yours.
I also saw on her TL something called: Reality Wanted Awards? Never heard of it. Anyway they sent her an invite. A parently this award show was held at the Greystone Manor in West Hollywood, Ca, last year. I wonder if they will pay for all of Kate, you know, hotel, food, plane, bodyguard, sitter, limo, dress, makeup artist etc?
I guess grifted ones will have the same sentimental value to the grifter. 149
Doll cribs would have made sense when they were truly little, but they were filming "memories" for mommy, so why bother. All this "baby doll" stuff is about infantilizing her "China dolls." One more year Katie, and those girls may need bras. Keep it private please. That's the thing you never counted on: children grow up. Most parents rejoice watching their children grow up, even when they may be nostalgic for those earlier days. Then again, most parents don't pimp out their children in order to get camera time for themselves.
Welcome Phreddie. We are a flexible group and i'm sure your shoes are fine. Don't bother buying a muumuu if you have a bathrobe. :). I'm partial to old t shirts, myself.
Was reading the rules for child custody in PA. It spells out exactly what Jon is going through right now, and says to report things like that to the court. Even talks about parental alienation. It says the person breaking the rules will be responsible for the court costs..so Jon doesn't even need money to file his complaints. So, to me, this means that either Jon is not reporting that Kate is depriving him of his kids during custody time, or else the courts are terribly broken there. It's been 7 months since he last saw the one boy..surely the court would have addressed that by now, if it had been reported?
___________________________________________
Good work, winsomeone! I want to like Jon but.....yeah. He's not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box.
Since Dr. Jenn replied to a non-fan's question about the phone call, one of the sheeple then asked her the following:
Truth Teller @Truth_Teller201 · 48m @DrJennBerman @mscatie Did u hear @Kateplusmy8 speaking or did you just witness Jon Gosselin's supposed conversation with Kate?
And just look who is so quick to join in the conversation:
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 41m @Truth_Teller201 @DrJennBerman Really I laughed > How do U witness a ph call? Unless U #hear both sides thru conferencing U have NO IDEA!
Truth Teller @Truth_Teller201 · 34m @MiloandJack @DrJennBerman Yep, & Jon Gosselin has stated in so many interviews they only communicate via text & email!
Dr. Jenn Berman @DrJennBerman · 32m @MiloandJack @Truth_Teller201 I was a few feet away and have good ears.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 32m @DrJennBerman @Truth_Teller201 Oh really....U heard Kate speaking on the ph? Did U feel she deserved such an outburst, tirade of vulgarity?
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 22m @Truth_Teller201 @DrJennBerman She's got some EARS 4sure ...thing is...was it even Kate? Who knows...he has pulled so many stunts b4?

Truth Teller @Truth_Teller201 · 15m @chantalsl @MiloandJack @DrJennBerman Not hostility, asking questions. I believe in THE TRUTH & Berman has allowed Jon to LIE!
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 10m @Owner09708009 @DrJennBerman @Truth_Teller201 Exactly...adamantly they have both stated...only text or e-mail. Obvious WHY...anger issues.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 9m @Owner09708009 @DrJennBerman @Truth_Teller201 Kate knows his #...she would not answer IMO because of past difficulties w/verbal exchanges.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 8m @Truth_Teller201 @chantalsl @DrJennBerman The clip left the impression that Kate was being difficult..non-compliant w/custody..not fair2her!
Not fair to her? What about all the times Kate threw Jon under the bus, or gets her "sources" to make comments to ROL about him. I still wouldn't be surprised if one of the sheeple was ROL's source.
Hey, Milo--rather than ask Dr. Jenn, why don't you ask Kate herself? I'd like to see her answer that question.
he not only ruined his marriage, he ruined their TV show and their perception of the happy family they saw on TV, no matter how fake it was.
&&&
This is an old comment but I am STILL catching up on all the comments I missed!
I think this is exactly what this is about. The sheeple feel entitled to seeing this kids, and Kate as well, and when Jon interfered with that they were livid.
Quite frankly, if it were Kate who one day woke up and decided to rip the kids off reality T.V. and Jon was the one who supported the further exploitation of them, I firmly believe they would be Team Jon all the way and it would be Kate they would hate. They're going to hate whoever tries to deny them access to this family and thus they hate us as well because they believe, and they would probably be right, that all the outrage over this family has resulted in fewer opportunities for them to be public, and thus less access for the sheeple.
The bottom line is they feel they have a right to watch these kids grow up and to even be a part of that, and they do not care whether that's very harmful and dysfunctional for the children and they definitely not care if a parent is concerned about their fascination and wants to stop it. It's pretty selfish and sick.
I'm still betting there's a "Tups Turn Ten!" People cover in the works. Maybe the 6 will get to enjoy spring break week taking posed pictures in the park. At least it would get them out of the house. ******************************************************************************** I agree that TFMJG is HOPING to score another People cover with the tups and herself. However, maybe Jon and his attorney have made a preemptive strike and notified People, The View, The Today Show, etc. that he does NOT give his consent for the children to be filmed/interviewed. I also really wonder if the media even wants to go there after the debacle of the People cover, and The Today Show & The View interviews.
I think TFMJG may be working the phones, but most of her calls aren't making it past the assistant or going straight to voicemail.
he not only ruined his marriage, he ruined their TV show and their perception of the happy family they saw on TV, no matter how fake it was. _________
Wow....
So Jon should have stayed in a sexless unhappy abusive marriage? So Jon should have let the kids and dogs be abusive? So Jon should have kept on exploiting family friends church people?
So he and Kate can stay on TV wow just wow and I thought Kate had no morals. And it take 2 to ruin a marriage,
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 12m @Truth_Teller201 @DrJennBerman Any good therapist knows U have 2hear both sides of a matter. It seemed 2b more abt Kate than Liz! #Issues
So Milo--where is Kate's side? How come she hasn't spoken out and denied everything Jon has said. Why are you fighting it so much? Is it because you're afraid that Jon may have spoken the truth about your Queen, and you couldn't bear it if it were true?
Then we get this one now blaming Dr. Jenn for Jon's interviews:
Truth Teller @Truth_Teller201 · 7m @MiloandJack @DrJennBerman Exactly! Wonder if Berman encouraged Jon to sell negative stories about the kids to the tabloids when he left CT
So who sold all the negative stories about Jon to the tabloids?
Wow! Nice rant! :) I couldn't agree with you more!! I'm old enough to have lost my naivete and idealism long ago (two reasons I do not vote anymore). We, the people, are powerless. I zip my lips when I see the comments about Jon should go to court, etc. As you said he's been numerous times. You've listed several reasons why going to court isn't the end-all to Jon's problems. I firmly believe there is NO end-all to Jon's problems.
Kate will NEVER go into therapy. She believes she's right, always. Whatever unpleasant things happen to her, it's always the fault of someone else. As the kids get older and they're not on TV or in the movies, and are away from home so she can't tweet about how perfect they say she is, they, too, will become scapegoats for the "injustices" Kate suffers in this cruel world. When that happens they will understand their father better than they do now. At least some will.
The bottom line is they feel they have a right to watch these kids grow up and to even be a part of that, and they do not care whether that's very harmful and dysfunctional for the children and they definitely not care if a parent is concerned about their fascination and wants to stop it. It's pretty selfish and sick.

It really is. Moreover, so many of Kate's fans are kids themselves, or young teens who know nothing about childhood development and the need that these kids have for privacy. You can blame their fascination with them on their own immaturity.
Some of the adults are just plain old airheads who can't for the life of them see that to film the heck out of these children serves no purpose other than to exploit them for the sheeple's own entertainment. For some reason, they just can't figure this out. Many of them are parents. Either they have no protective mamma bear instincts, or they see the Gosselin kids as some kind of an enigma, a trained act set apart from "regular" kids, and therefore they aren't entitled to privacy and a normal childhood.
Aren't we missing an option or two? Yes, J & K usually text. 1) The show CT or Dr Jenn directed him to call when he said he hadn't talked to the kids. 2) Jon's lawyer has been saying that texting isn't good enough. He has to call and be specific with his requests if he wants to show that she's keeping him from the kids.
I still have the beautiful cradle I got for my dolls. It fit my biggest doll and that doll had a crocheted outfit made by my grandmother. I still have the doll and cradle. It was my big gift one Christmas. I'm not sure if I was 6 or 7. I loved it and played with it. I kept it for various sentimental reasons. I know my parents got it for me because they knew I would love it and I did.
That's what the kids are missing whether they play with dolls or not. They need someone to think about them individually and think about what each kid likes. Instead, they are a group of 6 or 3 and 3 and have no individuality.
I had a rental car while mine was being repaired. The first night I had it I noticed the arrow and the gas tank lit up. I pulled over to make sure the gas cap was on (it was). The next day I took it to the rental place because there was something wrong with it....I felt like quite the ass when the told me what the "problem" was.
As far as dog names go, Kelly, if you want to name him Winston go ahead and do it. All of our bulldogs have been Spike. That's what you get when you let a kid name them and now it's a family tradition. They have all had their own distinct nicknames that fit their personalities but they will always be Spike.
Any good therapist knows U have 2hear both sides of a matter.
&&&
Actually, it can be extremely inappropriate for a couple at such odds to share a therapist. Dr. Jenn was under no obligation to talk to, reach out to, or seek Kate's "side." A therapist's role is not to pick sides. And she did not pick sides regarding the phone conversation. She simply stated the facts as she observed them. She did nothing wrong, Milo.
I wouldn't say I'm bitter, but I'm extremely disillusioned with our courts system. It is an utter mess from sunup to sun down, and people like Jon get screwed every day and money changes hands every day but not a lot changes.
Has the court system done some wonderful works of justice, absolutely. Is this a regular occurrence, NO. And those wonderful works of justice usually were after huge fights, emotional and financially, such that when the win finally comes, you question whether it was really worth it.
A case like Erin Brokovich is one in a million. It's not the norm. And I don't have the first clue how we fix it. It's just a total adversarial, contentious, money laden MESS. I do hang in there though, because those moments when it does work and justice does prevail are very nice.
This "Fired Up" episode has really got Milo "firedup4Kate". Now she's not only blaming Jon, she's throwing accusations at Dr. Jenn.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 27m @Truth_Teller201 I just don't believe Kate was on that call...& another thing...how rude 2easedrop on a private ph conversation! #Therapist?
Milo, and how many times have you been rude butting into twitter conversations that did not include you?
to film the heck out of these children serves no purpose
&&&
It really does serve no purpose, thank you. Money, trips, and perks can all be had in other ways. They want the kids to film because they feel entitled to see it. It serves a purpose for THEM, but not for this family and these kids.
I do not know who leaked it or who the sheeple can blame for the leak, it could have been anyone, but I read the briefs from Blank Rome. They were appalling.
About Jon and the phone call, is it possible that Jon did call Kate and got a VOICEMAIL or a message (spoken by Kate and heard by Dr. Berman's good ears). Maybe after calling 50x and not receiving any response, he finally blew his gasket and let loose on the witch!

I admire you and others who keep on going considering the massive, and in my opinion, indestructible roadblocks you face day to day.
Yes, once in a while an Erin Brokovich comes along and everyone cheers and a movie is made and then we all feel things are looking up and "we" have a handle on the graft and corruption.
What other choice do we have than to fight it all?
However, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." That's the way it's been forever and will continual to be. We'll champion the fighters and especially when they lose everything to take a stand.
My solution...love those close to you...hug a baby, walk a dog, plant a garden...everyone can be bought...don't get into a situation where you have to make such a destructive decision.
Jon has taken numerous complaints about Kate to the courts, I know this for a fact. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Numerous' as in how many? See, I'm a fierce mom and I'd LIVE at the judge's courthouse and home if my son's 'dad' did anything CLOSE to what Kate has done to Jon.
If you love your children, you FIGHT for them every day. Not years and years later.
Kate obviously has not thought ahead about how much space those cradles will take up. They are pretty fair sized. We had a couple of cradles for dolls for a while and it was wonderful when the kids quit playing with them and we gave them away.
I can tell you right now the people that pester for MORE court dates often make out worse. You do NOT want to get to the point where the judge is throwing up their hands saying, they're all nuts! _______________________________________________________
This simply isn't true, all due respect. I volunteer at an inner city women's shelter and never, EVER, have any of our mommys been labelled anything other than a responsible parent when in court. And these women are TOUGH and relentless.

Here's hoping you never have to experience a mentally disturbed child who calls the police hoping they'll get the much needed help they need and that child ends up in jail and a public defender who doesn't really give a shit and is overworked and underpaid and you visit your child every week who is in jai and has been charged with something they didn't dol and you can't pay the bail to get her out because she's mentally ill and you can't trust her not to jump bail and you can't afford an attorney.
You'd what...morgtage your house and lose it if your child didn't show up for a hearing? Where would you live? How many hours can you lose from your job while you're trying to help your child and keep a roof over your head?????
Mardi Gras 2014 is coming to a close down here in New Orleans. I did not get to see any of it because I had a tumor removed from my upper leg/groin area last Tuesday. Didn't get out the hospital until 8:30 pm Sat night.
I did have my iPad with me and read most of the time. You guys really keep my hospital stay a bit more bearable with all your post. I did not get to see CT this week because the TV didn't get Vh1. But all your up dates were great.
Cannot believe TFW/WOS took the girls to a concert and as soon as I read that, I know Steve was stuffed in there somewhere. God, she makes me so sick. And now grifting for Doll Beds, when will it stop. She still has not taking the Tubs to see Lego movie and will NEVER put out her own money out for tickets. They could go to a early show before 5pm but that will never happen either.
My heart hurts for all 8, they are kept behind a gate 24/7, have only each other to hang out with. And remember, Kate has pretty much separated Alexis from her sisters. So she is mostly with the boys. All they do is go to school.
Hoping that Jon works with the court real hard to give the kids the freedom they need.
Thanks again for keeping me entertained with this blog last week during my hospital stay.
Happy Mardi Gras if any one of you happen to be from this neck of the woods.
Oh, would have loved to join in at Key West but don't think my hanging out in PJ bottoms and a sweatshirt would fit in Hope yall are have a ball, (did anyone come across a set of balls in the sand?) They might belong to Jon.. Pulling for him to come through all of this and getting those kids a new start away from their Narc Mom.

Yikes!! I thought she prided herself on being nice N postive. She's really going to town on Dr. Jenn. Must have hit a nerve, eh Milo? For someone whom you insist is so sweet, special and saintly... you do an awful lot of damage control for her.
I believe Jon and Kate when they say they only text. In PA. When it only involves pick up and drop offs.
This was different. Jon had been clear across the country for two weeks. It makes perfect sense that he would want to speak to his children on the phone. How ridiculous the gals in the barnyard look by bleating over & over again "they only text, they only text, they never talk on the phone, both of them confirmed they only text!!!!" It didn't appear like Jon was looking to speak to Kate on the phone, he wanted to talk to his kids. To do so, he had do it through Cruella's phone. Sheesh. It's not that complicated.
Greedy, you are not entitled to a public defender in family law cases, divorce cases. You know that right? You have to pay for your own lawyer, on your dime, and they all bill hundreds of dollars an hour. Unless you live in some state that funds such a thing, but I've never heard of it. Certainly not in CA or PA. I am not aware of any state that funds public defenders for divorce cases except in rare circumstances that don't come up much.
And in fact, I'd be jumping up and down if my tax dollars paid for your public defender. I do not work to pay for people to get divorced on my dime, respectfully. If you want to end your marriage, fine, but you will have to pay for it.
Liz, respectfully, I see what I see and it's just a fact that often if you pester the judge with a dozen walk ons you will lose credibility. I'm not talking about domestic violence, I'm talking about your classic custody battle, which is what this is. This is a game of chess, not checkers, and those that play chess know that it's wise to pick your battles. Being a good lawyer means knowing the game and playing the game wisely. Many lawyers who pride themselves on being over the top aggressive often lose because such a strategy simply annoys the judge.
To Please, I'm afraid that's a common sentiment shared by most people and most are not afraid to say so. We are allowed to say we don't like what we see. Free speech. But do pass it along if you feel that is what you need to do.

On a serious note, I am sorry for the stress you and your family are experiencing right now. I hope things get better very soon.
Greedy, okay so you say you're not rich and relied on a public defender for whatever it is that you are referring to. (By the way, I have no problem with you being given a public defender if the nature of your matter is something that constitutionally entitles you to representation.)
Yet, there are no public defenders available for someone like Jon, you don't get such a thing in divorce, nor should you. Knowing your only choice in a divorce is to represent yourself (usually disaster) or pay an attorney who bills 350 an hour in 10 minute increments, including for phone calls, do you think you would be able to afford to call your attorney every day and even stop by on your lunch break? Or do you think you'd have to be very careful with every minute of their time? Do you think all clients call every day, and how would an attorney actually work on your case if all clients called them every day? Do you think that only clients who dedicate themselves to calling every day care about their cases? Or do the ones who allow the attorney to work on their case, give them a little trust, and only call every few weeks or so to check in also care, in your view? I guess I don't understand how you can compare your situation with a free attorney to Jon's. Of course you called every day--you could afford to.

Tucker's mom, okay your Travoltafied name bugs me. My name IS Stephanie & my Travoltafied name is Sebastian Bruwn!
As a mom to a son & a big sister to 2 brothers, it always makes me angry how Kate treats her boys as an afterthought. It's always something special for her girls & then another box of lego's for the boys. There's just no way in hell that those boys wanted to watch the Shirley Temple life story movie. The never ending girly stuff isn't fair to them. It's not fair to always lump the kids into groups, but the boys always being the sub-group, bottom of the totem pole just irks the hell outta me.

Jon said he and Kate haven't communicated by phone for years. They text. I think Dr.Jenn witnessed what she thought was a call between Jon and Kate. She didn't say she actually heard Kate on the other end. It's strange that they would start communicating by phone while he is on CT. I know Kate is stupid, but I don't think even she is that stupid.

Kate is a lying liar who lies, Carmen.
Kate is ON CAMERA dialing up Jon and talking to him, then passing the phone to the kids to speak to him during FILMING.
Was that fake, too? Was Kate faking dialing Jon? We never heard his voice then, either. Were the kids faking talking to their dad??
To base your view on what Kate has said is like building a house on sand.
Well, well. Perhaps Uncle Steve was there after all. The guy is a parasite. I had so hoped he had moved on. That night out must have cost a pretty penny. Kate killed two birds with one stone: Steve time and buttering up the twins.
I have been Travoltified! Thanks Travis Meems! I will go back to being NJGal51 later.

As someone who has a license to practice in her career in healthcare, let me tell you something- you do NOT fuck with that.
Dr. Jen could have stayed out of it, or lied by omission, but she stuck her nose right into it.
If she's lying, she's an IDIOT to jeopardize her license to practice.
The implications and your insinuations are far more serious than I think you even understand.
If they had juicy footage of a fight with his ex-wife, what are the odds that the only portion they would show is him hanging up the phone and then cursing, after the fact, not AT her directly?
&&&
Pretty high odds, given that they would have been required by law to get a release from Kate before airing her phone call. Think Kate signed off on that? I don't.
------------------------
With Kate's penchant for suing, can you imagine how fast she would have been on the phone to her attorneys if they had shown all or part of a conversation with her?

I forgot to add that TLC would do the SYTTDress WITHOUT TCFW! And film it without her knowledge.
Jon would be able to turn the tables back on TCFW while filming at Kleinfeld's. When she found out that that they were filming, she would call Jon and Jon just not answer the phone or texts! She would be in a frenzy like she was trying to get the 1D tickets a while back.
You reap what you sow, TCFW.
I also saw the tweet from the girl that saw Kate and kids at concert. She was asked if they were accompanied by a grey haired man about 5'7 or 5'8 and she replied "Yeah". Now just what in the heck does she need a bodyguard to go to a lousy concert for. She is more delusional than I thought. Some of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood seem to be able to go out and about without one. What on earth could Kate possibly be worried about now that she has pretty much been forgotten by most people on the planet.
Dmasy, thank you so much. I am ridiculously excited. I even considered driving to Oklahoma to pick him up today. Then it dawned on me that it's 600 miles one way and that put an end to that idea.
NJGal, thank you also. Him's gorgeous and I think he knows it. I knew you'd get this ridiculous state I'm in. I've been sending all his "baby" pictures to my friends, which are like 23 from the breeder's site. Needless to say, I'm not the most popular emailer (is that a word? if not, it should be lol) at the moment ;) When we bought out last bully, he was already thirteen weeks and was like a bulldozer. For awhile he answered to Dozer. Then we named him Winston but my husband called him Snubby. All our dogs have two names LOL. No wonder it's mass confusion. Oh and I sometimes referred to Winston as chop chop as in pork chop so that made three for him. I've got a question for you since it's been ten years since I've had a bully puppy, Do you have any recommendations for chew toys or just toys in general for him? He'll be nine weeks when I get my paws on him and want to have everything in order.
Capecodmama and Susie in Cincinnati, I LOVE your ideas. I was batting around with Peter, Gunter, Dieter and Gus. But Gustav is so much better than the (Au)gus(tus) I had in mind.
I just briefly looked at the Daily Fail (Mail) and saw they're running a story about how Jon supposedly placed a fake call to TFMJG full of obscenities. I haven't had time to read all through this thread to find out the real scoop from you guys, but I'm guessing it's lies as usual. I just get the feeling that Jon will never ever get a break no matter what he does. Her stupid fans have her unfairly posed on a pedestal and when he screws up and acts up sometimes, like a normal human, it gives them free reign to begin hurling mud again. I don't know how he takes it. I'd have to smoke and drink too. ;)
Was reading the rules for child custody in PA. It spells out exactly what Jon is going through right now, and says to report things like that to the court. Even talks about parental alienation. It says the person breaking the rules will be responsible for the court costs..so Jon doesn't even need money to file his complaints. So, to me, this means that either Jon is not reporting that Kate is depriving him of his kids during custody time, or else the courts are terribly broken there. It's been 7 months since he last saw the one boy..surely the court would have addressed that by now, if it had been reported?

When Kim Novak came on with MM, I didn't catch there name announcements, I was on the computer, but had the tv on. When I looked up, I saw her and I thought it really was Ursula Andress! lol
I cannot believe KN is 81 years old! Her face was wrinkle free, no 81 yr. old has a wrinkle free face! Her face was so tight, she couldn't hardly speak. I remember over 20 years ago, TV guide did an article about her private life and it was one of the best articles I have ever read in TV guide.
It sounded like John Travolta had a cold ..maybe that's why he flubbed names? Idk, weird.I know they have a rehearsal.
I'm not commenting on the ROL story. The barnyard loves it when they can deflect from TFW's shenanigans with something Jon related. And I ain't takin' the bait.
Regarding said shenanigans...the TFW said she "stockpiled memories." Stockpiled? What a bizarre choice of word. She is neither articulate nor eloquent. And even if the tickets were grifted -- between the driver and/or Steve, whatever swag/food was purchased at the venue, and childcare for the 6 for about 10 hours, that concert must've set TFW back hundreds of dollars. I'm happy that M & C got to do something special. But let's not hear any more phony bellyaching about "piecing and patching" from their lying mother who lies. Who still buys into that nonsense?
I'm still betting there's a "Tups Turn Ten!" People cover in the works.
Maybe the 6 will get to enjoy spring break week taking posed pictures in the park. At least it would get them out of the house.
With Kate's penchant for suing, can you imagine how fast she would have been on the phone to her attorneys if they had shown all or part of a conversation with her?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which explains why they only showed the clip of Jon saying on the phone "I want to talk to my children" a handful of times. She probably saw it/heard about it and quashed it ASAP so they couldn't show any of the conversation.

Either Kate has learned helplessness courtesy of years of pampering and indulging by TLC, or she's got a serious phobia.
Kate has NEVER been out and about in the world alone. She went from BF to BF at a young age, and never experienced being fully independent.
Despite Kate's crowing about how much she's grown and does everything on her own, she is a very dependent person.
Also, the concert was close to where Steve lives, so he might have met them there.
If Kate paid for Steve to come up to PA, then go back down to VA, I just have to laugh.
If Steve had a conscience, he would sit Kate down and tell her that she doesn't need him anymore. It's over, and she is wasting the children's money paying for him. Even Shirley Temple's bodyguard one day had to pack his bags and leave, she wasn't famous anymore and he wasn't needed.
If she wants a buddy to go to a concert, she should take her mom, or a girlfriend, or a church friend. Does she really have no one at all? Maybe all her friends have to WORK Monday morning and can't be frolicking off the Virginia on a school night.

Hi Kelly- we just added a puppy to our family and I too just can't stop looking at his adorable face.
He's a good soul, too- confident, outgoing, friendly and devilish, too.
Remy's favorite chew toys are Nylabones. These are terrific!

Make sure you don't get the edible chewy "bones", just the teething.
Also, places like Home Goods and Tuesday Morning are fantastic for getting all sorts of gear and toys for cheap.
Perhaps the scenario was Jon called one if the twins, she answered, was having a conversation with dad, Kate overheard and was so pissed grabbed the phone and laid into Jon. I did not watch CT so I am unaware of the circumstances as to why he would even call Kate directly except to irritate her deliberately. I do believe there was a call, though, probably as part of something CT wanted to include.
Who knows what Steve has said to her about expenses and $$$; he is not her life coach, and if she wants to pay him to escort her and the children on an occasional basis that is her business. Of course it's ridiculous, but IMO it has more to do with her phobic personality than about wanting to be seen as a stah. When the TLC show started she was a very provincial young woman who had hardly traveled outside her environs. She did not even feel comfortable driving the van on the highway. With all the crazy crap that goes on in her brain, this inability to deal with the public is just part of it, even the simple idea of driving to a concert, parking and walking into the venue with her teens is beyond her. Add in the sprinkle of remembered fame, and she cannot move out of that zone. Trust me, I think the need for 'protection' is crazy and a waste of money but I really think she has major phobias.
I don't find a therapist who participates in trashy reality TV to be ethical int he first place, so I don't think it would be beyond her to lie. YMMV.

Well ya know you don't have to watch it if you don't find it to be ethical .
Alot of TV show have therapist not just CS.
-Hoarding buried alive.
-Drphil. Dr Dre All crime shows on HNL.
-Most TLC shows have had therapist on them.
So uncle Steve was there?-(Not a surprise). Why can't Kate spend time with her girls w/o Steve?
I bet her was there during the today/view interviews. I wonder did Steve help the twins while mamma was going off on them backstage.
Or did he stand still like he did with the pizza argument?
Kelly, congrats on your new addition. I believe you said you also have a boxer? If so, please let me know how he does with the puppy. I'm considering adding on to our family as well, and though my baby LOVES LOVES LOVES every kind of dog or cat he's encountered, he has no idea that he is 70lbs and not the 15lbs lap dog that he thinks he is.
As far as chewing aids, my vet recommended dehydrated sweet potatoes, and we love them! They are so much better and safer for him vs raw hides or bones (no wheat, corn, or soy!), and serve as treats too. They also come in a variety of sizes for chew (mouth size). You can buy commercially made ones (just be sure you know source as some cheaper imported ones from China have been known to be contaminated), or you can make your own cheaply and easily at home.
We love these:http://www.amazon.com/Veggie-Rawhide-Potato-Treats-1-Pound/dp/B000AOOR3C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393946473&sr=8-1&keywords=sweet+potatoe+dog+chew

See I think everyone who is accepting money owes a duty to their clients to speak up if their services are really not needed.
If you come in to get new tires put on, the mechanic looks at your old tires and sees that you still have 20,000 miles left on them, shouldn't he say something about that? Sir, sure you don't want to go with your old tires a little longer, they've got a fair amount of mileage left.
A doctor doesn't bill someone to put stitches in when it's just a splinter.
A lawyer is ethically barred from pushing through divorce paperwork if their client is indicating they are trying to reconcile.
Amazon suggests free shipping to you first before you go ahead and pay for the faster shipping at a price.
So too do I believe a bodyguard is obligated to suggest their pricey services may not be necessary when they are not necessary. However, it is possible Steve did tell her that and she wants him anyway, so who knows.
Regarding the phone call to Jon from Australia- not sure if I'm recalling this correctly, but didn't she hold the phone for some of the kids instead of and letting them hold it on their own?
I also thought it very odd (and telling) that on the Say Yes to the Dress, episode that she did not bring along a friend or family member. Especially considering both the occasion and the format of the show, (part of the premise of the show is taking everyone's opinion of the dress into account). Plus, I can't imagine picking out such an important dress without my loved ones/friends input.
Are there any you tube wizards out their that can help?
Terri- I'm so glad that you saw the tweets about Steve too. I was beginning to think I was recalling it incorrectly.
Lastly, I don't think Jon is a good enough actor to have faked that reaction about trying to communicate with his children.

Good Am! Does any1 know of local (Lancaster, Pa area) Amish furniture makers who make well made wooden cribs for dolls??! #bdayrequest #thx
Is she looking for freebies again? Why can't she use google or the yellow pages? Maybe she's hoping that one of her tweeties will send them for the tups birthday.
And I still don't know any 10 year old that would want a doll crib for their birthday.

Kate- a stone's throw from Amish Country- wants someone to tell her where to get this.
Such a grifter.
Who called it? Someone here did.
Be on notice, sheep, the tups are turning 10 and you'd better get your gifts in the mail now!
Such a grifter.
Kelly- congrats on the pup! My vet recommended carrots, rice cakes, and for toys, a Kong with peanut butter in it.Have fun!
Poor Kate. Wait until she finds out just how much a well made wooden crib, by an Amish craftsman no less, will set her back. And for a 10th birthday too? Here's a thought - google this idea yourself, and then, with all the hours you have in the average day, takes some drives in the countryside and wait, commission these doll cribs. Oh, right, putting your child's birthday request out on Twitter is so much better. This will give the tweeny fans two months to organize, purchase and ship you some grifted gifts. Tool.

I'm still betting there's a "Tups Turn Ten!" People cover in the works.
Maybe the 6 will get to enjoy spring break week taking posed pictures in the park. At least it would get them out of the house.
&&&&&&&&
There's probably even a Tups Turn Ten Media Tour in the works as soon as the school year ends! The View producer is probably chomping at the bit for that one.
A Demi Lovato concert, how predictable.
Come to where the action is, college basketball games! Check this article out. Http://news.vcu.edu/article/The_other_side_of_havoc
Check our the video on the page sidebar too.
The Travoltafied name for Call Me Crazy is Cruz Meems!
Kelly - Our bully also answers to (at least) 3 different names. The funniest being "Stinkerbell" because, well, he farts. He's not as farty as some of the others have been but he has his moments.
We give him deer antlers to satisfy his chewing needs. They don't splinter and really stand up to heavy chewing. Harts also makes a dogwood "stick" in their pet stages line. He loves it. It kind of smells like a stick which I uses they like. It seems to crumble as he chews. I found it at Target. As I said, it's part of their pet stages line and comes in all different sizes. It's also available at Amazon. It can be messy though as it seems to crumble - which is a good thing because I know he's not swallowing chunks of it.
I don't know whether the concert tickets were grifted or not, but either way, she didn't pay for them or Steve out of her pocket. I suspect both items were paid out the kids trust, (certainly they both fall under her version of safety and welfare).
Gosh, it's like she's intentionally egging us on with these tweets! We call the Transparent First Wife a miserable grifter, and, right on cue, she delivers.
Do the boys get a birthday request? Maybe a day off from chicken duty?
The Only Blessing that could come out of the Tups Turn Ten photo cover is that Jon will get to see an updated photo of the boy tup that he hasn't seen in several months.
She is a toxic tool through and through.
I wonder if Steve and TCFW sat in the back of the divider limo and M and C had to sit in front with the driver.
Kind of funny Kate was outed by a tweeter about the concert. She had to come out and admit she was there. The seats were not that great, ha, ha.
I agree that hauling Steve around has nothing to do with security and more about her inability to be independent, yet her twitter image is the exact opposite. She will never admit she still needs Steve to drive her to places not in her comfort zone or guide her through airports. And you can bet your last dollar Steve did not meet them there but was the chauffeur.
He does not have an ounce of integrity. As long as she writes out checks, he will be at her beck and call. He knows she has issues.
In regards to her grifting tweet on Amish doll cribs, she just cannot control herself. You're telling me that those girls will appreciate such a thing? That they specifically asked for handcrafted Amish cribs? And Kate will get three, because you know the tup girls have exactly identical tastes. I have always wondered if Kate was disappointed the tups were not identical because she sure refuses to let them blossom as individuals.

So after people tweeted Kate different websites about the doll cribs, she then tweets:

Again, I ask, why couldn't she do her own research to find exactly what she was looking for? Did she expect only locals to answer her question? Why tweet it at all?
For someone who people praise for "doing it all", she sure acts helpless at times.

I'm sure shes putting the word out to every T.V. producer, radio station, and magazine editor that exists to shout from the rooftop that her kids are turning 10. Its the most important event in the history of the world!! I have no doubt there will be some takers. Here we go again..."we miss filming"...."we miss the crew" (any crew) "We miss the trips"...OMG...can't wait till its over. Its stupid and ridiculous at this point. But she'll be happy to get her mug on tv again and get all the special treatment that goes along with it. This whole begging for a show thing is really getting comical. She will do her best to take total advantage of this important occasion. Will she ever give up? WHAT A JERK....I hope theres no takers but.....there will be. YUK!!
A woman living in a mansion grifting Amish doll cribs for 10-year olds...SMH.....how pitiful.
It's so ironic that the self-proclaimed Queen of Kooponing needs help when she wants to save money!

Exactly. She could have invoked confidentiality or professional reasons for not responding. If Kate goes on the record herself, she could be dude for libel (or defamation? Can never remember which one is written). If it didn't happen, why didn't she set the record straight? If it was a lie, she would.
If someone else says it, she isn't responsible for it.
Why wouldn't Kate pick up a phone and call someone to ask about Amish furniture? Henry?
It just goes to show how isolated she is- no one left in her life except her make up gal.
Didn't she just pay a bodyguard for the day.(waste of money) but now she's worried about a "shipping charge"??? Is this a joke or something? This is an early warning to all her ass kissers that the kids have a birthday coming up so get with it and start shopping now! She knows exactly how to find the crib shes looking for. I call bullshit on his one. Boy, she is as sneaky and sly as they come.
OT- DWTS announced the new cast- lots of interesting choices.
RHONJ's Joe and Theresa Giudice pleaded guilty to tax crimes today- hope they get time and Joe gets deported. I've never seen 2 more entitled people in my life. Well, except for Kate.
These 2 bozos had kids, for Pete's sake, and both of them are going away. I can't imagine being THAT dumb.

So, TFW and the twins got stuck with concert tickets in the nosebleed section (how mediocre!), no backstage passes, and someone said she was b!tching at the twins at the souvenir stand (she was probably irked that she had to actually pay for souvenirs instead of having a gift bag waiting for her). I don't think she likes being one of the mediocre folks once again. Not one bit. She thought she left that all behind when she had the tups.
I see she's grifting for doll cradles for the little girls' birthdays. I remember her talking about her custom made kitchen table, which was made by a local company. Why not go back to them? She's just hoping that 3 handmade doll cradles show up at her door. After the blow to her ego that came with the Demi Lovato concert, she needs to get something free to make her feel special again.

It could have been a Town Car, or a limo with seats along the side. That way, they all could have sat together. Bonding, you know.
Very few people use limos anymore. Town Cars are the way to go.
So no Radar article about the big Lovato showgoers?
I wonder how much Kate is paying Steve?
His normal rate of $1,600 or does she get a discount and if so how much, Did she pay for his concert ticket as well?
Travoltafied, I am Phoebe Doon, which I rather like!
There's going to come a time when Kate better watch what she tweets/grifts for as far as birthday or Christmas surprises. All her kids will eventually have access to social media and could see it.
She is such an idiot.

I don't know about that, but she can pay for his services (and I use that term loosely) out of the kids' trust.and justify it as necessary for their safety at the concert.

Can you imagine bitching at your kids because they want merch, but you've taken a freaking limo to VIRGINIA and paid for a bodyguard.
How insane.
If she wants a buddy to go to a concert, she should take her mom, or a girlfriend, or a church friend.
&&&&&&&&&&&
Henry, the Amish farmer? lol!
Doesn't she have all of those wonderful neighbors who take such good care of her, or are they too mediocre to go to a concert with her...but are good enough to plow her driveway?
TFW...get off your FLAT A$$ and go to the Green Dragon on Friday, or Bird in Hand (any other day of the week) and find a D#mn Amish crafter yourself. And if you seriously can't remove yourself from chair, then you can Google it. Surprisingly enough, a lot of Amish Crafters/Woodsmiths in the area have an online presence.
The woman has no initiative.

Kate has taken the twins to a few concerts. The six have been to one we know of at the end of the RV trip. Did they not get to see Taylor Swift?
I bet they each got tix to a concert of their choice ( Demi for Cara, and D1 for Mady) for Christmas.
Kate went to virginia because they are too special to attend in their own neighborhood...there would be Chaos!
************
She must have hired a driver to take them to the concert. From TFW's house to Fairfax is at least a 3-hour drive, and Steve's house is on the way. But there's no way TFW drove from PA to North Potomac/Gaithersburg (where Steve lives) by herself. No matter which way she went, she'd have heavy traffic to battle, either Frederick, MD to the West or the beltway around Baltimore to the East. Can you imagine her in commuter traffic? She'd lose her mind! Then after picking up Steve, there was still the DC beltway and Northern VA traffic to deal with.
If the concert was at 7, with a 3+ hour drive and a stop to pick up Steve, they must have gone out to dinner beforehand. So, between concert tickets, a driver, bodyguard's fees, dinner, and souvenirs, that was one heck of an expensive night. And for what? Nosebleed-section seats at a concert? I wonder how she can keep a straight face when she claims to be so careful with money.

Didn't the twins have cradles for their American Girls? At 10 the little girls don't have them yet for their baby dolls? Can't believe all 3 are that interested in them - no separate identifies allowed in that house.

Nope. Can you imagine being a 10-year old girl in 4th grade, going to school the day after your birthday and your friends ask, "what did you get?" and you respond, "a wooden crib for my baby doll." Geesh.
Apart from the doll diapers. I thought Alexis preferred animal toys to dolls. I doubt she would ask for a doll crib.Wasn't it a nice doll crib or highchair Kate threw down the stairs from the twins' room that time? I also recall their American Girl dolls had nice beds- no need for cribs IMO at this age
Okay the John Travolta contest is not fair. I cannot even come up with a dog's name and now you guys spring this on me? :P Side note, I think Mr. Travolta needs to concentrate on learning his one line for the award ceremony of the year and get the private hotel massages a break.
Thanks everyone for the chewy ideas. My first bully was a chewing monster, that I remember but I couldn't remember what I got him as a puppy. He always loved nylabones and had several stashed around the house until the day he died. He'd whip one out when company came over and looked just like an old man with a cigar hanging out the side of his mouth LOL. I'll hit up Petco and Target and see if they have the stuff you guys recommended. I went ahead and ordered the puppy food his breeder recommended. It's main ingredient is salmon and has no grain or soy so is supposed to help with gas attacks. The salmon is also supposed to help with bulldogs notorious sensitive skin issues and cut down on the shedding.
I do have a Boxer, T, and we'll never go without one of those either. He and my bully were babies together, the boxer is eight months older so they sorta grew up together. It will be interesting to see how it plays out this time around. Although my Boxer is now an old dude, he still acts like a three year old. Last night he was chasing one of his toys and went head first into the grandfather clock. Sadly this is a common occurrence. ;) I'll let you know how it goes but I've got a feeling the bully pup will hold his own.
So Katie is still hiring her friends? I'm sure Milo would have dropped literally everything and ran to her side for free. Why didn't you invite your Bestie Kate? She's just so damn predictable and boring.

I think that Kate takes Steve because she doesn't have any friends to go with her and she doesn't feel comfortable going alone. She's just not an independent person. She would rather pay someone to navigate her. Steve is it.

How does anyone know whether Steve is being paid by Kate or not? It is entirely possible he goes with her for free because maybe that's what a good friend does now. I'm just playing devil's advocate. And secondly, I have always said that Kate is deathly afraid of being physically harmed by her 'haters' and that is why she feels she needs Steve with her. This woman is well aware of the public opinion about her and I believe is afraid to venture out on her own outside of her community. I can see no other reason other than her paranoia that people do not like her and want to harm her. If it were true that she has him there because she has no one else and doesn't like to be alone, then why wouldn't she ask Gina to join her? Maybe she did and Gina is smart enough not to attach herself to the poison we know as Kate Gosselin.

It could be that ol' Steve drove to her place, used her Toyota SUV to the concert, then drove them back and he spent the night. I bet the guy has clothes there, hee hee. And yes, she must have paid for his ticket and dinner. What a little family they made at the concert! It must be Kate's pretend time that she and Steve are a couple.
She knows where to get that doll furniture. She's grifting again. She makes me sick. If she wants a reality show, let her find a network that will feature her in "Grifting with Kate." She will now sit back and wait for those things to arrive in the mail, thanks to a fan or fans who are stupid enough to take the bait.
Whatever happened to the Mrs. Miami Heat person?
A couple of thoughts:
WOS employs purseboy, because she's incapable of taking her children anywhere that's there is traffic and crowds.
She's just too stupid.
second thought....
she really lives in her own little world, if she was born and raised in the area and has no idea where to purchase doll furniture.
Again, she shows her stupidity..
About Jon calling/texting:
I think what happens is Jon texts WOS when he needs to correspond with HER....he CALLS when he wants to talk to the kids...she sees he is calling, so she hands the phone to one of the kids.
Last thought:
WOS was enthralled with babies (remember the story of her carrying around the book about the sextuplet family?), so it's only natural for her to want her daughters to do the same....
It is entirely possible he goes with her for free because

I guess nobody wants to sit at the table with someone who has an incurable flesh-eating foot fungus. Sigh. I'm all alone.
I'm calling it now:
Won't those Amish cradles make for a good photo spread in People? You know, to accompany an update article in which TFW talks more about living the simple life, now that her 'tups are 10 years old, and describes the simple joys that the Gosselin 8 are discovering within their local community.
Gee, I'm bummed. Y'all have such intriguing and original travoltafied names and mine is so ordinary. It's Bailey Pay-ne. How dull! I'm jellus!
Kelly -- several posters have suggested good German names for your new puppy. I'd like to suggest a couple of good English names -- Giles, Graham (Gray as a call name), Dermid or Dermott, Owen (although that's really Welsh). I was going to suggest Winston, but I see upthread that you've already had a bully named Winston. I've said a couple of times that if I got a puppy, I'd name it Swarley (yep, I'm a HIMYM fan), but that's neither German nor English. If your pup is anything like my kittens, though, he may go through several names before one sticks. Have fun with the baby.
I agree with y'all who say that TFMJG is a very dependent person. I remember being absolutely appalled watching the show and hearing her say that she didn't know how to pump gas for her car. How in the world an almost 30 (at that time) year old woman with a driver's license didn't know how to open her gas tank and press the lever of the gas pump was beyond me. I suspect, based on her very strict gender stereotypes that she was raised in a very traditional household where women were not expected nor allowed to do certain things like use tools, pump gas, etc. I'm old enough to be her mother and my father was a very traditional Southern gentleman, but he made damn sure that I knew the business end of hammar, pliers, screw driver, etc. and how to use them.
Let's say these special cribs are exactly what the girls asked for. But since they're turning 10, and will most likely not play with these items for more than a year, wouldn't a more savvy mom -- who was sincerely trying to stay on a budget -- explain that buying such a high-priced item to be used for such a short time isn't practical? And that maybe a less expensive substitute could be just as much fun?
It doesn't have to be a huge disappointment to the girls. Maybe TFW could even make an adventure out of it - find some old used cribs and go online for instructions to turn it into a DIY project. Girls can do that stuff too, you know!
Are there any fans out there who are actually smart enough to realize that in all probability Kate got those concert tickets for free? She'd never pay for anything herself if she could find someone dumb enough to give them to her.
Why Virignia, when there are concerts listed in Bethlehem tonight (one hour away) and New Jersey (two hours away)...and are much closer and far easier drives than fighting the traffic in Virginia. I'd bet money that the person who gave her the tickets had comps in Virginia and that's why she went there.
It's really dumb to put out on social media what you're getting your kids for their bday, too.
Kate obviously doesn't give a crap if the kids aren't surprised.
I hope the girls don't get teased for playing with dolls at their age.

I remember shaking my head when she declared she didn't know how to pump gas. How can you reach adulthood and drive a car, yet not know something so basic. I think you're right - for whatever reason, WOS has clearly defined gender roles and chores/activities that are for "boys" only, with others for "girls only." She only does that because it provides her an excuse to be lazy.
My dad had 6 daughters and 2 sons. We did not divide the work along gender lines - everybody had to pitch in and "get 'er done!" When we got our driving licenses, he showed us how to check the oil level, check radiator level, put windshield washer in, and we had to change a tire as well. Helpless females were not allowed in our household lol.
She has said on many occasion that her and Steve aren't banging or a couple.
-----
-----
I didn't think she ever said one way or another. The only comment I remember her making, when asked about the rumored affair, was that it was "ridiculous" or something to that effect. Did she ever directly come out and say that it wasn't true? At the time I thought...well, there's Kate playing with words again, kind of like the good bra. She never said she didn't get implants, only that she got a good bra. She might have gotten a new bra, and implants as well but she didn't deny getting them.
Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be, and with all of Kate's stories, it's hard to keep track of them.
When on the occasion when Kate has been asked if she and Steve are a couple, she always starts laughing while denying it and saying something like that's ridiculous. If she was seriously answering the question, she wouldn't treat it as joke. No Kate, it's not ridiculous in the least. Married men cheat all the time. The laughter, IMO, is her nervousness in being asked. People would not speculate if there wasn't some vibe. It may be one-sided, but she does appear to have the hots for him (and he's probably flattered). You know men.
Anyone know what those cribs would cost?

I've been Travoltified as Annie Allorn. I can live with it, but poor Kate, she's Kobe Gonzeeles. She's a slab of meat, hahahahaha!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hallelujah dreams do come true! Auntie Ann and I are related- my Travolta name is Theodora Allorn! But hopefully my new favorite Auntie will call me Teddy! Best day ever!
TLC stinks, that's my memory too. Each time someone dared ask about Steve, she'd lean forward and laugh and say, "Oh my gosh, that's so ridiculous!" And then never really answered the question definitively.
I have been pumping gas for 35 years but I learned something a few weeks ago. Did you know that in newer cars, there is a little arrow above the gas display, to let you know which side the gas tank is on? My friend pointed it out and I had never noticed it all these years! Sure enough, I was in a rental car and there was the arrow again. Good to know if you are driving an unfamiliar car.
Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be, and with all of Kate's stories, it's hard to keep track of them.

Kate flatly denied having a boob job when asked directly by Joy Behar, so she can lie with the best of them.
Another reason she doesn't want Robert's book released.
She will be exposed for her lying, big time.
As for Steve, I believe they crossed the line. They've been seen being way too intimate for a professional, client relationship.

I know KK lies and tells so many stories it's hard to keep up with her.
The last time she address her and Steve was on what happens live with Andy. He asked her if she and Steve we getting it on
she said "Oh no he's married".-and she rolled her eyes while answering the question.

Hello cousin Monty! Since I'm Theodora Allorn, I hope you will join Auntie Annie Allorn for a few rumspringers at the family Reunion. This day keeps getting better and better!
She has said on many occasion that her and Steve aren't banging or a couple.
I don't believe so....She's been asked this question on many occasions, but was always "coy" with her answer.

I don't know how "elaborate" she wants these things, so prices would be all over the place, depending upon the size, quality, if purchased in a really touristy area (where they really jack up the prices), or from an out-of-the-way Mom and Pop crafts store where prices would be more reasonable.
eBay has a really nice one listed for 189.99 with free shipping!

&&&&&&&&&&&&
About a month before they announced the divorce, she said in People mag that she found the ACCUSATIONS that she was having an affiar with Steve disgusting, deplorable etc etc. Careful choice of words. At that time she didn't flat out deny the affair, instead she condemned the accusations of it.
Also, Robert mentioned in the book that Kate had downloaded and saved Ted and Gayle Haggard's open letters to Ted's congregation after his trysts with male massuers were exposed. RH felt that Kate possibly kept those around in case she needed to make a statement (should the need arise.) Makes sense, we all know she doesn't possess an original thought or bone in her body. Of course she would "borrow" Ted's "I have sinned" letter.

I'm gonna go get my Febreeze..... something stinks!
Kelly, I put you old dog Winton's name in the Travolta name generator with the last name of "bully", which translated to "Warren Berzy". This made me think of Bertie instead of Berzy, which I thought might be a cute name for your new pup. Bertie the bully. Maybe Bernie? Hmmm...
My official vote is Bertie....or maybe Mike (meant ironically, of course)!
Ps. I forget where I read it, but they say dogs respond better to names ending in "ie" or "y". Which is why so many of us make diminutives of their names, like calling "Gus" "gussy or Gus Gus a Rooney" etc... IRC it has something to do with changing the pitch of your voice at the end of the name using sounds with "ie/y".
LOL, PJ's momma! I did not know about the gas arrow until my husband pointed it out a few years ago. Duh!

That company sells Lapps Furniture online. She doesn't want to pay shipping. The products are sold in Ronks, which isn't really in her neighborhood. She'd have to get her rear end in gear and drive out there. It's about 45 minutes from her house.

I am' Francesca Draw!' Not bad. I feel sorry for John Travolta who apparently is very embarrassed.. I really am a semi-fan of some of his work, and he's been through a lot, including what I believe are rumors.
Is Kate truely off her rocker! Doll cribs! for young ladies almost 10? Is Kate nuts? Jon was right about the kids. Kate really does not want them to grow up, does she. It seems Kate can only handle 2 at a time, growing up, I guess the other 6 have to stay in a time warp. I played with baby dolls and had a doll crib when I was 2-5 years old, at 9, I got my period and was into Barbie, rock music and TV guy watching. I did not play with baby dolls anymore, or want a doll crib either at 10. Of course Kate can go to Toys-R-us and buy some inexpensive doll cribs, but no, they have to be Amish doll cribs, which will probably cost a lot, cause they are hand made. Patching & piecing finance: Yeah, Kate, sure you are. Perhaps Jon was right after all, Kate did/does have 11 bank accounts. She sure spends money like water. JMO

lol, you outed yourself, Stephanie!
Hello Phreddie, I like your names!
When I was pregnant for the first time, we asked my FIL to make a cradle for the baby because he loved woodworking. We used it for all our kids.
When the kids got older, he built them matching ones for their dolls. They were so cute.
When they got a little older, they asked him to make a bed for their American Girl doll. I dont know where he got the measurements but it was so big! I have a picture of my one year old who fell asleep in it and took a nap.
We now have alll these items stored safely until the arrival of granddkids.
I guess grifted ones will have the same sentimental value to the grifter.
Phreddie here one last time today. I am not sure if I can join the group. I do not have a muu-muu. I could probably find one at my favorite thrift store. Also, I do not own a pair of crocs but do own a pair of white with large bright flowers Dawgs Clogs! Will they suffice?
My Travoltified name Annie Allorn Travoltified is Aodhan Andrenson and that name Travoltified is Ashton Allorn.
Does that make me my own grandmother?
I think I'd better go do something constructive now. ha!
Geez, most of the girls around where I live, at 6 & up are into that rubber band bracelets loom thing. Every time I go to Michaels, there are at least 5-6 school age girls picking out different color rubber bands. They also look at the jewelery making supplies, & kits. In the box stores I hardly ever see any school age kids looking at baby dolls, or even Barbie. The boys maybe legos.
Well, go figure, this is after all Kate, who is still living in the past and can't let go of the past. Kate, they are going to be 10 soon, not 4.
TFW is pushing all this doll stuff first with the diapers then these Amish cribs. She also pushes the teen label with Mady and Cara with concerts, Bff stuff, the talk show fiasco,'Year of the Teen" on the defunct 'bog.' I think she wants options for both 'little' kids and teenagers for her dreams of a new reality show.

I was going to post something about Kate ignoring the rules of contests involving minors, and looked at this person's profile and it says she is 18. Are you kidding me? I thought it was a 12-year-old.

Here's what I think she is doing. She put the feelers out on Twitter for Amish doll cribs. Of course she could have googled this herself, or asked around. You know she has so many friends and people everywhere love her. She's hoping that a company that makes Amish doll cribs will donate three to her because after all, the kids will be 10. There will be a spread in a magazine about the tups having a milestone birthday, with photos of the donated cribs. The company will be named, which will generate orders for the cribs. Kate will convince the craftsmen that it's a win-win situation for both of them. You scratch my back; I'll scratch yours.

Funny, no baby dolls or cribs on that list.
There is also a 'boys' list, but no worries, they will be fine with the boxes the doll cribs come in.
I also saw on her TL something called: Reality Wanted Awards? Never heard of it. Anyway they sent her an invite. A parently this award show was held at the Greystone Manor in West Hollywood, Ca, last year. I wonder if they will pay for all of Kate, you know, hotel, food, plane, bodyguard, sitter, limo, dress, makeup artist etc?
I guess grifted ones will have the same sentimental value to the grifter. 149
Doll cribs would have made sense when they were truly little, but they were filming "memories" for mommy, so why bother. All this "baby doll" stuff is about infantilizing her "China dolls."
One more year Katie, and those girls may need bras. Keep it private please.
That's the thing you never counted on: children grow up. Most parents rejoice watching their children grow up, even when they may be nostalgic for those earlier days.
Then again, most parents don't pimp out their children in order to get camera time for themselves.

Was reading the rules for child custody in PA. It spells out exactly what Jon is going through right now, and says to report things like that to the court. Even talks about parental alienation. It says the person breaking the rules will be responsible for the court costs..so Jon doesn't even need money to file his complaints. So, to me, this means that either Jon is not reporting that Kate is depriving him of his kids during custody time, or else the courts are terribly broken there. It's been 7 months since he last saw the one boy..surely the court would have addressed that by now, if it had been reported?

Not fair to her? What about all the times Kate threw Jon under the bus, or gets her "sources" to make comments to ROL about him. I still wouldn't be surprised if one of the sheeple was ROL's source.
Hey, Milo--rather than ask Dr. Jenn, why don't you ask Kate herself? I'd like to see her answer that question.
he not only ruined his marriage, he ruined their TV show and their perception of the happy family they saw on TV, no matter how fake it was.
&&&
This is an old comment but I am STILL catching up on all the comments I missed!
I think this is exactly what this is about. The sheeple feel entitled to seeing this kids, and Kate as well, and when Jon interfered with that they were livid.
Quite frankly, if it were Kate who one day woke up and decided to rip the kids off reality T.V. and Jon was the one who supported the further exploitation of them, I firmly believe they would be Team Jon all the way and it would be Kate they would hate. They're going to hate whoever tries to deny them access to this family and thus they hate us as well because they believe, and they would probably be right, that all the outrage over this family has resulted in fewer opportunities for them to be public, and thus less access for the sheeple.
The bottom line is they feel they have a right to watch these kids grow up and to even be a part of that, and they do not care whether that's very harmful and dysfunctional for the children and they definitely not care if a parent is concerned about their fascination and wants to stop it. It's pretty selfish and sick.

I'm still betting there's a "Tups Turn Ten!" People cover in the works.
Maybe the 6 will get to enjoy spring break week taking posed pictures in the park. At least it would get them out of the house.
********************************************************************************
I agree that TFMJG is HOPING to score another People cover with the tups and herself. However, maybe Jon and his attorney have made a preemptive strike and notified People, The View, The Today Show, etc. that he does NOT give his consent for the children to be filmed/interviewed. I also really wonder if the media even wants to go there after the debacle of the People cover, and The Today Show & The View interviews.
I think TFMJG may be working the phones, but most of her calls aren't making it past the assistant or going straight to voicemail.
he not only ruined his marriage, he ruined their TV show and their perception of the happy family they saw on TV, no matter how fake it was.

Wow....
So Jon should have stayed in a sexless unhappy abusive marriage?
So Jon should have let the kids and dogs be abusive?
So Jon should have kept on exploiting family friends church people?
So he and Kate can stay on TV wow just wow and I thought Kate had no morals. And it take 2 to ruin a marriage,

So Milo--where is Kate's side? How come she hasn't spoken out and denied everything Jon has said. Why are you fighting it so much? Is it because you're afraid that Jon may have spoken the truth about your Queen, and you couldn't bear it if it were true?
Then we get this one now blaming Dr. Jenn for Jon's interviews:

Wow! Nice rant! :) I couldn't agree with you more!! I'm old enough to have lost my naivete and idealism long ago (two reasons I do not vote anymore). We, the people, are powerless. I zip my lips when I see the comments about Jon should go to court, etc. As you said he's been numerous times. You've listed several reasons why going to court isn't the end-all to Jon's problems. I firmly believe there is NO end-all to Jon's problems.
Kate will NEVER go into therapy. She believes she's right, always. Whatever unpleasant things happen to her, it's always the fault of someone else. As the kids get older and they're not on TV or in the movies, and are away from home so she can't tweet about how perfect they say she is, they, too, will become scapegoats for the "injustices" Kate suffers in this cruel world. When that happens they will understand their father better than they do now. At least some will.
It just sucks, hugely!

---------
It really is. Moreover, so many of Kate's fans are kids themselves, or young teens who know nothing about childhood development and the need that these kids have for privacy. You can blame their fascination with them on their own immaturity.
Some of the adults are just plain old airheads who can't for the life of them see that to film the heck out of these children serves no purpose other than to exploit them for the sheeple's own entertainment. For some reason, they just can't figure this out. Many of them are parents. Either they have no protective mamma bear instincts, or they see the Gosselin kids as some kind of an enigma, a trained act set apart from "regular" kids, and therefore they aren't entitled to privacy and a normal childhood.

Gosh, it's like she's intentionally egging us on with these tweets
Of course she is....it's the only attention she receives anymore.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here's an idea! We should stop giving it to her. Especially on twitter. Ugh.
Aren't we missing an option or two? Yes, J & K usually text. 1) The show CT or Dr Jenn directed him to call when he said he hadn't talked to the kids. 2) Jon's lawyer has been saying that texting isn't good enough. He has to call and be specific with his requests if he wants to show that she's keeping him from the kids.
I still have the beautiful cradle I got for my dolls. It fit my biggest doll and that doll had a crocheted outfit made by my grandmother. I still have the doll and cradle. It was my big gift one Christmas. I'm not sure if I was 6 or 7. I loved it and played with it. I kept it for various sentimental reasons. I know my parents got it for me because they knew I would love it and I did.
That's what the kids are missing whether they play with dolls or not. They need someone to think about them individually and think about what each kid likes. Instead, they are a group of 6 or 3 and 3 and have no individuality.
I had a rental car while mine was being repaired. The first night I had it I noticed the arrow and the gas tank lit up. I pulled over to make sure the gas cap was on (it was). The next day I took it to the rental place because there was something wrong with it....I felt like quite the ass when the told me what the "problem" was.
As far as dog names go, Kelly, if you want to name him Winston go ahead and do it. All of our bulldogs have been Spike. That's what you get when you let a kid name them and now it's a family tradition. They have all had their own distinct nicknames that fit their personalities but they will always be Spike.
Any good therapist knows U have 2hear both sides of a matter.
&&&
Actually, it can be extremely inappropriate for a couple at such odds to share a therapist. Dr. Jenn was under no obligation to talk to, reach out to, or seek Kate's "side." A therapist's role is not to pick sides. And she did not pick sides regarding the phone conversation. She simply stated the facts as she observed them. She did nothing wrong, Milo.
Tweet, agree.
I wouldn't say I'm bitter, but I'm extremely disillusioned with our courts system. It is an utter mess from sunup to sun down, and people like Jon get screwed every day and money changes hands every day but not a lot changes.
Has the court system done some wonderful works of justice, absolutely. Is this a regular occurrence, NO. And those wonderful works of justice usually were after huge fights, emotional and financially, such that when the win finally comes, you question whether it was really worth it.
A case like Erin Brokovich is one in a million. It's not the norm. And I don't have the first clue how we fix it. It's just a total adversarial, contentious, money laden MESS. I do hang in there though, because those moments when it does work and justice does prevail are very nice.
This "Fired Up" episode has really got Milo "firedup4Kate". Now she's not only blaming Jon, she's throwing accusations at Dr. Jenn.

to film the heck out of these children serves no purpose
&&&
It really does serve no purpose, thank you. Money, trips, and perks can all be had in other ways. They want the kids to film because they feel entitled to see it. It serves a purpose for THEM, but not for this family and these kids.
No, it did not come from Jon, Melanie.
I do not know who leaked it or who the sheeple can blame for the leak, it could have been anyone, but I read the briefs from Blank Rome. They were appalling.
About Jon and the phone call, is it possible that Jon did call Kate and got a VOICEMAIL or a message (spoken by Kate and heard by Dr. Berman's good ears). Maybe after calling 50x and not receiving any response, he finally blew his gasket and let loose on the witch!

I wouldn't say I'm bitter, but I'm extremely disillusioned with our courts system. It is an utter mess from sunup to sun down, and people like Jon get screwed every day and money changes hands every day but not a lot changes.

I admire you and others who keep on going considering the massive, and in my opinion, indestructible roadblocks you face day to day.
Yes, once in a while an Erin Brokovich comes along and everyone cheers and a movie is made and then we all feel things are looking up and "we" have a handle on the graft and corruption.
What other choice do we have than to fight it all?
However, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." That's the way it's been forever and will continual to be. We'll champion the fighters and especially when they lose everything to take a stand.
My solution...love those close to you...hug a baby, walk a dog, plant a garden...everyone can be bought...don't get into a situation where you have to make such a destructive decision.
Jon has taken numerous complaints about Kate to the courts, I know this for a fact.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Numerous' as in how many? See, I'm a fierce mom and I'd LIVE at the judge's courthouse and home if my son's 'dad' did anything CLOSE to what Kate has done to Jon.
If you love your children, you FIGHT for them every day. Not years and years later.
Kate obviously has not thought ahead about how much space those cradles will take up. They are pretty fair sized. We had a couple of cradles for dolls for a while and it was wonderful when the kids quit playing with them and we gave them away.
I have a public defender. It's my right. Not rich.
I can tell you right now the people that pester for MORE court dates often make out worse. You do NOT want to get to the point where the judge is throwing up their hands saying, they're all nuts!

This simply isn't true, all due respect. I volunteer at an inner city women's shelter and never, EVER, have any of our mommys been labelled anything other than a responsible parent when in court. And these women are TOUGH and relentless.

Here's hoping you never have to experience a mentally disturbed child who calls the police hoping they'll get the much needed help they need and that child ends up in jail and a public defender who doesn't really give a shit and is overworked and underpaid and you visit your child every week who is in jai and has been charged with something they didn't dol and you can't pay the bail to get her out because she's mentally ill and you can't trust her not to jump bail and you can't afford an attorney.
You'd what...morgtage your house and lose it if your child didn't show up for a hearing? Where would you live? How many hours can you lose from your job while you're trying to help your child and keep a roof over your head?????
Mardi Gras 2014 is coming to a close down here in New Orleans.
I did not get to see any of it because I had a tumor removed from my upper leg/groin area last Tuesday. Didn't get out the hospital until 8:30 pm Sat night.
I did have my iPad with me and read most of the time. You guys really keep my hospital stay a bit more bearable with all your post.
I did not get to see CT this week because the TV didn't get Vh1. But all your up dates were great.
Cannot believe TFW/WOS took the girls to a concert and as soon as I read that, I know Steve was stuffed in there somewhere. God, she makes me so sick. And now grifting for Doll Beds, when will it stop.
She still has not taking the Tubs to see Lego movie and will NEVER put out her own money out for tickets. They could go to a early show before 5pm but that will never happen either.
My heart hurts for all 8, they are kept behind a gate 24/7, have only each other to hang out with. And remember, Kate has pretty much separated Alexis from her sisters. So she is mostly with the boys. All they do is go to school.
Hoping that Jon works with the court real hard to give the kids the freedom they need.
Thanks again for keeping me entertained with this blog last week during my hospital stay.
Happy Mardi Gras if any one of you happen to be from this neck of the woods.
Oh, would have loved to join in at Key West but don't think my hanging out in PJ bottoms and a sweatshirt would fit in Hope yall are have a ball, (did anyone come across a set of balls in the sand?) They might belong to Jon.. Pulling for him to come through all of this and getting those kids a new start away from their Narc Mom.

@Owner09708009 @DrJennBerman @Truth_Teller201 Exactly...adamantly they have both stated...only text or e-mail. Obvious WHY...anger issues.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Yikes!! I thought she prided herself on being nice N postive. She's really going to town on Dr. Jenn. Must have hit a nerve, eh Milo? For someone whom you insist is so sweet, special and saintly... you do an awful lot of damage control for her.
I believe Jon and Kate when they say they only text. In PA. When it only involves pick up and drop offs.
This was different. Jon had been clear across the country for two weeks. It makes perfect sense that he would want to speak to his children on the phone. How ridiculous the gals in the barnyard look by bleating over & over again "they only text, they only text, they never talk on the phone, both of them confirmed they only text!!!!" It didn't appear like Jon was looking to speak to Kate on the phone, he wanted to talk to his kids. To do so, he had do it through Cruella's phone. Sheesh. It's not that complicated.
Greedy, you are not entitled to a public defender in family law cases, divorce cases. You know that right? You have to pay for your own lawyer, on your dime, and they all bill hundreds of dollars an hour. Unless you live in some state that funds such a thing, but I've never heard of it. Certainly not in CA or PA. I am not aware of any state that funds public defenders for divorce cases except in rare circumstances that don't come up much.
And in fact, I'd be jumping up and down if my tax dollars paid for your public defender. I do not work to pay for people to get divorced on my dime, respectfully. If you want to end your marriage, fine, but you will have to pay for it.
Liz, respectfully, I see what I see and it's just a fact that often if you pester the judge with a dozen walk ons you will lose credibility. I'm not talking about domestic violence, I'm talking about your classic custody battle, which is what this is. This is a game of chess, not checkers, and those that play chess know that it's wise to pick your battles. Being a good lawyer means knowing the game and playing the game wisely. Many lawyers who pride themselves on being over the top aggressive often lose because such a strategy simply annoys the judge.
Who said I was divorced? No divorce here. And yes, I had representation. Sorry for your tax dollars.
And yes, I called every day until our matter was settled. On my coffee breaks and sometimes during lunch I would pay him a visit.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Worked extremely well in my case.
I'd have to see what and how many times Jon went to court over the abuse of his children before giving a fair opinion.
What did you have a public defender for if I may ask? Strategy in divorce cases is different than many other cases. Apples and oranges.
To Please, I'm afraid that's a common sentiment shared by most people and most are not afraid to say so. We are allowed to say we don't like what we see. Free speech. But do pass it along if you feel that is what you need to do.

Jasmine Jarrdeen here...Damn! I was hoping my name was Allorn so I could join the fun group!
My family & I are going through a very stressful time right now & coming here & reading the humorous posts makes my day. Thank you!
______________________
jolie Jacquelyn ... oops ... I mean Jasmine Jardeen (both of which sound lovely) - I think it would be fitting if the genuine Allorns would bestow an honorary Allornship upon everyone here!
On a serious note, I am sorry for the stress you and your family are experiencing right now. I hope things get better very soon.
Greedy, okay so you say you're not rich and relied on a public defender for whatever it is that you are referring to. (By the way, I have no problem with you being given a public defender if the nature of your matter is something that constitutionally entitles you to representation.)
Yet, there are no public defenders available for someone like Jon, you don't get such a thing in divorce, nor should you. Knowing your only choice in a divorce is to represent yourself (usually disaster) or pay an attorney who bills 350 an hour in 10 minute increments, including for phone calls, do you think you would be able to afford to call your attorney every day and even stop by on your lunch break? Or do you think you'd have to be very careful with every minute of their time? Do you think all clients call every day, and how would an attorney actually work on your case if all clients called them every day? Do you think that only clients who dedicate themselves to calling every day care about their cases? Or do the ones who allow the attorney to work on their case, give them a little trust, and only call every few weeks or so to check in also care, in your view? I guess I don't understand how you can compare your situation with a free attorney to Jon's. Of course you called every day--you could afford to.

My daughter had a great pubic defebder, he called me back when I had questions. He resigned. Got a better offer. We were screwed. Reality.
grandee4 - I am glad you are out of the hospital. I hope you heal quickly!
Tucker's mom, okay your Travoltafied name bugs me. My name IS Stephanie & my Travoltafied name is Sebastian Bruwn!
As a mom to a son & a big sister to 2 brothers, it always makes me angry how Kate treats her boys as an afterthought. It's always something special for her girls & then another box of lego's for the boys. There's just no way in hell that those boys wanted to watch the Shirley Temple life story movie. The never ending girly stuff isn't fair to them. It's not fair to always lump the kids into groups, but the boys always being the sub-group, bottom of the totem pole just irks the hell outta me.
