I remember when Krazy said she would NEVER have a nanny. ***********************************************************************8 Yeah, no kidding. She thinks because she calls the NANNY the PART TIME HELPER, it's what she says it is.
I'm imagining how stressful (ADDED stress to their already stressful existence) any telephone conversation or even any "visit" (eye roll) with their dad is. Always wondering what little thing could set their mother off as far as what she thinks is a betrayal. They have no safe haven, their father I'm sure tells them he is, but they will never be fully honest with him because their abuser controls them. Just like all these adult victims who come forward after years of abuse, they have the same story, they COULDN'T tell anyone. Those kids...ugh
I was looking at some of the tweets surrounding the guy who tweeted about TFW yelling at girls about raffle tickets. I can't find his tweet but maybe that's because I can only look from my phone from work. Otherwise, he deleted it but not some replies. One of the girls who originally tweeted him about it saying "YAASSS" also replied to someone else who appears to be on the team and was bummed she wasn't going to the tourney since TFW was there. She replied "she's mean anyway"
If these are teammates of C, and it appears they are all part of Lancaster Elite Lacrosse Club, how awkward must it be for C? To have the mom everyone hates? My dd played rec soccer for years ( couldn't afford those club teams since I'm mediocre) and I can't imagine any of the moms yelling at any of the girls for anything, much less trying to sell you ( a millionaire) a raffle ticket TO SUPPORT THE TEAM.
Cats enjoy their stuffies, too. A friend of mine had a stud male who used to breed a stuffed bunny regularly. He'd drag it around with him, hump it multiple times daily, and sleep with it. It would get so gross that it had to be washed every few weeks. My friend didn't object, though, because he still did his duty by the queens. After a couple of years, she neutered him and placed him in a forever home. Stuffed bunny included. My foundation queen had a stuffed pink panther toy that she loved. She never tried to hump it, but she would mother it. The couple of times she had a litter of kittens, she would put pink panther in with them when she left the nest. When she went to her forever home, pink panther went too. She crossed the Bridge a few years ago, but her forever mother still has pink panther in a place of honor.
Where are y'all finding these new articles/posts from Robert? When I went to his site, all I saw were links to a couple of articles from several days ago.
You know what I think is gross? People who keep the family's tooth brushes all in a common cup. I think Kate's kitchen ones are laid out ton one towel, also gross. I agree each person can rinse his/her own. There are also those little plastic hoods for brushes kept in a bathroom as many germs float through the air from toilet flushing. Ugh. What disgusting beasts we all are!
Sorry if someone has posted this already but I just had to share this article about a lovely family who adopted an entire family of siblings and do it all on one income. Piecing' and patchin' ???? These people are the bomb!!!!! Suck it TFW!!!!!!!!!
I still don't understand why those kids have to brush their teeth in the damn kitchen. With all the bathrooms in that house why can't they use one to brush teeth. It just strikes me as VERY odd.
yet she reamed out a volunteer for washing their hands in the kitchen instead of the bathroom?? Soap is effing soap you dink! I agree with the posts about her being "more" than you're run of the mill narc. Maybe she WAS specially chosen by God.

I'm still reeling over the fact that the sheeple immediately swooped in to tell the tweeting teens not to engage in hearsay and to not be bullies. What they really meant was please don't bring forward anymore reports of her bad behavior. The horrible info coming out about Kate is so fast and furious, they don't have enough fingers to stick in dams or hoses to put all the fires out.
However.... if someone hypothetically tweeted that they heard Jon yelled at some kids trying to sell a raffle ticket at a game, the sheeple would swoop in and encourage the tweeter to tell more, please engage in more hearsay and don't leave anything out. If it was Jon behaving like an ass, bullying him would be most encouraged. Then they would all cluck, crow and bleat about it.
Sam said... 20 If you want someone to keep the kids alive and run the house then combine them into one. If you want someone who will actually be there for your children, be attentive, and make sure they are getting what they need, make a DIFFERENCE for them, please have the respect to not combine such things. ********************************* Millions of people manage to run their own households AND be attentive parents without assistance from either a nanny or a housekeeper. I don't understand why nannies can't do both, as long as they are compensated accordingly.

I agree Sam, but you're usually dealing with a "regular size" house, not a sprawling mansion on 26 acres of property. That's like saying the Queen should be able to manage because millions of other people do it. LOL
It was only a matter of time, I guess, that all our OT meanderings and wanderings on this blog would eventually get around to hilarious dog humping stories!! You guys are cracking me up at the images you are painting in my head, and NJGal, your profile pic is epic.
Dwindle - So sorry your DD lost her little Beagle girl. Thanks for sharing the story about her and Tiberius.
I swear she just makes this stuff up to make life miserable for as many people as possible. All these stupid rules, but they don't apply to her.
====
That's exactly what it is. She takes some sick pleasure in bullying everyone. Besides, how would she know if the nanny set the grocery bags or her purse on the counter if Herr Kate wasn't home? Does she have hidden cameras in the kitchen?
And the part about having meltdowns about her knives and improper use is laughable. She has no knife skills whatsoever.
The nanny manual proves how stingy Kate is when it comes to the kids. She obviously does not hire trained nannies from an agency. An agency would never allow their nannies to take on such chores and frankly, an experienced nanny would have every right to be insulted by such demands, particularly something as stinky as cleaning out a chicken coop. Kate goes for the young girls or foreigners, the ones that won't question.
So the Gator? Looks like a generous gift, right? Strictly for Kate to force the kids and/or nanny to do chores more quickly.
Well lookie here. She's put more than 3 raspberries on the plate!
TFW is still farting rainbows and lollypops while bots are running rampant on her TL re: Radar's new article by another psychologist talking about the dangers of reality tv on the emotional development of children. Notice her #

Today's 'second breakfast' is .... Homemade egg custard with fresh red raspberries! #Brunch #Yum #HappyKids pic.twitter.com/ViNp5tEYML
OMG!! I am a mother of 3 girls and a grandmother of one 8 year old and I would love to see more!!!! Me and my girls have watched the show from the beginning. Forget all the negativity and bring back this family to us!! Haters will always be haters and Lovers will always be lovers!! We love the show!!!!! I especially love Kate and love how she does what she needs to for her kids!!! http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/06/26/kate-plus-eight-tlc-special-june-26-watch-kate-gosselin/ ============== Oh my! I was reading comments on this site. I didn't think to much of this comment until the !!!! jumped out of me. I looked at other comments on this site and other sites to make sure it was rare to write like this. HELLO KATE!!!! I can't say for sure because I have no proof but it made me think a BIG hummmmmm! How funny, yet predictable is this comment.
Admin, if it was wrong of me to copy and paste this from another site, go ahead and not let it go through. My feelings wont be hurt. Thanks.
In a section titles "Pet Peeves," Kate outlined even more tough-to-obey rules. "Please do not place purses, grocery bags...on the kitchen counters," she demanded. "All of those things may be placed on the floor! I absolutely freak out!"
WTF - She lets the damn bird walk all over the counter and even has a perch for him there. ------- This reminds me of my sister. She is a strict vegetarian, and does not allow her husband to have any meat products in the house, upon penalty of severeness. She also will not shop at any grocery chains, and buys her food from a local co-op and farmer's markets. She only where's loathes made in the USA, from unionized shops. Blah, blah, blah--we all know someone like this. Anyway, although her husband can't have meat in the house, her dogs feast on marrow bones. Pigs ears and bully sticks. She has no problem with restricting her husband and, at the same time, indulging her dogs.
My daughter was shopping at one of the forbidden chain stores and ran into my brother-in-law there, loading up his cart with meet. My sister was out of town, and he asked them not to they'll them that they saw him there, or what he bought. That's what happens when someone so interferes in someone else's right to live his own life on his terms--it produces guilt and shame, lying and keeping secrets.
I understand why Kate is a born-again animal lover. She has discovered the joy of exercising absolute control over every aspect of another being's existence, and gets undying devotion in return. Exactly what she expects from everyone in her life, who, of course, always fall short. How could they not?
Someone must have their abacus upside down cause ratings certainly weren't impressive for the 1st and they went down considerably for the 2nd. LOL I know, I know - consider the source.
@CandyDishes @RealZiggyFlo @Kateplusmy8 @TLC Good post! I think RoHo's plan backfired-it boosted ratings. You know he watched, lusting & fantasizing.
Speaking of nannies who are also asked to do some light housekeeping, etc. - there is a story out of Upland, CA about a couple that hired a 64-year old woman to be nanny for their 3 children, as well as apprently do some housekeeping, perhaps grocery shopping and meal prep as well. Don't have all the details but one of the compensations was that she had a room in the home - she was a live in. Shortly after this arrangement began, the woman stopped doing work around the home, indicating she was physically unable to do so, due to a medical condition (which clearly she did not disclose prior to employment). The couple said, we're sorry, but we really need someone who can also do housework, etc., so would you please sign this letter that terminates our agreement. She refused, saying they could not make her do so, and remained living in the house. Because of the special circumstances, the police cannot physically remove her. The couple must go through a legal process that could take months.
Apparently, she voluntarily did leave the home recently, but all her stuff is still there, and people have seen her driving by.
Formerly duped: I think it's gross & disgusting to even brush teeth in the kitchen, I don't care if you have a separate sink for it. That house has 4 bathrooms, what's wrong with them? Kate does not trust her kids in any form or manner, she is a control freak. Wait, the kids are getting older. LOL I hope they give you all the hell you deserve. That will be true karma.
Mrs Malaprop said... Why does she feel it necessary to include "I will freak out!" in her instruction manual? It's not enough to say "Please don't place purses and grocery bags on the counter."? I'm just the type of person who would totally screw with those instructions just because you've threatened me about freaking out. Sort of like Minny's Chocolate Pie. Bwahahaha ------------- It has been proven that phrasing things in the negative can produce the opposite effect, because the brain will not reliably remember the "don't" part. As a matter of fact, it may actually program others to do the unwanted behavior. Therefore, especially with children, but also with adults, it is better to say what you want instead of what you don't want. For example, it would be more effective to say that the counters should be kept clear of anything that is not directly related to food prep, including grocery bags and purses. Of course, that is not as much fun as ordering people around and would take way too much time, she is too busy for politeness, respect and common courtesy.
I wonder what exactly she hollered at those girls selling lacrosse tickets. I think it is horrible to really, really embarrass C like this. Then someone says she was bummed that she was not going to the game because she was there and is mean.
This is so unfair to kids that want to go to the game but don't even want to see her or even hear her. I have ran into people like that at my kids games and you avoid them like the plague. One idiot man behind me and my mother was threatening a woman for something and my mother turned around and told her to go get a policeman and have him arrested for harassment.
Maybe the school could do something about it. How about banning her from the games. At practice, only drop off and pick ups.
What is kate trying to do? Embarrass C so bad that she will want to quit so kate will not have to go to anymore practices or games?
Kate, you need to do the right thing. You have milked these kids social, home and no friends lives for years. Give them just a couple of years of their childhood while they still have it! You just need to go ahead and sign your parental rights over to Jon now. You don't have a maternal bone in your toxic body. You have physically abused, mentally abused, embarrassed your kids enough! Enough is Enough!
Thank you for being a contestant on the Mother of the Gosselin Children's Game Show. Keep the house as a parting gift. The cases of Rice-A-Roni, (the San Francisco treat!) is on the way!
How do you clean a toothbrush? Shouldn't each person just rinse their own brush thoroughly after each use then throw it out after a few months? I wouldn't want to clean someone else's toothbrush, yuck! ******* I think dentists recommend that you replace your toothbrush every 6 months or so. That's what we do - rinse after every use and replace right around our next cleaning appointment, since those are usually spaced every six months.
I confess that I use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth, after watching an episode of Myth Busters and learning how much splash back there can be from a toilet. I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink? (Before guests come over, all tooth-brushing implements are tucked away in the bathroom cabinet)
TLC stinks said... 39 The nanny manual proves how stingy Kate is when it comes to the kids. She obviously does not hire trained nannies from an agency.

You're right, TLC. Robert mentioned this in the first book, Kate avoids professional nannies from agencies for just those reasons you described. She wants to combine a nanny/house caretaker/maid for one salary, no agency would allow that.
Besides, how would she know if the nanny set the grocery bags or her purse on the counter if Herr Kate wasn't home? ======== You train your kids to tattle. Inspector Gadget anyone?
Please don't all jump on me but as a Jersey Shore girl (4 blocks from the beach) we didn't wash our suits daily. Sure we rinsed them and put them on the clothesline to dry but didn't "wash" them. Beach towels? Hang them up when you get home and you're good to go.
I paused on some of the chore lists, which TLC lovingly caressed with the camera, during Part II. Her lists for the kids are very detailed and absolutely ridiculous. To clean the stainless steel each day (???), use four squirts of Windex and one paper towel. On the chicken checklist, she actually has yes and no columns. Filled the water dish? Yes or no. Filled the feed dish? Yes or no. Was the water frozen? Yes or no. And on and on. I mean, really? What happens if you use five squirts of Windex, or only three? And she says the chickens are solely so the boys can have manly chores. Why should they have to care for 50 little creatures just so they have manly chores? She reminds me so much of my mother. She never lifted a finger at home, except for cooking. I mean, she did nothing. She went grocery shopping and she made dinner each night and that was it. But she worked 40 hours a week too.
Millicent -- I read an article about that couple and the "I shall not be moved" nanny yesterday. There's a little bit more to the story. Apparently, the couple advertised on Craig's list for a nanny (!!) and hired this woman, who was homeless and had been for 9 years! She'd lived in a shelter for a while and when the shelter banned her she lived in her car. Really makes me think the couple in question were trying to cheap out child care and didn't bother to do much, if any, screening.
The reports of TFMJG yelling at the girls selling raffle tickets to support Cara's lacrosse team just back up Mady's comment that the kids' friends are afraid of her.
If someone with the credentials and experience of Dr. Sue Cornbluth was talking about me and my parenting choices I don't think I'd be on twitter hashtagging #happykids and trying to distract my fans with pics of custard for a second breakfast. -------- I would have disappeared off the face of the earth if my home state had to pass LEGISLATION to protect my kids from ME.
gee, talk about having no filter. LOL
another thought: Until Robert's book is picked up by the mainstream media, the general mediocre public isn't going to hear about how horrible she really is.
I think it would be hilarious to see someone put KK's words in Michelle Duggar's mouth, and vice versa. (as much as I dislike kids on reality tv (I don't watch the Duggars), but I've seen enough clips of Michelle on commercials, etc, to know what a kind, loving heart she has for her husband and her children (and God, too, btw)... Wouldn't it be funny to see Michelle scream HHEELLLOOO...
Please don't all jump on me but as a Jersey Shore girl (4 blocks from the beach) we didn't wash our suits daily. Sure we rinsed them and put them on the clothesline to dry but didn't "wash" them. Beach towels? Hang them up when you get home and you're good to go.
++++++++++++
Don't jump on me, either! We have a house on the beach and we never wash our suits after each wearing. We rinse them in the outside shower and hang them up; ditto with the beach towels. Shake them out, rinse them and hang them out to dry. I can't imagine all of the laundry I would have if I washed everything after each wearing, especially if we go to the beach several times a day.
Besides, how would she know if the nanny set the grocery bags or her purse on the counter if Herr Kate wasn't home? Does she have hidden cameras in the kitchen? ********* Wouldn't put it past her Auntie Anne. Oh I would love to know if that nanny (or any of the others) took some sweet revenge on her. Spit in her coffee, box of wine, had the dog drink from her cup, used her toothbrush to clean the toilet, floors...etc etc... you know? Harmless yet VERY satisfying shit!
Maybe the school could do something about it. How about banning her from the games. At practice, only drop off and pick ups.
Ban her for what? Yelling at the games? The school is not going to ban a parent from the games. You just can't go around banning Kate because she's not liked by some, and you can't forbid her to attend her children's games or keep her out of school events.
Sam, most people live in reasonable sized houses and don't have a celebrity sized schedule. In that case it may be appropriate to ask the nanny to do a little cleaning up.
The house I nannied in is almost 7,000 square feet. The schedule and needs the family had were demanding. The phone rang five times an hour. There simply would not be enough hours in the day to maintain the house, the schedule and watch the children. Half the time I was out with the children at games, play dates etc. It would be completely inappropriate and impossible to ask a nanny to also play housekeeper and assistant. No one could do that. In that situation they either had to downsize or, as they chose rightly and appropriately, hire a housekeeper and assistant aside from the nanny. It's unreasonable to dump all that on the nanny and my agency stood by that and even my narcissist accepted that.
We have individual paper cups in the bathroom and put a shot of original Listerine in them and after brushing and rinsing the toothbrush we store it bristle side down in the Listerine. After the next brushing you can rinse with the Listerine or dump it (I dump because I like TheraBreath mouthwash) throw out the cup and replace with fresh cup and Listerine.
Lukebandit - they can't ban TFW from going to the games because she's a bitch. I really can't understand why she doesn't put on her sweetness and light mask when at games. If she did, when negative stories came out about her the other parents would say "that's not the Kate we know". Instead they say, "Yup, that's the Kate we know".
@Kateplusmy8 7m Today's 'second breakfast' is .... Homemade egg custard with fresh red raspberries! #Brunch #Yum #HappyKids pic.twitter.com/ViNp5tEYML
*************************************************
Bitch please! Do you really think a tiny serving of egg custard (which I bet you had nothing to do with making) and some berries sells you as a good mom?
Because there's nothing like a serving of custard and a few berries to heal the wounds of getting beaten and terrorized by your own mother on a regular basis, huh kids?
Love how it's their "second breakfast", addressing the commentary of how little she feeds those kids no doubt. Next it'll be tweets showing what they had for "elevensies". (LoTR reference)
The fact is that even at deflection Kate is a big fail. She even tries to prove her kids happiness by touting what a great mom SHE is. MY kids are happy because I'M a GREAT MOM. See, huh, see...
Nice try Kate. Anybody falling for that is either being paid to or is so far up your ass they can't see at all.
I think 2nd breakfast emphasizes that she doesn't feed them enough at the FIRST breakfast. A little snack may be needed aftera good breakfast, but not a whole other meal before lunch. By her own stupidity she makes it double the work. Make enough the first time.
Agree Bitchy. A couple trying to be cheap by not going through an agency or even a reputable publication. I have no sympathy for this. Proper screening would have prevented the situation in the first place and given a nice girl a good job for fair compensation. You get what you pay for. If you want to hire dirt cheap nannies expect dirt cheap results. If you care about your children and their safety pony up and go through reputable channels.
Vanessa: about a week or two before the first special: one of the rags had a article about, celebrity nannys and hire help, and they included Kate, and the article said about Kate that she has cameras all over the house to spy on nannys, hired help and the kids. She listened into what the nannys said and what the kids say, and she listened in her bedroom.
Agree she would be blacklisted from most agencies for this treatment. They wouldn't want the liability. Something happens to the kids while the nanny is upstairs cleaning and their insurance will go through the roof. They will absolutely blacklist you and they'll do it to celebrities. Narcissist was on at least two black lists due to long hours and poor treatment and out of control kids who were biters. (They did MUCH better with agencies once the kids were older and a couple good nannies got them in line) After they get a couple failed placements they blacklist you, you're done. These agencies are there just as much to protect the nannies as they are the clients.
Kate's "money saving" laundry tips were as gross as her filthy feet on the ottoman! Clothes not washed until visibly soiled. Never uses hot water. Holy e coli, Batman. Bed sheets get washed every few weeks.
You have to check out twitter...the funniest exchange is going on between Milo and that Ziggy freak....they almost sound like their going to have a nervous breakdown. They're claiming that Robert wants and lusts after Kate...and that's the reasoning behind the book...his dream of Kate is not being fulfilled....too funny.,,They finally came up with a justification that makes sense to THEM....Oh Lord
Why do i think she grifted some high end name brand super deluxe knives? All great chefs own a set , am I right? She has a gourmet kitchen i would die for, but you know what? I'd go toe to flintstone toe with her any time anywhere in a cooking competiton, even using my mediocre 25 yr old kitchen
"I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink?" (52)
Although I do brush my teeth in my bathroom, I must admit that , like Millicent, I really don't see the problem with using the kitchen sink for that.
Unless one puts directly in the dishwasher every single utensil used during a meal, and that none of those utensils never ever comes in contact with or near the sink, I would guess that the possible contamination from "mouth germs" from a toothbrush is about the same than "mouth germs" from a spoon or a fork that was used for eating.
I'm also with NJ Gal, here, re washing your bathing suit every day: I , too, was raised on the shore and to us, the salt water and iodine from the sea was considered a good enough combination to keep our bathing suit relatively germs free for a few days without washing.
And the part about having meltdowns about her knives and improper use is laughable. She has no knife skills whatsoever.
******** Kate's knife skills are very mediocre. Hey, look, that's fine! But don't tell me your some whiz in the kitchen. I've seen Kate with a knife and she isn't impressive.
Home cooks who invest heavily in their knives don't worry about anyone misusing them, because they are not allowed to use them- too sharp. I don't know what kind of knives Kate's huge white set are, but I don't think they're forged by a 5th generation knifemaker in Japan ;-)
It's a new week. The rabid sheeple have decided to attack Robert, bordering on libel with some of their tweets today, imo. Since they can't refute the FACTS in the book, they've decided to attack the messenger, even 'analyzing' a photo. LMAO
@RealZiggyFlo @CandyDishes @Kateplusmy8 @TLC Remember how he claimed Shoka loved him? Holding dog against it's terrified will. pic.twitter.com/bKlM9DYAXr
I know.... the source. UGH -- check out her ludicrous notations. Terrified, huh? 1. The back slant is the natural slant for german shepherds. 2. Ears laying down? They're up. LOL 3. Shoka is LICKING Robert. LOL 4. When you pet and massage a dog/it's neck you move it's collar around. 5. The down position of the tail is natural to a german shepherd. 6. Feet spread apart means nothing. If anything it means he's comfy and loving the attention. My dogs all balanced themselves like that when they were really into the massage they were getting.
Her lists for the kids are very detailed and absolutely ridiculous. To clean the stainless steel each day (???), use four squirts of Windex and one paper towel.

My God.
That reminds me of the bathroom scene in Mommie Dearest.
MommieD: We're going to clean this floor together. You and me together. Scrub Christine.
Christina: This floor is already clean.
MommieD: This floor is NOT CLEAN!! THIS FLOOR IS NOT CLEEEEAN!!!!!
What happens if there are streaks on her stainless steel appliances? What kind of punishment do they get for that one? Those things are a bitch to shine up even for an adult.
@RealZiggyFlo: @MiloandJack @CandyDishes @Kateplusmy8 I notice the nosey neighbor no longer reports on Kate & Chris the pap is gone. Restraining orders???
From all I've read Kate or her PR used to call Chris to let him know where she'd be at any given time. Restraining orders? More like #noonecaresthatshesgoingtotargetagain. The sheeple are on such a tear against RH (he lusts after Kate dontchaknow and she rebuffed him which is why he's after her) that they must really be scared that everything he says is true.
I confess that I use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth, after watching an episode of Myth Busters and learning how much splash back there can be from a toilet. I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink?

****** I do that too. Summer pool- have several suits and rinse the suit and hang my towels and reuse. What cracked me up is Kate's saying how the kids hang their towels in a sanitary fashion! Defensive, much??
Wouldn't put it past her Auntie Anne. Oh I would love to know if that nanny (or any of the others) took some sweet revenge on her. Spit in her coffee, box of wine, had the dog drink from her cup, used her toothbrush to clean the toilet, floors...etc etc... you know? Harmless yet VERY satisfying shit!

Oh I like the way you think Vanessa. lol!
Seriously. The kids WILL seek their revenge one way or another. They don't owe Kate their souls. I'm sure they've heard how she carried them in her womb and suffered to give them life so many times that they're sick of the story. They WILL grow up.
@Kateplusmy8 7m Today's 'second breakfast' is .... Homemade egg custard with fresh red raspberries! #Brunch #Yum #HappyKids pic.twitter.com/ViNp5tEYML
Why is everything with her homemade? She never fails to make sure that her fans know it's homemade. Homemade cookies while watching the fireworks; homemade egg custard. Just for once I'd like to see her tweet that she bought custard at the local farmers market and it was excellent, and the kids loved it.
Glad the raspberries were fresh. She had to mention that. Nothing like serving your kids moldy raspberries.
Terri said... I still don't understand why those kids have to brush their teeth in the damn kitchen. With all the bathrooms in that house why can't they use one to brush teeth. It just strikes me as VERY odd.
I agree - especially at age 10 they should be able to be trusted to brush properly. I think it's just another facet of TFW's control. She and Jon started brushing for them and IIRC she was far less than gentle. She's also lazy so she probably doesn't want to walk to the bathroom to check on them. She wants to watch to make sure they're brushing for as long as she dictates and with the technique she's mandated.
" I still don't understand why those kids have to brush their teeth in the damn kitchen. With all the bathrooms in that house why can't they use one to brush teeth. It just strikes me as VERY odd."
If you check the photos of the three boys she posted on Twitter, dated April 27, 2014, you can see what looks like a lot of plaque on Colin's teeth. Or is is just the photo?
Really makes me think the couple in question were trying to cheap out child care and didn't bother to do much, if any, screening. ******* This is a bizarre story and I understand child care is pricey, but it you can't do it safely, then I can't see doing it. I mean, figure *something* else out, not matter what sacrifices you must make. Around me, I guess you can get licensed to have child care in your home. One house just makes me smh when I walk the neighborhood with my dog. It's a largeish ;-) newer home with a 2-car garage, and this garage (at the end of a short driveway) is used as part of the daycare. WTF? The garage door is up, there's large area rugs, and a looooong gate/low fence structure to keep the kids in. I can't imagine dropping my kid off there- I'd be sweating bullets that someone, anyone, could snatch one of them. My dogs are better protected at their kennel in the country.
Again, smh.
Also, Craig's list? I'm afraid to buy or sell an object on that site, let alone find child care!
Bitchy Pants said: Apparently, the couple advertised on Craig's list for a nanny (!!) and hired this woman, who was homeless and had been for 9 years! She'd lived in a shelter for a while and when the shelter banned her she lived in her car. Really makes me think the couple in question were trying to cheap out child care and didn't bother to do much, if any, screening. ******** Oh for pete's sake -- maybe the State ought to check on these parents, because to me, that's negligent parenting at the very least. Who the heck does that? And many homeless people have mental issues, which is often a large factor in why they are homeless. I cannot imagine risking my child's life to save a few bucks!
Sounds like karma came around and bit these two idiots. Too bad their children had to deal with the mess also.
I had a wonderful friend who passed a number of years ago. She was a widow when I knew her, and was the kindest, sweetest lady. When her husband was very sick and in the hospital, she got to know his doctor quite well. Shortly after he passed away, the doctor called her and begged her to please come be a caregiver for he and his wife's 3 children. He had seen first hand how devoted she was to her husband and what a positive, kind spirit she had. She refused at first but he kept pleading with her and talked her into it. She enjoyed working for this couple very much - they treated her very well, and she loved the children and they loved her. They gave her a cruise as a Christmas present one year; bought her a new car another time.
Over In TFW's County said... 63 Maybe the school could do something about it. How about banning her from the games. At practice, only drop off and pick ups.
Ban her for what? Yelling at the games? The school is not going to ban a parent from the games. You just can't go around banning Kate because she's not liked by some, and you can't forbid her to attend her children's games or keep her out of school events.
******** Even if only 1/8 kids gets to be involved with organized sports, it's better than none. I don't know what happened with this "yelling" incident, and have seen pics of Kate posing with people where she looks just fine, so I don't know-maybe this is not usual for her to act poorly at Cara's games.
Re: TFW's affection for the bird. I wonder if it has anything to do w/Zorro being completely dependent on TFW. Despite her constant complaining, I think she was fond of her infant children being so dependent and needing her for everything. Zorro will always need her. She can pet it and coo to it (until it bites her, that is) just like she did with her newborns. I get a feeling the emotional gratification she receives cuddling with the bird is similar to what she feels holding infants.

It wasn't a school event it was a club team. Interestingly the club soccer teams around here have a rule against even cheering during the game. You have to MAKE the team. It's a club...they can kick out whoever they want.
Katykat said... 68 I think 2nd breakfast emphasizes that she doesn't feed them enough at the FIRST breakfast. A little snack may be needed aftera good breakfast, but not a whole other meal before lunch. By her own stupidity she makes it double the work. Make enough the first time. ***** These little custards can be made days ahead of time and stored in the fridge, so I'm not so sure Kate just "whipped it up". I wouldn't even assume that she made them.
Sheri said... 67 ******* But, isn't how predictable she is kind of fun? I see custard. Did Kate make it today? I don't know. Did Kate even make it? I don't know. Did any of the kids eat it? I don't know.

Tail just hanging (not tucked between legs) could mean dog is relaxed. Most dogs stand with their front legs apart, just a normal stance. The dog is not pulling backward and he has his face right up against the human. The dog's ears don't appear to be laying down (flat to the head) to me. I don't see next hing wrong with the position of the collar either and i don't see him holding the dog by the collar against his will. Look a little closer, on hand on side of dog's face and the other on top of his head. I just don't see the terrified dog that she sees in this picture.
getofftwitter said... 71 Vanessa: about a week or two before the first special: one of the rags had a article about, celebrity nannys and hire help, and they included Kate, and the article said about Kate that she has cameras all over the house to spy on nannys, hired help and the kids. She listened into what the nannys said and what the kids say, and she listened in her bedroom.
******************************************
Sheesh! Thanks for confirming what we all probably imagined
Didn't Jon say the same thing? ***************************************************** Yeah, and I'm betting that it was from LISTENING to a therapist who interviewed/spoke to the kids.
@CandyDishes @RealZiggyFlo @Kateplusmy8 @TLC Good post! I think RoHo's plan backfired-it boosted ratings. You know he watched, lusting & fantasizing.
&&&&&&&&
Do they actually believe what they tweet, or do they just throw this stuff out thinking that most of the sheeple are as dumb as they are? If the ratings were down on the second part, how could anyone with any amount of intelligence whatsoever say that his book boosted ratings?
Unless this person was acknowledging that if not for Robert's book, the ratings for the second part would have been much lower than they already were. In that case, if you were a fan, how stupid would you have to be to even suggest that?
I hate to defend Kate but the story about her yelling at the girls selling raffle tickets for the lacrosse team doesn't ring true to me. Why would Kate yell at someone that was doing something that would help her daughter's own team? However; I do think the egg custard pic ( which looked gross) was posted to show everyone that she does not underfeed her children. I expect to see Shoka pics or a blog post from Shoka very soon.
I don't want to stir up the great swimsuit debacle again but I still say no to repeated wearings inbetween washings. I've seen too many hospitalizations since becoming a nurse and it's absolutely frightening how easily girls get serious u.t.i. that turn into life threatening kidney infections. We also need to drastically reduce the amount of antibiotics being prescribed before they stop working all together. It's just not worth the risk i.m.o..
I learned during one of my microbiology classes that if you mix up a spray bottle with 10% bleach 90% water, spray it on your counters and leave it there for thirty seconds, it kills everything. Our instructor went ballistic if this wasn't done before anyone sat down. I now do it to my own counters before preparing food.
Oh remember when she was making soup on J&K and she beat the dust out of the carpets in the kitchen.
****************************************
I do not remember that but recall her griping at Jon for doing something which put dust in the air while she was making soup. Maybe that episode when she put a hot lid on the cooktop and it shattered?
Has this been posted? Another Radar article, this time quoting Dr. Sue Cornbluth, whom they call a noted parenting expert.

I recall seeing in the infamous "no fun things promo" on the wall a security motion sensor. It would be easy to also have motion activated cameras in that house plus listening devices (like nanny cams). I totally believe she monitors everything (like big brother) from her bedroom. It makes sense Steve, Mr. Security Man, had the equipment installed. Totally sick to spy on people like that. Perhaps this is why she goes through nannies all the time and the kids are spied on to get punished.
Njay 41, In addition to the !!! I noticed how bad the writer's grammar was (e.g. Me and my girls) and the capital letters when it should be lower case.
I think people should just assume that there's cctv in homes that employ nannies, nurses etc.. I oversaw a couple of home healthcare cases where one patient had baby monitors (hidden) all over the room and the other had video cams and signs posted. I can't say I blame people but someone like TFW would be a nightmare all around to work for and I can't imagine her being able to rewind my day frame by frame and critically review every minute. I can't believe anyone stayed in her employment for very long. I know RH said Judy was there a long time. Bless her heart. I wouldn't have lasted a week.
I confess that I use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth, after watching an episode of Myth Busters and learning how much splash back there can be from a toilet. I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink? (Before guests come over, all tooth-brushing implements are tucked away in the bathroom cabinet) June 30, 2014 at 9:03 AM ********* I always put the seat down before flushing. ******** Good idea! But in a shared bathroom situation, you cannot know for sure what others might or might not do :)
I do wash my swimsuit after each use, but that's because I don't swim often. I'd say if you do swim daily but don't wash your suit daily --- and have had no problems -- then you're fine. If on the other hand, a person was experiencing problems, rashes or otherwise, then maybe they might want to consider washing after each use. We are all individual and our bodies do react differently.
It's one thing to have a nanny cam strictly to make sure the nanny is not abusing your child, etc but it's another thing to use it to spy and dole out punishment.
Question: was both Jon & Kate at Cara game? If they were, then maybe kate did yell at the girls selling tickets, to get Jon's attention, and/or to start a fight with him. After all, she did put the kids on TV, even though he is against it, and her belief that Jon is going to make money with Robert's book.
Or, Kate did that to get attention to herself. You know, look who's here, it's me Kate Gosselin, star of TLC's TV special Kate + 8. I'm sooo important!, You have a celeb here!
Whatever happened to Nanny Judy- the one the kids loved and who was reported to be amazing with them?

There is a two-mile stretch of road in PA where the curb has been set aside especially for Kate's discarded relatives, friends, laundry ladies, handymen, housekeepers, husband, cooks, publishers, babysitters and nannies.

It's the same episode.
KK was bitching and moaning about Jon getting the kitchen dirty while she was cooking so he left then she began to bang carpets.
Tucker's Mom said... 93 Whatever happened to Nanny Judy- the one the kids loved and who was reported to be amazing with them? =================
According to Robert, Kate fired her because she remained friends with Jon after the divorce, despite her having been friends with Jon before she even became a nanny.
I have to admit some of the sheeple are good for a laugh today. This one apparently thinks that the testimonial from Figure8 on Itzaparty's web page was faked. You have to look at the picture to see how she illogically explains this. Her explanation is in the gray area above the screen shot of the testimonial. She apparently thinks that the previous comment dated 5/20 was in response to the Figure8 testimonial.

It totally rings true to me. The guy who tweeted it has a sister who plays on the team and got hurt at the tourney apparently. Another girl took a selfie and she is one of the ones that tweeted with the guy. The girl has a lanco elite shirt on, and their website said they had a tournament at Lehigh that weekend. There are other kids who were included in tweets who also said TFW is mean, etc.
I'm sure she feels she paid the money for C to join the team, she doesn't need to buy a raffle ticket to defer any costs because she's rolling in money and it doesn't matter to her how much it costs.
According to Robert's book, TFMJG fired Judy because she remained friends with Jon after the divorce. Never mind that she'd been friends with Jon for a long time and that Jon is the one who hired her. Thus again proving that TFMJG is a vindictive witch who hates her ex more than she loves her children.
I know that they can't ban her from the games. It just makes me ill to think she thinks she can go out in public, treat anyone or anybody, including children and act like a jack@, scream, holler on a dime.
She needs an intervention.
If she is at a game and is cheering on C's team like a normal person would do, that is fine. But to holler at some girls selling raffle tickets at a game is just wrong. What if the girls parents were there and they went and told them. How would they react?
She is going to holler at the wrong person or someone's kid one of these days.
Forget all the negativity and bring back this family to us!! Haters will always be haters and Lovers will always be lovers!! We love the show!!!!! I especially love Kate and love how she does what she needs to for her kids!!! --------------- Sorry that I'm repeating myself but everytime I think of what Kate wrote, pretending to be a grandma of 3, just CRACKS ME UP. I mean, the !!!! are such a give-a-way and what she says about haters and how she loves Kate, ahh understatement, for what she does for her kids.
Really, people here have said that kate and her fans do this type of thing but I never saw it for myself. It's just too funny. No question it's her.
Carole said... 40 ""Well lookie here. She's put more than 3 raspberries on the plate!'' ~~~~~~~~~~~ BUT......she only put more raspberries on the plate so she can take most away. After all, FOOD is ''currency'' for Jon's children!! !!!!!!
That custard was for Kate. It was made by whoever is her professional chef these days. There was only ever one serving for her and none for the kids. IMO.
I have been following the Nanny Squatter as the media calls her now since it started. The dad works full time, electric something, the mom homeschools, and wanted to start a home business. 2 boys and a baby. Realizing they needed help, they put an ad on Craig's list. A friend of the NS said, hey look on Craig's list and see if you can find something. And the rest is history.
The parents all they had to do is go to a website that does background checks and they would of easily found all of the many lawsuits this woman has filed against her family, everybody. She has filed so many in Southern CA that now when she files she has to pay a certain fee because she is so lawsuit happy.
The dad was upset because he said he has to go to work and my wife and children are here and the squatter just TOWERS over my wife. The lady looks happy with the picture in the kitchen, but on video when they handed her the eviction notice she looked bad, mentally bad. Day and night.
When I was keeping E, her mom told me, I just want you to take care of E. I will take care of everything else. She had so much on her plate as I did at my house. E would sleep for 1 or 2 hours and I would keep the laundry going and other things.
Has kate even thought that maybe the nannies that were underpaid, treated bad might get together and file a lawsuit on her for mental anguish and bad working conditions?
Wow. Sweet payback to the old hack. Poor Laverne and Shirley. Another possible future phone call.
Funny animal stories: we had a small dog that loved to pull stuffing out of any stuffed animal, so I got her a long fabric snake with no stuffing, but squeakers. She loved that snake, would crew on it for hours trying to get the squeakers out. We also had a big old lazy black cat, who was disdainful of everyone else in the house. In the mornings, I started to notice that snake toy was never where we left it. One night I heard meowing and went downstairs quietly. There was Mr. Disdainful Black Cat, with the snake toy, under the kitchen table. pouncing on it, like it was prey. Making all these undignified maowr sounds. When he realized I was watching him, he dropped the snake and turned around as if to say ” snake? What snake? I'm certainly not playing with a DOG toy, you must be imagining things!” Funniest thing, we had to sneak to catch him with the toy. He played with it until he died.
As an avid cook I also have "knife and pan rules". But I also consider needing the rules because I have a hubby that reheats everything on "10" and has ruined more of my pans/skillets than I can count. When he ruined my small wok that I had spent months carefully seasoning, I made the rules & created his own cabinet section with the pots & pans he can use. He had a habit of using my good knives and leaving them covered in whatever he cut up & tossed into the sink. So know there is a knife block filled with "hubby approved" knives (ie: less expensive/not my good knives).
The closest to "kate behavior" I ever came to was when I got up and found my small wok burned to a crisp and left in the sink filled with soapy water. I did have to blame myself at the same time, because I'm the one who showed him that he could reheat his potatoes/veggies in the wok. Remember, my hubby works nights. I cook his "dinner" before I got to bed each night & he reheats it & makes himself a salad each morning when he gets home & I'm still asleep. So I can't just ban him from the kitchen. I didn't have to lose my mind on him or go postal over it. That afternoon, I rearranged a cabinet, put together a knife block for him & then told him "this is your pan cabinet & here is your knife block. Unless you want to wash your dishes immediately after eating, use the pans in this cabinet & use these knives". Haven't had a problem since.
we were laughing yesterday because he was helping me prep the garden stuff for the freezer & he was getting to use my new cutting board & one of the good knives. He was all "look at me being all special and using the GOOD kitchen stuff". And yes, he knew immediately that he wasn't going to be allowed to use the new cutting board because he forgets & will put meat on a wooden board, but he was impressed that I found a good heavy duty wooden board for under $10 (hint: Home Despot wood department). This morning when I got up, he told me that he had put another coat of mineral oil & beeswax on it for me, but that he didn't use it, he used the plastic one.
Self serving brag moment: yesterday I put up in the freezer (all fresh from the garden & picked yesterday) 4 quart bags of sugar snap peas, 9 quart bags of green beans cooked w/ bacon, onions & garlic, 7 quart bags of squash cooked with bacon, onions, jalapenos & brown sugar, and a gallon of icebox pickles (cukes, onions, peppers, garlic cloves in apple cider vinegar). To prep for what I knew was coming yesterday, on Saturday I made 4 pans of red & green chili enchiladas....from scratch. As in, I made the red sauce and green chili sauce from scratch. I learned how to make them from my step gramma, who was from Old Mexico, before she passed away. when Kate can make something like that from scratch, then I might be impressed with her cooking skills. Until then, she's just mediocre in the kitchen in my opinion.

I also would wash a suit if the person stays in it to sunbath, play etc. for a long period of time. Sweating in a swimsuit all day as Kelly said can definitely lead to UTIs and other bacteria collecting.

Adam Brandt @abrandt95 3m @David__Holmes yelled at teens trying to sell a raffle ticket. She's the real bully spread the word ----------- It did not specify what the tickets were for. They could have been for C's team, the opposing team, or an unrelated cause.
4:35 PM - 29 Jun 2014 · Details
David Holmes @David__Holmes now At the game? I saw she sat alone. who'd sit by her? @abrandt95 Expand
I totally believe Kate would be insulting or even raise her voice to ANYONE who DARED to approach her. Another reason for having Steve around. She is not capable of being gracious.
So are you guys saying that Kate was alone at the game (no tups) because tups were with Jon, therefore the tweet about Alexis falling asleep next to her was a lie?
Tucker's Mom said... 77 And the part about having meltdowns about her knives and improper use is laughable. She has no knife skills whatsoever.
******** Kate's knife skills are very mediocre. Hey, look, that's fine! But don't tell me your some whiz in the kitchen. I've seen Kate with a knife and she isn't impressive.
Home cooks who invest heavily in their knives don't worry about anyone misusing them, because they are not allowed to use them- too sharp. I don't know what kind of knives Kate's huge white set are, but I don't think they're forged by a 5th generation knifemaker in Japan ;-) &&&&&&&&&&&
Lol! I know Kate had grifted some Cutco knives early on. The Cutco man had an ad on their website which eventually he had to pay for (Like Em Tanner) There was an email exchange between Kate and Jon in the book where Kate was irritated with the Cutco guy told Jon to "just get rid of him."
Kate's knife set showed up during her kitchen remodel...it was talked about on this blog a few yrs ago. Her Cutco set (I think she has TWO) are worth several thousand dollars...
I guess everything in her house was grifted for the new house...wonder what's going to happen when the ol' leather couch falls apart and she needs a new one? LOL

They have officially entered the depths of patheticness trying to spin for that hateful witch. Since there is no spin, they're just making crap up.
JORDAN SWAIM Associate Producer If you ask Jordan what her favorite hobby is, you’re sure to get a very quick response:
Television.
Whether it’s an epic series like LOST or a drama-filled episode of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, she could talk your ear off about every character, plot point, and major event for hours on end.
It’s because of her passion for television that Jordan chose to major in Media Studies and Production at UNC-Chapel Hill. While there, she spent most of her time writing, editing, and producing for Student TV and landed an internship at Figure 8 in the summer of 2009.
Jordan knew she had found the perfect job after working on hit shows like Kate Plus 8 and 19 Kids & Counting. It wasn’t long before her determination, attention to detail, and an odd love for deliverables got her hired full-time at Figure 8 in 2012.
When she’s not buried deep in Duggar deliverables, Jordan enjoys eating Taco Bell, playing board games, and of course, watching TV.

Yep I totally agree. I doubt if Kate even knows how to properly put an edge on those knives and I have a sneaking suspicion she doesn't even use them.
And yes with her knife skills she really should still be using a butter knife. She wouldn't want to nip the end off any of those disgusting french talons.
This afternoon, on the Family Channel, there is a program called "Dog With A Blog". It has been on for a long, long time. Copy much kreider?? And no, sheeple, Family Channel Did Not copy from her!
I see some of the sheeple are all excited about the marathon on Wednesday. I just checked out the episodes and was pleased to see that the episodes are all JON & kate plus 8, and will show Jon at his most loving father/caretaker best, and TCFW in all her nasty glory.
I'm getting such a kick out of TLC focusing on episodes that flatter Jon and expose that nutty WOS!
I just read the National Enquirer article while waiting for my watch battery to be replaced at the drugstore. It WAS a nanny who spilled it, and she said Kate was condescending and rude. She talked about how the NANNY took care of the chickens, to include cleaning the house, letting them out, putting them in, collecting/washing/labeling eggs. Yes, labeling eggs. They must be labeled! Kate had a rule of no clutter on the floor and the lady stopped bringing a purse to work because it was considered clutter on the floor. So you can't put your purse or grocery bags on the counter, and nothing is allowed on the floor. Where are you supposed to PUT these things? It doesn't look like screen shots, but emails, for those who won't see it. Reading it, it's clear Kate makes it impossible to please her, and I think she gets her jollies pushing people to see how far they will go before they break, and then she cries about how everyone leaves her. She is a self-fulfilling prophecy. She expects them to leave and they do - because of HER. Really, you are expecting someone to cook, clean, babysit, take care of animals, and be Inspector Gadget for Jon, and your clutter of one purse on the floor is unacceptable. That is absurd.
It's a new week. The rabid sheeple have decided to attack Robert, bordering on libel with some of their tweets today, imo. Since they can't refute the FACTS in the book, they've decided to attack the messenger, even 'analyzing' a photo. LMAO

Ah, yes. A 20 something, recent college grad who loves tv, working as a production assistant for the Duggar and Gosselin families. I can see TFW 'bonding' with her and the twins. SMH
We know that TFW was at the game (pic and tweets), plus Cara obviously because she was playing. No mention of anyone else in attendance. As for Alexis - we know Jon had 6 of 8 children Friday night (per tweets plus pic of 3+) so it's assumed he had them for the full weekend. However TFW tweeted on Fri nite that A said something. So.... it's anyone's guess where A was when TFW tweeted.

Kate's knife set showed up during her kitchen remodel...it was talked about on this blog a few yrs ago. Her Cutco set (I think she has TWO) are worth several thousand dollars...
I've had a set of these knives for years. Yes, they're nice, but there are many other knives that are of much better quality. They're quite durable and IMO, there's no reason for her to be so protective of them. I also don't find them to be so sharp that they'd be too dangerous for an adult to use. I think the instruction for the nanny to not use them was just another unrealistic control point for TFW.
Kate's knife skills are very mediocre. Hey, look, that's fine! But don't tell me your some whiz in the kitchen. I've seen Kate with a knife and she isn't impressive. -----------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if she actually put her own money out to buy those knives and that's why she's so hyper-anal about them. It stings her more when things she actually paid for need to be replaced, especially now that the gravy train is slowing.
I have never met a German Shepherd that you could hold and pet against their will. My brother trains K9 dogs for police departments and security and trust me Shoka is not afraid of Robert in that picture.
All these rules that Kate has is simply a way for the employee to fail. No one can do anything as well as Kate, don't you know.
I remember the housekeeper episode where Kate hired a housekeeper from an agency. Kate had to move books and stretch way in the back of the shelf to find something wrong. She is all about find fault with someone/something so she can play the superior card.
And another thing. If she hired the housekeepers who were non-US citizens, did she take care of the green card? Many a politician has been caught in employing non-documented foreigners. Oh wait, Kate is above the law, this doesn't apply to her.
I'm sure she feels she paid the money for C to join the team, she doesn't need to buy a raffle ticket to defer any costs because she's rolling in money and it doesn't matter to her how much it costs. ______________________________
local, I agree. I can completely see her bitching at anyone who approached her to buy a raffle ticket. Robert wrote in his book about finding school fundraiser flyers/letters she had dumped (some unopened) in her trash. It completely fits her MO.
Funny how the uber truth teller has such confidence in her ability to read a dog's body language, and in the past has completely refuted a PhD's ability to read either her hero's or the kids' body language - a woman who has done it for decades as her JOB.
Yay Robert! I dunno Robert, Shoka did look like he was ready to bite your face off when he was giving you those slobbery wet doggie kisses! ;) ________________________
Yes, sparkle. I agree! It is so clear that Shoka was getting ready to viciously lick Robert to death! I can't believe there was no arrow in that photo pointing to Shoka's tongue - that weapon of mass destruction!
Cutch knives may cost several thousand dollars but they are pretty mediocre (to borrow a word) in the knife world. The husband got into kitchen knives over the last 2-3 years and we own some worth several hundred each and he is also possessive of their care because they are delicate and sharp as razors. In comparison, these are like Lamborghini knives and Cutco is a Ford Taurus...good, reliable, but nothing special and nothing to freak out over.
In comparison, these are like Lamborghini knives and Cutco is a Ford Taurus...good, reliable, but nothing special and nothing to freak out over. **** I have a couple Cutco knives given as wedding gifts, and they're functional but I don't use them for the heavy lifting. They are the Amway of the knife world.
I hope that doesn't sound snobbish, but no chef or home cook who has decent knife skills pines away for a Cutco knife of any kind.
For kids to be driving Gators is nuts. They are simply too young. Out here in the West, people let their little kids drive around in ATVs. At least two or three times each summer, some young child is killed. It was tragic and sad recently when two grandparents took two grandchildren out to the mountains to ride around in the ATV. Grandpa somehow rolled the ATV. Both Grandparents were killed, Two little kids were hospitalized in critical condition. Why. Why can't people see the danger in these vehicles?
Carole said... 182 Those dumb azz sheeple just won't accept the fact that if Robert says he has PROOF/documentation he has it. SMDH The more they insist on challenging him, the more he's going to fight back. He said he has more and I believe him. I don't think TFW would be happy if they force him to use it to defend himself against their accusations. &&&&&&&&&&
They are never going to live down their NO PICTURE NO PROOF declaration. Like, ever. I'm sure they are regretting the day they bleated it.
I read all of Roberts book last week on vacation and on the plane. It was interesting though it really droned on in the last third. I understood why it did, but man it took some effort to get through the tweets at times. It was a bit of a bore because he was very meticulous to document and not overreach in his conclusions. There was little interpretation and mostly documentation. The documentation was frightening enough without extrapolating conclusions. I find the paparazzi stuff disturbing but it also clear it was courted on most occasions. Having read every word in this book, it's not Shakespeare but fairly well done. It's clear he writes better in short segments but the book was honestly better than I expected. It is also obvious he has zero romantic interest in Kate... This was a job that sucked him in and it was her behavior that encouraged him to continue. I really think she is close to done now. Her kids are unemployable in entertainment and it is all her fault. Casting directors won't touch them because it means dealing with her and it's pretty well documented she is difficult. She has been largely unemployable since DWTS because it was clear how difficult she was...television is all about money and they cannot sink money into volatile, unreliable, diva talent. If you look at watch she has done since them, it is limited run lower caliber programs...CWS is a Dlist parade and CA is always a freak show of 'I thought that person was dead' talent. Her problem is America just doesn't give a damn about her anymore and those who do are either appalled by her activities or are sycophants who probably need medication. It's hard to market yourself as a brand when the public thinks you are a buffoon,
The sheeple used to make me mad, now they just fascinate me. How low will they go before they feel any kind of humiliation or embarrassment? The comment about RH and Shoka was just so ridiculous and desperate. Anyone looking at the picture, even if they didn't know the history behind all of this, would see a very happy dog.
Now that RH's book has come out and there is a nanny spilling her guts, perhaps more people will come forth to tell their stories. I think the flood gates may have been opened. I sure hope so.
OK, almost 1,000 comments in and I finally watched the carnival clip at the header of this thread. OMG, does that woman ever use a pronoun other than I? This show was supposed to be about the kids turning 10 - hardly, it's all about Kate. And that ridiculous carnival booth setup with a mere handful of kids milling around? More nonsense. I have never seen a more dissatisfied POS. If she had only known she would have to deal with fish, waving her hand dismissively. Guess this week all she can do is caress her interview chair and sigh deeply. It's over, way over now.
If she had only known she would have to deal with fish, waving her hand dismissively *******
Kate's utterly laser-focused rant about the fish was pure farce. Mady was trying to crowbar a syllable in there to remind Kate that one of her children actually won a fish, and hells bells, if you don't want the potential of 6 additional fish to become fixtures in your house, perhaps you shouldn't make ping-pong fish bowls a game in your kids' f*cking carnival!
sparkle said....Next can you address their claim that you are madly in love with Kate and lust for her hahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!
Rhymes with Witch said... Robert, please don't bother. Save your ammunition for issues that matter. &&&&&&&&&&
???????? I was making a joke, indicated by the long string of hahahas after my original comment. You removed those when you c&p my comment in your post. Why the jump?
Robert, please don't bother. Save your ammunition for issues that matter.
&&&
Yes please don't bother. They are desperate. They need to take a deep breath and quit while they're ahead. Let them look like the nuts that they are. That was one of the nuttiest thing I've ever seen from a sheep, really making a graphic out of analyzing a photo? You're not a fashion expert at US Weekly, lol. It's Kate f-ing Gosselin. Good lord who cares about defending such a thing?
Really. Anyone who would go so far as to make an entire graphic out of analyzing something so stupid does not deserve the attention.
Although I do kind of love that he schooled that with a series of pictures of the dogs having a blast running alongside the ATVs, and Nala playfully finding shade under his ATV. Egg meet face, even if it's not worth wasting an egg on that one. Ignore her.
Regarding the fans' accusation of Robert of (I can barely type this with a straight face) desiring TFW, I can come to only one reasonable explanation:
projection - the unconscious ascription of personal thought, feeling or impulse to somebody else - especially a thought or feeling considered undesirable
That's also the only M.O. they have, shoot the messenger.
They never actually address the allegations themselves. They only try to discredit the messenger in any desperate way they can. Look at it this way. Let's assume Robert is bad with dogs. Let's assume he is the worst guy in the world with dogs, doesn't have a CLUE. What the HELL does that have to do with the fact that Kate Gosselin is a child and animal abuser??? NOTHING. What don't they understand about this?
Remember when they insisted that Robert and I were working together because Robert once went with his family to an event at what may or may not have been a college I went to? lol. I guess they're not very engaged with their communities to know that college towns have events constantly at the college and that in any given year hundreds of thousands of people can pass through the campus and attend those events without ever having any contact with the students. And if they knew anything about law school they would know that nobody has time to attend campus events like it's a free for all much less collaborate with some random nobody from PA to bring down the sheeple's idol. You're studying constantly or eating or working. Idiots.
I've never even heard of this guy until the book and frankly I thought he was kind of odd and said so. As if I ever would have helped him out. In any case their smoking gun is usually ridiculous, delusional and creepy in their obsession with private people who happened to have mentioned they don't like Kate. WTF?
Does it ever occur to them they make Kate's position look weak when they so desperately cling to such silly accusations, like a dog licking someone's face and turning it into "animal abuse"? And let's make a graphic about it just in case I really didn't drive home the point that I'm a nut.
It's like all they do is highlight the fact that they got nothing. They don't see this. They don't get it. They're so DUMB.
I actually still have a set of cheap farberware knives from college and every single one is still sharp, works well, and are much safer for inexperienced cooks like teens.
Nothing cuts an apple like a farberwear paring knife. It's just a good set and I don't care that it was, what, 36 bucks?
I took Kate's tweet about the egg custard, "second breakfast", and "#brunch" to mean that both she and the children slept in. And while I have no doubt that the twins (like most kids their age) did sleep in, I hope that the 10 year olds didn't have to wait until 11:30 for breakfast (or to come down stairs) and we're at least allowed to make themselves a bowl of cereal. Further, if she's trying to tweet pictures to compensate for the NE claims that she gives the kids small portions, then she should #1 take more appetizing pictures, and #2 actually feed her children larger portions. She was seen in both parts of the special feeding the children very small portions, including giving them only half an egg sandwich for breakfast, doling out kale chips in cupcake liners, and giving the children 1 sausage, one piece of toast, and a tablespoon of scrambled eggs for another breakfast.
Three more of BV's Twitter accounts were banned today. Karmaville, Cupidville,, Slingerville. Looks like Jimmy and Kate have fallen on hard times. Too bad, so sad.
I'm using the knives that were handed down to me from my grandmother. She used them during the 50s. Funny thing is that they do what they are supposed to do -- slice and chop, and they do it just fine. I also use all of her cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens, turkey roasters, and although you can tell that they were used to cook so many holiday dinners, nothing tastes like a roast browned and cooked on the stove top in a heavy Dutch kettle.
Count me in for thinking the chef made that custard. It was just too neat, too appetizing. It was "plated." Nothing like what she usually makes.
The splash of raspberries all over it also just isn't Kate's style. She would put them on the side in a neat little pile or not think to pair with raspberries in the first place.
I also noticed she tweeted a platitude about "shit." Real classy for her young fans. And secondly, hey Kate, not every single whistleblower is out to "destroy other human beings." There is more to whistleblowing than that, and to brush it off like that is just ignorance. Get educated about what it means to whistle blow in this great country.
I use cast iron too! I switched over after doing a lot of reading that concerned me about Teflon and other things of that nature.
It took awhile to get the seasoning to where I want it and it's still a work in progress, but it's to the point now where it's pretty much non stick. It's heavy and kind of a pain to clean, but it's soooo worth the effort. The way it crisps up things like potatoes for breakfast is to die for and makes a perfect egg. I refuse to cook breakfast in anything else. Highly recommend it.
Admin (#6), good grief, did TFW really tweet the "s" word in a platitude? Didn't Gladys confirm that her heroine was squeaky clean in all matters of language - unlike that potty-mouth ex of hers? And I seem to remember TFW saying she and the kids loved, "We Bought A Zoo," but that she didn't know why they had to resort to using foul language. The mask is slipping...
OH I forgot to mention of course the tweet is carefully worded. She never actually said SHE made the custard, just that it was homemade. She does this all the time.
Wouldn't a normal person just say "I" made this? This is how normal people speak unless they're lying.
Anonymous said... 8 Who's to say Kate took the second breakfast pic? for all we know she lifted it off the internet. it was done time and time again in her cookbook.
Janna June 30, 2014 at 6:48 PM &&&&&&& That's her plate and her counter. I have no doubt Kate took that Bon Appetite masterpiece.
All you posters here, are terrific! I don't have twitter, only google, so you keep me apprised. From what you've said, the custard 2nd breakfast was a ruse, as is everything TFW comes up with. Of. Purse she reads here: damage control is her forte. I hope she is GONE GIRL.
Wouldn't a normal person just say "I" made this? This is how normal people speak unless they're lying. June 30, 2014 at 6:52 PM ******* 4 requests for the recipe and... crickets. Milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla... bake in bain-marie... wow, that took me 6 whole seconds.
Re: knives... We have an assortment of the high end swanky Japanese ones, Wusthofs, and even one old Cutco. Here's what I recommend... go to Williams-Sonoma, Bed, Bath and Beyond, or another place that sells a wide variety of knives. Try a bunch of them for hand feel. My to-go knives are not always expensive ones but the ones that feel good in my hand. Get something that feels solid and most of all, comfortable in your hand and also imagine what it will be like wet and slippery (as in can you keep a grip). Get something with a full tang which can be sharpened. A half-tang knife often is pressed out and cannot be sharpened. One of the problems with Cutco (at least the lines I've seen) is they use a serrated blade cannot be sharpened. A good full tang knife that you are comfortable with (you can find them as cheap as you want or as expensive as you want) which can be sharpened (professionally... its usually about $2 a blade where I live unless you want to learn to do it yourself, but its a real art) will last you decades. I personally lean towards 5 to 7 inch paring knives because I like the control they give me and I prefer them to chef's knives for most work. The one knife I cannot live without though is not very expensive.. its the wusthof sausage knife which I think has been renamed the serrated utility knife. I love this thing. It is perfect for tomatoes, bagels, or anything smallish sized that you need a grip. Mine is from the classic series... not the most expensive, but it feels the best in my hand and I've used it at least 1-2 a week for about 11 years.
And that's the thing, I could care less if she wants to say shit, retweet shit, or eat shit and die.
But stop with the two-faced shit about what a pearl of little righteousness you are, such a good mommy and role model.
Things are shitty, often. Whatever. But if you choose not to go there and claim you don't go there, you better make darn sure that's your choice and that you're not just saying that to butter up your self-righteous sheeple.
Tucker -- TFMJG probably doesn't even know what bain-marie is.
Those pictures of Robert with Shoka were sweet, and the one with Jon is sad. You can tell he really loved that dog and it hurts my heart to thing that he doesn't get to see him any more. Raise your hand if you think TFMJG brought Shoka back just to spite Jon (both hands waving energetically in the air).
I can understand that Robert feels the need to refute the animal abuse allegations. I'd be livid if someone accused me of that. However,we all know that the two sheeple who tweeted this nonsense are among the dumbest (okay, idiots) out there. The one has the PhD without the D, and the other one appears not to have one working brain cell. She makes things up as she goes along, and I really don't know how she has gotten away with it for so long.
I honestly never saw such a group of dumb people congregating in one place. It's like in order to belong to this flock you have to fail every intelligence test out there. Obviously they are not embarrassed by their stupidity, and in a way, that's sad. If they would be harmless, I'd almost feel sorry for them. However, the lies that they come up with are mean, vicious and cruel. They can't see the consequences of their actions, and all they are going to do is shoot themselves in the foot. Good grief, they aligned themselves with BV and look where that got them.
That said, you don't post false accusations against someone who has one of the best attorneys in the country. They are not smart enough to know that they really do need to be careful about making accusations like this...they think that they are above the law, and sheeple, you're going to do this to the wrong person.
Since nothing is true if there are no pictures, I'd really like to see their proof that Robert is lusting after Kate. That would be interesting, and good for a laugh. However, with dummies like this, it's best not to give them the time of day. Tit for tat back and forth isn't going to get you anywhere. The love it. They are master baiters. They'll keep this up until they cross the line. Give them enough rope...
Seems like all the sheeple and Kate are losing it due to the book. What happened to all the love and positivity?
Milo, the always "positive" one is now resorting to calling Dr. Sue Cornbluth names.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 21m I hate it when so-called experts like #CornballSue make sweeping statements abt nothing positive 4Kate's kids& yet she hasn't even met them!
Then Kate tweets this:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 1h PREACH IT!!! RT @Quotelmages: Everyone should know this.. pic.twitter.com/6aT1eBym9m
The picture is a image of the following quote:
"If someone treats you like shit, just remember that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don't go around destroying other human beings"
That quote applies so much to Kate and describes her to a T. She's the one who treats people like shit and is trying to destroy them. She is anything but normal.
Believe me, Kate. Everyone does know it about you, and we've been preaching it for years.
Someone with her background and resume is an expert.
Just like in the court of law, you are free to disagree and present a different expert, but it's silly to question their expertise. She is what she is, her resume is what it is. It's more than the Phd, it's the experience as well.
Don't they ever wonder what would cause all these experts over the years to say something? And isn't it embarrassing? An expert once analyzed my narcissist's divorce for a very reputable publication, and she was humiliated to tears. I really felt for the family over that but hopefully it was a wake up call. This is what you sign up for, don't like it don't be a celebrity.
Certainly there are many other higher profile celebs they could pick on who would give them more attention. Perhaps the concern is genuine?
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 5m Help (lol)! It's summertime and that means my kids overtake my tv remote and my bed til late into the night! #KidsRule #Outnumbered8:1 #❤️It
Kids Rule? Yeah, right. Just like they did when they didn't want a carnival for their birthday.
And more damage control. Earlier she tweeted a picture of Leah reading with Zorro stuffed in the front of her shirt.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 2h Evidently, Leah has taught Zorro how to read! #MaybeHeWillTalkNext? pic.twitter.com/oeQwCbUdgJ
Maybe when he talks, he'll say "Get me away from this nutjob!"
However, the lies that they come up with are mean, vicious and cruel. They can't see the consequences of their actions, and all they are going to do is shoot themselves in the foot.
To be fair, the haters are pretty vicious as well. No one on twitter is lily white, that's for sue.
Kate, thank you for posting that platitude for your kids, so they will know that "indeedy" there is nothing wrong with them and it is "indeedy" something wrong with you for treating them like shit all these years!
To be fair and honest, that goes both ways. The extreme haters are pretty vicious as well. No one on twitter is lily white.
&&&
No one said they were.
I don't understand why this is constantly brought up every time we're discussing something timely with yet another crazy fan.
If you have a specific example let's discuss it. If not why continue to bring it up?
Some of the extreme haters scare me so I ignore them. I'd rather not hear about it. What does that have to do with discussing a very over the top series of tweets today from a deranged fan? Respectfully, I don't get it.

I'm imagining how stressful (ADDED stress to their already stressful existence) any telephone conversation or even any "visit" (eye roll) with their dad is. Always wondering what little thing could set their mother off as far as what she thinks is a betrayal. They have no safe haven, their father I'm sure tells them he is, but they will never be fully honest with him because their abuser controls them. Just like all these adult victims who come forward after years of abuse, they have the same story, they COULDN'T tell anyone. Those kids...ugh

I was looking at some of the tweets surrounding the guy who tweeted about TFW yelling at girls about raffle tickets. I can't find his tweet but maybe that's because I can only look from my phone from work. Otherwise, he deleted it but not some replies. One of the girls who originally tweeted him about it saying "YAASSS" also replied to someone else who appears to be on the team and was bummed she wasn't going to the tourney since TFW was there. She replied "she's mean anyway"
If these are teammates of C, and it appears they are all part of Lancaster Elite Lacrosse Club, how awkward must it be for C? To have the mom everyone hates? My dd played rec soccer for years ( couldn't afford those club teams since I'm mediocre) and I can't imagine any of the moms yelling at any of the girls for anything, much less trying to sell you ( a millionaire) a raffle ticket TO SUPPORT THE TEAM.
Poor C.
Careful KK you wouldn't want Zorro popping those balloons in your chest while you have him in you shirt.
Cats enjoy their stuffies, too. A friend of mine had a stud male who used to breed a stuffed bunny regularly. He'd drag it around with him, hump it multiple times daily, and sleep with it. It would get so gross that it had to be washed every few weeks. My friend didn't object, though, because he still did his duty by the queens. After a couple of years, she neutered him and placed him in a forever home. Stuffed bunny included. My foundation queen had a stuffed pink panther toy that she loved. She never tried to hump it, but she would mother it. The couple of times she had a litter of kittens, she would put pink panther in with them when she left the nest. When she went to her forever home, pink panther went too. She crossed the Bridge a few years ago, but her forever mother still has pink panther in a place of honor.
Where are y'all finding these new articles/posts from Robert? When I went to his site, all I saw were links to a couple of articles from several days ago.
You know what I think is gross? People who keep the family's tooth brushes all in a common cup. I think Kate's kitchen ones are laid out ton one towel, also gross. I agree each person can rinse his/her own. There are also those little plastic hoods for brushes kept in a bathroom as many germs float through the air from toilet flushing. Ugh. What disgusting beasts we all are!
Sorry if someone has posted this already but I just had to share this article about a lovely family who adopted an entire family of siblings and do it all on one income.

There is some guy co-hosting, don't know who he is.
I still don't understand why those kids have to brush their teeth in the damn kitchen. With all the bathrooms in that house why can't they use one to brush teeth. It just strikes me as VERY odd.

Yeah, and correct me if I'm wrong, butdidn't she blog something about washing bed linens and towels every 2-3 weeks?
yet she reamed out a volunteer for washing their hands in the kitchen instead of the bathroom?? Soap is effing soap you dink! I agree with the posts about her being "more" than you're run of the mill narc. Maybe she WAS specially chosen by God.

I'm still reeling over the fact that the sheeple immediately swooped in to tell the tweeting teens not to engage in hearsay and to not be bullies. What they really meant was please don't bring forward anymore reports of her bad behavior. The horrible info coming out about Kate is so fast and furious, they don't have enough fingers to stick in dams or hoses to put all the fires out.
However.... if someone hypothetically tweeted that they heard Jon yelled at some kids trying to sell a raffle ticket at a game, the sheeple would swoop in and encourage the tweeter to tell more, please engage in more hearsay and don't leave anything out. If it was Jon behaving like an ass, bullying him would be most encouraged. Then they would all cluck, crow and bleat about it.

If you want someone to keep the kids alive and run the house then combine them into one. If you want someone who will actually be there for your children, be attentive, and make sure they are getting what they need, make a DIFFERENCE for them, please have the respect to not combine such things.
*********************************
Millions of people manage to run their own households AND be attentive parents without assistance from either a nanny or a housekeeper. I don't understand why nannies can't do both, as long as they are compensated accordingly.

I agree Sam, but you're usually dealing with a "regular size" house, not a sprawling mansion on 26 acres of property. That's like saying the Queen should be able to manage because millions of other people do it. LOL

I swear she just makes this stuff up to make life miserable for as many people as possible. All these stupid rules, but they don't apply to her.
====
That's exactly what it is. She takes some sick pleasure in bullying everyone. Besides, how would she know if the nanny set the grocery bags or her purse on the counter if Herr Kate wasn't home? Does she have hidden cameras in the kitchen?
And the part about having meltdowns about her knives and improper use is laughable. She has no knife skills whatsoever.
..they wear clothes till they have visible stains...change sheets every two weeks, towels once a week?
The nanny manual proves how stingy Kate is when it comes to the kids. She obviously does not hire trained nannies from an agency. An agency would never allow their nannies to take on such chores and frankly, an experienced nanny would have every right to be insulted by such demands, particularly something as stinky as cleaning out a chicken coop. Kate goes for the young girls or foreigners, the ones that won't question.
So the Gator? Looks like a generous gift, right? Strictly for Kate to force the kids and/or nanny to do chores more quickly.
Well lookie here. She's put more than 3 raspberries on the plate!

Oh my! I was reading comments on this site. I didn't think to much of this comment until the !!!! jumped out of me. I looked at other comments on this site and other sites to make sure it was rare to write like this. HELLO KATE!!!! I can't say for sure because I have no proof but it made me think a BIG hummmmmm! How funny, yet predictable is this comment.
Admin, if it was wrong of me to copy and paste this from another site, go ahead and not let it go through. My feelings wont be hurt. Thanks.
From the NE article:
In a section titles "Pet Peeves," Kate outlined even more tough-to-obey rules. "Please do not place purses, grocery bags...on the kitchen counters," she demanded. "All of those things may be placed on the floor! I absolutely freak out!"
WTF - She lets the damn bird walk all over the counter and even has a perch for him there.
-------
This reminds me of my sister. She is a strict vegetarian, and does not allow her husband to have any meat products in the house, upon penalty of severeness. She also will not shop at any grocery chains, and buys her food from a local co-op and farmer's markets. She only where's loathes made in the USA, from unionized shops. Blah, blah, blah--we all know someone like this. Anyway, although her husband can't have meat in the house, her dogs feast on marrow bones. Pigs ears and bully sticks. She has no problem with restricting her husband and, at the same time, indulging her dogs.
My daughter was shopping at one of the forbidden chain stores and ran into my brother-in-law there, loading up his cart with meet. My sister was out of town, and he asked them not to they'll them that they saw him there, or what he bought. That's what happens when someone so interferes in someone else's right to live his own life on his terms--it produces guilt and shame, lying and keeping secrets.
I understand why Kate is a born-again animal lover. She has discovered the joy of exercising absolute control over every aspect of another being's existence, and gets undying devotion in return. Exactly what she expects from everyone in her life, who, of course, always fall short. How could they not?
Beat a rug in the kitchen when she was making that Grandma's Soup?
WTHeck is wrong with her!
Maybe she is still waiting for the plastics company to send her the little snap covers for the toothbrushes. Tightwadded W.
Look who is chasing 2 of the kids.

Someone must have their abacus upside down cause ratings certainly weren't impressive for the 1st and they went down considerably for the 2nd. LOL I know, I know - consider the source.
@CandyDishes
@RealZiggyFlo @Kateplusmy8 @TLC Good post! I think RoHo's plan backfired-it boosted ratings. You know he watched, lusting & fantasizing.
Speaking of nannies who are also asked to do some light housekeeping, etc. - there is a story out of Upland, CA about a couple that hired a 64-year old woman to be nanny for their 3 children, as well as apprently do some housekeeping, perhaps grocery shopping and meal prep as well. Don't have all the details but one of the compensations was that she had a room in the home - she was a live in. Shortly after this arrangement began, the woman stopped doing work around the home, indicating she was physically unable to do so, due to a medical condition (which clearly she did not disclose prior to employment). The couple said, we're sorry, but we really need someone who can also do housework, etc., so would you please sign this letter that terminates our agreement. She refused, saying they could not make her do so, and remained living in the house. Because of the special circumstances, the police cannot physically remove her. The couple must go through a legal process that could take months.
Apparently, she voluntarily did leave the home recently, but all her stuff is still there, and people have seen her driving by.
Crazy!
Formerly duped: I think it's gross & disgusting to even brush teeth in the kitchen, I don't care if you have a separate sink for it. That house has 4 bathrooms, what's wrong with them? Kate does not trust her kids in any form or manner, she is a control freak. Wait, the kids are getting older. LOL I hope they give you all the hell you deserve. That will be true karma.
Mrs Malaprop said...
Why does she feel it necessary to include "I will freak out!" in her instruction manual? It's not enough to say "Please don't place purses and grocery bags on the counter."? I'm just the type of person who would totally screw with those instructions just because you've threatened me about freaking out. Sort of like Minny's Chocolate Pie. Bwahahaha
-------------
It has been proven that phrasing things in the negative can produce the opposite effect, because the brain will not reliably remember the "don't" part. As a matter of fact, it may actually program others to do the unwanted behavior. Therefore, especially with children, but also with adults, it is better to say what you want instead of what you don't want. For example, it would be more effective to say that the counters should be kept clear of anything that is not directly related to food prep, including grocery bags and purses. Of course, that is not as much fun as ordering people around and would take way too much time, she is too busy for politeness, respect and common courtesy.
I wonder what exactly she hollered at those girls selling lacrosse tickets. I think it is horrible to really, really embarrass C like this. Then someone says she was bummed that she was not going to the game because she was there and is mean.
This is so unfair to kids that want to go to the game but don't even want to see her or even hear her. I have ran into people like that at my kids games and you avoid them like the plague. One idiot man behind me and my mother was threatening a woman for something and my mother turned around and told her to go get a policeman and have him arrested for harassment.
Maybe the school could do something about it. How about banning her from the games. At practice, only drop off and pick ups.
What is kate trying to do? Embarrass C so bad that she will want to quit so kate will not have to go to anymore practices or games?
Kate, you need to do the right thing. You have milked these kids social, home and no friends lives for years. Give them just a couple of years of their childhood while they still have it! You just need to go ahead and sign your parental rights over to Jon now. You don't have a maternal bone in your toxic body. You have physically abused, mentally abused, embarrassed your kids enough! Enough is Enough!

How do you clean a toothbrush? Shouldn't each person just rinse their own brush thoroughly after each use then throw it out after a few months? I wouldn't want to clean someone else's toothbrush, yuck!
*******
I think dentists recommend that you replace your toothbrush every 6 months or so. That's what we do - rinse after every use and replace right around our next cleaning appointment, since those are usually spaced every six months.
I confess that I use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth, after watching an episode of Myth Busters and learning how much splash back there can be from a toilet. I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink? (Before guests come over, all tooth-brushing implements are tucked away in the bathroom cabinet)
In case you've lost your TFW to English translator, allow me:
"Second breakfast" means, "Ignore what I wrote in that manual -
I don't underfeed my kids!"
TLC stinks said... 39
The nanny manual proves how stingy Kate is when it comes to the kids. She obviously does not hire trained nannies from an agency. An agency would never allow their nannies to take on such chores and frankly, an experienced nanny would have every right to be insulted by such demands, particularly something as stinky as cleaning out a chicken coop. Kate goes for the young girls or foreigners, the ones that won't question.
&&&&&&&&&&
You're right, TLC. Robert mentioned this in the first book, Kate avoids professional nannies from agencies for just those reasons you described. She wants to combine a nanny/house caretaker/maid for one salary, no agency would allow that.
Besides, how would she know if the nanny set the grocery bags or her purse on the counter if Herr Kate wasn't home?
========
You train your kids to tattle. Inspector Gadget anyone?
Please don't all jump on me but as a Jersey Shore girl (4 blocks from the beach) we didn't wash our suits daily. Sure we rinsed them and put them on the clothesline to dry but didn't "wash" them. Beach towels? Hang them up when you get home and you're good to go.
I paused on some of the chore lists, which TLC lovingly caressed with the camera, during Part II. Her lists for the kids are very detailed and absolutely ridiculous. To clean the stainless steel each day (???), use four squirts of Windex and one paper towel. On the chicken checklist, she actually has yes and no columns. Filled the water dish? Yes or no. Filled the feed dish? Yes or no. Was the water frozen? Yes or no. And on and on. I mean, really? What happens if you use five squirts of Windex, or only three? And she says the chickens are solely so the boys can have manly chores. Why should they have to care for 50 little creatures just so they have manly chores?
She reminds me so much of my mother. She never lifted a finger at home, except for cooking. I mean, she did nothing. She went grocery shopping and she made dinner each night and that was it. But she worked 40 hours a week too.
Millicent -- I read an article about that couple and the "I shall not be moved" nanny yesterday. There's a little bit more to the story. Apparently, the couple advertised on Craig's list for a nanny (!!) and hired this woman, who was homeless and had been for 9 years! She'd lived in a shelter for a while and when the shelter banned her she lived in her car. Really makes me think the couple in question were trying to cheap out child care and didn't bother to do much, if any, screening.
The reports of TFMJG yelling at the girls selling raffle tickets to support Cara's lacrosse team just back up Mady's comment that the kids' friends are afraid of her.

++++++++++++
Don't jump on me, either! We have a house on the beach and we never wash our suits after each wearing. We rinse them in the outside shower and hang them up; ditto with the beach towels. Shake them out, rinse them and hang them out to dry. I can't imagine all of the laundry I would have if I washed everything after each wearing, especially if we go to the beach several times a day.
Besides, how would she know if the nanny set the grocery bags or her purse on the counter if Herr Kate wasn't home? Does she have hidden cameras in the kitchen?
*********
Wouldn't put it past her Auntie Anne. Oh I would love to know if that nanny (or any of the others) took some sweet revenge on her. Spit in her coffee, box of wine, had the dog drink from her cup, used her toothbrush to clean the toilet, floors...etc etc...
you know? Harmless yet VERY satisfying shit!
Maybe the school could do something about it. How about banning her from the games. At practice, only drop off and pick ups.
Ban her for what? Yelling at the games? The school is not going to ban a parent from the games. You just can't go around banning Kate because she's not liked by some, and you can't forbid her to attend her children's games or keep her out of school events.
Sam, most people live in reasonable sized houses and don't have a celebrity sized schedule. In that case it may be appropriate to ask the nanny to do a little cleaning up.
The house I nannied in is almost 7,000 square feet. The schedule and needs the family had were demanding. The phone rang five times an hour. There simply would not be enough hours in the day to maintain the house, the schedule and watch the children. Half the time I was out with the children at games, play dates etc. It would be completely inappropriate and impossible to ask a nanny to also play housekeeper and assistant. No one could do that. In that situation they either had to downsize or, as they chose rightly and appropriately, hire a housekeeper and assistant aside from the nanny. It's unreasonable to dump all that on the nanny and my agency stood by that and even my narcissist accepted that.
We have individual paper cups in the bathroom and put a shot of original Listerine in them and after brushing and rinsing the toothbrush we store it bristle side down in the Listerine. After the next brushing you can rinse with the Listerine or dump it (I dump because I like TheraBreath mouthwash) throw out the cup and replace with fresh cup and Listerine.
Lukebandit - they can't ban TFW from going to the games because she's a bitch. I really can't understand why she doesn't put on her sweetness and light mask when at games. If she did, when negative stories came out about her the other parents would say "that's not the Kate we know". Instead they say, "Yup, that's the Kate we know".

*************************************************
Bitch please! Do you really think a tiny serving of egg custard (which I bet you had nothing to do with making) and some berries sells you as a good mom?
Because there's nothing like a serving of custard and a few berries to heal the wounds of getting beaten and terrorized by your own mother on a regular basis, huh kids?
Love how it's their "second breakfast", addressing the commentary of how little she feeds those kids no doubt. Next it'll be tweets showing what they had for "elevensies". (LoTR reference)
The fact is that even at deflection Kate is a big fail. She even tries to prove her kids happiness by touting what a great mom SHE is. MY kids are happy because I'M a GREAT MOM. See, huh, see...
Nice try Kate. Anybody falling for that is either being paid to or is so far up your ass they can't see at all.
I think 2nd breakfast emphasizes that she doesn't feed them enough at the FIRST breakfast. A little snack may be needed aftera good breakfast, but not a whole other meal before lunch. By her own stupidity she makes it double the work. Make enough the first time.
Wouldn't it be funny to see Michelle scream HHEELLLOOO..
__
Or roll her eye saying how cold is she when the kids are having fun.
Agree Bitchy. A couple trying to be cheap by not going through an agency or even a reputable publication. I have no sympathy for this. Proper screening would have prevented the situation in the first place and given a nice girl a good job for fair compensation. You get what you pay for. If you want to hire dirt cheap nannies expect dirt cheap results. If you care about your children and their safety pony up and go through reputable channels.
Vanessa: about a week or two before the first special: one of the rags had a article about, celebrity nannys and hire help, and they included Kate, and the article said about Kate that she has cameras all over the house to spy on nannys, hired help and the kids. She listened into what the nannys said and what the kids say, and she listened in her bedroom.
Agree she would be blacklisted from most agencies for this treatment. They wouldn't want the liability. Something happens to the kids while the nanny is upstairs cleaning and their insurance will go through the roof. They will absolutely blacklist you and they'll do it to celebrities. Narcissist was on at least two black lists due to long hours and poor treatment and out of control kids who were biters. (They did MUCH better with agencies once the kids were older and a couple good nannies got them in line) After they get a couple failed placements they blacklist you, you're done. These agencies are there just as much to protect the nannies as they are the clients.
Kate's "money saving" laundry tips were as gross as her filthy feet on the ottoman!
Clothes not washed until visibly soiled.
Never uses hot water. Holy e coli, Batman.
Bed sheets get washed every few weeks.
Gross.
You have to check out twitter...the funniest exchange is going on between Milo and that Ziggy freak....they almost sound like their going to have a nervous breakdown. They're claiming that Robert wants and lusts after Kate...and that's the reasoning behind the book...his dream of Kate is not being fulfilled....too funny.,,They finally came up with a justification that makes sense to THEM....Oh Lord
Why do i think she grifted some high end name brand super deluxe knives? All great chefs own a set , am I right? She has a gourmet kitchen i would die for, but you know what? I'd go toe to flintstone toe with her
any time anywhere in a cooking competiton, even using my mediocre 25 yr old kitchen
"I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink?" (52)
Although I do brush my teeth in my bathroom, I must admit that , like Millicent, I really don't see the problem with using the kitchen sink for that.
Unless one puts directly in the dishwasher every single utensil used during a meal, and that none of those utensils never ever comes in contact with or near the sink, I would guess that the possible contamination from "mouth germs" from a toothbrush is about the same than "mouth germs" from a spoon or a fork that was used for eating.
I'm also with NJ Gal, here, re washing your bathing suit every day: I , too, was raised on the shore and to us, the salt water and iodine from the sea was considered a good enough combination to keep our bathing suit relatively germs free for a few days without washing.
And the part about having meltdowns about her knives and improper use is laughable. She has no knife skills whatsoever.
********
Kate's knife skills are very mediocre.
Hey, look, that's fine! But don't tell me your some whiz in the kitchen.
I've seen Kate with a knife and she isn't impressive.
Home cooks who invest heavily in their knives don't worry about anyone misusing them, because they are not allowed to use them- too sharp.
I don't know what kind of knives Kate's huge white set are, but I don't think they're forged by a 5th generation knifemaker in Japan ;-)
It's a new week. The rabid sheeple have decided to attack Robert, bordering on libel with some of their tweets today, imo. Since they can't refute the FACTS in the book, they've decided to attack the messenger, even 'analyzing' a photo. LMAO

5. The down position of the tail is natural to a german shepherd.
6. Feet spread apart means nothing. If anything it means he's comfy and loving the attention. My dogs all balanced themselves like that when they were really into the massage they were getting.

Just for once I'd like to see her tweet that she bought custard at the local farmers market and it was excellent, and the kids loved it.
Glad the raspberries were fresh. She had to mention that. Nothing like serving your kids moldy raspberries.
Terri said...
I still don't understand why those kids have to brush their teeth in the damn kitchen. With all the bathrooms in that house why can't they use one to brush teeth. It just strikes me as VERY odd.
I agree - especially at age 10 they should be able to be trusted to brush properly. I think it's just another facet of TFW's control. She and Jon started brushing for them and IIRC she was far less than gentle. She's also lazy so she probably doesn't want to walk to the bathroom to check on them. She wants to watch to make sure they're brushing for as long as she dictates and with the technique she's mandated.

This is a bizarre story and I understand child care is pricey, but it you can't do it safely, then I can't see doing it. I mean, figure *something* else out, not matter what sacrifices you must make.
Around me, I guess you can get licensed to have child care in your home. One house just makes me smh when I walk the neighborhood with my dog.
It's a largeish ;-) newer home with a 2-car garage, and this garage (at the end of a short driveway) is used as part of the daycare.
WTF?
The garage door is up, there's large area rugs, and a looooong gate/low fence structure to keep the kids in.
I can't imagine dropping my kid off there- I'd be sweating bullets that someone, anyone, could snatch one of them.
My dogs are better protected at their kennel in the country.
Again, smh.
Also, Craig's list?
I'm afraid to buy or sell an object on that site, let alone find child care!

Oh for pete's sake -- maybe the State ought to check on these parents, because to me, that's negligent parenting at the very least. Who the heck does that? And many homeless people have mental issues, which is often a large factor in why they are homeless. I cannot imagine risking my child's life to save a few bucks!
Sounds like karma came around and bit these two idiots. Too bad their children had to deal with the mess also.
I had a wonderful friend who passed a number of years ago. She was a widow when I knew her, and was the kindest, sweetest lady. When her husband was very sick and in the hospital, she got to know his doctor quite well. Shortly after he passed away, the doctor called her and begged her to please come be a caregiver for he and his wife's 3 children. He had seen first hand how devoted she was to her husband and what a positive, kind spirit she had. She refused at first but he kept pleading with her and talked her into it. She enjoyed working for this couple very much - they treated her very well, and she loved the children and they loved her. They gave her a cruise as a Christmas present one year; bought her a new car another time.

I don't know what happened with this "yelling" incident, and have seen pics of Kate posing with people where she looks just fine, so I don't know-maybe this is not usual for her to act poorly at Cara's games.
Re: TFW's affection for the bird.
I wonder if it has anything to do w/Zorro being completely dependent on TFW. Despite her constant complaining, I think she was fond of her infant children being so dependent and needing her for everything. Zorro will always need her. She can pet it and coo to it (until it bites her, that is) just like she did with her newborns. I get a feeling the emotional gratification she receives cuddling with the bird is similar to what she feels holding infants.
Whatever happened to Nanny Judy- the one the kids loved and who was reported to be amazing with them?

It wasn't a school event it was a club team. Interestingly the club soccer teams around here have a rule against even cheering during the game. You have to MAKE the team. It's a club...they can kick out whoever they want.

Tail just hanging (not tucked between legs) could mean dog is relaxed. Most dogs stand with their front legs apart, just a normal stance. The dog is not pulling backward and he has his face right up against the human. The dog's ears don't appear to be laying down (flat to the head) to me. I don't see next hing wrong with the position of the collar either and i don't see him holding the dog by the collar against his will. Look a little closer, on hand on side of dog's face and the other on top of his head. I just don't see the terrified dog that she sees in this picture.

She listened into what the nannys said and what the kids say, and she listened in her bedroom.

@CandyDishes
@RealZiggyFlo @Kateplusmy8 @TLC Good post! I think RoHo's plan backfired-it boosted ratings. You know he watched, lusting & fantasizing.
&&&&&&&&
Do they actually believe what they tweet, or do they just throw this stuff out thinking that most of the sheeple are as dumb as they are? If the ratings were down on the second part, how could anyone with any amount of intelligence whatsoever say that his book boosted ratings?
Unless this person was acknowledging that if not for Robert's book, the ratings for the second part would have been much lower than they already were. In that case, if you were a fan, how stupid would you have to be to even suggest that?
I hate to defend Kate but the story about her yelling at the girls selling raffle tickets for the lacrosse team doesn't ring true to me. Why would Kate yell at someone that was doing something that would help her daughter's own team? However; I do think the egg custard pic ( which looked gross) was posted to show everyone that she does not underfeed her children. I expect to see Shoka pics or a blog post from Shoka very soon.
I don't want to stir up the great swimsuit debacle again but I still say no to repeated wearings inbetween washings. I've seen too many hospitalizations since becoming a nurse and it's absolutely frightening how easily girls get serious u.t.i. that turn into life threatening kidney infections. We also need to drastically reduce the amount of antibiotics being prescribed before they stop working all together. It's just not worth the risk i.m.o..
I learned during one of my microbiology classes that if you mix up a spray bottle with 10% bleach 90% water, spray it on your counters and leave it there for thirty seconds, it kills everything. Our instructor went ballistic if this wasn't done before anyone sat down. I now do it to my own counters before preparing food.

I recall seeing in the infamous "no fun things promo" on the wall a security motion sensor. It would be easy to also have motion activated cameras in that house plus listening devices (like nanny cams). I totally believe she monitors everything (like big brother) from her bedroom. It makes sense Steve, Mr. Security Man, had the equipment installed. Totally sick to spy on people like that. Perhaps this is why she goes through nannies all the time and the kids are spied on to get punished.
Njay 41,
In addition to the !!! I noticed how bad the writer's grammar was (e.g. Me and my girls) and the capital letters when it should be lower case.
I think people should just assume that there's cctv in homes that employ nannies, nurses etc.. I oversaw a couple of home healthcare cases where one patient had baby monitors (hidden) all over the room and the other had video cams and signs posted. I can't say I blame people but someone like TFW would be a nightmare all around to work for and I can't imagine her being able to rewind my day frame by frame and critically review every minute. I can't believe anyone stayed in her employment for very long. I know RH said Judy was there a long time. Bless her heart. I wouldn't have lasted a week.

I confess that I use the kitchen sink to brush my teeth, after watching an episode of Myth Busters and learning how much splash back there can be from a toilet. I'm not sure why it would be grosser to brush one's teeth at a kitchen sink than a bathroom sink? (Before guests come over, all tooth-brushing implements are tucked away in the bathroom cabinet)

I always put the seat down before flushing.

Good idea! But in a shared bathroom situation, you cannot know for sure what others might or might not do :)
I'm sorry- I missed the viewing numbers for Part 2. Can anyone post them or a link?
Thanks!
I do wash my swimsuit after each use, but that's because I don't swim often. I'd say if you do swim daily but don't wash your suit daily --- and have had no problems -- then you're fine. If on the other hand, a person was experiencing problems, rashes or otherwise, then maybe they might want to consider washing after each use. We are all individual and our bodies do react differently.
It's one thing to have a nanny cam strictly to make sure the nanny is not abusing your child, etc but it's another thing to use it to spy and dole out punishment.
Question: was both Jon & Kate at Cara game? If they were, then maybe kate did yell at the girls selling tickets, to get Jon's attention, and/or to start a fight with him. After all, she did put the kids on TV, even though he is against it, and her belief that Jon is going to make money with Robert's book.
Or, Kate did that to get attention to herself. You know, look who's here, it's me Kate Gosselin, star of TLC's TV special Kate + 8. I'm sooo important!, You have a celeb here!
Just a thought!

According to Robert, Kate fired her because she remained friends with Jon after the divorce, despite her having been friends with Jon before she even became a nanny.
Hmmm. Was that necklace from Tiffany's a birthday gift from Stevie. He was there in NYC for CA filming during her birthday.
I have to admit some of the sheeple are good for a laugh today. This one apparently thinks that the testimonial from Figure8 on Itzaparty's web page was faked. You have to look at the picture to see how she illogically explains this. Her explanation is in the gray area above the screen shot of the testimonial. She apparently thinks that the previous comment dated 5/20 was in response to the Figure8 testimonial.

It totally rings true to me. The guy who tweeted it has a sister who plays on the team and got hurt at the tourney apparently. Another girl took a selfie and she is one of the ones that tweeted with the guy. The girl has a lanco elite shirt on, and their website said they had a tournament at Lehigh that weekend. There are other kids who were included in tweets who also said TFW is mean, etc.
I'm sure she feels she paid the money for C to join the team, she doesn't need to buy a raffle ticket to defer any costs because she's rolling in money and it doesn't matter to her how much it costs.
I get the knife thing. It's a serious safety hazard to put sharp knives in a dishwasher or sink with water. You can't always see what you're grabbing.
But once again, she mangles the message.
PJ
According to Robert's book, TFMJG fired Judy because she remained friends with Jon after the divorce. Never mind that she'd been friends with Jon for a long time and that Jon is the one who hired her. Thus again proving that TFMJG is a vindictive witch who hates her ex more than she loves her children.
I know that they can't ban her from the games. It just makes me ill to think she thinks she can go out in public, treat anyone or anybody, including children and act like a jack@, scream, holler on a dime.
She needs an intervention.
If she is at a game and is cheering on C's team like a normal person would do, that is fine. But to holler at some girls selling raffle tickets at a game is just wrong. What if the girls parents were there and they went and told them. How would they react?
She is going to holler at the wrong person or someone's kid one of these days.
Forget all the negativity and bring back this family to us!! Haters will always be haters and Lovers will always be lovers!! We love the show!!!!! I especially love Kate and love how she does what she needs to for her kids!!!
---------------
Sorry that I'm repeating myself but everytime I think of what Kate wrote, pretending to be a grandma of 3, just CRACKS ME UP. I mean, the !!!! are such a give-a-way and what she says about haters and how she loves Kate, ahh understatement, for what she does for her kids.
Really, people here have said that kate and her fans do this type of thing but I never saw it for myself. It's just too funny. No question it's her.

""Well lookie here. She's put more than 3 raspberries on the plate!''

BUT......she only put more raspberries on the plate so she can take most away. After all, FOOD is ''currency'' for Jon's children!! !!!!!!
That custard was for Kate. It was made by whoever is her professional chef these days. There was only ever one serving for her and none for the kids. IMO.
I have been following the Nanny Squatter as the media calls her now since it started. The dad works full time, electric something, the mom homeschools, and wanted to start a home business. 2 boys and a baby. Realizing they needed help, they put an ad on Craig's list. A friend of the NS said, hey look on Craig's list and see if you can find something. And the rest is history.
The parents all they had to do is go to a website that does background checks and they would of easily found all of the many lawsuits this woman has filed against her family, everybody. She has filed so many in Southern CA that now when she files she has to pay a certain fee because she is so lawsuit happy.
The dad was upset because he said he has to go to work and my wife and children are here and the squatter just TOWERS over my wife. The lady looks happy with the picture in the kitchen, but on video when they handed her the eviction notice she looked bad, mentally bad. Day and night.
When I was keeping E, her mom told me, I just want you to take care of E. I will take care of everything else. She had so much on her plate as I did at my house. E would sleep for 1 or 2 hours and I would keep the laundry going and other things.
Has kate even thought that maybe the nannies that were underpaid, treated bad might get together and file a lawsuit on her for mental anguish and bad working conditions?
Wow. Sweet payback to the old hack. Poor Laverne and Shirley. Another possible future phone call.
I didn't watch the special,[too sad], but would someone tell me who the sponsors were? I would like to write to them. Ty
Funny animal stories: we had a small dog that loved to pull stuffing out of any stuffed animal, so I got her a long fabric snake with no stuffing, but squeakers. She loved that snake, would crew on it for hours trying to get the squeakers out. We also had a big old lazy black cat, who was disdainful of everyone else in the house. In the mornings, I started to notice that snake toy was never where we left it. One night I heard meowing and went downstairs quietly. There was Mr. Disdainful Black Cat, with the snake toy, under the kitchen table. pouncing on it, like it was prey. Making all these undignified maowr sounds. When he realized I was watching him, he dropped the snake and turned around as if to say ” snake? What snake? I'm certainly not playing with a DOG toy, you must be imagining things!”
Funniest thing, we had to sneak to catch him with the toy. He played with it until he died.
Personally, I think she gets off on control. She loves making others jump through hoops. And she has no empathy at all. 18
This is from the link to the google book I posted previously. The ten top characteristics of a Control Freak:

Obsessive
Perfectionistic

First, this is in NO way a defense of TFW.
As an avid cook I also have "knife and pan rules". But I also consider needing the rules because I have a hubby that reheats everything on "10" and has ruined more of my pans/skillets than I can count. When he ruined my small wok that I had spent months carefully seasoning, I made the rules & created his own cabinet section with the pots & pans he can use. He had a habit of using my good knives and leaving them covered in whatever he cut up & tossed into the sink. So know there is a knife block filled with "hubby approved" knives (ie: less expensive/not my good knives).
The closest to "kate behavior" I ever came to was when I got up and found my small wok burned to a crisp and left in the sink filled with soapy water. I did have to blame myself at the same time, because I'm the one who showed him that he could reheat his potatoes/veggies in the wok. Remember, my hubby works nights. I cook his "dinner" before I got to bed each night & he reheats it & makes himself a salad each morning when he gets home & I'm still asleep. So I can't just ban him from the kitchen. I didn't have to lose my mind on him or go postal over it. That afternoon, I rearranged a cabinet, put together a knife block for him & then told him "this is your pan cabinet & here is your knife block. Unless you want to wash your dishes immediately after eating, use the pans in this cabinet & use these knives". Haven't had a problem since.
we were laughing yesterday because he was helping me prep the garden stuff for the freezer & he was getting to use my new cutting board & one of the good knives. He was all "look at me being all special and using the GOOD kitchen stuff". And yes, he knew immediately that he wasn't going to be allowed to use the new cutting board because he forgets & will put meat on a wooden board, but he was impressed that I found a good heavy duty wooden board for under $10 (hint: Home Despot wood department). This morning when I got up, he told me that he had put another coat of mineral oil & beeswax on it for me, but that he didn't use it, he used the plastic one.
Self serving brag moment: yesterday I put up in the freezer (all fresh from the garden & picked yesterday) 4 quart bags of sugar snap peas, 9 quart bags of green beans cooked w/ bacon, onions & garlic, 7 quart bags of squash cooked with bacon, onions, jalapenos & brown sugar, and a gallon of icebox pickles (cukes, onions, peppers, garlic cloves in apple cider vinegar). To prep for what I knew was coming yesterday, on Saturday I made 4 pans of red & green chili enchiladas....from scratch. As in, I made the red sauce and green chili sauce from scratch. I learned how to make them from my step gramma, who was from Old Mexico, before she passed away. when Kate can make something like that from scratch, then I might be impressed with her cooking skills. Until then, she's just mediocre in the kitchen in my opinion.

I also would wash a suit if the person stays in it to sunbath, play etc. for a long period of time. Sweating in a swimsuit all day as Kelly said can definitely lead to UTIs and other bacteria collecting.

I totally believe Kate would be insulting or even raise her voice to ANYONE who DARED to approach her. Another reason for having Steve around. She is not capable of being gracious.
I bet Kate fired Judy because she thought (paranoid) that Judy would be a snitch to Jon. Is Judy a local person?
So are you guys saying that Kate was alone at the game (no tups) because tups were with Jon, therefore the tweet about Alexis falling asleep next to her was a lie?

And the part about having meltdowns about her knives and improper use is laughable. She has no knife skills whatsoever.

Hey, look, that's fine! But don't tell me your some whiz in the kitchen.
I've seen Kate with a knife and she isn't impressive.
Home cooks who invest heavily in their knives don't worry about anyone misusing them, because they are not allowed to use them- too sharp.
I don't know what kind of knives Kate's huge white set are, but I don't think they're forged by a 5th generation knifemaker in Japan ;-)
&&&&&&&&&&&
Lol! I know Kate had grifted some Cutco knives early on. The Cutco man had an ad on their website which eventually he had to pay for (Like Em Tanner) There was an email exchange between Kate and Jon in the book where Kate was irritated with the Cutco guy told Jon to "just get rid of him."
This is a cute dog video sent to me this morning.
Very short....
Hilarious.... I felt sorry for Cooper...for about 2 seconds ....

JORDAN SWAIM
Associate Producer
If you ask Jordan what her favorite hobby is, you’re sure to get a very quick response:
Television.
Whether it’s an epic series like LOST or a drama-filled episode of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, she could talk your ear off about every character, plot point, and major event for hours on end.
It’s because of her passion for television that Jordan chose to major in Media Studies and Production at UNC-Chapel Hill. While there, she spent most of her time writing, editing, and producing for Student TV and landed an internship at Figure 8 in the summer of 2009.
Jordan knew she had found the perfect job after working on hit shows like Kate Plus 8 and 19 Kids & Counting. It wasn’t long before her determination, attention to detail, and an odd love for deliverables got her hired full-time at Figure 8 in 2012.
When she’s not buried deep in Duggar deliverables, Jordan enjoys eating Taco Bell, playing board games, and of course, watching TV.

Yep I totally agree. I doubt if Kate even knows how to properly put an edge on those knives and I have a sneaking suspicion she doesn't even use them.
And yes with her knife skills she really should still be using a butter knife. She wouldn't want to nip the end off any of those disgusting french talons.
This afternoon, on the Family Channel, there is a program called "Dog With
A Blog". It has been on for a long, long time. Copy much kreider?? And no, sheeple, Family Channel Did Not copy from her!
I see some of the sheeple are all excited about the marathon on Wednesday. I just checked out the episodes and was pleased to see that the episodes are all JON & kate plus 8, and will show Jon at his most loving father/caretaker best, and TCFW in all her nasty glory.
I'm getting such a kick out of TLC focusing on episodes that flatter Jon and expose that nutty WOS!
Completely and utterly OT.
Has anyone else been enjoying the daily google doodles during the World Cup?
I just read the National Enquirer article while waiting for my watch battery to be replaced at the drugstore. It WAS a nanny who spilled it, and she said Kate was condescending and rude. She talked about how the NANNY took care of the chickens, to include cleaning the house, letting them out, putting them in, collecting/washing/labeling eggs. Yes, labeling eggs. They must be labeled! Kate had a rule of no clutter on the floor and the lady stopped bringing a purse to work because it was considered clutter on the floor. So you can't put your purse or grocery bags on the counter, and nothing is allowed on the floor. Where are you supposed to PUT these things? It doesn't look like screen shots, but emails, for those who won't see it. Reading it, it's clear Kate makes it impossible to please her, and I think she gets her jollies pushing people to see how far they will go before they break, and then she cries about how everyone leaves her. She is a self-fulfilling prophecy. She expects them to leave and they do - because of HER.
Really, you are expecting someone to cook, clean, babysit, take care of animals, and be Inspector Gadget for Jon, and your clutter of one purse on the floor is unacceptable. That is absurd.

Ah, yes. A 20 something, recent college grad who loves tv, working as a production assistant for the Duggar and Gosselin families. I can see TFW 'bonding' with her and the twins. SMH
GKD said . . . 132
"...(hint: Home Despot wood department)."
_______________________
GKD, this might be one of the most glorious typos ever! The Home Despot would be the perfect name for a new show for Kate!!
Question: was both Jon & Kate at Cara game?
We know that TFW was at the game (pic and tweets), plus Cara obviously because she was playing. No mention of anyone else in attendance. As for Alexis - we know Jon had 6 of 8 children Friday night (per tweets plus pic of 3+) so it's assumed he had them for the full weekend. However TFW tweeted on Fri nite that A said something. So.... it's anyone's guess where A was when TFW tweeted.
Oh, BTW, I think the clipboards on the boys' chairs at the table are the daily chicken reports. I remember we wondered after spotting them on CWS.

Weren't some of those season one episodes even scrubbed a bit to paint Kate in a more flattering light?
Kate's knife set showed up during her kitchen remodel...it was talked about on this blog a few yrs ago.
Her Cutco set (I think she has TWO) are worth several thousand dollars...
I've had a set of these knives for years. Yes, they're nice, but there are many other knives that are of much better quality. They're quite durable and IMO, there's no reason for her to be so protective of them. I also don't find them to be so sharp that they'd be too dangerous for an adult to use. I think the instruction for the nanny to not use them was just another unrealistic control point for TFW.
Interestingly the club soccer teams around here have a rule against even cheering during the game.
That is interesting. I can't imagine going to one of my kids' games and not cheering for the team.

I've seen Kate with a knife and she isn't impressive.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if she actually put her own money out to buy those knives and that's why she's so hyper-anal about them. It stings her more when things she actually paid for need to be replaced, especially now that the gravy train is slowing.
I have never met a German Shepherd that you could hold and pet against their will. My brother trains K9 dogs for police departments and security and trust me Shoka is not afraid of Robert in that picture.
Yay Robert! I dunno Robert, Shoka did look like he was ready to bite your face off when he was giving you those slobbery wet doggie kisses! ;)
Thank you for taking these kooks head on. They think they can just make up wild stories and present it as truth.
Next can you address their claim that you are madly in love with Kate and lust for her? hahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!
All these rules that Kate has is simply a way for the employee to fail. No one can do anything as well as Kate, don't you know.
I remember the housekeeper episode where Kate hired a housekeeper from an agency. Kate had to move books and stretch way in the back of the shelf to find something wrong. She is all about find fault with someone/something so she can play the superior card.
And another thing. If she hired the housekeepers who were non-US citizens, did she take care of the green card? Many a politician has been caught in employing non-documented foreigners. Oh wait, Kate is above the law, this doesn't apply to her.
I'm sure she feels she paid the money for C to join the team, she doesn't need to buy a raffle ticket to defer any costs because she's rolling in money and it doesn't matter to her how much it costs.
______________________________
local, I agree. I can completely see her bitching at anyone who approached her to buy a raffle ticket. Robert wrote in his book about finding school fundraiser flyers/letters she had dumped (some unopened) in her trash. It completely fits her MO.
Funny how the uber truth teller has such confidence in her ability to read a dog's body language, and in the past has completely refuted a PhD's ability to read either her hero's or the kids' body language - a woman who has done it for decades as her JOB.

Yes, sparkle. I agree! It is so clear that Shoka was getting ready to viciously lick Robert to death! I can't believe there was no arrow in that photo pointing to Shoka's tongue - that weapon of mass destruction!
Cutch knives may cost several thousand dollars but they are pretty mediocre (to borrow a word) in the knife world. The husband got into kitchen knives over the last 2-3 years and we own some worth several hundred each and he is also possessive of their care because they are delicate and sharp as razors. In comparison, these are like Lamborghini knives and Cutco is a Ford Taurus...good, reliable, but nothing special and nothing to freak out over.

I have a couple Cutco knives given as wedding gifts, and they're functional but I don't use them for the heavy lifting.
They are the Amway of the knife world.
I hope that doesn't sound snobbish, but no chef or home cook who has decent knife skills pines away for a Cutco knife of any kind.
I brought a second knife set from when I was in school I sharpen my own and they're still good 5yrs after I graduated.
For kids to be driving Gators is nuts. They are simply too young. Out here in the West, people let their little kids drive around in ATVs. At least two or three times each summer, some young child is killed. It was tragic and sad recently when two grandparents took two grandchildren out to the mountains to ride around in the ATV. Grandpa somehow rolled the ATV. Both Grandparents were killed, Two little kids were hospitalized in critical condition. Why. Why can't people see the danger in these vehicles?

Those dumb azz sheeple just won't accept the fact that if Robert says he has PROOF/documentation he has it. SMDH The more they insist on challenging him, the more he's going to fight back. He said he has more and I believe him. I don't think TFW would be happy if they force him to use it to defend himself against their accusations.
&&&&&&&&&&
They are never going to live down their NO PICTURE NO PROOF declaration. Like, ever. I'm sure they are regretting the day they bleated it.
I read all of Roberts book last week on vacation and on the plane. It was interesting though it really droned on in the last third. I understood why it did, but man it took some effort to get through the tweets at times. It was a bit of a bore because he was very meticulous to document and not overreach in his conclusions. There was little interpretation and mostly documentation. The documentation was frightening enough without extrapolating conclusions.
I find the paparazzi stuff disturbing but it also clear it was courted on most occasions. Having read every word in this book, it's not Shakespeare but fairly well done. It's clear he writes better in short segments but the book was honestly better than I expected. It is also obvious he has zero romantic interest in Kate... This was a job that sucked him in and it was her behavior that encouraged him to continue.
I really think she is close to done now. Her kids are unemployable in entertainment and it is all her fault. Casting directors won't touch them because it means dealing with her and it's pretty well documented she is difficult. She has been largely unemployable since DWTS because it was clear how difficult she was...television is all about money and they cannot sink money into volatile, unreliable, diva talent. If you look at watch she has done since them, it is limited run lower caliber programs...CWS is a Dlist parade and CA is always a freak show of 'I thought that person was dead' talent.
Her problem is America just doesn't give a damn about her anymore and those who do are either appalled by her activities or are sycophants who probably need medication. It's hard to market yourself as a brand when the public thinks you are a buffoon,
Next can you address their claim that you are madly in love with Kate and lust for her? 174
Robert, please don't bother. Save your ammunition for issues that matter.
Why can't people see the danger in these vehicles? 184
Um, by definition, 1/2 the population is below average.
The sheeple used to make me mad, now they just fascinate me. How low will they go before they feel any kind of humiliation or embarrassment? The comment about RH and Shoka was just so ridiculous and desperate. Anyone looking at the picture, even if they didn't know the history behind all of this, would see a very happy dog.
Now that RH's book has come out and there is a nanny spilling her guts, perhaps more people will come forth to tell their stories. I think the flood gates may have been opened. I sure hope so.
OK, almost 1,000 comments in and I finally watched the carnival clip at the header of this thread. OMG, does that woman ever use a pronoun other than I? This show was supposed to be about the kids turning 10 - hardly, it's all about Kate. And that ridiculous carnival booth setup with a mere handful of kids milling around? More nonsense. I have never seen a more dissatisfied POS. If she had only known she would have to deal with fish, waving her hand dismissively. Guess this week all she can do is caress her interview chair and sigh deeply. It's over, way over now.
Rhymes with witch, I love those google doodles in honor of three World Cup!
If she had only known she would have to deal with fish, waving her hand dismissively
*******
Kate's utterly laser-focused rant about the fish was pure farce.
Mady was trying to crowbar a syllable in there to remind Kate that one of her children actually won a fish, and hells bells, if you don't want the potential of 6 additional fish to become fixtures in your house, perhaps you shouldn't make ping-pong fish bowls a game in your kids' f*cking carnival!

???????? I was making a joke, indicated by the long string of hahahas after my original comment. You removed those when you c&p my comment in your post. Why the jump?
Robert, please don't bother. Save your ammunition for issues that matter.
&&&
Yes please don't bother. They are desperate. They need to take a deep breath and quit while they're ahead. Let them look like the nuts that they are. That was one of the nuttiest thing I've ever seen from a sheep, really making a graphic out of analyzing a photo? You're not a fashion expert at US Weekly, lol. It's Kate f-ing Gosselin. Good lord who cares about defending such a thing?
Really. Anyone who would go so far as to make an entire graphic out of analyzing something so stupid does not deserve the attention.
Although I do kind of love that he schooled that with a series of pictures of the dogs having a blast running alongside the ATVs, and Nala playfully finding shade under his ATV. Egg meet face, even if it's not worth wasting an egg on that one. Ignore her.
Regarding the fans' accusation of Robert of (I can barely type
this with a straight face) desiring TFW, I can come to only
one reasonable explanation:
projection - the unconscious ascription of personal thought,
feeling or impulse to somebody else - especially a thought or
feeling considered undesirable
My humble opinion only.

Beautifully stated.
PJ
Victorinox Swiss Army makes a great chef's knife and it's only 40 bucks.
I think it's one of the few products on Amazon with almost 2,000 reviews and a perfect five stars.
Victorinox Forschner make excellent knives that are very reasonably priced.
I have a boning, bread and carving.
BTW- I also recently got a nikiri and LOVE it.
That's also the only M.O. they have, shoot the messenger.
They never actually address the allegations themselves. They only try to discredit the messenger in any desperate way they can. Look at it this way. Let's assume Robert is bad with dogs. Let's assume he is the worst guy in the world with dogs, doesn't have a CLUE. What the HELL does that have to do with the fact that Kate Gosselin is a child and animal abuser??? NOTHING. What don't they understand about this?
Remember when they insisted that Robert and I were working together because Robert once went with his family to an event at what may or may not have been a college I went to? lol. I guess they're not very engaged with their communities to know that college towns have events constantly at the college and that in any given year hundreds of thousands of people can pass through the campus and attend those events without ever having any contact with the students. And if they knew anything about law school they would know that nobody has time to attend campus events like it's a free for all much less collaborate with some random nobody from PA to bring down the sheeple's idol. You're studying constantly or eating or working. Idiots.
I've never even heard of this guy until the book and frankly I thought he was kind of odd and said so. As if I ever would have helped him out. In any case their smoking gun is usually ridiculous, delusional and creepy in their obsession with private people who happened to have mentioned they don't like Kate. WTF?
Does it ever occur to them they make Kate's position look weak when they so desperately cling to such silly accusations, like a dog licking someone's face and turning it into "animal abuse"? And let's make a graphic about it just in case I really didn't drive home the point that I'm a nut.
It's like all they do is highlight the fact that they got nothing. They don't see this. They don't get it. They're so DUMB.
T- Japanese knifes have a huge following.
Mine are German- Wusthof and Henckels- you can get them for less than $200 and it's a lifetime investment.
I actually still have a set of cheap farberware knives from college and every single one is still sharp, works well, and are much safer for inexperienced cooks like teens.
Nothing cuts an apple like a farberwear paring knife. It's just a good set and I don't care that it was, what, 36 bucks?
I took Kate's tweet about the egg custard, "second breakfast", and "#brunch" to mean that both she and the children slept in. And while I have no doubt that the twins (like most kids their age) did sleep in, I hope that the 10 year olds didn't have to wait until 11:30 for breakfast (or to come down stairs) and we're at least allowed to make themselves a bowl of cereal. Further, if she's trying to tweet pictures to compensate for the NE claims that she gives the kids small portions, then she should #1 take more appetizing pictures, and #2 actually feed her children larger portions. She was seen in both parts of the special feeding the children very small portions, including giving them only half an egg sandwich for breakfast, doling out kale chips in cupcake liners, and giving the children 1 sausage, one piece of toast, and a tablespoon of scrambled eggs for another breakfast.
Three more of BV's Twitter accounts were banned today. Karmaville, Cupidville,, Slingerville. Looks like Jimmy and Kate have fallen on hard times. Too bad, so sad.
I'm using the knives that were handed down to me from my grandmother. She used them during the 50s. Funny thing is that they do what they are supposed to do -- slice and chop, and they do it just fine.
I also use all of her cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens, turkey roasters, and although you can tell that they were used to cook so many holiday dinners, nothing tastes like a roast browned and cooked on the stove top in a heavy Dutch kettle.
Count me in for thinking the chef made that custard. It was just too neat, too appetizing. It was "plated." Nothing like what she usually makes.
The splash of raspberries all over it also just isn't Kate's style. She would put them on the side in a neat little pile or not think to pair with raspberries in the first place.
I also noticed she tweeted a platitude about "shit." Real classy for her young fans. And secondly, hey Kate, not every single whistleblower is out to "destroy other human beings." There is more to whistleblowing than that, and to brush it off like that is just ignorance. Get educated about what it means to whistle blow in this great country.
I also use all of her cast iron skillets,
&&
I use cast iron too! I switched over after doing a lot of reading that concerned me about Teflon and other things of that nature.
It took awhile to get the seasoning to where I want it and it's still a work in progress, but it's to the point now where it's pretty much non stick. It's heavy and kind of a pain to clean, but it's soooo worth the effort. The way it crisps up things like potatoes for breakfast is to die for and makes a perfect egg. I refuse to cook breakfast in anything else. Highly recommend it.
Who's to say Kate took the second breakfast pic? for all we know she lifted it off the internet.
it was done time and time again in her cookbook.
Janna
Admin (#6), good grief, did TFW really tweet the "s" word in a
platitude? Didn't Gladys confirm that her heroine was squeaky
clean in all matters of language - unlike that potty-mouth ex of
hers? And I seem to remember TFW saying she and the kids
loved, "We Bought A Zoo," but that she didn't know why they
had to resort to using foul language. The mask is slipping...
OH I forgot to mention of course the tweet is carefully worded. She never actually said SHE made the custard, just that it was homemade. She does this all the time.
Wouldn't a normal person just say "I" made this? This is how normal people speak unless they're lying.

All you posters here, are terrific! I don't have twitter, only google, so you keep me apprised. From what you've said, the custard 2nd breakfast was a ruse, as is everything TFW comes up with. Of. Purse she reads here: damage control is her forte. I hope she is GONE GIRL.

4 requests for the recipe and... crickets.
Milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla... bake in bain-marie... wow, that took me 6 whole seconds.
Re: knives... We have an assortment of the high end swanky Japanese ones, Wusthofs, and even one old Cutco. Here's what I recommend... go to Williams-Sonoma, Bed, Bath and Beyond, or another place that sells a wide variety of knives. Try a bunch of them for hand feel. My to-go knives are not always expensive ones but the ones that feel good in my hand. Get something that feels solid and most of all, comfortable in your hand and also imagine what it will be like wet and slippery (as in can you keep a grip). Get something with a full tang which can be sharpened. A half-tang knife often is pressed out and cannot be sharpened. One of the problems with Cutco (at least the lines I've seen) is they use a serrated blade cannot be sharpened. A good full tang knife that you are comfortable with (you can find them as cheap as you want or as expensive as you want) which can be sharpened (professionally... its usually about $2 a blade where I live unless you want to learn to do it yourself, but its a real art) will last you decades.
I personally lean towards 5 to 7 inch paring knives because I like the control they give me and I prefer them to chef's knives for most work. The one knife I cannot live without though is not very expensive.. its the wusthof sausage knife which I think has been renamed the serrated utility knife. I love this thing. It is perfect for tomatoes, bagels, or anything smallish sized that you need a grip. Mine is from the classic series... not the most expensive, but it feels the best in my hand and I've used it at least 1-2 a week for about 11 years.
Admin (#6), good grief, did TFW really tweet the "s" word in a

YEs she did and she also added to it "PREACH IT!!!!" with her trademark gazillion exclamation points.
If I were a parent of one of the obsessed teen girls following her I'd be mad.
And that's the thing, I could care less if she wants to say shit, retweet shit, or eat shit and die.
But stop with the two-faced shit about what a pearl of little righteousness you are, such a good mommy and role model.
Things are shitty, often. Whatever. But if you choose not to go there and claim you don't go there, you better make darn sure that's your choice and that you're not just saying that to butter up your self-righteous sheeple.
And yes she really is slipping this week.
Tucker -- TFMJG probably doesn't even know what bain-marie is.
Those pictures of Robert with Shoka were sweet, and the one with Jon is sad. You can tell he really loved that dog and it hurts my heart to thing that he doesn't get to see him any more. Raise your hand if you think TFMJG brought Shoka back just to spite Jon (both hands waving energetically in the air).
I can understand that Robert feels the need to refute the animal abuse allegations. I'd be livid if someone accused me of that. However,we all know that the two sheeple who tweeted this nonsense are among the dumbest (okay, idiots) out there. The one has the PhD without the D, and the other one appears not to have one working brain cell. She makes things up as she goes along, and I really don't know how she has gotten away with it for so long.
I honestly never saw such a group of dumb people congregating in one place. It's like in order to belong to this flock you have to fail every intelligence test out there. Obviously they are not embarrassed by their stupidity, and in a way, that's sad. If they would be harmless, I'd almost feel sorry for them. However, the lies that they come up with are mean, vicious and cruel. They can't see the consequences of their actions, and all they are going to do is shoot themselves in the foot. Good grief, they aligned themselves with BV and look where that got them.
That said, you don't post false accusations against someone who has one of the best attorneys in the country. They are not smart enough to know that they really do need to be careful about making accusations like this...they think that they are above the law, and sheeple, you're going to do this to the wrong person.
Since nothing is true if there are no pictures, I'd really like to see their proof that Robert is lusting after Kate. That would be interesting, and good for a laugh. However, with dummies like this, it's best not to give them the time of day. Tit for tat back and forth isn't going to get you anywhere. The love it. They are master baiters. They'll keep this up until they cross the line. Give them enough rope...
Seems like all the sheeple and Kate are losing it due to the book. What happened to all the love and positivity?

The picture is a image of the following quote:
"If someone treats you like shit, just remember that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don't go around destroying other human beings"
That quote applies so much to Kate and describes her to a T. She's the one who treats people like shit and is trying to destroy them. She is anything but normal.
Believe me, Kate. Everyone does know it about you, and we've been preaching it for years.
so-called experts
&&&
Someone with her background and resume is an expert.
Just like in the court of law, you are free to disagree and present a different expert, but it's silly to question their expertise. She is what she is, her resume is what it is. It's more than the Phd, it's the experience as well.
Don't they ever wonder what would cause all these experts over the years to say something? And isn't it embarrassing? An expert once analyzed my narcissist's divorce for a very reputable publication, and she was humiliated to tears. I really felt for the family over that but hopefully it was a wake up call. This is what you sign up for, don't like it don't be a celebrity.
Certainly there are many other higher profile celebs they could pick on who would give them more attention. Perhaps the concern is genuine?
Wow! That w with a capital W is freaking crazy! The next night after she did it? What in the hello is wrong with her?

Kate, thank you for posting that platitude for your kids, so they will know that "indeedy" there is nothing wrong with them and it is "indeedy" something wrong with you for treating them like shit all these years!
To be fair and honest, that goes both ways. The extreme haters are pretty vicious as well. No one on twitter is lily white.

I don't understand why this is constantly brought up every time we're discussing something timely with yet another crazy fan.
If you have a specific example let's discuss it. If not why continue to bring it up?
Some of the extreme haters scare me so I ignore them. I'd rather not hear about it. What does that have to do with discussing a very over the top series of tweets today from a deranged fan? Respectfully, I don't get it.
