FlimsyFlamsy said... 194 And of course TFW filed for divorce, not Jon. She was not abandoned and left hopelessly alone to put food in 8 mouths. She. Dumped. Him.
The divorce also wasn't some natural disaster, like a flood or tornado, that left TFW widowed and homeless and bewildered and left to take care of her family by herself. She has a living, breathing ex-husband who is a willing and capable father. For the hundredth time, if she is all alone, she has only herself to blame. ***** As if all this stuff just 'happened' to Kate and she had no part in the making of this situation. I think Colin has a real medical problem, that was exacerbated by lack of proper intervention for many years. His being admitted to an inpatient program is probably the best thing for him, because he's not mired in the problems of home, in the drama, in the 'chaos' of 7 other kids and a menagerie, of filming and of peering eyes from the media and fans. I'm certain that it's best that professionals can peel away the many layers of compounding problems and comorbidities by having Colin outside of the home and Kate's influence.
As Concerned Chick astutely pointed out on Twitter, putting it on the cover of People magazine doesn't look much like wanting to keep it private ***** I know! Think about it. This wasn't Kate's PR person releasing a statement. This was the cover of People magazine with Colin missing, and right there under all their lily-white-clad smiling faces is the headline, "The reason Colin, 12, is spending time away". Private, my ass. Kate made sure to release this story in a manner that would garner her, and her show, as much media attention as possible. Not to mention the hefty paycheck she collected for the photos that went along with that edition. Oh, the photo shoot that was so hard on her that she had her little kids massaging her feet and legs at the end of the day.
Tucker's Mom said... 64 I don't think Kate can send him to boarding school if Jon wants to raise him. ----------------- Kate has sole legal custody of all 8 kids. That means she gets to decide everything without Jon. He would have to fight her in court for whatever he doesn't want her to do with the kids.
FlimsyFlamsy said... 1 ***** And not one mention of Colin. No one has any idea how long he's been away, or if he gets to come home, or if he gets to have his family visit. But, good thing for everyone that Kate keeps us in the loop about her puppies' grooming routine and making sure we know how warm and happy they are, safely ensconced in her bed every night. I mean, is it just me? Kate shouldn't need to give any specific information about Colin's diagnosis, prognosis or treatment, but ffs, if you tell the world you sent him away, your should follow up so the same people who needed to know that in the first place know he's OK. God knows how long Colin's been away at this point.
Tucker's Mom has left a new comment on your post "Kate and the kids seen filming at Target":
Blame your government if you don't like it. :) Not the poor not paying taxes, or the rich taking deductions either! :) ***** I was trying to make the point (not so effectively!) that there are a lot of people who don't pay taxes, but benefit from the infrastructure etc. that the tax payers like me pay for. It's impossible to make the argument that non-tax payers shouldn't use public amenities because it's not realistic.
$$$
Ah. Good point. If trump can't use any govt services then no one who doesn't pay should ether.
Speaking of pants, has anyone tried lularoe leggings? Oh, my gosh.
Ok, So I have experience with Lularoe. I saw their baseball tees, The Randy, one night on FB and went a little crazy. I bought one. Then I joined many online FB groups to find others. I soon found that you can't always find the print or size you want. So I turned to Ebay. That is where the cute prints or unicorns, as the say at Lularoe go to be marked up. That second one came and the fabric was completely different. The company tells you to hand wash this flimsy poly/rayon fabric, inside out. If not the garment will pill and fall apart. Bad sign. So then I ordered a third one and told the consultant I was looking for the type of fabric from the first one I ordered...more of a cotton with some spandex. The third Randy tee came. It was much bigger than the other 2 and very stretchy. Hmmm, ok. I like the style, the color, maybe I will put it in the dryer for literally 45 seconds and see if I can shrink it a bit. The fabric got burning hot, bad smell. It didn't shrink or get ruined but I imagine 10 more seconds my dryer would have caught fire. The fourth one came and it was a hideaous print, again, a different type of fabric that Roe tries to market that these clothes are exclusive etc...they only make 1200 of one item then it's gone. In the meantime I ordered one pair of their "buttery" soft leggings. Yes, they are soft but they are like Wal Mart leggings. Very much a camel toe. Again, it's quality people. I wouldn't even wear those as PJ's. You can't get your money back with LulaRoe, only a size change. They also market to the overweight women as these clothes are all stretchy. They make outfits of huge ugly floral and prints and tell you to mix and match. Tucker, you may like them because they definitely make huge oversized tunics to cover the buns. My Randy obsession came and went. The one shirt fabric I really like is the only one I wear. The other three have "grown". It is a multi tiered marketing business and all the selling is done on facebook either looking through albums of pictures of clothing or live sales. You can read more about them online. Very controversial LDS owned company who outsources all the manufacturing to poor South American countries or CHINA. My advice would be, don't get sucked in. It isn't worth the money and you never know the fabric you will get.
Ah. Good point. If trump can't use any govt services then no one who doesn't pay should ether. September 28, 2016 at 6:53 AM ****** Yup. Everyone has to use the roads and sidewalks, unless they can levitate! Only a few more weeks until this whole, smelly election process is over.
My advice would be, don't get sucked in. It isn't worth the money and you never know the fabric you will get.
Indie ***** Sounds like huge quality control issues. I've never bought t-shirts that actually fall apart in the wash until recently. I've had to literally throw a couple pieces away after wearing them once. Fabric quality and workmanship has declined across the board.
Admin, I never said camel toe or butt cheeks were acceptable. Shame on you for saying so. In fact I went into detail which styles and brands did NOT do that and that Kate's were nice.
Tamara, your comment about Trump (Donnie) is your opinion and not necessarily everyone elses. I happen to believe that if the professional politician who has been scrambling for this her entire life is the worst thing that can happen to our country. Trump is not much better, but at least he doesn't carry her baggage.
I am LDS. What is wrong with how we dress. We wear leggings, a lot actually. We wear longer shorts and don't wear tank tops. Big whoop. That was a little offensive. Modest is hottest.
Proud Morman said... 14 I am LDS. What is wrong with how we dress ***** What do you think of how Kate's been dressing since she shed her Christian patina? I'm curious to know from someone of your faith and background.
I'm with you Indie. The leggings do look like they are of a better quality - not thin. I like the pattern on the pants, and the top balances the pattern. Her top comes down to about wrist length - It's not like she is wearing a half shirt outside her home. She's wearing what a lot of women wear out to do shopping errands.
“This has been extremely heartbreaking for Kate,” the source says, adding that she has rejected help from friends in an effort to keep the battle private.
&&&&
It is stubborn and immature to reject help from family and friends because you want to keep things "private." And wait a second, if family and friends offered to help, then they know something is wrong. How would they know anything is wrong if you've been keeping it private? They know anyway, so what's the point in rejecting help? And is she implying that family and friends would run to the tabloids with this? (You know, like she as the mother did?) Nice little narrative they tried to float, but little of it adds up.
This line from the Radar source is kinda confusing because is the source trying to make us feel sorry for Kate for rejecting her family for help?the source says, "adding that she has rejected help from friends in an effort to keep the battle private. “She is really struggling.”So the source is saying Kate's excuse for rejecting family is to keep it private?What?Whoever this source is clearly needs to take off their rose colored glasses.
Admin (#17), yeah, pulling the privacy card is laughable from a woman who shared with the world which of her children crumpled into a heap when she found out her parents were splitting up.
You can't write a book of personal letters to your children called "I Just Want You To Know" and then claimed you give half a hoot about privacy. Nice try.
Trump had a golf tourney and 1 million to anyone that made a hole in one. Well one lucky guy did it! He did not get the million but he got a check for just over $100,000.
********************
Well, then, Donnie owes him another 900K.
When you have a golf tournament and say if you get a hole in one, you BUY a insurance policy to cover it just in case someone does get a hole in one!
It might cost 25K or a little more, but it would pay out if someone did.
And, I am sure Donnie would take that expense off as a charity deduction.
You can't write a book of personal letters to your children called "I Just Want You To Know" and then claimed you give half a hoot about privacy. Nice try. ***** That "high moral ground" excuse is way, way, way in Kate's rear-view mirror. And wait, if everyone always leaves Kate, why is she rejecting the help she decries she doesn't get or always leaves? So many holes in this b.s.
It has to be a serious condition for a child to be sent away, particularly with "anger issues" perhaps related to autism, psychosis or behavioral personality disorder. It would not surprise me given Kate's personality, hatred of Jon espoused by her to the kids, and putting the family's life on TV. My hope is that once Collin completes the program he can return home and absolutely NOT be filmed. It remains to be seen what is going on with Alexis, Hannah, Mady and Cara. Kate refuses to put the mental health of her kids first and shame on TLC for enabling this.
If Kate thinks cutesy pictures of the dogs makes everything ok, she needs counseling herself.
I've never bought t-shirts that actually fall apart in the wash until recently. I've had to literally throw a couple pieces away after wearing them once.
Fabric quality and workmanship has declined across the board. ------------------------- About 10 years ago, my daughter had a Speedo swimsuit that fell apart (though not immediately). It was sewed with the wrong thread, and the thread deteriorated over time. First one side of the seams got all fuzzy, then they fell apart. I fixed it several times; the last time, I re-sewed every seam that I hadn't already done, as it was easier to reinforce them than to try to get everything back together after a seam failure.
That kind of thing can happen, even with a "good" (and expensive) brand. Of course she didn't have the original bill. I thought about contacting them anyway, as it was obviously a Speedo, but it was easier to just sew it up!
I call bullshit. Collin might have anger issues, but the fault for that stems largely from Mommy Dearest. Time to stop blaming the divorce, seven years on. ----- It's as if she had nothing to do with the divorce. It happened TO her while she was slaving away being Mother Theresa to eight, count 'em, eight small helpless children. Does she forget that she filed? That she chose to happily make it a TV sensation? That she's made is as toxic as possible for her former husband? It's like she's living in a bubble dimension cut off from the rest of us.
Yes, you did. You stated that there was absolutely nothing wrong with taking advantage of the tax system and pay NOTHING in taxes. That means there is nothing wrong with allowing others of lesser means to subsidize your use of those services because that is precisely what you are doing.
$$$
You are making an incredible leap in logic that makes no sense. The fatal flaw in your strange reasoning is that whether or not a person takes a tax break does not affect the tax rate for other people. If me passing on a deduction means you suddenly only pay a 8 percent rate instead of 10, your reasoning might actually make sense. I said there is nothing wrong with taking a legal deduction available to you. That is different than opining on whether the deduction itself is proper.
Are you not understanding that passing on a deduction does not mean the extra money rains down on the poor?
Not to get too in the weeds of a political discussion, (and I am not American, so I only know a little about your tax laws, etc), but is the tax system not progressive? I understand deductions can affect that, but isn't the difference between their plans deductions vs. benefits? To give a "poor" family a large deduction for childcare, etc. is great, but that only happens once a year. They still have to struggle to pay during the year, and then get the deduction at tax time.
And we take all the deductions we can during tax time, but at some point, don't we all have to pay for all the resources we use?
I don't want to get too involved, as this is not my government, and I have my opinions as a "foreigner", which I will keep to myself.
Does she forget that she filed? ****** But Tamara, Kate HAD to file, right then and there, just hours before the ratings-bonanza episode aired! She had to make sure that she had the knife stuck in Jon's back twisted just a bit more by having TLC scroll a message after the episode ended, which implied that Kate had to RUN, not walk, but RUN to the courthouse to file because Jon did something so terrible that she had to act to protect the children. From the get go, Kate set out to take Jon down and take him down HARD. As far as self-serving, shitty, ballsy, malicous moves go, it was brilliant.
That is complete BS about Kate feeling she wants to keep things private and not accept help. Nothing here is private. She put that crap in People magazine. Then if she accepted help from family, what would they learn? Hmmmm? It's shameful only if you've been doing shameful things. For ex., having a son with autism or anger issues is nothing to be ashamed of. If he got worse because you beat him or refused to love him, you should be ashamed. Would they see the separate room for Colin and find it awful?
I find myself in tough situations a lot with my illness. If I'm really ill and call someone for a ride to the hospital, they might come to my house and find it messy and needing a cleaning because I've been too sick to do it. Because I am family, they say nothing and take me to the doctor. Often when I come home they have cleaned up. I am grateful for the help. When casual acquaintances ask how I'm doing, of course I want to be private and I say things are a little tough but I'll be ok. I don't broadcast it to the world!
Kate is just trying to get some sympathy since the People article didn't work. Boo hoo. She has money and paid help and a bodyguard. She doesn't seem to need any help from "friends".
Although not many people can bothered to comment on Kate stories anymore, every comment on the Radar article (except for those about earning $7500/mth, lol) is against Kate. They are all clear on who's at fault with respect to Collin's issues. So it seems like this was kind of a major miscalculation on the part of the "insider." Keep your mouth shut, Kate, and stick to the stupid puppy photos.
I don't want to get too involved, as this is not my government, and I have my opinions as a "foreigner", which I will keep to myself. ***** I could use a primer too ;-) I mean, I know enough, but not all the nuances. Which is why there are tax lawyers, I guess.
I've noticed a pattern. When there are derogatory tabloid articles about Kate, some mysterious "source" leaks rebuttal or sympathetic info soon after. Jeff Prescott unloads and next thing you know, a close insider contacts Radar.
It infuriates me that Kate is using Collin to garner sympathy. She did not have to go through anything alone, which I don't believe anyway. The one thing I do know is that no extended family members were involved in any way helping Collin. She also kept him from Jon so blaming Jon is ridiculous.
Most if not all of the D-listers leak to the tabloids. Somehow, "insiders" on Jon's side have no clue what they're talking about, but Kate's "insiders" never get a rebuttal from her. Hmm...
@Sad but true (31)Your comment reminds me of this other comment tucker's mom said about how people can still be blinded by Kate.Which i'll answer,the thing is tucker's mom most people do think Kate is horrible as a mother and person.To be honest i actually thought we were starting to become a small group of the same 24/7 haters back in late 2014 to early 2015.Back then i don't know if was just me but on tabloids there seemed to have been alot of Kate fans back then.But once the new episodes started airing and some didn't get over 1 million thats when i realize that were not a small minority,especially since the comments in regards to Kate's people magazine had alot of brutal comments that were against her.The problem i think is that we read Kate's TL and IG and see plenty of likes and followers of Kate that do make some think that Kate has alot of fans.Heck even milo tries to use that as an argument to try to prove that Kate is loved by so many.
jamezvader1194 said... 36 ****** I seem to remember several years ago, the comment section on Radar would get hundreds and hundreds of Kate-lovin' comments. Anyone who said anything negative about Kate there would get crushed.
locaylyocul said... 38 OK now this is just stupid ^^^ I know. Slow day after Brangelina died down? I knew that photo was innocent, but really dumb to post because of the optics and context of Kate's whole, sorry saga. I think it's rather humiliating to post that of a 12-year old, but she wasn't locking him in. That said, Kate should know better than to post it.
Agree. Plus Aaden has fingers unlike a dog. He could easily get out.Of course the dumb photo opp was TFW's idea I'm sure, how cute- not. That was silly and of course a story was made of it. I must say she is getting publicity out of all this nonsense plus from Collin's plight.
Im not defending Kate but i think Radar is going overboard a bit.Come on,its a photo of Aaden with the dog in the cage.This reminds me of when people were going crazy over the photo of mady trying on Kate's shoes and you can see mady's legs.People for some reason claimed that the photo was every pedophile's dream photo or that Kate was trying to attract pedophiles.
If you want to applaud the 1% for taking a free ride on the backs of others because the law allows them to do so, have at it, but stop telling me that there isn't a difference in values, when clearly there is one.
&&&&
I think rich, middle class, poor, whatever, if the government has handed you a coupon, it is a legal coupon, and it doesn't hurt anyone else to take it, you should take the coupon without fear of condemnation from the self righteous. You can then take the money you save with the coupon and put it to a whole hell of a lot better use than the government has.
There is a difference in values. And that is that I think private people know how best to spend their money, and that it shouldn't be turned over to the government to spend on pork. There is a difference in values. I don't think legal coupons should be sneered at by the morally superior. Question, what do you do to help people who are struggling? Or do you just sneer at people's tax returns and legal deductions all day. That line of the debate was outright pathetic and you know it.
jamezvader1194 said... 44 Im not defending Kate but i think Radar is going overboard a bit.Come on,its a photo of Aaden with the dog in the cage ******** I agree, but I don't know what Kate can do about it. She put it out there because she has a sick need for attention. For "likes" and comments to stroke her ego.
Can you imagine what it's like to be Aaden and not only does your mom put that photo on social media, but then, you're splashed on Radar in a story that implies your mother locked you in a dog crate? I can't imagine the burden of that.
I know that the photo of Aaden in the crate is innocent but if you look you'll see that it is latched (locked?). I don't crate dogs so I don't know if that's something that automatically happens when you close the door or if it's something that Kate did (so the door would close completely) when she told him to get in there for the picture.
Kate published the photo and it was stupid to begin with. A kid in a cage is NOT GOOD optics even if it was an innocent photo op. I saw nothing cute about it. A toddler with a dog (definitely not in a cage) is super cute. I love the YouTube videos.
I don't understand why the crate's door was latched anyway. Usually the dog is taught this his safe place where he can come and go unless it is necessary to crate him. She latched them in the crate for no reason other than a photo op. I agree it was a dumb story in Radar but she embarrassed Aaden, IMO.
There is now one Kate-positive comment on the ROL Collin article, and it's the same old fan BS. "Jon spanked them, too." Perhaps. But he didn't beat the crap out of two-year-olds, I'm pretty darned sure of that. And "Oh there's a reason why Jon hasn't seen Collin in two years, he just won't tell you." This all came straight from that brief series of Deanna Bell tweets of 10 months ago. And that's all they got, right down to the approved language ("toxic").
"Jon also spanked the kids. If Jon cared about his kids he wouldn't go two years without seeing his son. There's a reason for that but Jon won't admit it. A friend of the family tweeted that Jon lied in interviews about visitation. Only some of the kids got Christmas presents from him. Hopefully as Hannah gets older she won't let her manipulative dad play on her sympathy. Mady spoke the truth. Her dad is toxic."
If Kate asked Aaden to keep Nanuq company for a few minutes while she cleaned her area, why didn't Aaden take Nanuq into another room or outside? A 6 year old would get into a crate with their dog, not a 12 year old.
If Aaden went into the crate on his own at 12 years old this is another example of how CHILD ABUSE can cause serious problems with normal emotional growth.
It is my opinion that ALL of the children's emotional maturity has been stunted due to abuse.
Did Kate coerce Aaden into doing this so Mommy Dearest could have another photo op? If it wasn't a photo op, why would Aaden be smiling and looking at the camera?
In my world I don't know of any 12 year old that would consent to having their photo taken in a dog crate!

I don't crate dogs so I don't know if that's something that automatically happens when you close the door or if it's something that Kate did (so the door would close completely) when she told him to get in there for the picture. ****** A human could latch and unlatch from the inside. It doesn't auto latch. That said, mine have a top and bottom latch, just to ensure the dog can't get out.
As awful as it was for Radar to post the photo of Aaden in the dog crate was, I bet Kate is basking in the pity from people in the comment section. And for anyone not real familiar with dogs, it's really not a good idea to let any kid (or stupid adult) put themselves in a crate with a dog or puppy. Dogs have a fight or flight response and if they can't flee, as in, they are confined in a very small space and the dog feels a threat, they may very well fight, which means biting. It is a very bad example and not cute at all to teach kids they they can help themselves to a dog's very private space, especially when the dog in in there. The crate is a den and a tool and is not a toy.
I guess we question this because we have to ask why a 12 year old would climb into a dog crate? Dog crates are not something anyone would want to climb into. Like CS said, a normal situation would be for Aaden to take the dog into another room. My feeling is those dogs absolutely do not have run of the house despite what Kate wants fans to think.
TLC stinks said... 56 I guess we question this because we have to ask why a 12 year old would climb into a dog crate? Dog crates are not something anyone would want to climb into ***** I think little kids, like 5 or 6 year olds would think it's fun to "play dog" in the dog's crate. By 12, and certainly after being a dog owner with Shoka for many years, Kate would have some modicum of common sense when it comes to dogs. The dog crate is not a Barbie play house or fort. 12-year olds should be telling that to younger kids, not doing it themselves.
Remember the Sloppy Joels photo with his face smeared with tomato sauce? Same thing. Degrading and silly to portray these kids as objects of ridicule just for a photo.
@Sad but true How many times is that person going to bring up what Deanna said?Its the same person that keeps bringing that argument to every Kate Radar article.Why do i get the feeling its one of the fans that we know?
Formerly Duped said... 58 Remember the Sloppy Joels photo with his face smeared with tomato sauce? Same thing.

I think TFW took the picture with a boy tup in the dog crate and locked it to give Jon a huge blank you that his other son is in a facility where he can't see him.
She had to put the pup in with the boy tup so it wouldn't look that obvious.

To see that innocent child used and demeaned like that was so painful to see. For that little boy to have to SMILE in that picture. ENDURE THE RIDICULE from his schoolmates.
She has officially declared war on those boys.

This video documents 43 minutes of Kate's Mental Illness and Abuse towards her Children.
Why haven't charges been filed against Kate, TLC, Discovery Health Channel, Figure 8 and any other individual connected with the taping of Jon & Kate Plus 8 and Kate Plus 8?
Each of them witnessed the abuse and never reported it.
I think TFW took the picture with a boy tup in the dog crate and locked it to give Jon a huge blank you that his other son is in a facility where he can't see him. ***** That would involved Kate understanding what an allusion is ;-)
I don't think Kate put the pic of Mady in high heels to purposely to attract pedophiles, but I do think it was in poor taste. And once people pointed it out she should have removed it. But Kate doesn't seem at all concerned about pedophiles or perverts ogling her children.
I agree, Tucker's Mom. It occasionally happens, unfortunately, that a family pet reacts instinctively and someone gets hurt. As much as we love our pets and they love us, they are still animals. Kate really is an idiot. I would not have allowed my child into a dog's crate because it is supposed to be their safe area. Aaden could have been bitten.
I think TFW took the picture with a boy tup in the dog crate and locked it to give Jon a huge blank you that his other son is in a facility where he can't see him.
She had to put the pup in with the boy tup so it wouldn't look that obvious. ======== I think you're reading too much into it. My opinion is that she thought it would be cute when she staged the picture. It wasn't. My puppy has a playpen (fabric, roundish with two openings) and it's his "cave". He puts his special things that he doesn't want us to touch in it. AND he will be right on top of us if we crawl part way in to retrieve a shoe. As others have said, the crate should be the dog's special place. Also, as others have said, I think if a 12 year old was told to get the dog out of the way, the child would naturally take the dog out of the room.
It's a good idea generally not to joke around about things like putting your kid in a dog crate. If you do it, don't take a photo of it.
Problem is stuff like that can get really twisted around by CPS. I had a very similar "locking in dog crate" issue years ago. The parents insisted it was a joke, and it may very well have been. But far too much time was spent trying to explain something that never should have happened in the first place.

((((((((((((((((
I really doubt that Kate would even think of that. She thought it would be cute to put it on the internet, and so she staged the picture and posted it. Sometimes an apple is just an apple, even though you try to find a hidden meaning in its core!
It would be a little harder to unlatch it from the inside, it's designed that way so a really smart dog can't figure it out. But a human could make it work by sticking their fingers through the bars. My dog has never taken in interest in trying to get out of his crate. For instance I had to crate him today because the carpets were being cleaned. But even if he tried the latch is very, very tight. I usually have to kind of hit it with my hand to get it to pop out.
Not to get too in the weeds of a political discussion, (and I am not American, so I only know a little about your tax laws, etc), but is the tax system not progressive? I understand deductions can affect that, but isn't the difference between their plans deductions vs. benefits? To give a "poor" family a large deduction for childcare, etc. is great, but that only happens once a year. They still have to struggle to pay during the year, and then get the deduction at tax time.

I am a nerd who finds taxes interesting, and I also find it interesting the way people have been manipulated about the state of our tax code. Well done, politicians.
Contrary to some of the lies put out there, generally, poor people pay very little in taxes, and the more income you make the more you pay. A rich person can pay a quarter to a half in income, and most do.
What Hillary has a complaint about is Trump being able to shave off business taxes, legally. She she is talking about corporate and business taxes, which can be favorable, and allow a lot of various, LEGAL ways to bring down your tax bill. If you funnel all your money through your corporations, which can also be legal if you do so correctly, it's a way to shield your money from regular man taxes.
There are a lot of very good reasons to give businesses favorable tax rates. A big one is to encourage them to stay in the U.S. Another big one is to pad them with extra money they could very well use for raises, bonuses, and to hire more people.
While the other side likes to simplify the argument (the rich are taking from the poor!) they refuse to acknowledge that the poor work for all these businesses, and that without favorable tax rates, it very often means less money in everyone's pocket, not just the CEO.
Economically, I am a big supporter of being as friendly as possible to U.S. businesses small and large in all manners as I believe it helps everyone. I don't believe rich people are any more evil than poor people (I'll show you some evil poor people), and I don't believe the vast majority of rich people are bad for everyone else. If you tax Trump into oblivion he'll say fine I'll pack up and go to Mexico, set up shop there. All of a sudden thousands are without jobs, and that's not good either. Look what happened to Apple, Kodak, and several car companies. I don't buy into the simple argument that all problems will be solved if we just tax the rich and their businesses at 90% and make them pay for everything. That's been tried before in other countries, and it's resulted in financial ruin.
Tax breaks for businesses, especially when we're talking about the smaller ones, is often the difference between being able to set it up here or abroad. For even smaller businesses, it's often the difference between being able to set up the business at all and live the American dream. But yes by all means, businesses are evil and rob money from the poor.
There is something about this anonymous source that calls in these "responses" to negative articles that suggests they don't really know what is going on. Rather, it has the feel that they are getting their information from Kate, and just believing it and repeating it. And who else has done that before but Deanna?
The comment about not wanting family and friends to invade their privacy sounds like something Kate would lie about to explain why she has no one. The real story is she has no family and friends or what little she does they're not willing to help especially when she would never stop her life to help them.
It is my opinion that ALL of the children's emotional maturity has been stunted due to abuse.
****************
In total agreement. I feel so bad for all of the kids!
But, TFW is immaturely stunted at 13 herself so, maybe as the kids get older they will be more mature than her and then realize what a nut case she really is, all hello will break loose.
And she only has herself to blame because she didn't get any mental help for herself.
I have to gently disagree about the dog cage picture.
TFW knew people would go nuts about it. She doesn't care if the publicity is good or bad, she just craves it.
Her putting the Mady in heels picture. She knew. She is not stupid. She is willing and did gather her kids minus Colin and pose for the cover of People with that smug grin and proclaiming it is a struggle. But she wants privacy.
Like Admin said, you can't have it both ways.
Oh, she tweeted about Bill Blankenship.
Never heard of him! Screamed it on twitter.
Seems like IIRC, a pap asked her about it when she was out and about and she said loudly, Never heard of him!
Jon said, they met him 2 or 3 times. Jon was horrified that he had edited film of the show.
Anything under the sun goes and doesn't bother her as long as she gets paid.
The real story is she has no family and friends or what little she does they're not willing to help especially when she would never stop her life to help them.
*****************
The main reason why they are not willing to help, even though, you know they desperately want to is that TFW will make their lives a living hello.
If they interfere, she will scorch the earth where they stand.
Just like she did her sister when she gave that interview because TFW scorched her with a story about her husband and embarrassed her, her husband and their children.
She doesn't give a ****.
I have never seen or heard of someone like her with this kind of DEEP bitterness, resentment, revengeful, hateful person in my life. It is just stunning.
Her victim card of me against the world is mind boggling.
I Googled articles about children being locked in dog crates as punishment. Those abusive mothers went to jail. At first I thought the Radar article was nonsense, but the optics of what she did is horrible. She has a total lack of awareness that most people would not find her photo of Aaden amusing in any sense. Now I have no issue about Radar exposing the photo to the public. I feel bad for Aaden used as her prop, but what else is new?
The comment about not wanting family and friends to invade their privacy sounds like something Kate would lie about to explain why she has no one. *** Wanting privacy is dog whistle for Kate is controlling the narrative (and has no one left) and maybe the situation is so bad that no one would keep their mouth shut if they knew what goes on in the compound. Not sure. However, "help" is a rather nebulous term here. What kind of help does Kate need? Colin needs a professional or professionals to treat him. The other kids are 12 and 16, and certainly able to be quite independent. She has an ex-husband and father of her children who can help-if she asks and allows him to. I'm just not sure what this help is supposed to do for her? Kate has hired help for the kids, house and property. This isn't like when the kids were babies and she needed more hands to take care of their every need.
Kate Gosselin Announces New Season Of ‘Kate Plus 8’ DESPITE Troubled Son Collin’s Treatment!
The reality star could talk about her child's serious issues on TV.
Though her son Collin is in a treatment facility following years of serious behavioral issues, Kate Gosselin refuses to step out of the spotlight!
After nearly a year off the air, the reality matriarch has confirmed that she and her enormous brood will be back for another reason of TLC reality show Kate Plus 8 early next year.
“We are! Full season of Kate Plus 8 returning in January!” the 41-year-old mother of eight responded to an Instagram follower’s comment that the family should return to TV. (The original post was a bizarre photo of her son Aaden in a dog crate.)
Kate’s decision may come as a shock to many fans, as her son Collin, 12, is undergoing treatment in a facility two hours away from home.
Insiders recently told Radar that the boy — who was expelled from elementary school in 2010 for what sources claimed was hurting an adult — suffers from “anger issues” and frequently “lashes out.”
Will Kate document Collin’s battle on the new season? While the answer is still unclear, her son’s very serious troubles have never been off-limits in the past. In August, she announced in a major magazine interview that he was getting professional help for his “special needs,” and once spoke about his “social” and “educational” problems.

Kate’s ex-husband Jon, 39, is sure to be furious with her move to keep the kids, especially Collin, on TV.
I am LDS. What is wrong with how we dress ***** What do you think of how Kate's been dressing since she shed her Christian patina? I'm curious to know from someone of your faith and background
Actually, GollyGee, I do think Kate is that stupid. That's what happens when you isolate yourself and think only of yourself and not about what happens outside your world.
Nobody needed to know that Collin was sent away to a treatment facility.This is entirely Kate's doing because she wanted her narrative public before a new season aired. She and TLC would be questioned why no Collin. This, to me, appears that sending Collin away was a last resort decision because she attempted (as noted by last year's episodes) that Collin was separated from the others, medicated, and omitted from some of the filming. She tried to keep that child filming until there was no other alternative.

PHOTOS: On The Warpath! Bethenny Frankel Slams Kate Gosselin, Giuliana Rancic & Other Reality Stars In Blistering Radio Interview — 10 Epic Disses.
Kate Gosselin – Bethany Frankel slammed the mother of eight, saying: "Kate Gosselin was definitely dating her body guard and has that money somewhere."
I am not saying this about Colin, but TFW! Talk about pulling no punches! Wow, TKO in the first round!
She must be raging. People were furious when Kate revealed she put her 12-year-old son in a treatment facility, but now it's revealed just why she did this
Kate Gosselin reveals son's problems to world
Kate Gosselin is in the headlines today because she is "struggling," which is pretty much how this mom of eight has described her life since she first caught the public's eye. She offered up some personal information about one of her children last month, starting a social media storm on Kate's parenting skills, or to be more specific, her lack of parenting skills.
What kind of mother does this?
During an interview Kate revealed that her son Collin has been sent away from home for treatment for his "special needs." This is something other families deal with all over the nation, but unlike other parents this mom of eight stepped up to the microphone, broadcasting her son's plight to the world. This is why people became so furious when hearing that Kate actually offered up the information that her 12-year-old son had been admitted to a facility for treatment of his "special needs," which are revealed as #Anger Issues today.
Sitting duck for taunting and teasing
Collin Goselin is 12, which is such a tough age for kids especially when it comes to peer pressure. He also has five siblings who are 12 and in school around other kids. Kate didn't do her son any favors by releasing this private information about him. This has now singled him out and he'll carry this stigma with him for a long time.
Stigma
Kids can be some of the cruelest creatures on Earth when it comes to taunting, teasing and bullying. Kate's reveal made Collin a target for this. It is not as if Collin and his siblings had a normal childhood as cameras have followed them around from an early age. Jon and Kate's marriage ended in a divorce and one of the main reasons for their divorce was Jon's insistence that the kids be allowed to have a normal childhood by stopping the filming of "Jon and Kate plus 8."
Jon Gosselin still fighting Kate's fame war!
Despite Jon's insistence that the cameras go away and their lives no longer be part of a reality show, it didn't happen. "Kate plus 8" was born and Jon went on his way with years of arguing over custody to follow. So Kate's done it again, instead of keeping Collin's issues within her family and close friends, she uses the child's struggles as an opportunity to put herself in the spotlight.
There is absolutely no shame in having a child with anger issues; where the shame does fall is with the parent who literally exploits that problem and in this case, it was allegedly done so Kate could stay in the headlines. When Kate first announced that Collin was "sent away" for treatment of "special needs," fans of Kate wondered just what "special needs" did Collin have.
Irate dad!
#Jon Gosselin was irate when he first learned that Kate announced to the world that Collin was sent to a facility last month, reports "Radar Online." This was just one more time out of the many that Kate went against his wishes as the other parent when it came to making a decision about the kids. Last month Jon was more than furious that Kate reported on a cover of a magazine about their son's struggles.
She can talk about her problems all she wants, although she has to remember she has children that are teens and preteens. Her kids are at an age where this can be a very turbulent time for a child even under the best of circumstances. So why would Kate want to draw attention to herself and her kids, who may ultimately pay the price of her chasing fame via taunting and teasing from their peers?
People mag used the ROL non-story to run essentially a repeat of their August cover on the Gosselins. I wonder if Kate begged them to do this to somehow legitimize what she put out on Twitter. The headline "Kate Gosselin Confirms New Season of Kate Plus 8 Set to Premiere in January" should really piss off TLC---that's THEIR job.
GollyGee (#90), boy, do they have TFW's number! They said, "He'll carry this stigma with him for a long time." But actually, he'll carry it with him FOREVER. When the cover of a national magazine broadcasts your emotional challenges all the world to see, it doesn't get more permanent than that. TFW can never unring that bell. And for C to have his mother -- his supposed champion, advocate, protector, and supporter -- grinning on the cover to accompany the announcement? How can that not be seen as a sickening, self-serving decision?
What no one seems to have picked up on is that Kate confirmed at least three air dates for new episodes before throwing January out on IG. That should be the real story, along with the fact that her 10-year "special" was never aired on TLC at all, but was thrown online as a pay-per-view.
Sad but true (#94), I'm starting to think the real air date might be "the 12th of never."
Really, the more they delay it, the worse things look. This isn't a house-flipping show, or a construction/remodeling show, where the timing wouldn't make much of a difference. This show features 8 (or 7) kids, knee deep in puberty, whose looks are changing on the regular. Airing footage of them looking so much younger has to make people wonder what took so long.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 7m7 minutes ago Yes indeed! When the legitimate #InsideSource speaks > Kate Plus 8 set to premiere in January! http://peoplem.ag/yPrOnKs @kateplusmy8
"Legitimate inside source"? Ya mean Kate? LMAO! The comments on the People piece are 98% scathing.
How many times has Kate posted about new episodes "coming soon", only to have them pushed back over and over?
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 · Apr 27 For all of you who have been asking..New eps of K+8 have been rescheduled for near future ...& you'll see why soon! 😉 #ItsAllGood #Exciting
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 · May 27 @MiloandJack @TLC I know! When I know official air dates,I'll let u know..Outta my control...BUT lots more shows2come!Stay tuned! #KatePlus8
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 · Jul 26
@dsmorto #KatePlus8 is coming back in the fall!! October to be exact! See you again then :):) Thanks again!
Then on her IG post, dated 9/17, she posted "We are! Full season of Kate Plus 8 returning in January! #Yay."
Yet still no confirmation from TLC.
I wonder how TLC feels about the fact not only did Kate state it on IG, but now Radar and People have published her post. I remember how the Busby's stated that they couldn't announce anything about their show returning until TLC made an official announcement.
I think it'd be especially funny, if after this announcement was made more public, via People and Radar, that the shows were again pushed back. That would definitely show Kate's lack of credibility.
She tried to keep that child filming until there was no other alternative. ***** That's my guess, and as soon as he was safely ensconced in a facility, the filming cranked up to 11. I think we'll find out that Colin was sent away last spring, and Kate filmed through the summer and fall. In fact, still filming.
Of course, no Milo love-fest would be complete without some reference to Kate's bangin' bod. And isn't it nice that Milo is now the intermediary between Kate and her friend Jamie? Talk about crossing a line.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 12m12 minutes ago Your buddy Jamie was working out this mornin'! Was thinking of your 8 lil babe busy Mom years! LOL @kateplusmy8

I think either Kate or "someone" forwarded that tweet to People to make sure it got out publicly to a wide audience about the air date. Not happening if TLC has not confirmed. I smell desperation.
The comments on the People article are 95%+ negative. Do you suppose People knows that will happen when they choose Kate as a subject and just do it to get a reaction?
I always thought when she wore that big fat diamond ring on her engagement finger it was a publicity stunt to stir speculation about her and Jeff at the 2015 Block Party.

Flimsy, as soon as I read long time I said, WHAT?
I said, he will have this FOREVER!
I wonder if she was drunk or did she do it on purpose when she tweeted that her show was coming back in January?
This People comment cracked me up. A fan was arguing about why TFW can't get a regular job: "The childcare costs for 8 children would be astronomical." They are away from home about 8 hours a day. Heck, when I was the tups' age, I was already babysitting at night on weekends.
Oh, and there are only 7 kids to worry about now. TFW always finds clever ways to save money...
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 11m11 minutes ago Huge credit to you NOW though! No need for teens to be one bit embarrassed about you! Trim/fit & lookin' good Mom! @kateplusmy8 ******* Are you kidding? Your kids should be embarrassed and ashamed if you aren't made over into a Barbie doll?
Funny that People labels K+8 as a "hit show," but that it last aired in January. Wouldn't TLC have made room for episodes of their hit show -- which have already been filmed and edited -- before an entire year passed by?
Tucker's Mom said... 100 I wonder how TLC feels about the fact not only did Kate state it on IG, but now Radar and People have published her post. ***** It makes TLC look like amateurs who don't have their sh*t together.
What in the world have they been filming that would constitute a whole season? There have been very few Kate sightings. New Orleans in the rain storm and Chicago after the block party is all I remember. If they've been filming around the compound then swimming, driving lessons, and chores are going to get old real quick. The puppies aren't going to carry the show and Kate exploiting Colin's situation won't go over well.
Seems to me Kate is trying to force TLC's hand and guarantee her a slot by January after being kicked to the curb in April, May, and October. At this point I won't be surprised if the new episodes never see the light of day.
I wonder if she was drunk or did she do it on purpose when she tweeted that her show was coming back in January? ------------------- I think she did it on purpose. I believe she did it on more than one Instagram post. She probably looks through all the comments on instagram so she can delete anything negative. And lately, she's been looking for "when will you be back (etc)" so she can reply with her "news".
I think instagram is a much better medium for Kate than twitter, because she can control the narrative, and that she will abandon twitter, much to Milo's dismay. Though she might possibly still have "twitter parties" if/when new episodes are shown.
@MikeB I hope this backfires on her.Just by announcing and reannouncing different airdates even though TLC hasn't said a word only makes Kate look foolish.I get that she has no control over it but DON'T say anything about it until TLC said something.If there are still no episodes by January im certain milo and some others will be harassing TLC.Just the thought of that reminds me of when duggar fans kept whining to TLC not to cancel them and saying they'd cancel their subscriptions with TLC and saying things like"Well at least they aren't like the Kardashians".
Boy, does Kate ever have People magazine/Kate Coyne under her thumb! She sent that tweet about the show airing in Jan quite awhile ago, and they are just now printing it--and making a big story about it. It sure does look like Kate (and People) are trying hard to stir up media attention lately.
The "Outdaughtered" family said they had to wait until TLC made the announcement about a new season before they said anything. Does that rule not apply to Kate? Or maybe she just doesn't care what TLC's rules are. Wouldn't it be funny if TLC delays her season even longer, just to teach her a lesson? I know I'd laugh. Or maybe she's using this announcement to try to force TLC's hand and make them air it already.
MikeB said... 111 . . . Seems to me Kate is trying to force TLC's hand and guarantee her a slot by January after being kicked to the curb in April, May, and October. At this point I won't be surprised if the new episodes never see the light of day. ________
You'd think she'd have figured out by now that these decisions are way above her pay grade. When she was cancelled in 2011, they told her the day before announcing it, is that right? And all her whining and moaning about piecin' and patchin' fell on deaf ears. I think she's really playing with fire here, and I hope this time TLC doesn't bother to to phoenix her ass.
Sad but true (#117), you'd think TFW would have learned her lesson when she told the fans not to believe the cancellation rumors, and got axed soon after.
Have any of these tabloids contacted TLC for a comment or confirmation? I would suspect a company on the level of People magazine would fact check and do their due diligence before repeating when a show will air without confirmation. Especially in light of the fact that this is the third time Kate has announced when her show will air.
Milo's outraged. But the only source for the story she's talking about (Aaden in the crate) was Kate herself on IG. So I'll second that #PatheticSource. But I sure hope she's not in need of $$$.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 53s54 seconds ago @CarleneMarie_1 @radar_online @Kateplusmy8 @GossipCop They have no conscience to print such crap! The #PatheticSource was in need of $$!
That's so funny that they made a story about Kate's little comment buried on Instagram. She said they were back in January and all TLC has to do is delay one more month and she looks like a complete idiot.
Back when Kate stories were on Radar constantly, there was a commenter using Betty or Betsy or something like that to constantly defend Kate. It's probably still the same person. I never learned if she was one of the uber-fans on twitter or not.
Kate could definitely have a job. There are many work-from-home nursing jobs doing paperwork or answering phone calls. However, she would have to interview and actually work. Even if she worked outside the home, lots of kids who are 16 and 12 are alone for an hour. I'm sure there's a security system. Just turn it on. She could easily pay someone to come to the home, get the van, and drive the kids home. (Or truly struggling moms send their kids to public or local Catholic school so the big yellow bus brings them home.)
Are the kids on probation at school? Or is Kate on probation? If I worked there, I'd be tempted to tell her if she didn't behave she could take the kids elsewhere.
Maybe all is not as it seems. It may just be K8 and Figure 8 doing the filming hoping that TLC will purchase the additional episodes that she's got in the can. I'm sure that by now she's not commanding the prices that she used to get so she needs to keep filming to keep the money train rolling. She's getting desperate and you can bet there will be more puppy/kid pictures published on instagram hoping to generate interest. And speaking of pictures, what was the deal with the last picture with the dog taking up all of the space on the seat and the kid on the floor? I realize that it was a posed picture but do the dogs now get priority seating in the BBB? Finally, why is it that when there's a negative story about her the fans all scream that Jon's selling stories because he needs rent money. Why don't they ask which inside sources need money when there's a positive story published about K8.
@Jeanne (122) It was betty and i've dealt with that person in the past,there was no reasoning with her,she'd blame Jon for everything and make Kate out to be a saint.She said because she's a grandmother that made her an expert on raising kids.She was insane and she'd harass anyone who'd speak negatively about Kate.Some people believe she was msgoody but im not sure.
Jeanne said... 122 . . . Kate could definitely have a job. There are many work-from-home nursing jobs doing paperwork or answering phone calls. However, she would have to interview and actually work. ______
She COULD have a job, but really, who would hire her? I can't imagine anyone outside of trash TV having the vaguest interest. In this respect, she was quite right when she said, "We can't go back." The fact is, after untold millions have seen the way she conducts herself, SHE very likely can't go back.
I really don't understand the recent filming when the next season is still months off. Wouldn't TLC want to wait and see how the ratings turn out before spending more money on this craptastic display? Why the hurry to film, but no hurry to air what they already have? I know Kate and the kids were filmed at Target last spring--right about the time they were also filmed shopping at Costco. Are they replacing footage that included Collin with footage without him? Maybe they are afraid of being accused of exploiting a child with special needs. It's hard to imagine that Figure 8 would want to take a risk on losing money on filming without anyone on the hook to buy the episodes.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 11m11 minutes ago Huge credit to you NOW though! No need for teens to be one bit embarrassed about you! Trim/fit & lookin' good Mom! @kateplusmy8

If I were Kate, I'd be embarrassed beyond words at Milo's comments about her body and looks. Yuck. Double yuck.
I wonder if Kate's "inside source" gave the story to ROL and People, about the show returning in January. How come when she tweeted about it returning in October, not one tab picked up on it?
Kate mentioned it in the Aaden IG post, and again mentioned it in her current IG post, which was posted yesterday. Yet they used the previous comment, not the one from yesterday. Plus she didn't mention it on twitter at all, which is usually where the tabs get their info from about her.
I think someone in Kate's camp notified the tabs about it, probably with Kate's blessing. Perhaps Milo needs the $$$.
TFW had better buy some more bots because even with her fucketybillion followers she's not getting that many "likes" or comments on Twitter or Instagram.
Kate is a twit said... 129 . . . I think someone in Kate's camp notified the tabs about it, probably with Kate's blessing. Perhaps Milo needs the $$$. ______
If they were hoping to generate a lot of #Yays and #Hoorays, they're failing miserably. Overwhelmingly negative---not to mention sparse---comments everywhere. Frankly, I'd be more concerned about sparse than negative at this point.
BTW, I noticed Deanna Make-Up in the credits for Inside Amy Schumer, so perhaps she's moving on/up in the world.
Go for it, Gladys! Book that room for the two of you. You know you want to, what with her trim and fit physique and all!

I have never seen it mentioned here before, but does Milo play on both teams? Not making a judgment, but I am a bit curious because she describes herself as a happily married female, and yet she continues to lust after Kate. I wonder what LOM thinks about her obsession with Kate's body.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 4m4 minutes ago @minimesmom1 @Kateplusmy8 It's an idiot's assumption to holler abuse! Aaden is clearly having fun time keeping Nanuq company! #TabloidTrash
And it's an idiot's assumption that, barely twelve hours later, that very same tabloid "broke" the story of Kate Plus *7* returning in January. Don't you remember what you said?

Your beloved People merely parroted the story in ROL---no extra reporting, no confirmation from TLC.
This woman just won't go away. I have never seen anything like this. Many years ago we kept hearing "stick a fork in her, she's done." Obviously this hasn't been the case. She really is a Phoenix Rising. Again and again and again. Even Lazarus was raised from the dead only once. Not so with Kate.
This People comment cracked me up. A fan was arguing about why TFW can't get a regular job: "The childcare costs for 8 children would be astronomical." They are away from home about 8 hours a day. Heck, when I was the tups' age, I was already babysitting at night on weekends.
&&&&
They are well old enough to be left home alone after school so that's no excuse. I can't tell you how many parents I know who figure out how to connect their job to a school and therefore keep similar hours to the kids. Therapists will get jobs as school counselors, medical professionals as school nurses, or there are many jobs at schools that don't require degrees at all or require any degree. For instance most schools will take anyone with a college degree as a sub.
She could get a job as a school nurse, and keep similar hours to them.
I love all the breathless "The reality star confirmed the news via Instagram that her family docuseries is coming back to TLC in January." Uh, that's at least three months away and, well, it's not exactly UP to Kate. This is one of the biggest non-stories I've ever seen take fire in the tabloid media. Milo, is that you over there manning the bellows?
I wonder if she was advised to get out ahead of TLC this time, as opposed to bringing up the [cancelled] rear. If so, that's a helluva gamble.
The cherry on top of this frantic PR day: A new photo of #NookiePookie, not in the bed, but next to it. (We all knew she doesn't sleep in the bed, right?)

I wonder if it was her road manager/advisor/bodyguard/purse holder/wrangler that advised her to do this because if TLC ain't filming he ain't getting paid either!
I wonder if it is in the contracts that if you spill the beans about filming, you get penalized financially.
If anyone was sick they had to film. Even the kids. And if they didn't whoever didn't film didn't get paid. So, how is that working for Colin?

Now a Yahoo article. Kate's little PR campaign is making the rounds. Still, no one has confirmed the start date of the "new season" with TLC.
===============
A FULL new season? How many episodes in a full new season? Will they be at Target and Cosco for each show, with some clips showing friends playing with Kate's puppies on the lesbian preacher Deckster?
Sad but true (#141), awww, another Norman Rockwell portrait of bedtime at Gosselin Manor. She sure doesn't seem to be in distress about her troubled son being away from home, so I guess her source was wrong. #OneLessIckyBoy
I have a feeling Colin will get that back and more in the settlement when he turns 18. ------------------ Well, what were the terms of their contract? Don't the kids receive 15% and that percentage is split 8 ways? And Kate can use their money for school, food, clothing, and medical bills? They'll be lucky if they don't end up owing her money. And of course her money will be stashed in various untouchable trusts far, far away.
(Leslie) I watched a few minutes of the first Leah video and a few minutes of the cheap hair one. I hate her southern accent. And I am from the deep, deep south. It sounds like a fake southern accent that they do in movies and TV.
And I only watched for a total of no more than 5 to 7 minutes and had to stop because of her terrible grammar. I done something. I ain't something. YUCK! She is just what I expected of a stupid Kate fan. Sorry but that is just the way she comes off to me. And why and the heck is she filming her very boring activities.
I doubt that dog was cold and needed to be covered with a blanket. She seems fixated with doing that on those dogs with their thick fur, LOL. Does she think these type of photos affirm her mothering instinct? I think that is what she implies.
Normally your boss (TLC) would announce, via a press release, the date of a new season. I believe someone told her "probably" January and she took it as gospel. I think she blabbed and TLC is probably not pleased because they like to roll out these types of announcements with promos, etc. I think she is pissed about the past delays. She ruined their advertising campaign releasing shows for 2017.
Maybe TLC told TFW that the show would air in January IF other shows weren't renewed, or if new shows weren't put on the schedule. So the network might be annoyed that she spilled this info, which Radar and People then ran with.
That Busby mom showed so much more savvy when she said she knew about her show earlier, but wasn't allowed to tell. But no never means no to TFW.
Kate does what Kate wants to do, which is part of the entitlement of narcissism. She will follow TLC"s rules and requests if she wants to. If she doesn't want to, they can F off.
I bet she also figures TLC is too busy to troll her Instagram looking for compliance. I don't think she counted on media picking up her comments. Narcissists also have an irrational certainty that they'll never get caught or if caught will be able to easily escape any consequences.
Admin (#156), and these little leaks/announcements coming from TFW also makes me think she's on her own -- no publicist, agent, manager or advisor to steer her in the right direction, or help her get the proper information in a timely manner.
Found another cooking show I'd never seen before with celebrity guest judges: Beat Bobby Flay. It's in its 9th season, but no one has tried to get famous cookbook author TFW a gig? Man, this woman can't get a non-TLC job to save her life.
"It makes TLC look like amateurs who don't have their sh*t together" ******** It looks to me like TLC told her that if she wants to be on teevee, she better promote herself because they are done with doing it for her.
I bet she also figures TLC is too busy to troll her Instagram looking for compliance. I don't think she counted on media picking up her comments ***** I don't think Kate planted the "announcement" in her IG hoping that the tabloids would run with it. I think it's rather funny to think that if Kate just threw another premier date out there, as she's done before, and it doesn't happen AGAIN, it will look pretty bad. Who knows. I don't think they're still filming for nothing.
And why and the heck is she filming her very boring activities. ***** Hi, Leslie! Yes, it's a bit sad, really. She seems to be struggling and I think turning to social media and YouTube is a cry for attention and approval. I wish her the best, but my gosh, I don't get the draw to watch anyone yammer on or do their errands.
FlimsyFlamsy said... 147 Sad but true (#141), awww, another Norman Rockwell portrait of bedtime at Gosselin Manor. She sure doesn't seem to be in distress about her troubled son being away from home, so I guess her source was wrong. #OneLessIckyBoy (******* Again, the optics. Kate's brief mentions of Colin in People seemed utterly perfunctory. Contrast that to her constantly showering her puppies with love and affection, making sure they're tucked into bed. It just looks so disconnected from the reality of her son being separated from his parents, brothers and sisters. I hope Colin is kept away from the internet where he can see his mother absolutely losing her mind over puppies, while he's sent away. Like Jon, Colin is gone, but life goes on and it seems like no one is missing a beat. I just don't believe that Kate is posting all these HAPPY!!!!!!, obsessive puppy photos, with dogs sleeping in her room and bed, yet she's crying for Colin.
Terri said... 162 It really just turns my stomach that Kate shows more love and affection for those dogs than she EVER has for her children. ******* It seems rather callous to me, given she seems to have no regard for how this looks, which is like she's happier than ever with her puppies. I don't think Kate has the attachment to her children (unless it's the girls she likes to hang out with) that people normally assume a mother naturally does. I don't think Kate really bonded to her children from the get go.
Dr. Lillian Glass Called It Early On With Kate Gosslin’s Children Needing Help
Some excerpts: Colin was an unusual child and we could see it from the beginning. In fact here is a quote on one of my observations of Colin’s from one of my earlier blogs about his disturbing behavior.
“In particular, I found the behavior of little Colin Gosselin disturbing as he appeared to be the one who consistently bullied the other children. He was often involved in some type of interaction which resulted one of the other children ending up in tears. He often seemed to be 0ff of his own and appeared to be disconnected from the others, in my view. Also, he rarely smiled. He also seemed to be rewarded for his bad behavior by Kate .”
Had Kate listened to some of her critics instead of being defensive and hostile towards them when they were trying to point out some red flags to her, perhaps neither she nor Colin would be in the situation she is in now.
What Kate needed to know then and needs to know now, it is her abusive behavior and rigid behavior towards this family that has impacted them greatly. Her parental alienation towards John has even leaked on to another one of her angry and hostile children, Mady Gosselin.
She goes on about Mady:
But then again, Kate has been mean to the children since the beginning. We all saw this for years on her show. So Mady is simply following Kate’s lead in the mean department. Kate was also so mean to the children’s father, Jon Gosselin and has badmouthed him every which way. She took verbal shots and legal shots at him every chance she could and shared this on every talk show she appeared. No doubt, she trashed Jon at home as well.
Now “mean girl” ( “mean” by her own words) Mady is 16 and is picking up where Kate left off when it comes to bashing Jon. Jon obviously loved his kids and showed them a lot of love and affection on the show while they were growing up. So it is understandable why he now feels frustrated that he doesn’t get to see all of his kids regularly. In fact, Jon told ET at the beginning of August that sadly he isn’t on speaking terms with Cara and Mady – and doesn’t see either of the girls often. Mady sets the record straight in a People Magazine interview....
Then Mady rudely and selfishly states that this is going to be a busy year for her at 16 as she is getting her license and studying for the PSAT tests and doesn’t need to be around a “Toxic” person.
This statement by Mady clearly shows how Kate has no doubt poisoned the well with Mady, when it comes to Jon. It is sad. It appears to me that Mady and the rest of her children will be needing a lifetime of therapy based on how abusively Kate treated them and Jon.
A child only learns what they have been taught and in Mady’s case we have seen that she has been taught anger and disrespect and that unfortunately this will be the legacy Kate Gosselin left for her. There is no doubt that the other kids may be equally as damaged by Kate’s anger.
Perhaps Colin had a biochemical problem, that was out of Kate’s control. But she didn’t help matters by not getting him the help he needed sooner In fact, she may have caused Colin even more damage by constantly showing him hostility as we see in the photo above where she shoves her hand over his mouth and scowls and yells at him for not behaving.
Sad but true...140...her family docuseries is coming back to TLC in January... ********************************8 "Docuseries"? Ha ha ha! I'm going to have the giggles all day long after reading that.
To be fair to Kate, the first two dates announced for the 10th anniversary special were done by TLC through on-air advertisements. She took it upon herself to announce the October and January dates.
However, the announcements/postponements by TLC themselves of the earlier dates should be a shot across the bow for Kate that even if she was told January there is no guarantee they will air then either. January is a long time away and much could change before then.
I don't think TLC is participating in this latest rush of news. Kate got the People photo shoot and article together in anticipation of an October airing hoping it would trigger the TLC marketing department to get her on the morning talk show circuit. That didn't happen and now Kate has a steady trickle of negative stories with nobody around to protect her.
What I will never understand is why Kate thought it would be good publicity to put Colin's situation front-and-center in the People article. She knows filming is a major factor in Colin's issues; way too many people have noticed his withdrawal on camera for years. Did she really think she would come across as the good mother for sending her son away to a behavioral facility when any other parent would have moved heaven and earth to keep him at home with his family?
I did submit a comment to TLC to please consider cancelling her show as the need to feed her narcissism should not supersede the Heath and welfare of those children who lives have been exploited for the last 12 years....yes most of it has been at the hands of the parents, but another season after the awful way Collin has been treated places more blood on the hands of TLC.
Fade2black (#165), "docuseries" is a knee-slapper, isn't it? Just look at the picture at the top of this blog post and see just how unreal the "realest reality" is.
I saw some ads about a new show coming up on TLC--one of those ghost-hunting shows. It certainly looks like they are trying to branch out and get away from the reality genre. Maybe they have been bitten too many times to continue to put all their eggs in the same basket.
It seems that they are anxious to give their new shows a try, but keeping their old shows (like K+8) on standby to fill in the gaps. I am really curious about what the ratings will be for this new season. They were now very good last season, and then there was new system put in place to calculate ratings. Once that happened, ratings for all shows jumped by quite a bit, but then dropped to normal (lower) levels after a few weeks. Without some weird new calculations to inflate the numbers, plus the news about Collin, this might be a pretty dismal season. Can't wait to see!
PSAT is a measure of what your strengths and weaknesses are and what you do need to brush up on for the SAT or ACT. I agree that you don't need to study unless there is pressure (from mom) to do well on the PSAT. I think Mady threw that out there to let people know that college is approaching, i.e. she's mature. Using the description "toxic" sounds like something from Kate's mouth. I agree with Dr. Glass...Mady has been poisoned by her mother.
I believe that Colin's problems were ignored for years for fear of disrupting the filming schedule. I agree with MikeB that parents move heaven and earth to help their child. I know I did. I did not let any issues (like my son stuttering in elementary school) get blown up. He was immmediately enrolled with a speech therapist and the issue was resolved. Shame on Kate.
Haters Back Off Netflix, 10/14 Colleen Ballinger makes the transition from YouTube personality (the title is her online alter ego’s catchphrase) to Netflix star with this comedy centered on her quirky, tone-deaf, absurdly untalented creation, Miranda Sings. ======== Maybe TFW is going to try and get herself (or Mady) a guest shot on this new show. After all, she loooooves Miranda Sings and knows all about haters.
Found another cooking show I'd never seen before with celebrity guest judges: Beat Bobby Flay. It's in its 9th season, but no one has tried to get famous cookbook author TFW a gig? Man, this woman can't get a non-TLC job to save her life.

Oh, it's a good show! I always check to see the schedule for Chopped, and Bobby often follows it. I'm really enjoying it. I've been a watcher for quite some time. Most times he wins, but it's interesting to see the competition.
I think it's rather funny to think that if Kate just threw another premier date out there, as she's done before, and it doesn't happen AGAIN, it will look pretty bad. Who knows. I don't think they're still filming for nothing.
**********
I have to LOL at the thought that they may be filming for episodes that are intended to be seen by no one but audiences overseas. And, that TFW is clueless about it.
She knows filming is a major factor in Colin's issues; way too many people have noticed his withdrawal on camera for years. Did she really think she would come across as the good mother for sending her son away to a behavioral facility when any other parent would have moved heaven and earth to keep him at home with his family?
**********
I don't think TFW believes there is anything detrimental about filming and exploiting her family. I don't think she sees anything negative about it and has seen no negative impacts of it on her kids. IMO she's chosen to be blind to any negative impacts of filming on her family.
As for her thinking she would be seen as a good mother for sending her son away? Yes, I think she feels exactly that. I don't think she is open to considering opposing views or choices and as has been opined by many, I think she took the out of sight/out of mind choice and wasn't willing to put in the hard work needed to get C treatment at home (especially earlier when he first started to exhibit the behavior). I don't think she is willing to change her life and routine (including filming, of course) for C or any of her children.
I'm hoping there is a silver lining in all of this though, that C being treated at an inpatient facility is actually what ends up being best for him. I hope he learns the tools he needs to stand up for himself to his mother and others in a healthy way.
I was watching the debate off and on, while talking with my brother. It was so upsetting for me, I was jumping out of my skin. My brother couldn't understand why this was bothering me so much.
Three days later I finally realized what the problem was. That might as well have been my ex.
That's exactly how my ex behaved when we were with the judge. Interrupting, shouting over the judge (and his own attorney). He knew better than everyone else. There were only two ways to proceed, his way and the wrong way.
I didn't say a word, just was thinking, "Keep it up buddy. You're going to get a contempt of court in a minute."
And sure enough, the judge finally had enough of it and told him that if he uttered another word there were going to be big problems for him. His attorney had to ask to take a break, and then came back without him! His attorney, hat in hand, was apologizing profusely to the judge and promising that it wouldn't happen again.
It wouldn't have been good to laugh, but I wanted to.
"Docuseries"? Ha ha ha! I'm going to have the giggles all day long after reading that. ****** That's some serious National Geographic sh*t right there ;-)

I hope her target audience is older (thinking yes on Netflix). A very quirky recommendation is "Fleabag" on Amazon. It's reminiscent of "Miranda" (another talented British comedian and actor-if you've ever watch "Call The Midwife"). Fleabag is just a wee tad edgier. Well, a lot edgier. OK, a bit vulgar ;-)
I remember a similar Bobby Flay show called Throwdown. Food Network would do a fake filming of a famous local restaurant and Bobby would suddenly show up and challenge the owners to a contest making the restaurant's signature dish. It was very entertaining and the local chef usually won.

In his speech, he thanked his mother for helping him, and encouraging him to find, and use, his voice.
Without some weird new calculations to inflate the numbers, plus the news about Collin, this might be a pretty dismal season. Can't wait to see! ***** I expect Kate's numbers to take a significant decrease. The episodes are repetitive and Kate's popularity has all but disappeared. Back in the day, when she was the tabloid media queen, the haters benefitted her because they kept her relevant. Now, people don't love to hate Kate. They either nothing her, or express shear disgust for her continuing to exploit her kids with the cumulative negative stories, from the divorce, to the media-circus-driven nasty post-divorce drama, to 2 kids getting kicked out of kindergarten (ffs), to seeing a particular child grow into an impertinent mini-me, to half the kids losing their relationship with their father, to Colin suffering from behavioral problems so bad, that he has been put in an institution. I don't know how anyone can watch now without needing to take a shower afterwards.

kateplusmy8 Oh she does have a doggy sofa bed but she moves all over the room! And she stopped sleeping IN my bed a few weeks ago... I don't know why (too hot I think) but I beg her to sleep in my bed but she just hops down now (sob)! @desquitadomaureen @miloandjack2016
miloandjack2016 Well don't despair...mine went thru stages like that. When it gets wintertime...and the floor area gets colder I look for her to get back up there w/you! @kateplusmy8. 😃
"I beg her to sleep in my bed"---really? If true, how bizarre. Wonder why Shoka and Mak don't get the same treatment. Or does she beg them, too? Her fixation on this new dog is just odd.
Kate thinks Nanuq doesn't sleep on her bed anymore because it's too hot? Yet she covers her with a blanket. Right. I think all this dog cr*p, pardon the pun, is strictly for show. She's desperately trying to seem like a caring person, especially since all the flack she's received for announcing Colin's placement elsewhere. She was in the process of remaking herself before the Colin news, and now she has to try harder.
Wonder why Shoka and Mak don't get the same treatment. ======== Because they are smelly boy dogs. Her puppies were born the day before mine and if Mak is anything like my boy the "red rocket" just pops out for no reason when he's sitting around chilling out. He's not excited or anything, it's just three. I give him a nudge and tell him "put that away no one wants to see it" and it's gone.
I give him a nudge and tell him "put that away no one wants to see it" and it's gone. ***** My bichon awakens with morning wood. "Time to pee!!" OK, tmi.... Our lab started jumping down off the bed to sleep a little while ago. I think she just feels more comfy alone on a bed beside me on the floor. She volunteered, and frankly, DH and I are not at all unhappy with her decision!
Remember Mady said the only thing she enjoyed about school was that they don't have to wear uniforms in the upper grades. She agreed Cara was the smarter of the two so I don't think she's a big scholar who would be worrying over the PSATs.
"I beg her to sleep in my bed"---really? If true, how bizarre. Wonder why Shoka and Mak don't get the same treatment. Or does she beg them, too? Her fixation on this new dog is just odd.
*******************
Maybe she feels guilty about sending Colin away and she has transferred those feelings to the dog and she is trying to comfort and nurture the dog because she didn't to Colin. Subconsciously.
I would be a miracle for Mady if she did get a National Merit scholarship after living in the hell in that compound for years and being verbally and physically abused by her mother.

(so many, 'just the tip' jokes would come to mind)
Wow, Tucker's, that is so wonderful about your nephew.
Too bad TFW doesn't have an ounce of compassion in her rocking body (according to Milo) to even care. Would rather keep the status quo and film for money and a narcissism fix come hell or high water.
I hope and pray Colin is happy, getting better and has made new friends and has wonderful, caring people taking great care of him. Hopefully Jon has been able to visit him and his brothers and sisters too.
I would love it if Aunt Jody could go and see him.
Every night in our home -- the same ritual for our Min Pin. We turn off the living room TV and head to the bedroom. Annie dog follows. We ask, "Up, up bed?" or "Your bed?" Sometimes she snuggles into her own bed and sometimes she hops on the side of our tall bed. I have no idea which options on which nights pleases her.
Hubby has been in Illinois for harvest. Annie and I are here in Texas. Since hubby has been gone, she makes the choice of 'up, up bed" every night. She makes sure that she is always touching me in some way.
I would find the absence of my husband much harder to deal with if I did not have a 5 pound, 8-year-old dog to keep me company.
PS: Hubby is somewhat fearful that I will rescue another dog during his absence. He is only partially on target!
PS: Hubby is somewhat fearful that I will rescue another dog during his absence. He is only partially on target! ***** Awww! Our bichon snuggles all night long. Me or DH. Usually DH because I flip-flop, twist and turn a lot. They are a great comfort when I'm alone. But, two is enough. They love each other and our household is happy. For now...... ;-)
I truly believe all this dog love is lies. She smiles for a picture or makes up comments about loving the puppies and sleeping with them. It's all acting. Most of the pics are probably taken by the kids based on her instructions. Then the dogs go back to the basement or back outside.
Our Annie. We used to have 3 Min Pins. Now, Annie is an only child. I have connected with a small dog rescue organization here in Texas. I am waiting for the fall-in-love-moment. Hubby is less invested in getting another dog for our family. His reasons are rational. My reasons are emotional.
What about adopting an older or middle-aged dog? Then your DH wouldn't have to deal with the puppy days and you would have a lovely trained furry companion.
OT to dog people: Have you all heard about the pit bull ban/ muzzling law in Montreal? So sad for owners. And those dogs without homes will be euthanized.
Just wondering said... Well, what were the terms of their contract? Don't the kids receive 15% and that percentage is split 8 ways? And Kate can use their money for school, food, clothing, and medical bills?
No. The G kids get X amount of dollars per episode. (We do not know the amount.). Of that X, 15% is put away in their trusts. The kids are only guaranteed by law that 15% will be put aside in a trust. However, that 15% can be used toward their schooling and expenses.
The other 85% could be controlled by Kate, or could also be put into trusts for the kids. But it does not have to be. So where the 85% goes is anyone's guess.
Kate gets her own separate salary. They aren't all lumped in together as a family in one paycheck.

And of course TFW filed for divorce, not Jon. She was not abandoned and left hopelessly alone to put food in 8 mouths. She. Dumped. Him.
The divorce also wasn't some natural disaster, like a flood or tornado, that left TFW widowed and homeless and bewildered and left to take care of her family by herself. She has a living, breathing ex-husband who is a willing and capable father. For the hundredth time, if she is all alone, she has only herself to blame.
*****
As if all this stuff just 'happened' to Kate and she had no part in the making of this situation. I think Colin has a real medical problem, that was exacerbated by lack of proper intervention for many years. His being admitted to an inpatient program is probably the best thing for him, because he's not mired in the problems of home, in the drama, in the 'chaos' of 7 other kids and a menagerie, of filming and of peering eyes from the media and fans.
I'm certain that it's best that professionals can peel away the many layers of compounding problems and comorbidities by having Colin outside of the home and Kate's influence.

As Concerned Chick astutely pointed out on Twitter, putting it on the cover of People magazine doesn't look much like wanting to keep it private

I know! Think about it. This wasn't Kate's PR person releasing a statement. This was the cover of People magazine with Colin missing, and right there under all their lily-white-clad smiling faces is the headline, "The reason Colin, 12, is spending time away".
Private, my ass.
Kate made sure to release this story in a manner that would garner her, and her show, as much media attention as possible.
Not to mention the hefty paycheck she collected for the photos that went along with that edition.
Oh, the photo shoot that was so hard on her that she had her little kids massaging her feet and legs at the end of the day.

Kate has sole legal custody of all 8 kids. That means she gets to decide everything without Jon. He would have to fight her in court for whatever he doesn't want her to do with the kids.

And not one mention of Colin. No one has any idea how long he's been away, or if he gets to come home, or if he gets to have his family visit.
But, good thing for everyone that Kate keeps us in the loop about her puppies' grooming routine and making sure we know how warm and happy they are, safely ensconced in her bed every night.
I mean, is it just me?
Kate shouldn't need to give any specific information about Colin's diagnosis, prognosis or treatment, but ffs, if you tell the world you sent him away, your should follow up so the same people who needed to know that in the first place know he's OK.
God knows how long Colin's been away at this point.
Tucker's Mom has left a new comment on your post "Kate and the kids seen filming at Target":
Blame your government if you don't like it. :) Not the poor not paying taxes, or the rich taking deductions either! :)

I was trying to make the point (not so effectively!) that there are a lot of people who don't pay taxes, but benefit from the infrastructure etc. that the tax payers like me pay for.
It's impossible to make the argument that non-tax payers shouldn't use public amenities because it's not realistic.

Ah. Good point. If trump can't use any govt services then no one who doesn't pay should ether.
Speaking of pants, has anyone tried lularoe leggings? Oh, my gosh.
Ok, So I have experience with Lularoe. I saw their baseball tees, The Randy, one night on FB and went a little crazy. I bought one. Then I joined many online FB groups to find others. I soon found that you can't always find the print or size you want. So I turned to Ebay. That is where the cute prints or unicorns, as the say at Lularoe go to be marked up. That second one came and the fabric was completely different. The company tells you to hand wash this flimsy poly/rayon fabric, inside out. If not the garment will pill and fall apart. Bad sign. So then I ordered a third one and told the consultant I was looking for the type of fabric from the first one I ordered...more of a cotton with some spandex. The third Randy tee came. It was much bigger than the other 2 and very stretchy. Hmmm, ok. I like the style, the color, maybe I will put it in the dryer for literally 45 seconds and see if I can shrink it a bit. The fabric got burning hot, bad smell. It didn't shrink or get ruined but I imagine 10 more seconds my dryer would have caught fire. The fourth one came and it was a hideaous print, again, a different type of fabric that Roe tries to market that these clothes are exclusive etc...they only make 1200 of one item then it's gone. In the meantime I ordered one pair of their "buttery" soft leggings. Yes, they are soft but they are like Wal Mart leggings. Very much a camel toe. Again, it's quality people. I wouldn't even wear those as PJ's. You can't get your money back with LulaRoe, only a size change. They also market to the overweight women as these clothes are all stretchy. They make outfits of huge ugly floral and prints and tell you to mix and match. Tucker, you may like them because they definitely make huge oversized tunics to cover the buns. My Randy obsession came and went. The one shirt fabric I really like is the only one I wear. The other three have "grown". It is a multi tiered marketing business and all the selling is done on facebook either looking through albums of pictures of clothing or live sales. You can read more about them online. Very controversial LDS owned company who outsources all the manufacturing to poor South American countries or CHINA. My advice would be, don't get sucked in. It isn't worth the money and you never know the fabric you will get.

I've never bought t-shirts that actually fall apart in the wash until recently. I've had to literally throw a couple pieces away after wearing them once.
Fabric quality and workmanship has declined across the board.

Tamara, your comment about Trump (Donnie) is your opinion and not necessarily everyone elses. I happen to believe that if the professional politician who has been scrambling for this her entire life is the worst thing that can happen to our country. Trump is not much better, but at least he doesn't carry her baggage.

What do you think of how Kate's been dressing since she shed her Christian patina? I'm curious to know from someone of your faith and background.
I'm with you Indie. The leggings do look like they are of a better quality - not thin. I like the pattern on the pants, and the top balances the pattern. Her top comes down to about wrist length - It's not like she is wearing a half shirt outside her home. She's wearing what a lot of women wear out to do shopping errands.
“This has been extremely heartbreaking for Kate,” the source says, adding that she has rejected help from friends in an effort to keep the battle private.
&&&&
It is stubborn and immature to reject help from family and friends because you want to keep things "private." And wait a second, if family and friends offered to help, then they know something is wrong. How would they know anything is wrong if you've been keeping it private? They know anyway, so what's the point in rejecting help? And is she implying that family and friends would run to the tabloids with this? (You know, like she as the mother did?) Nice little narrative they tried to float, but little of it adds up.
This line from the Radar source is kinda confusing because is the source trying to make us feel sorry for Kate for rejecting her family for help?the source says, "adding that she has rejected help from friends in an effort to keep the battle private. “She is really struggling.”So the source is saying Kate's excuse for rejecting family is to keep it private?What?Whoever this source is clearly needs to take off their rose colored glasses.
Admin (#17), yeah, pulling the privacy card is laughable from a woman who shared with the world which of her children crumpled into a heap when
she found out her parents were splitting up.
You can't write a book of personal letters to
your children called "I Just Want You To Know"
and then claimed you give half a hoot about privacy. Nice try.
Trump had a golf tourney and 1 million to anyone that made a hole in one. Well one lucky guy did it! He did not get the million but he got a check for just over $100,000.
********************
Well, then, Donnie owes him another 900K.
When you have a golf tournament and say if you get a hole in one, you BUY a insurance policy to cover it just in case someone does get a hole in one!
It might cost 25K or a little more, but it would pay out if someone did.
And, I am sure Donnie would take that expense off as a charity deduction.

That "high moral ground" excuse is way, way, way in Kate's rear-view mirror.
And wait, if everyone always leaves Kate, why is she rejecting the help she decries she doesn't get or always leaves?
So many holes in this b.s.
My guess the "source" is her makeup buddy, Deanna.
TLC stinks (#22), kind of easy to narrow down the choices, isn't it? I know Jeff Millionaire didn't need rent money, but maybe Deanna does?
It has to be a serious condition for a child to be sent away, particularly with "anger issues" perhaps related to autism, psychosis or behavioral personality disorder. It would not surprise me given Kate's personality, hatred of Jon espoused by her to the kids, and putting the family's life on TV. My hope is that once Collin completes the program he can return home and absolutely NOT be filmed. It remains to be seen what is going on with Alexis, Hannah, Mady and Cara. Kate refuses to put the mental health of her kids first and shame on TLC for enabling this.
If Kate thinks cutesy pictures of the dogs makes everything ok, she needs counseling herself.

I've never bought t-shirts that actually fall apart in the wash until recently. I've had to literally throw a couple pieces away after wearing them once.
Fabric quality and workmanship has declined across the board.
-------------------------
About 10 years ago, my daughter had a Speedo swimsuit that fell apart (though not immediately). It was sewed with the wrong thread, and the thread deteriorated over time. First one side of the seams got all fuzzy, then they fell apart. I fixed it several times; the last time, I re-sewed every seam that I hadn't already done, as it was easier to reinforce them than to try to get everything back together after a seam failure.
That kind of thing can happen, even with a "good" (and expensive) brand. Of course she didn't have the original bill. I thought about contacting them anyway, as it was obviously a Speedo, but it was easier to just sew it up!

I call bullshit. Collin might have anger issues, but the fault for that stems largely from Mommy Dearest. Time to stop blaming the divorce, seven years on.
-----
It's as if she had nothing to do with the divorce. It happened TO her while she was slaving away being Mother Theresa to eight, count 'em, eight small helpless children. Does she forget that she filed? That she chose to happily make it a TV sensation? That she's made is as toxic as possible for her former husband? It's like she's living in a bubble dimension cut off from the rest of us.
Yes, you did. You stated that there was absolutely nothing wrong with taking advantage of the tax system and pay NOTHING in taxes. That means there is nothing wrong with allowing others of lesser means to subsidize your use of those services because that is precisely what you are doing.
$$$
You are making an incredible leap in logic that makes no sense. The fatal flaw in your strange reasoning is that whether or not a person takes a tax break does not affect the tax rate for other people. If me passing on a deduction means you suddenly only pay a 8 percent rate instead of 10, your reasoning might actually make sense. I said there is nothing wrong with taking a legal deduction available to you. That is different than opining on whether the deduction itself is proper.
Are you not understanding that passing on a deduction does not mean the extra money rains down on the poor?
Not to get too in the weeds of a political discussion, (and I am not American, so I only know a little about your tax laws, etc), but is the tax system not progressive? I understand deductions can affect that, but isn't the difference between their plans deductions vs. benefits?
To give a "poor" family a large deduction for childcare, etc. is great, but that only happens once a year. They still have to struggle to pay during the year, and then get the deduction at tax time.
And we take all the deductions we can during tax time, but at some point, don't we all have to pay for all the resources we use?
I don't want to get too involved, as this is not my government, and I have my opinions as a "foreigner", which I will keep to myself.
Does she forget that she filed?
******
But Tamara, Kate HAD to file, right then and there, just hours before the ratings-bonanza episode aired! She had to make sure that she had the knife stuck in Jon's back twisted just a bit more by having TLC scroll a message after the episode ended, which implied that Kate had to RUN, not walk, but RUN to the courthouse to file because Jon did something so terrible that she had to act to protect the children.
From the get go, Kate set out to take Jon down and take him down HARD. As far as self-serving, shitty, ballsy, malicous moves go, it was brilliant.
That is complete BS about Kate feeling she wants to keep things private and not accept help. Nothing here is private. She put that crap in People magazine. Then if she accepted help from family, what would they learn? Hmmmm? It's shameful only if you've been doing shameful things. For ex., having a son with autism or anger issues is nothing to be ashamed of. If he got worse because you beat him or refused to love him, you should be ashamed. Would they see the separate room for Colin and find it awful?
I find myself in tough situations a lot with my illness. If I'm really ill and call someone for a ride to the hospital, they might come to my house and find it messy and needing a cleaning because I've been too sick to do it. Because I am family, they say nothing and take me to the doctor. Often when I come home they have cleaned up. I am grateful for the help. When casual acquaintances ask how I'm doing, of course I want to be private and I say things are a little tough but I'll be ok. I don't broadcast it to the world!
Kate is just trying to get some sympathy since the People article didn't work. Boo hoo. She has money and paid help and a bodyguard. She doesn't seem to need any help from "friends".
Although not many people can bothered to comment on Kate stories anymore, every comment on the Radar article (except for those about earning $7500/mth, lol) is against Kate. They are all clear on who's at fault with respect to Collin's issues. So it seems like this was kind of a major miscalculation on the part of the "insider." Keep your mouth shut, Kate, and stick to the stupid puppy photos.

I could use a primer too ;-)
I mean, I know enough, but not all the nuances.
Which is why there are tax lawyers, I guess.

They know anyway, so what's the point in rejecting help? ..
----------------
Because They don't know How to help her!!
All she wants from anyone is money, power, & fame. If you have none of those to offer she has no use for you..
I've noticed a pattern. When there are derogatory tabloid articles about Kate, some mysterious "source" leaks rebuttal or sympathetic info soon after. Jeff Prescott unloads and next thing you know, a close insider contacts Radar.
It infuriates me that Kate is using Collin to garner sympathy. She did not have to go through anything alone, which I don't believe anyway. The one thing I do know is that no extended family members were involved in any way helping Collin. She also kept him from Jon so blaming Jon is ridiculous.
Most if not all of the D-listers leak to the tabloids.
Somehow, "insiders" on Jon's side have no clue what they're talking about, but Kate's "insiders" never get a rebuttal from her.
Hmm...
@Sad but true (31)Your comment reminds me of this other comment tucker's mom said about how people can still be blinded by Kate.Which i'll answer,the thing is tucker's mom most people do think Kate is horrible as a mother and person.To be honest i actually thought we were starting to become a small group of the same 24/7 haters back in late 2014 to early 2015.Back then i don't know if was just me but on tabloids there seemed to have been alot of Kate fans back then.But once the new episodes started airing and some didn't get over 1 million thats when i realize that were not a small minority,especially since the comments in regards to Kate's people magazine had alot of brutal comments that were against her.The problem i think is that we read Kate's TL and IG and see plenty of likes and followers of Kate that do make some think that Kate has alot of fans.Heck even milo tries to use that as an argument to try to prove that Kate is loved by so many.
Ummmm...she might want to avoid the puppy pictures now too

I know. Slow day after Brangelina died down?
I knew that photo was innocent, but really dumb to post because of the optics and context of Kate's whole, sorry saga.
I think it's rather humiliating to post that of a 12-year old, but she wasn't locking him in.
That said, Kate should know better than to post it.
Agree. Plus Aaden has fingers unlike a dog. He could easily get out.Of course the dumb photo opp was TFW's idea I'm sure, how cute- not. That was silly and of course a story was made of it. I must say she is getting publicity out of all this nonsense plus from Collin's plight.
Maybe Nookie Pookie sold the story to Radar herself, to punish TFW for giving her such a nauseating nickname?
Im not defending Kate but i think Radar is going overboard a bit.Come on,its a photo of Aaden with the dog in the cage.This reminds me of when people were going crazy over the photo of mady trying on Kate's shoes and you can see mady's legs.People for some reason claimed that the photo was every pedophile's dream photo or that Kate was trying to attract pedophiles.
If you want to applaud the 1% for taking a free ride on the backs of others because the law allows them to do so, have at it, but stop telling me that there isn't a difference in values, when clearly there is one.
&&&&
I think rich, middle class, poor, whatever, if the government has handed you a coupon, it is a legal coupon, and it doesn't hurt anyone else to take it, you should take the coupon without fear of condemnation from the self righteous. You can then take the money you save with the coupon and put it to a whole hell of a lot better use than the government has.
There is a difference in values. And that is that I think private people know how best to spend their money, and that it shouldn't be turned over to the government to spend on pork. There is a difference in values. I don't think legal coupons should be sneered at by the morally superior. Question, what do you do to help people who are struggling? Or do you just sneer at people's tax returns and legal deductions all day. That line of the debate was outright pathetic and you know it.

I agree, but I don't know what Kate can do about it. She put it out there because she has a sick need for attention.
For "likes" and comments to stroke her ego.
Can you imagine what it's like to be Aaden and not only does your mom put that photo on social media, but then, you're splashed on Radar in a story that implies your mother locked you in a dog crate?
I can't imagine the burden of that.
I know that the photo of Aaden in the crate is innocent but if you look you'll see that it is latched (locked?). I don't crate dogs so I don't know if that's something that automatically happens when you close the door or if it's something that Kate did (so the door would close completely) when she told him to get in there for the picture.
Kate published the photo and it was stupid to begin with. A kid in a cage is NOT GOOD optics even if it was an innocent photo op. I saw nothing cute about it. A toddler with a dog (definitely not in a cage) is super cute. I love the YouTube videos.
Sue said... 47
No, those crates do not latch automatically.
I agree that Radar's subsequent story on Aaden is overkill and unfortunately dilutes the impact of the earlier one. ROL is just as tone-deaf as Kate.
I don't understand why the crate's door was latched anyway. Usually the dog is taught this his safe place where he can come and go unless it is necessary to crate him. She latched them in the crate for no reason other than a photo op. I agree it was a dumb story in Radar but she embarrassed Aaden, IMO.
There is now one Kate-positive comment on the ROL Collin article, and it's the same old fan BS. "Jon spanked them, too." Perhaps. But he didn't beat the crap out of two-year-olds, I'm pretty darned sure of that. And "Oh there's a reason why Jon hasn't seen Collin in two years, he just won't tell you." This all came straight from that brief series of Deanna Bell tweets of 10 months ago. And that's all they got, right down to the approved language ("toxic").
"Jon also spanked the kids. If Jon cared about his kids he wouldn't go two years without seeing his son. There's a reason for that but Jon won't admit it.
A friend of the family tweeted that Jon lied in interviews about visitation. Only some of the kids got Christmas presents from him.
Hopefully as Hannah gets older she won't let her manipulative dad play on her sympathy.
Mady spoke the truth. Her dad is toxic."
WHAT I FIND DISTUBING ABOUT THE PHOTO.
If Kate asked Aaden to keep Nanuq company for a few minutes while she cleaned her area, why didn't Aaden take Nanuq into another room or outside? A 6 year old would get into a crate with their dog, not a 12 year old.
If Aaden went into the crate on his own at 12 years old this is another example of how CHILD ABUSE can cause serious problems with normal emotional growth.
It is my opinion that ALL of the children's emotional maturity has been stunted due to abuse.
Did Kate coerce Aaden into doing this so Mommy Dearest could have another photo op? If it wasn't a photo op, why would Aaden be smiling and looking at the camera?
In my world I don't know of any 12 year old that would consent to having their photo taken in a dog crate!

A human could latch and unlatch from the inside. It doesn't auto latch.
That said, mine have a top and bottom latch, just to ensure the dog can't get out.
As awful as it was for Radar to post the photo of Aaden in the dog crate was, I bet Kate is basking in the pity from people in the comment section.
And for anyone not real familiar with dogs, it's really not a good idea to let any kid (or stupid adult) put themselves in a crate with a dog or puppy.
Dogs have a fight or flight response and if they can't flee, as in, they are confined in a very small space and the dog feels a threat, they may very well fight, which means biting.
It is a very bad example and not cute at all to teach kids they they can help themselves to a dog's very private space, especially when the dog in in there.
The crate is a den and a tool and is not a toy.
*off soap box*
In my world I don't know of any 12 year old that would consent to having their photo taken in a dog crate!
*****
Agree. At 12, I would have considered that being treated like a baby.
I guess we question this because we have to ask why a 12 year old would climb into a dog crate? Dog crates are not something anyone would want to climb into. Like CS said, a normal situation would be for Aaden to take the dog into another room. My feeling is those dogs absolutely do not have run of the house despite what Kate wants fans to think.

I think little kids, like 5 or 6 year olds would think it's fun to "play dog" in the dog's crate. By 12, and certainly after being a dog owner with Shoka for many years, Kate would have some modicum of common sense when it comes to dogs.
The dog crate is not a Barbie play house or fort. 12-year olds should be telling that to younger kids, not doing it themselves.
Remember the Sloppy Joels photo with his face smeared with tomato sauce? Same thing. Degrading and silly to portray these kids as objects of ridicule just for a photo.

Actually, after this boy and puppy in a dog crate photo has been splashed on Radar, I'm thinking about another really bad decision of Kate's of letting a little boy crawl under an enormous van while it was running.
I think the dog crate photo has another meaning.
I think TFW took the picture with a boy tup in the dog crate and locked it to give Jon a huge blank you that his other son is in a facility where he can't see him.
She had to put the pup in with the boy tup so it wouldn't look that obvious.
James, the picture she took with Mady and the high heels was SO WRONG to put on the internet.
It was disgusting, vile and stupid.
But, what else is new from her?

This video documents 43 minutes of Kate's Mental Illness and Abuse towards her Children.
Why haven't charges been filed against Kate, TLC, Discovery Health Channel, Figure 8 and any other individual connected with the taping of Jon & Kate Plus 8 and Kate Plus 8?
Each of them witnessed the abuse and never reported it.
The proof is in this video. What more is needed?

That would involved Kate understanding what an allusion is ;-)
I don't think Kate put the pic of Mady in high heels to purposely to attract pedophiles, but I do think it was in poor taste. And once people pointed it out she should have removed it. But Kate doesn't seem at all concerned about pedophiles or perverts ogling her children.
I agree, Tucker's Mom. It occasionally happens, unfortunately, that a family pet reacts instinctively and someone gets hurt. As much as we love our pets and they love us, they are still animals. Kate really is an idiot. I would not have allowed my child into a dog's crate because it is supposed to be their safe area. Aaden could have been bitten.

========
I think you're reading too much into it. My opinion is that she thought it would be cute when she staged the picture. It wasn't. My puppy has a playpen (fabric, roundish with two openings) and it's his "cave". He puts his special things that he doesn't want us to touch in it. AND he will be right on top of us if we crawl part way in to retrieve a shoe. As others have said, the crate should be the dog's special place. Also, as others have said, I think if a 12 year old was told to get the dog out of the way, the child would naturally take the dog out of the room.
It's a good idea generally not to joke around about things like putting your kid in a dog crate. If you do it, don't take a photo of it.
Problem is stuff like that can get really twisted around by CPS. I had a very similar "locking in dog crate" issue years ago. The parents insisted it was a joke, and it may very well have been. But far too much time was spent trying to explain something that never should have happened in the first place.

I really doubt that Kate would even think of that. She thought it would be cute to put it on the internet, and so she staged the picture and posted it. Sometimes an apple is just an apple, even though you try to find a hidden meaning in its core!

I think this is one I have still yet to recap. Not sure when it will happen, life is crazy.
I have the same latch on my dog crate.
It would be a little harder to unlatch it from the inside, it's designed that way so a really smart dog can't figure it out. But a human could make it work by sticking their fingers through the bars. My dog has never taken in interest in trying to get out of his crate. For instance I had to crate him today because the carpets were being cleaned. But even if he tried the latch is very, very tight. I usually have to kind of hit it with my hand to get it to pop out.
Not to get too in the weeds of a political discussion, (and I am not American, so I only know a little about your tax laws, etc), but is the tax system not progressive? I understand deductions can affect that, but isn't the difference between their plans deductions vs. benefits?
To give a "poor" family a large deduction for childcare, etc. is great, but that only happens once a year. They still have to struggle to pay during the year, and then get the deduction at tax time.
&&&
I am a nerd who finds taxes interesting, and I also find it interesting the way people have been manipulated about the state of our tax code. Well done, politicians.
Contrary to some of the lies put out there, generally, poor people pay very little in taxes, and the more income you make the more you pay. A rich person can pay a quarter to a half in income, and most do.
What Hillary has a complaint about is Trump being able to shave off business taxes, legally. She she is talking about corporate and business taxes, which can be favorable, and allow a lot of various, LEGAL ways to bring down your tax bill. If you funnel all your money through your corporations, which can also be legal if you do so correctly, it's a way to shield your money from regular man taxes.
There are a lot of very good reasons to give businesses favorable tax rates. A big one is to encourage them to stay in the U.S. Another big one is to pad them with extra money they could very well use for raises, bonuses, and to hire more people.
While the other side likes to simplify the argument (the rich are taking from the poor!) they refuse to acknowledge that the poor work for all these businesses, and that without favorable tax rates, it very often means less money in everyone's pocket, not just the CEO.
Economically, I am a big supporter of being as friendly as possible to U.S. businesses small and large in all manners as I believe it helps everyone. I don't believe rich people are any more evil than poor people (I'll show you some evil poor people), and I don't believe the vast majority of rich people are bad for everyone else. If you tax Trump into oblivion he'll say fine I'll pack up and go to Mexico, set up shop there. All of a sudden thousands are without jobs, and that's not good either. Look what happened to Apple, Kodak, and several car companies. I don't buy into the simple argument that all problems will be solved if we just tax the rich and their businesses at 90% and make them pay for everything. That's been tried before in other countries, and it's resulted in financial ruin.
Tax breaks for businesses, especially when we're talking about the smaller ones, is often the difference between being able to set it up here or abroad. For even smaller businesses, it's often the difference between being able to set up the business at all and live the American dream. But yes by all means, businesses are evil and rob money from the poor.
There is something about this anonymous source that calls in these "responses" to negative articles that suggests they don't really know what is going on. Rather, it has the feel that they are getting their information from Kate, and just believing it and repeating it. And who else has done that before but Deanna?
The comment about not wanting family and friends to invade their privacy sounds like something Kate would lie about to explain why she has no one. The real story is she has no family and friends or what little she does they're not willing to help especially when she would never stop her life to help them.
It is my opinion that ALL of the children's emotional maturity has been stunted due to abuse.
****************
In total agreement. I feel so bad for all of the kids!
But, TFW is immaturely stunted at 13 herself so, maybe as the kids get older they will be more mature than her and then realize what a nut case she really is, all hello will break loose.
And she only has herself to blame because she didn't get any mental help for herself.
I have to gently disagree about the dog cage picture.
TFW knew people would go nuts about it. She doesn't care if the publicity is good or bad, she just craves it.
Her putting the Mady in heels picture. She knew. She is not stupid. She is willing and did gather her kids minus Colin and pose for the cover of People with that smug grin and proclaiming it is a struggle. But she wants privacy.
Like Admin said, you can't have it both ways.
Oh, she tweeted about Bill Blankenship.
Never heard of him! Screamed it on twitter.
Seems like IIRC, a pap asked her about it when she was out and about and she said loudly, Never heard of him!
Jon said, they met him 2 or 3 times. Jon was horrified that he had edited film of the show.
Anything under the sun goes and doesn't bother her as long as she gets paid.
Admin said...174
The real story is she has no family and friends or what little she does they're not willing to help especially when she would never stop her life to help them.
*****************
The main reason why they are not willing to help, even though, you know they desperately want to is that TFW will make their lives a living hello.
If they interfere, she will scorch the earth where they stand.
Just like she did her sister when she gave that interview because TFW scorched her with a story about her husband and embarrassed her, her husband and their children.
She doesn't give a ****.
I have never seen or heard of someone like her with this kind of DEEP bitterness, resentment, revengeful, hateful person in my life. It is just stunning.
Her victim card of me against the world is mind boggling.
I Googled articles about children being locked in dog crates as punishment. Those abusive mothers went to jail. At first I thought the Radar article was nonsense, but the optics of what she did is horrible. She has a total lack of awareness that most people would not find her photo of Aaden amusing in any sense. Now I have no issue about Radar exposing the photo to the public. I feel bad for Aaden used as her prop, but what else is new?
The comment about not wanting family and friends to invade their privacy sounds like something Kate would lie about to explain why she has no one.
***
Wanting privacy is dog whistle for Kate is controlling the narrative (and has no one left) and maybe the situation is so bad that no one would keep their mouth shut if they knew what goes on in the compound.
Not sure.
However, "help" is a rather nebulous term here. What kind of help does Kate need? Colin needs a professional or professionals to treat him. The other kids are 12 and 16, and certainly able to be quite independent. She has an ex-husband and father of her children who can help-if she asks and allows him to.
I'm just not sure what this help is supposed to do for her?
Kate has hired help for the kids, house and property.
This isn't like when the kids were babies and she needed more hands to take care of their every need.
I wonder if she approved today's story.

Selfish Mom?
Kate Gosselin Announces New Season Of ‘Kate Plus 8’ DESPITE Troubled Son Collin’s Treatment!
The reality star could talk about her child's serious issues on TV.
Though her son Collin is in a treatment facility following years of serious behavioral issues, Kate Gosselin refuses to step out of the spotlight!
After nearly a year off the air, the reality matriarch has confirmed that she and her enormous brood will be back for another reason of TLC reality show Kate Plus 8 early next year.
“We are! Full season of Kate Plus 8 returning in January!” the 41-year-old mother of eight responded to an Instagram follower’s comment that the family should return to TV. (The original post was a bizarre photo of her son Aaden in a dog crate.)
Kate’s decision may come as a shock to many fans, as her son Collin, 12, is undergoing treatment in a facility two hours away from home.
Insiders recently told Radar that the boy — who was expelled from elementary school in 2010 for what sources claimed was hurting an adult — suffers from “anger issues” and frequently “lashes out.”
Will Kate document Collin’s battle on the new season? While the answer is still unclear, her son’s very serious troubles have never been off-limits in the past. In August, she announced in a major magazine interview that he was getting professional help for his “special needs,” and once spoke about his “social” and “educational” problems.

Kate’s ex-husband Jon, 39, is sure to be furious with her move to keep the kids, especially Collin, on TV.
This tab doesn't pull any punches. It goes on to ask the questions that others leaves hanging in the air.

What do you think of how Kate's been dressing since she shed her Christian patina? I'm curious to know from someone of your faith and background
As I said, modest is hottest.
Proud Morman
I thought LDS was spelled "Mormon?" Never saw it spelled Morman.
Actually, GollyGee, I do think Kate is that stupid. That's what happens when you isolate yourself and think only of yourself and not about what happens outside your world.

Exactly.
Nobody needed to know that Collin was sent away to a treatment facility.This is entirely Kate's doing because she wanted her narrative public before a new season aired. She and TLC would be questioned why no Collin. This, to me, appears that sending Collin away was a last resort decision because she attempted (as noted by last year's episodes) that Collin was separated from the others, medicated, and omitted from some of the filming. She tried to keep that child filming until there was no other alternative.

BRAVO, Blasting News, BRAVO!
I am not saying this about Colin, but TFW! Talk about pulling no punches! Wow, TKO in the first round!
She must be raging.
People were furious when Kate revealed she put her 12-year-old son in a treatment facility, but now it's revealed just why she did this
Kate Gosselin reveals son's problems to world
Kate Gosselin is in the headlines today because she is "struggling," which is pretty much how this mom of eight has described her life since she first caught the public's eye. She offered up some personal information about one of her children last month, starting a social media storm on Kate's parenting skills, or to be more specific, her lack of parenting skills.
What kind of mother does this?
During an interview Kate revealed that her son Collin has been sent away from home for treatment for his "special needs." This is something other families deal with all over the nation, but unlike other parents this mom of eight stepped up to the microphone, broadcasting her son's plight to the world. This is why people became so furious when hearing that Kate actually offered up the information that her 12-year-old son had been admitted to a facility for treatment of his "special needs," which are revealed as #Anger Issues today.
Sitting duck for taunting and teasing
Collin Goselin is 12, which is such a tough age for kids especially when it comes to peer pressure. He also has five siblings who are 12 and in school around other kids. Kate didn't do her son any favors by releasing this private information about him. This has now singled him out and he'll carry this stigma with him for a long time.
Stigma
Kids can be some of the cruelest creatures on Earth when it comes to taunting, teasing and bullying. Kate's reveal made Collin a target for this. It is not as if Collin and his siblings had a normal childhood as cameras have followed them around from an early age. Jon and Kate's marriage ended in a divorce and one of the main reasons for their divorce was Jon's insistence that the kids be allowed to have a normal childhood by stopping the filming of "Jon and Kate plus 8."
Jon Gosselin still fighting Kate's fame war!
Despite Jon's insistence that the cameras go away and their lives no longer be part of a reality show, it didn't happen. "Kate plus 8" was born and Jon went on his way with years of arguing over custody to follow. So Kate's done it again, instead of keeping Collin's issues within her family and close friends, she uses the child's struggles as an opportunity to put herself in the spotlight.
There is absolutely no shame in having a child with anger issues; where the shame does fall is with the parent who literally exploits that problem and in this case, it was allegedly done so Kate could stay in the headlines. When Kate first announced that Collin was "sent away" for treatment of "special needs," fans of Kate wondered just what "special needs" did Collin have.
Irate dad!
#Jon Gosselin was irate when he first learned that Kate announced to the world that Collin was sent to a facility last month, reports "Radar Online." This was just one more time out of the many that Kate went against his wishes as the other parent when it came to making a decision about the kids. Last month Jon was more than furious that Kate reported on a cover of a magazine about their son's struggles.
She can talk about her problems all she wants, although she has to remember she has children that are teens and preteens. Her kids are at an age where this can be a very turbulent time for a child even under the best of circumstances. So why would Kate want to draw attention to herself and her kids, who may ultimately pay the price of her chasing fame via taunting and teasing from their peers?
People mag used the ROL non-story to run essentially a repeat of their August cover on the Gosselins. I wonder if Kate begged them to do this to somehow legitimize what she put out on Twitter. The headline "Kate Gosselin Confirms New Season of Kate Plus 8 Set to Premiere in January" should really piss off TLC---that's THEIR job.
http://www.people.com/article/kate-gosselin-confirms-new-season-kate-plus-8-january?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
The telltale last line:
"A premiere date for Kate Plus 8 season 5 has not yet been announced by TLC."
Did they even ask TLC to confirm it is coming back? When they have a call in to the network, they usually say so.
GollyGee (#90), boy, do they have TFW's number!
They said, "He'll carry this stigma with him for
a long time." But actually, he'll carry it with
him FOREVER. When the cover of a national magazine broadcasts your emotional challenges
all the world to see, it doesn't get more permanent than that. TFW can never unring
that bell. And for C to have his mother --
his supposed champion, advocate, protector,
and supporter -- grinning on the cover to accompany the announcement? How can that
not be seen as a sickening, self-serving
decision?

What no one seems to have picked up on is that Kate confirmed at least three air dates for new episodes before throwing January out on IG. That should be the real story, along with the fact that her 10-year "special" was never aired on TLC at all, but was thrown online as a pay-per-view.
Sad but true (#94), I'm starting to think the real air date might be "the 12th of never."
Really, the more they delay it, the worse things look. This isn't a house-flipping show, or a construction/remodeling show, where the timing wouldn't make much of a difference. This show features 8 (or 7) kids, knee deep in puberty, whose looks are changing on the regular. Airing footage of them looking so much younger has to make people wonder what took so long.

"Legitimate inside source"? Ya mean Kate? LMAO! The comments on the People piece are 98% scathing.
How many times has Kate posted about new episodes "coming soon", only to have them pushed back over and over?

Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 · Jul 26
@dsmorto #KatePlus8 is coming back in the fall!! October to be exact! See you again then :):) Thanks again!
Then on her IG post, dated 9/17, she posted
"We are! Full season of Kate Plus 8 returning in January! #Yay."
Yet still no confirmation from TLC.
I wonder how TLC feels about the fact not only did Kate state it on IG, but now Radar and People have published her post. I remember how the Busby's stated that they couldn't announce anything about their show returning until TLC made an official announcement.
I think it'd be especially funny, if after this announcement was made more public, via People and Radar, that the shows were again pushed back. That would definitely show Kate's lack of credibility.
She tried to keep that child filming until there was no other alternative.
*****
That's my guess, and as soon as he was safely ensconced in a facility, the filming cranked up to 11.
I think we'll find out that Colin was sent away last spring, and Kate filmed through the summer and fall. In fact, still filming.
Of course, no Milo love-fest would be complete without some reference to Kate's bangin' bod. And isn't it nice that Milo is now the intermediary between Kate and her friend Jamie? Talk about crossing a line.

It makes TLC look like amateurs who don't have their sh*t together.
I think either Kate or "someone" forwarded that tweet to People to make sure it got out publicly to a wide audience about the air date. Not happening if TLC has not confirmed. I smell desperation.
The comments on the People article are 95%+ negative. Do you suppose People knows that will happen when they choose Kate as a subject and just do it to get a reaction?
I always thought when she wore that big fat diamond ring on her engagement finger it was a publicity stunt to stir speculation about her and Jeff at the 2015 Block Party.
That would definitely show Kate's lack of credibility.

This People comment cracked me up. A fan was arguing about why TFW can't get a regular job:
"The childcare costs for 8 children would be astronomical." They are away from home about
8 hours a day. Heck, when I was the tups' age,
I was already babysitting at night on weekends.
Oh, and there are only 7 kids to worry about now.

Me too. Way more mature and responsible at 12.
Funny that People labels K+8 as a "hit show," but that it last aired in January. Wouldn't TLC have made room for episodes of their hit show -- which have already been filmed and edited -- before an entire year passed by?

Struggling.
According to Hollywood Life all the children "are on probation at school". I haven't heard that mentioned before.

What in the world have they been filming that would constitute a whole season? There have been very few Kate sightings. New Orleans in the rain storm and Chicago after the block party is all I remember. If they've been filming around the compound then swimming, driving lessons, and chores are going to get old real quick. The puppies aren't going to carry the show and Kate exploiting Colin's situation won't go over well.
Seems to me Kate is trying to force TLC's hand and guarantee her a slot by January after being kicked to the curb in April, May, and October. At this point I won't be surprised if the new episodes never see the light of day.

-------------------
I think she did it on purpose. I believe she did it on more than one Instagram post. She probably looks through all the comments on instagram so she can delete anything negative. And lately, she's been looking for "when will you be back (etc)" so she can reply with her "news".
I think instagram is a much better medium for Kate than twitter, because she can control the narrative, and that she will abandon twitter, much to Milo's dismay. Though she might possibly still have "twitter parties" if/when new episodes are shown.
I'm loving this lede:
"Kate Plus 8 Tragically Returning in 2017!"
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2016/09/kate-plus-8-tragically-returning-in-2017/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
@MikeB I hope this backfires on her.Just by announcing and reannouncing different airdates even though TLC hasn't said a word only makes Kate look foolish.I get that she has no control over it but DON'T say anything about it until TLC said something.If there are still no episodes by January im certain milo and some others will be harassing TLC.Just the thought of that reminds me of when duggar fans kept whining to TLC not to cancel them and saying they'd cancel their subscriptions with TLC and saying things like"Well at least they aren't like the Kardashians".
Boy, does Kate ever have People magazine/Kate Coyne under her thumb! She sent that tweet about the show airing in Jan quite awhile ago, and they are just now printing it--and making a big story about it. It sure does look like Kate (and People) are trying hard to stir up media attention lately.
The "Outdaughtered" family said they had to wait until TLC made the announcement about a new season before they said anything. Does that rule not apply to Kate? Or maybe she just doesn't care what TLC's rules are. Wouldn't it be funny if TLC delays her season even longer, just to teach her a lesson? I know I'd laugh. Or maybe she's using this announcement to try to force TLC's hand and make them air it already.

You'd think she'd have figured out by now that these decisions are way above her pay grade. When she was cancelled in 2011, they told her the day before announcing it, is that right? And all her whining and moaning about piecin' and patchin' fell on deaf ears. I think she's really playing with fire here, and I hope this time TLC doesn't bother to to phoenix her ass.
Sad but true (#117), you'd think TFW would have learned her lesson when she told the fans not to believe the cancellation rumors, and got axed soon after.
Have any of these tabloids contacted TLC for a comment or confirmation? I would suspect a company on the level of People magazine would fact check and do their due diligence before repeating when a show will air without confirmation.
Especially in light of the fact that this is the third time Kate has announced when her show will air.
Milo's outraged. But the only source for the story she's talking about (Aaden in the crate) was Kate herself on IG. So I'll second that #PatheticSource. But I sure hope she's not in need of $$$.

""""""""
"Wish you guys were still on television," wrote the fan, speaking for only herself." LOL
That's so funny that they made a story about Kate's little comment buried on Instagram. She said they were back in January and all TLC has to do is delay one more month and she looks like a complete idiot.
Back when Kate stories were on Radar constantly, there was a commenter using Betty or Betsy or something like that to constantly defend Kate. It's probably still the same person. I never learned if she was one of the uber-fans on twitter or not.
Kate could definitely have a job. There are many work-from-home nursing jobs doing paperwork or answering phone calls. However, she would have to interview and actually work. Even if she worked outside the home, lots of kids who are 16 and 12 are alone for an hour. I'm sure there's a security system. Just turn it on. She could easily pay someone to come to the home, get the van, and drive the kids home. (Or truly struggling moms send their kids to public or local Catholic school so the big yellow bus brings them home.)
Are the kids on probation at school? Or is Kate on probation? If I worked there, I'd be tempted to tell her if she didn't behave she could take the kids elsewhere.
Maybe all is not as it seems. It may just be K8 and Figure 8 doing the filming hoping that TLC will purchase the additional episodes that she's got in the can. I'm sure that by now she's not commanding the prices that she used to get so she needs to keep filming to keep the money train rolling. She's getting desperate and you can bet there will be more puppy/kid pictures published on instagram hoping to generate interest. And speaking of pictures, what was the deal with the last picture with the dog taking up all of the space on the seat and the kid on the floor? I realize that it was a posed picture but do the dogs now get priority seating in the BBB? Finally, why is it that when there's a negative story about her the fans all scream that Jon's selling stories because he needs rent money. Why don't they ask which inside sources need money when there's a positive story published about K8.
And speaking of pictures, what was the deal with the last picture with the dog taking up all of the space on the seat and the kid on the floor?
WHY don't the kid's have a seat belt on? Oh! Silly me I forgot the rules and the law don't apply to Kate.
@Jeanne (122) It was betty and i've dealt with that person in the past,there was no reasoning with her,she'd blame Jon for everything and make Kate out to be a saint.She said because she's a grandmother that made her an expert on raising kids.She was insane and she'd harass anyone who'd speak negatively about Kate.Some people believe she was msgoody but im not sure.

She COULD have a job, but really, who would hire her? I can't imagine anyone outside of trash TV having the vaguest interest. In this respect, she was quite right when she said, "We can't go back." The fact is, after untold millions have seen the way she conducts herself, SHE very likely can't go back.
I really don't understand the recent filming when the next season is still months off. Wouldn't TLC want to wait and see how the ratings turn out before spending more money on this craptastic display? Why the hurry to film, but no hurry to air what they already have? I know Kate and the kids were filmed at Target last spring--right about the time they were also filmed shopping at Costco. Are they replacing footage that included Collin with footage without him? Maybe they are afraid of being accused of exploiting a child with special needs. It's hard to imagine that Figure 8 would want to take a risk on losing money on filming without anyone on the hook to buy the episodes.

I wonder if Kate's "inside source" gave the story to ROL and People, about the show returning in January. How come when she tweeted about it returning in October, not one tab picked up on it?
Kate mentioned it in the Aaden IG post, and again mentioned it in her current IG post, which was posted yesterday. Yet they used the previous comment, not the one from yesterday. Plus she didn't mention it on twitter at all, which is usually where the tabs get their info from about her.
I think someone in Kate's camp notified the tabs about it, probably with Kate's blessing. Perhaps Milo needs the $$$.
TFW had better buy some more bots because even with her fucketybillion followers she's not getting that many "likes" or comments on Twitter or Instagram.

I have never seen it mentioned here before, but does Milo play on both teams? Not making a judgment, but I am a bit curious because she describes herself as a happily married female, and yet she continues to lust after Kate. I wonder what LOM thinks about her obsession with Kate's body.

If it's a new season of Kate Plus Eight, will Collin be included?
Has there ever been official confirmation that the show has been resurrected after the network cancelled it a few years ago?
This woman just won't go away. I have never seen anything like this. Many years ago we kept hearing "stick a fork in her, she's done." Obviously this hasn't been the case. She really is a Phoenix Rising. Again and again and again. Even Lazarus was raised from the dead only once. Not so with Kate.

&&&&
They are well old enough to be left home alone after school so that's no excuse. I can't tell you how many parents I know who figure out how to connect their job to a school and therefore keep similar hours to the kids. Therapists will get jobs as school counselors, medical professionals as school nurses, or there are many jobs at schools that don't require degrees at all or require any degree. For instance most schools will take anyone with a college degree as a sub.
She could get a job as a school nurse, and keep similar hours to them.

Somehow, that corpse of a show is still walking.
I love all the breathless "The reality star confirmed the news via Instagram that her family docuseries is coming back to TLC in January." Uh, that's at least three months away and, well, it's not exactly UP to Kate. This is one of the biggest non-stories I've ever seen take fire in the tabloid media.

I wonder if she was advised to get out ahead of TLC this time, as opposed to bringing up the [cancelled] rear. If so, that's a helluva gamble.

I wonder if it is in the contracts that if you spill the beans about filming, you get penalized financially.
If anyone was sick they had to film. Even the kids. And if they didn't whoever didn't film didn't get paid. So, how is that working for Colin?

A prospective suitor for Kate. She really does attract them!

Somehow, that corpse of a show is still walking.

Yes, and in that case, I don't think that even a wooden stake through the heart will kill it.

Well, what were the terms of their contract? Don't the kids receive 15% and that percentage is split 8 ways? And Kate can use their money for school, food, clothing, and medical bills? They'll be lucky if they don't end up owing her money.
And of course her money will be stashed in various untouchable trusts far, far away.

I watched a few minutes of the first Leah video and a few minutes of the cheap hair one. I hate her southern accent. And I am from the deep, deep south. It sounds like a fake southern accent that they do in movies and TV.
And I only watched for a total of no more than 5 to 7 minutes and had to stop because of her terrible grammar. I done something. I ain't something. YUCK! She is just what I expected of a stupid Kate fan. Sorry but that is just the way she comes off to me. And why and the heck is she filming her very boring activities.
I doubt that dog was cold and needed to be covered with a blanket. She seems fixated with doing that on those dogs with their thick fur, LOL. Does she think these type of photos affirm her mothering instinct? I think that is what she implies.
Normally your boss (TLC) would announce, via a press release, the date of a new season. I believe someone told her "probably" January and she took it as gospel. I think she blabbed and TLC is probably not pleased because they like to roll out these types of announcements with promos, etc. I think she is pissed about the past delays. She ruined their advertising campaign releasing shows for 2017.
It makes TLC look like amateurs who don't have their sh*t together.
&&&&
Yes and it makes them look like they've lost control of their talent. Talent gone rouge.
Maybe TLC told TFW that the show would air in January IF other shows weren't renewed, or if
new shows weren't put on the schedule. So the network might be annoyed that she spilled this info, which Radar and People then ran with.
That Busby mom showed so much more savvy when
she said she knew about her show earlier, but wasn't allowed to tell. But no never means no
to TFW.
Kate does what Kate wants to do, which is part of the entitlement of narcissism. She will follow TLC"s rules and requests if she wants to. If she doesn't want to, they can F off.
I bet she also figures TLC is too busy to troll her Instagram looking for compliance. I don't think she counted on media picking up her comments. Narcissists also have an irrational certainty that they'll never get caught or if caught will be able to easily escape any consequences.
Admin (#156), and these little leaks/announcements coming from TFW also makes me think she's on her
own -- no publicist, agent, manager or advisor to steer her in the right direction, or help her get the proper information in a timely manner.
Found another cooking show I'd never seen before with celebrity guest judges: Beat Bobby Flay.
It's in its 9th season, but no one has tried to get famous cookbook author TFW a gig? Man, this woman can't get a non-TLC job to save her life.
"It makes TLC look like amateurs who don't have their sh*t together"

It looks to me like TLC told her that if she wants to be on teevee, she better promote herself because they are done with doing it for her.

I don't think Kate planted the "announcement" in her IG hoping that the tabloids would run with it. I think it's rather funny to think that if Kate just threw another premier date out there, as she's done before, and it doesn't happen AGAIN, it will look pretty bad.
Who knows. I don't think they're still filming for nothing.
And why and the heck is she filming her very boring activities.

Hi, Leslie! Yes, it's a bit sad, really. She seems to be struggling and I think turning to social media and YouTube is a cry for attention and approval.
I wish her the best, but my gosh, I don't get the draw to watch anyone yammer on or do their errands.

Again, the optics. Kate's brief mentions of Colin in People seemed utterly perfunctory. Contrast that to her constantly showering her puppies with love and affection, making sure they're tucked into bed.
It just looks so disconnected from the reality of her son being separated from his parents, brothers and sisters.
I hope Colin is kept away from the internet where he can see his mother absolutely losing her mind over puppies, while he's sent away.
Like Jon, Colin is gone, but life goes on and it seems like no one is missing a beat.
I just don't believe that Kate is posting all these HAPPY!!!!!!, obsessive puppy photos, with dogs sleeping in her room and bed, yet she's crying for Colin.
It really just turns my stomach that Kate shows more love and affection for those dogs than she EVER has for her children.

It seems rather callous to me, given she seems to have no regard for how this looks, which is like she's happier than ever with her puppies.
I don't think Kate has the attachment to her children (unless it's the girls she likes to hang out with) that people normally assume a mother naturally does. I don't think Kate really bonded to her children from the get go.

Dr. Lillian Glass Called It Early On With Kate Gosslin’s Children Needing Help
Some excerpts:
Colin was an unusual child and we could see it from the beginning. In fact here is a quote on one of my observations of Colin’s from one of my earlier blogs about his disturbing behavior.
“In particular, I found the behavior of little Colin Gosselin disturbing as he appeared to be the one who consistently bullied the other children. He was often involved in some type of interaction which resulted one of the other children ending up in tears. He often seemed to be 0ff of his own and appeared to be disconnected from the others, in my view. Also, he rarely smiled. He also seemed to be rewarded for his bad behavior by Kate .”
Had Kate listened to some of her critics instead of being defensive and hostile towards them when they were trying to point out some red flags to her, perhaps neither she nor Colin would be in the situation she is in now.
What Kate needed to know then and needs to know now, it is her abusive behavior and rigid behavior towards this family that has impacted them greatly. Her parental alienation towards John has even leaked on to another one of her angry and hostile children, Mady Gosselin.
She goes on about Mady:
But then again, Kate has been mean to the children since the beginning. We all saw this for years on her show. So Mady is simply following Kate’s lead in the mean department. Kate was also so mean to the children’s father, Jon Gosselin and has badmouthed him every which way. She took verbal shots and legal shots at him every chance she could and shared this on every talk show she appeared. No doubt, she trashed Jon at home as well.
Now “mean girl” ( “mean” by her own words) Mady is 16 and is picking up where Kate left off when it comes to bashing Jon. Jon obviously loved his kids and showed them a lot of love and affection on the show while they were growing up. So it is understandable why he now feels frustrated that he doesn’t get to see all of his kids regularly. In fact, Jon told ET at the beginning of August that sadly he isn’t on speaking terms with Cara and Mady – and doesn’t see either of the girls often. Mady sets the record straight in a People Magazine interview....
Then Mady rudely and selfishly states that this is going to be a busy year for her at 16 as she is getting her license and studying for the PSAT tests and doesn’t need to be around a “Toxic” person.
This statement by Mady clearly shows how Kate has no doubt poisoned the well with Mady, when it comes to Jon. It is sad. It appears to me that Mady and the rest of her children will be needing a lifetime of therapy based on how abusively Kate treated them and Jon.
A child only learns what they have been taught and in Mady’s case we have seen that she has been taught anger and disrespect and that unfortunately this will be the legacy Kate Gosselin left for her. There is no doubt that the other kids may be equally as damaged by Kate’s anger.
Perhaps Colin had a biochemical problem, that was out of Kate’s control. But she didn’t help matters by not getting him the help he needed sooner In fact, she may have caused Colin even more damage by constantly showing him hostility as we see in the photo above where she shoves her hand over his mouth and scowls and yells at him for not behaving.
Sad but true...140...her family docuseries is coming back to TLC in January...
********************************8
"Docuseries"? Ha ha ha! I'm going to have the giggles all day long after reading that.
To be fair to Kate, the first two dates announced for the 10th anniversary special were done by TLC through on-air advertisements. She took it upon herself to announce the October and January dates.
However, the announcements/postponements by TLC themselves of the earlier dates should be a shot across the bow for Kate that even if she was told January there is no guarantee they will air then either. January is a long time away and much could change before then.
I don't think TLC is participating in this latest rush of news. Kate got the People photo shoot and article together in anticipation of an October airing hoping it would trigger the TLC marketing department to get her on the morning talk show circuit. That didn't happen and now Kate has a steady trickle of negative stories with nobody around to protect her.
What I will never understand is why Kate thought it would be good publicity to put Colin's situation front-and-center in the People article. She knows filming is a major factor in Colin's issues; way too many people have noticed his withdrawal on camera for years. Did she really think she would come across as the good mother for sending her son away to a behavioral facility when any other parent would have moved heaven and earth to keep him at home with his family?
I did submit a comment to TLC to please consider cancelling her show as the need to feed her narcissism should not supersede the Heath and welfare of those children who lives have been exploited for the last 12 years....yes most of it has been at the hands of the parents, but another season after the awful way Collin has been treated places more blood on the hands of TLC.
I don't know anyone who studied for the PSAT and my kid's school district is very competitive. SAT yes, but not the PSAT
Fade2black (#165), "docuseries" is a knee-slapper, isn't it? Just look at the picture at the top of this blog post and see just how unreal the "realest reality" is.
I saw some ads about a new show coming up on TLC--one of those ghost-hunting shows. It certainly looks like they are trying to branch out and get away from the reality genre. Maybe they have been bitten too many times to continue to put all their eggs in the same basket.
It seems that they are anxious to give their new shows a try, but keeping their old shows (like K+8) on standby to fill in the gaps. I am really curious about what the ratings will be for this new season. They were now very good last season, and then there was new system put in place to calculate ratings. Once that happened, ratings for all shows jumped by quite a bit, but then dropped to normal (lower) levels after a few weeks. Without some weird new calculations to inflate the numbers, plus the news about Collin, this might be a pretty dismal season. Can't wait to see!
PSAT is a measure of what your strengths and weaknesses are and what you do need to brush up on for the SAT or ACT. I agree that you don't need to study unless there is pressure (from mom) to do well on the PSAT. I think Mady threw that out there to let people know that college is approaching, i.e. she's mature. Using the description "toxic" sounds like something from Kate's mouth. I agree with Dr. Glass...Mady has been poisoned by her mother.
I believe that Colin's problems were ignored for years for fear of disrupting the filming schedule. I agree with MikeB that parents move heaven and earth to help their child. I know I did. I did not let any issues (like my son stuttering in elementary school) get blown up. He was immmediately enrolled with a speech therapist and the issue was resolved. Shame on Kate.
That didn't happen and now Kate has a steady trickle of negative stories with nobody around to protect her.

Haters Back Off
Netflix, 10/14
Colleen Ballinger makes the transition from YouTube personality (the title is her online alter ego’s catchphrase) to Netflix star with this comedy centered on her quirky, tone-deaf, absurdly untalented creation, Miranda Sings.

Maybe TFW is going to try and get herself (or Mady) a guest shot on this new show. After all, she loooooves Miranda Sings and knows all about haters.

Oh, it's a good show! I always check to see the schedule for Chopped, and Bobby often follows it. I'm really enjoying it. I've been a watcher for quite some time. Most times he wins, but it's interesting to see the competition.
I think it's rather funny to think that if Kate just threw another premier date out there, as she's done before, and it doesn't happen AGAIN, it will look pretty bad.
Who knows. I don't think they're still filming for nothing.
**********
I have to LOL at the thought that they may be filming for episodes that are intended to be seen by no one but audiences overseas. And, that TFW is clueless about it.
She knows filming is a major factor in Colin's issues; way too many people have noticed his withdrawal on camera for years. Did she really think she would come across as the good mother for sending her son away to a behavioral facility when any other parent would have moved heaven and earth to keep him at home with his family?
**********
I don't think TFW believes there is anything detrimental about filming and exploiting her family. I don't think she sees anything negative about it and has seen no negative impacts of it on her kids. IMO she's chosen to be blind to any negative impacts of filming on her family.
As for her thinking she would be seen as a good mother for sending her son away? Yes, I think she feels exactly that. I don't think she is open to considering opposing views or choices and as has been opined by many, I think she took the out of sight/out of mind choice and wasn't willing to put in the hard work needed to get C treatment at home (especially earlier when he first started to exhibit the behavior). I don't think she is willing to change her life and routine (including filming, of course) for C or any of her children.
I'm hoping there is a silver lining in all of this though, that C being treated at an inpatient facility is actually what ends up being best for him. I hope he learns the tools he needs to stand up for himself to his mother and others in a healthy way.
Again, leaving politics out of it....
I was watching the debate off and on, while talking with my brother. It was so upsetting for me, I was jumping out of my skin. My brother couldn't understand why this was bothering me so much.
Three days later I finally realized what the problem was. That might as well have been my ex.
That's exactly how my ex behaved when we were with the judge. Interrupting, shouting over the judge (and his own attorney). He knew better than everyone else. There were only two ways to proceed, his way and the wrong way.
I didn't say a word, just was thinking, "Keep it up buddy. You're going to get a contempt of court in a minute."
And sure enough, the judge finally had enough of it and told him that if he uttered another word there were going to be big problems for him. His attorney had to ask to take a break, and then came back without him! His attorney, hat in hand, was apologizing profusely to the judge and promising that it wouldn't happen again.
It wouldn't have been good to laugh, but I wanted to.
"Docuseries"? Ha ha ha! I'm going to have the giggles all day long after reading that.

That's some serious National Geographic sh*t right there ;-)

I will definitely check it out. I'm always on the lookout for quirky comedy. I hope her target audience is older (thinking yes on Netflix).
A very quirky recommendation is "Fleabag" on Amazon. It's reminiscent of "Miranda" (another talented British comedian and actor-if you've ever watch "Call The Midwife").
Fleabag is just a wee tad edgier. Well, a lot edgier. OK, a bit vulgar ;-)
I remember a similar Bobby Flay show called Throwdown. Food Network would do a fake filming of a famous local restaurant and Bobby would suddenly show up and challenge the owners to a contest making the restaurant's signature dish. It was very entertaining and the local chef usually won.

That's great, and if you had let the problem go without treatment, it could have been worse and have had far-reaching effects.
A nephew of ours graduated H.S. Valedictorian this year. He stuttered as a little child and received treatment for several years. In his speech, he thanked his mother for helping him, and encouraging him to find, and use, his voice.

I expect Kate's numbers to take a significant decrease.
The episodes are repetitive and Kate's popularity has all but disappeared. Back in the day, when she was the tabloid media queen, the haters benefitted her because they kept her relevant.
Now, people don't love to hate Kate. They either nothing her, or express shear disgust for her continuing to exploit her kids with the cumulative negative stories, from the divorce, to the media-circus-driven nasty post-divorce drama, to 2 kids getting kicked out of kindergarten (ffs), to seeing a particular child grow into an impertinent mini-me, to half the kids losing their relationship with their father, to Colin suffering from behavioral problems so bad, that he has been put in an institution.
I don't know how anyone can watch now without needing to take a shower afterwards.

I buy that.
I can't imagine this announcement, making its way around the tabloids, has gone unnoticed by TLC. Yet, crickets.
They are not backing Kate up in the least.

I didn't say we didn't do the PSAT. Our school district had a dozen nnsf last year, including one grad who got a perfect SAT and went on to MIT. Yes, we are competitive. If you want me to think M is in the running for National Merit Semifinalist though, LMAO.
From the sleeping Nanuq IG photo:
kateplusmy8 Oh she does have a doggy sofa bed but she moves all over the room! And she stopped sleeping IN my bed a few weeks ago... I don't know why (too hot I think) but I beg her to sleep in my bed but she just hops down now (sob)! @desquitadomaureen @miloandjack2016
miloandjack2016 Well don't despair...mine went thru stages like that. When it gets wintertime...and the floor area gets colder I look for her to get back up there w/you! @kateplusmy8. 😃
"I beg her to sleep in my bed"---really? If true, how bizarre. Wonder why Shoka and Mak don't get the same treatment. Or does she beg them, too? Her fixation on this new dog is just odd.
Kate thinks Nanuq doesn't sleep on her bed anymore because it's too hot? Yet she covers her with a blanket. Right. I think all this dog cr*p, pardon the pun, is strictly for show. She's desperately trying to seem like a caring person, especially since all the flack she's received for announcing Colin's placement elsewhere. She was in the process of remaking herself before the Colin news, and now she has to try harder.
It's not working.
Wonder why Shoka and Mak don't get the same treatment.
========
Because they are smelly boy dogs. Her puppies were born the day before mine and if Mak is anything like my boy the "red rocket" just pops out for no reason when he's sitting around chilling out. He's not excited or anything, it's just three. I give him a nudge and tell him "put that away no one wants to see it" and it's gone.

My bichon awakens with morning wood. "Time to pee!!"
OK, tmi....
Our lab started jumping down off the bed to sleep a little while ago. I think she just feels more comfy alone on a bed beside me on the floor. She volunteered, and frankly, DH and I are not at all unhappy with her decision!
Remember Mady said the only thing she enjoyed about school was that they don't have to wear uniforms in the upper grades. She agreed Cara was the smarter of the two so I don't think she's a big scholar who would be worrying over the PSATs.

Maybe she feels guilty about sending Colin away and she has transferred those feelings to the dog and she is trying to comfort and nurture the dog because she didn't to Colin. Subconsciously.
But, the pup is a girl, that don't make sense.
I would be a miracle for Mady if she did get a National Merit scholarship after living in the hell in that compound for years and being verbally and physically abused by her mother.

This used to happen to our beardie! Oh, geez, put that thing away, will ya?
(so many, 'just the tip' jokes would come to mind)
Wow, Tucker's, that is so wonderful about your nephew.
Too bad TFW doesn't have an ounce of compassion in her rocking body (according to Milo) to even care. Would rather keep the status quo and film for money and a narcissism fix come hell or high water.
I hope and pray Colin is happy, getting better and has made new friends and has wonderful, caring people taking great care of him. Hopefully Jon has been able to visit him and his brothers and sisters too.
I would love it if Aunt Jody could go and see him.
TFW will not be in control forever.
Every night in our home -- the same ritual for our Min Pin. We turn off the living room TV and head to the bedroom. Annie dog follows. We ask, "Up, up bed?" or "Your bed?" Sometimes she snuggles into her own bed and sometimes she hops on the side of our tall bed. I have no idea which options on which nights pleases her.
Hubby has been in Illinois for harvest. Annie and I are here in Texas. Since hubby has been gone, she makes the choice of 'up, up bed" every night. She makes sure that she is always touching me in some way.
I would find the absence of my husband much harder to deal with if I did not have a 5 pound, 8-year-old dog to keep me company.
PS: Hubby is somewhat fearful that I will rescue another dog during his absence. He is only partially on target!

Awww!
Our bichon snuggles all night long. Me or DH. Usually DH because I flip-flop, twist and turn a lot.
They are a great comfort when I'm alone.
But, two is enough. They love each other and our household is happy.
For now...... ;-)
I truly believe all this dog love is lies. She smiles for a picture or makes up comments about loving the puppies and sleeping with them. It's all acting. Most of the pics are probably taken by the kids based on her instructions. Then the dogs go back to the basement or back outside.
Our Annie. We used to have 3 Min Pins. Now, Annie is an only child. I have connected with a small dog rescue organization here in Texas. I am waiting for the fall-in-love-moment. Hubby is less invested in getting another dog for our family. His reasons are rational. My reasons are emotional.

What about adopting an older or middle-aged dog? Then your DH wouldn't have to deal with the puppy days and you would have a lovely trained furry companion.
OT to dog people: Have you all heard about the pit bull ban/ muzzling law in Montreal? So sad for owners. And those dogs without homes will be euthanized.
Just wondering said...
Well, what were the terms of their contract? Don't the kids receive 15% and that percentage is split 8 ways? And Kate can use their money for school, food, clothing, and medical bills?
No. The G kids get X amount of dollars per episode. (We do not know the amount.). Of that X, 15% is put away in their trusts. The kids are only guaranteed by law that 15% will be put aside in a trust. However, that 15% can be used toward their schooling and expenses.
The other 85% could be controlled by Kate, or could also be put into trusts for the kids. But it does not have to be. So where the 85% goes is anyone's guess.
Kate gets her own separate salary. They aren't all lumped in together as a family in one paycheck.
