«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 340 of 340 Newer› Newest»It's pretty unfortunate moving kids who are in the last few years of high school and making them start all over with building friends and establishing their community from scratch. And all because you couldn't do math.

M @199 "So Kate did move to North Carolina (someone guessed correctly)."
Did you see confirmation of this somewhere online? Any other details? City? TIA
Her move made online.
https://hollywoodlife.com/2021/03/22/kate-gosselin-kids-north-carolina-move-mady-cara/
She has brainwashed the kids to agree with everything she says so they probably had no problem with moving.
https://hollywoodlife.com/2021/03/22/kate-gosselin-kids-north-carolina-move-mady-cara/
I wonder what part of NC she moved to? Probably the beach. I live in NC. Like we don't have enough problems. At least the twins can decide where they want to live.
Oh heck, I knew that as soon as I asked the question that I'd find the answer on my own.
Yep, TFW has moved to NC: https://hollywoodlife.com/2021/03/22/kate-gosselin-kids-north-carolina-move-mady-cara/
Aside from her liking the area, by moving to NC, she made sure Hannah and Collin weren't going to be able to drive over to see their siblings after school (which Jon hinted of in an interview) when they got their driver's licenses. I wonder how much the threat of them having a relationship with each other loomed over her actual decision to move so far away.
To sell her McMansion at a loss, pull the tups from their school just when they were entering high school, developing closer more mature relationships with friends, gaining more independence from mommy dearest would have been a very hard decision for most parents. I think it was very simple for TFW and probably a huge relief when she drove over the state line for the last time.
The siblings are now living in two different states. What is WRONG with you Kate? They have no chance now. Rebuilding something from scratch when you don't even live nearby is going to be near impossible. She can rot.
And what about Kate and Hannah, whom she supposedly sees somewhat regularly last we knew. How is she going to see her daughter now? And her daughter her siblings? Wow, just wow.
North Carolina is a beautiful place and a favorite vacation spot of ours in the springtime, but Kate always wanted warmer weather and milder winters. She will get it. But her summers will be hell.
Why the shock? Surely the fact that the move to NC would keep the four "kids" separated from the other two with Jon was EXACTLY a primary reason/bonus she wanted from it. Jon was always publicly stating how when Hannah & Collin got their driving licenses that nothing would stop them from popping over & picking up their siblings to spend time with them/reestablish their relationship with them. The worse possible scenario for Kate for so many reasons. She would do anything to prevent this from happening for the next two years (and more) and just proved it by the move.
Personally, I don't believe they have moved to NC. I've only seen 1 tabloid reporting it (Hollywood Life) and its based on a "source." Tabloids have been wrong before. I have no other information but just my opinion. I think they spent Christmas and possibly New Years in NC before moving into new house. I'm not defending her but I don't think she has pulled those kids out of their school. The tabloids have known to be wrong or misinterpreting information.
The kids live in 3 different states

A source I have believes they have moved to Troutman, NC, based on deed records. It's true.
I assume that she went for a lakefront property since Troutman is not on the coast so no ocean. It’s a shame that the 4 remaining kids will be away from the others. I wonder if they’re in public school.

What a strange choice. The only real draw is that it's under an hour to Charlotte, which has a major airport. Almost 3 hours from Chapel Hill, where Figure 8 is located, and at least 4 hours from the coast. Could she have a man in the area? Were they filming in Charlotte when she did her dating season?
I wonder how much Jon knew about this move before she made it. And I wonder what this does to any ongoing case(s) that may be before the PA courts.

That is odd. Wonder if it was for a man.
Hmm. Troutman (if that's where she is) is only 20 minutes or so down the road from Davidson, which is Jeff the date's town. Coincidence? LOL
I started to post a comment and my computer decided otherwise. so if this comes up twice, i'm not losing my mind. haha!
i was saying, we had a family friend that lived on Lake Norman years ago, it is absolutely beautiful down there. just about everything in NC is. its close to the mountains too. not that weirdo is into nature and calm. cost of living is a lot cheaper too then PA.
the locals down there are not happy about northerners moving there. all the times we went, everyone was super nice. but someone like her? Nah, she's not going to fit in. People are not going to like her attitude at all, she's going to be so lonely. especially when the rest of the kids leave.
if she's only 3 hours from figure 8, i would bet anything thats why she's there. she cant work because she's a big star hahaha she's waiting for the rest of the kids to turn 18 so she can get her mug back on tv.
Perhaps the move to this SMALL community is for a fresh start for all of them (especially her). Small communities can be very protective of their residents. She can get a job & go about fashioning herself a new life. (Notice I don't mention any benefit for the "kids" in moving & isolating them from family using distance now too.)
She's no longer a spring chicken & definitely needs to be thinking about her future long term. I really believe this move is all about her and where she wants to be. Maybe it is a guy. lol
Jon had said something that made me think earlier that he knew where they had moved to out-of-state and that all parties had agreed that it was up to the kids now who (& where) they wanted to live. Of course the four minor kids would pick what they only know ... with Kate.
Wow, land records show she bought that property in March 2018. Wonder if she intended it as a vacation home but then TLC fired her in 2019 and then the pandemic hit in 2020; her investments might have tanked when the marked dropped quickly in March/April 2020, so she couldn't afford both properties then. Wonder if the PA school allows them to do online school; some schools did prior to the pandemic but now alot of them are set up for and allowing it.
I happened to read an August 2020 article on "Goalcast" about Arnold Schwarzenegger and his divorce from Maria. If you recall, it was ugly, he had an affair and a "secret" son.
Anyway, after watching Jon Gosselin and hearing how he is still estranged from 6 of his children, read how Arnold has mended his relationship with Maria and his 4 children with her - and he gives full credit to Maria:
"He finally mended fences with Maria and his kids
Divorce is never easy on the children, particularly not when there are extramarital affairs and secret love children involved. Arnold had a hell of a task ahead of him in the wake of the scandal. If he wanted to fix relations with his children and their mother, it was going to take a special sort of patience and resilience.
Thankfully, through the strength shown by Maria during these challenging circumstances, Arnold was able to retain a bond with his four children with Maria. “It has worked out really so well with the help of Maria, with the help of the kids,” said Schwarzenegger."
I'm not that familiar with the Charlotte area, but her new town is smaller than mine in Eastern NC. Maybe she can get into NASCAR. lol Yeah, a lot of people come down here for the weather and lower cost of living. She's closer to the mountains.
The NC house was purchased in 2018.
I would also assume that selling the "family" home with it titled to the kids will "clean up" & resolve a lot of the overseeing of her money actions (their $ vs hers), Imagine the scrutiny she has been under court ordered to have to account for/justify for each kid any of their money she spends (& she probably used it in ways that didn't pass muster & she doesn't like being told what she can or cannot do). Mortgage payments, maintenance costs, utilities, private school, medical & dental, et al.
Remember she was court ordered to account for/report on the (4) kids she has to Jon & Jon had to do the same to her for the (2) he has physical custody of (which I'm sure is NO problem for him). This is a chance to settle who's $ is who's and in what amounts before the (4) kids reach age 18 which is only in two short years (college and other life choices for them as adults). And above all -- She wants HER money safe.
She bought a house in North Carolina in 2018?? Why? Was it a rental property to bring in income? Or did it take years to make the move to North Carolina? It must be painful for Jon though.
M
I thought she moved to NC! And the house is on Lake Norman, where she and the kids have vacationed before. I looked on Zillow and found it. I won't give the address, but if you pull up sold houses in Troutman, then use filters for over 3000 sq feet, price over $700,000, with 4BR and a pool, you'll find it. She bought it on April 3, 2018, and it's listed in the name of KLS Revocable Trust. The sale price was $750,000, and she has a loan for $520,000. I wonder if she bought it as a vacation house for herself and the kids, since she still had hopes of more filming back then. I'll have to go back through the archives, but she and the kids spent several weeks at Lake Norman a few years ago--it was while a season of the show was on the air, and she missed some of her tweet parties. Was that right about the time she bought it? I'll take a look.
Other than how horribly dated it is, which dna be fixed (though she never fixed the last one) I actually really like it. It’s a “modest” upper middle class home. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/136-Hawks-Point-Dr_Troutman_NC_28166_M53985-17868#photo48
Is there any room for the dogs on that property? Also whose money bought that house in 2018?
Admin,
Yeah, it's terribly dated, but Kate seems to like that. It's much smaller than the house in PA, and it's on less than 1 acre--she'll save a bundle on cleaning "help" and yard service, utilities will probably be less, and the property tax is a fraction of what it was in PA. I do like the wrap-around porch, and the gazebo by the water is nice, too. The boat lift will go to waste--I don't see her operating a boat--but overall this is a house that she could probably stay in indefinitely.
Interesting to note that she bought this house just days before TLC announced "Kate Plus Date", and--surprise, surprise--some of her "dates" were in NC. Anyone else thinking she planned to find a guy in NC and move there for a new show? The college she took Cara and Mady to see is not far from this new house. She and Jon (according to Robert's book) planned to build a house in NC before buying the Wernersville house. I think NC has been her plan for a very long time.
Admin,
Yeah, it's terribly dated, but Kate seems to like that. I
$$$
Her love of dated interiors is odd.
Her fascination with North Carolina is weird (no offense to our lovely posters there, it’s a lovely place).
Do you think she's been renting it to tenants since 2018? It could have provided her with a nice income these last few years. I'm sure that house will be expensive to maintain.
M.
I wonder if she used the Kate Plus Date money as her down payment, then rented out the old house.
That would be somewhat smart of her. Too smart of her to think of it herself.
And yeah I'm sure she thought she would fall in love and get married due to Kate Plus 8 because this is Kate.

I'm guessing she's one of those people who thinks North Carolina means "beach" and doesn't understand geography and can't figure out a beach is three hours away and you'll never go.
I wonder where the tups will go to school...
Admin, thank you for the listing URL.
Does anyone else get the feel that the house is going to feel cramped with all of those growing (and already close to full adult sized) teenaged bodies squeezed into the bedroom and living spaces? When most teens are angling for their own bedrooms, these kids will have to Sharon's and I don't imagine the bedrooms are very big. I prefer painted trim in my house, as opposed to the wood look in this house, but this house doesn't feel very big, and it really isn't, at a little more than 4000 sqft - and TFW had all that clunky, bulky furniture that she's going to have to squeeze into the new place. The house is beautiful altho not my style, but the setting on the lake and the screened-in veranda are to die for, imo. But it still feels tight.
I hope the kids can settle in quickly, find some great new friends, and a new school they love, and are happy and successful there. Their mother? Idc
She's in the end stages of parental alienation. Literally the last step is that you remove your children from having little to any practical opportunity to ever have contact with the other parent again. I'm surprised she didn't move to Iran, Not Without My Daughter style. This is a really sad instance in which we all have to say WE TOLD YOU SO.
When I was in college, my father moved to the Charlotte area in NC. He also bought a nice house on the water(Catawba River).So I've spent a LOT of time there. The mountains are beautiful but it is way too hot for me. The combo of high heat and being right on the water can cause home maintenance issues as well. Charlotte area is FAR from Berks County. Poor Jon. Those are his children.
M.
That house looks so cramped compared to the old one. It doesn't look like her type of property at all.
We would go in the spring Often and it was fine. My cousins live in Raleigh. When they got married in July we went and ughhh that was one miserable outdoor wedding. The summers will be long Kate.
Lake Norman High School is very highly-rated, so it's likely the 4 kids with Kate will go there. Between the smaller mortgage, lower property taxes, a house (about 2500 sq ft smaller than the old one, and no finished basement) and property they can maintain themselves, and public school, she'll save loads of money by living there. I feel sorry for Mady and Cara. Like the article said, their friends are in PA, not NC. The younger 4 can make friends at school, but M&C won't know anyone. Maybe this will encourage them to mend fences with Jon. He's still in PA, close to their school friends, and he has H&C with him. At least we can hope.
She definitely has been planning this move for a long time. I don't think it's a coincidence that she took M&C to visit Belmont Abbey college. It's so close to the new house that she could still summon them home for filming. I'm sure they also visited UNC in Charlotte. I saw a clip from the "lost episode" and I'm pretty sure one of the girls was wearing a UNC sweatshirt. She also bought the house during the custody battle with Jon over Hannah. I think she believed she'd win custody of Hannah and move all of them away from Jon, and she'd talk M&C into going to college locally. Then she'd find a NC guy on K8+D8 and have a new romance--plus all the kids except Collin--available to film indefinitely.
I find myself wondering how she got a half-million-dollar mortgage with no visible means of support. Could she have gone back to work?
How did she afford two expensive houses since 2018? I agree, how did she afford another mortgage? I mean she doesn't work at all. And why on the water, with a boat slip? She once said she's not an "outdoor kind of girl" (paraphrasing). Does she have a boat now? It is interesting.
M.
Not only did she move the 4 away from their school, home, siblings and everything they’ve ever known, but SHE moved away from HER own children.
There’s just no words.
Old poster (#41), isn't it funny how she feigned outrage at Jon's allegedly abusive treatment of C, yet up and left the kid and moved to a different state? She couldn't care less if she never lays eyes on that boy again. He wanted nothing more than to win her love, and I believe it gave her some kind of perverse thrill to withhold it. She is a horrible mother.
I thought the house was very cold and outdated. like her. the pool area is hideous in my opinion. I bet she thinks the boat slip is a deck area. boats are very expensive to keep, i doubt she knows anything about that.
She got a good price though, for a lake front property.
your right flimsy, if she was so concerned about the kids being abused by jon, she wouldnt have moved 9 hours away from them. It would be so amazing if Jon moved down there!
“How did she afford two expensive houses since 2018? “
I wonder if her illusion of grandiose got to her when she signed on to do the dating show. If I were to bet, I believe she was going to be an even bigger star and that she would start to get offers right and left, like the earlier days. I could also see Steve being smart with finances, and helping her invest her money. She’s too lazy otherwise. And she was probably bitter that she wasn’t receiving the star treatment and adoration that she was used to getting in Penn state like the earlier years. If that meant pulling her kids out of their school, and leaving everyone they knew behind, so that she would have a more positive experience, then so be it.

What really struck me about her fake outrage at Jon's "abuse" is the fact that she never once mentioned any concern for Collin's well-being. Never said she hoped he was okay, that she wanted him to be with her, or even that she picked up a phone and called him to see how he was doing. She did say that she wanted the kids away from Jon, and then promptly put her house on the market and moved the 4 remaining kids to NC. Leaving the supposedly abused child behind with his supposed abuser. I have no words. She was setting the stage for this move--as with everything she does that might be considered questionable, it's all Jon's fault. Just ask her, she'll tell you.
She may have been renting out the NC home when she wasn't there; many people do that with beach/vacation homes, just as she did previously in the poconos and in NC. Its how alot of people can afford the vacation home; you rent it out by the week or weekend to help pay the 2nd mortgage.
My family rents a beach house for a week every year through a realty company who manage rentals on homes owned by others. Although 2020 may not have been a good rental income year. Seems like a wise financial move for her. If she got $1.whatever million for the PA home, paid off what she owed on it (she financed $600,000 or so in 2011 so it would be less than that), paid off what she owed on the NC house (she financed $525,000 in 2018 so less than that), she'd be mortgage free and only have to pay the taxes on the NC home from now on. She's probably got all her earnings invested and earning income and she can draw from the kids' trust accounts for whatever they need (although probably not as much as she was prior to court order on providing info to Jon about the trusts)
Don't know for sure but I just feel she still has those kids at their private PA school and doing it online.
I also think the move to NC is to get away from Jon living so close as it is finanancial. I've also seen (and Jon has mentioned) that Colin is working for the Strickler farm right next to TFW again and I bet she didn't like that!
Didn't Kate herself once say, "If you don't know how to help me," that people pretty much just aren't welcome in her world? Or she leaves? So her move to North Carolina up and leaving her two children since she's not working with TLC anymore seems to fit the bill. And that's terrible. It does, however, fit her MO with the rest of her family and her friends. If they all can't help her she has no use for them.
The house does need some updates but there are still some nice features. But ugh, that cobolt blue tile in the shower, around the tub, on the floor and in the sink is overkill, along with that hideous blue pool deck. And that pool is a major downgrade compared to her PA pool, which I thought was such a nice one. Lake Norman however is a beautiful lake and she did get it at a steal for the price she paid. A lot of Nascar drivers live on Lake Norman and there are some gorgeous homesites to see when you ride around on the lake.
But I do recognize a few things in the house from some of Mady's TikTok videos.
I get the appeal of NC, there is a lot to do there, beautiful lakes, mountains, beaches, she'll have the 4 seasons without super bad winters or horrendous summers. I just feel bad for the kids having to finish school in another state, that's kinda weird. And to have moved mid school year.
As far as Mady and Cara and their PA friends, once you leave for college, your HS friendships aren't really the same. Yes, the girls will probably come home (to NC) for summer and breaks but hopefully they'll be enough in NC for them to explore and do to take up the short time they're home.
It’s a steal because she’ll spend 150k to update it so it stops screaming at the top of its lungs 2004.
She won’t spend a dime.. she likes that look... the home has good bones... but she’ll never know what to do with it... she is once again in the middle of nowhere ....
That’s gonna be a big empty house when they leave for college...is next year their last year?
She is a monster. She's upped her parental and sibling alienation game. So much psychological and emotional damage. And seriously, everything about that house/property is ugly. What is with the square miles of tile?? It is all about her. "Mine all mine." A fairly large extended family on both sides, but with this move and no connections for years, it is unlikely those kids will know their Aunts Uncles, cousins. Tragic, all for ego.

Nope, they're only sophomores at the moment, so they've got two more years.
I knew Kate's new location couldn't stay hidden for too long. Nice property.
I remember when she wanted to move to Hollywood.

For the price she paid for her new home in North Carolina, she could have boughten a little utility closet like the one she was hiding in during her book singing in Santa Monica, and it would now be worth 3 times what she paid.
I just had a BPO done on my house and it's gone up 25% in less than three years. We're celebrating.
Having a trendy home isn't important to everybody. Just because you would spend 150K due to the horror of having an outdated home doesn't mean everyone would do the same.
&&&
I didn't say that. I said the reason the house is cheaper is because to get it up to speed would cost a ton of money. That's why it was a steal. I also didn't say she should have a "trendy" home. I think a modern and updated home shows pride in ownership and is very good for your long-term resale value so is almost always a smart investment, but I don't care if people want to sit in a home from 2004 the rest of their lives, that's their business. Perhaps she has remodeled it, these are just the for-sale photos. We have no idea about the after-photos. I do however, think she's trashy.
That looks more like my grandma’s house than the house of a STAR! Seriously, renovation is in order!
What a supermom to move far away from 2 of her kids, 4 counting the twins who weren’t that far away in NYC! And, to move the other kids from everything they have ever known during their last years of high school! That can’t be good for their social or mental health!
We moved less than 10 miles when my kids were in middle school. We immediately realized that it was a big mistake and ended moving back close to our old house. Even that short distance matters when they’re teens.
What about the 3 large dogs? There isn't a lot of room for them to run on that property.
IA I don't think she'll do any major renovations, she'll leave it outdated just like the other house. And that kitchen looks super inefficient. It's all chopped up. The island doesn't have any real working space on it with the stove right in the middle of it. But she probably doesn't really cook like she (supposedly) use to anyway.
I wonder if TFW left any friends behind in PA. I'm not sure if she has any social investment in anyone who is not on her payroll. That would make a move much easier for her than for her children. But then she's never been accused of putting their needs first, has she?

Of course she did. Brownie is no doubt lighting candles for her every night! Stale organic cereal 4eva!
The house looks (to me) like somewhere someone would go to hide. That's fine if she wanted to live an obscure life, but we know she doesn't. She wants to be a star. She can't act, sing, dance, etc, so reality tv is her only hope. She was able to get away with that when she had something interesting to offer--two sets of adorable little multiples. She doesn't have that anymore. She has a few very ordinary teenagers and a couple twenty-somethings who are away at college. Not at all unusual or extraordinary. So what does she have to offer now?
Other reality stars have either loads of little kids or very big lives. With the kids mostly grown or gone, Kate should have tried for the big life. The Kardashians, all the Real Housewives--they all have big lives. They live in exciting places and have large, glittering social circles and extravagant lifestyles. Not Kate. Let's be real, here--there's never going to be a Real Housewives of Troutman, NC. I'm sure she wants a show of her own, focused solely on her (can you imagine her having to share the spotlight with other women???). But she' s just not interesting or exceptional and now she's cut herself out of the running for any group-type show. I hope she just loves hiding out in the middle of nowhere, because that's all that is left for her.
That kitchen looks so cramped and outdated. Remember when tlc paid for her new kitchen in PA and she complained how disorganized everything was while she went on her tlc paid vacation to BHI ? Yep those days are long over.
I’m sure once M and C graduate or even before,, they’ll rent an apartment with friends in New York or another city.They don’t seem to be the type that’ll be satisfied living full time in an obscure little town .

Layla (#62), it never ceases to amaze me how TFW blew every lucrative opportunity she had. I still say her toxic personality sabotaged her success.
Gigi Be (#63), those glory days are long behind her, aren't they? I know she's not sentimental about her children, but I wonder if she ever feels wistful about no longer breathing the rarified air of reality TV stardom. Remember how she said they "could never go back?" Apparently she was wrong.
It was extremely unrealistic of her to have never not to have been wrong. Not to mention foolish about being unable to go back. The quicker they rise, the harder they fall. I truly believe she was just sucked into believing the fairy tale that she couldn't believe anything else.
The only people I pity is her children and how hard it possibly is or might continue to be on them.
She didn't have to do this. She did this to herself.
I do also ponder what she'll do if Jon or one of her kids decides to ever write a book like she did.
I hope everyone is going to have a nice Easter. I'm still waiting on my grand baby.
Today is Jon Birthday wishing him the best. I followed Collin on Instagram and I dont see any new post since last year. Is a little bit odd because he used to post on a regular basis.

Layla, I did come across this article,
https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/wireStory/fake-german-heiress-us-custody-faces-deportation-76821010
This could be tough for this young woman, young to be she is 30, to get any type of job now if she is deported back to Germany. How on earth she managed such a scheme is beyond me! Goodness. Did you say your family member was interested in this case? How strange a person, not your family member dear, this Anna young lady. And quite sad for her family. I should think they would be embarrassed thoroughly. I would be to bits.
Mar (66)
You're right, both Kate and Jon had birthdays this week. Happy birthday, Jon! And Kate is now 46. Is she still "de-aging"? If so, then she must look about 12 by now.
Blue Jay (65)
I'm waiting on the next grandbaby too! 8 more weeks! We can do a countdown together. My little cuddle-bug is away on a babymoon with his mom and dad, and I'm having grandbaby withdrawals. I'm sitting here with a pile of his books on the table next to me and nobody to read them to.
"Sources" said that Kate moved away to be a star. Does that mean she's still relentlessly pursuing a career in the limelight? Or has she accepted the fact that it's over for her? Her move to such an obscure location makes it seem like she's done chasing the cameras. When was the last time she was on TV--for a show, an interview, anything? I guess it was the lost episode, which was 18 months ago. She has to be losing her mind. She always said that filming/TV was their "normal". The kids even parroted that statement to their GAL. I guess she can't say that anymore. I sincerely hope she never graces our TV screens again.
8 weeks! Oh what a countdown! Sure I'll join you, pull up a chair. I bought some books for the older ones.
Oh, she can grace the screen again as long as it's under a hidden camera. Because I want to see her have to actually really function back in the realest of real worlds. Being unemployed having to go to the grocery store without TLC's dime, how she actually treats people without the cameras when she doesn't know they're around, her actually couponing like the rest of us, managing 4, count them FOUR kids. That's what I'd like to see.
Well, I picked the wrong day to go into DC. I went to do some shopping at CityCenterDC, and suddenly there were lights and sirens, police cars and ambulances screaming by nonstop. We were stuck in place until things calmed down, and watched the events at the Capitol unfold on our phones. Such a horrible thing, and it was shocking to think it was happening just blocks away. Sometimes it seems like the world is going crazy. RIP to the police officer who died, and I'm praying for the surviving, injured officer.
I think she bought the house as a vacation home....but her daring show didn’t pan out, and it didn’t offer her other jobs.
So, the last two years she saw her money dwindling, and out of necessity she sold the big house. It was a bonus to alienate the kids from each other, and from Jon as well, so the remaining 4 didn’t jump ship.
I guess Colin and Hannah did t know how to help her- she may never see them again.
And it’s all Jon’s fault.
I wonder how she got her vehicles to North Carolina. Kate was ALWAYS driven (she once said she only drives locally and can't be driving here and there). Maybe she hired drivers and flew down. It really is a long drive.
M.
I’m thinking that TFW bought the house when she did hoping to get in state tuition for the twins. Too bad they decided to go elsewhere. I know that I’m in the minority here but I kind of like the interior of the house....reminds me of my grandma.....
Happy Easter/Passover to all!
from her old house to the new house is about 500 miles, maybe an 8 hour drive. I drove that all the time (750 miles) bringing kids to and from college in one day and I am older than she. Even if she divided the time in half 4 hours each day I think she is too cheap to pay for a motel for the night.
I was on Linkedin.com looking up something about one of Kody Brown's sister-wives and a familiar name caught my eye in the margin - Cara Gosselin. Not surprisingly, the young woman has been busy! Check out her page - link is below.
She's making a name for herself and although I only know her from tv, I'm proud of her. I hope it means she's well on her way to building a life outside her mother's control and manipulation yet in contact with ALL of her siblings - and open to developing something with her father.
She's an incoming resident assistant at Fordham as well as "I am an Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Economics major with a minor in Spanish Language and Literature at Fordham University. Additionally, I am a student-athlete on the Division I Women's Crew Team. I currently hold the positions of Executive Co-Director of Fordham Dance Marathon, Executive Vice President of The Residence Halls Association, University Ambassador for Rose Hill Society, as well as being a New Student Orientation Leader."
There's more on Linkedin.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/cara-gosselin-36ab9b1ab?
And RE Cara: In January 2019, she received a Fordham Loyola Scholarship AND a Fordham Tuition Award. Nice!
Sad sad sad I just looked up Cara's Bio on the Fordham rowing team. It only list TFW as a parent.
I thought Kate said her children had enough to afford their college expenses, isn't that why she filmed all these years? Because having children was expenses (who knew?).
I found this absolutely chilling. And very, very sad. I does make me think of Kate and her children. How blind a lot of parents are to stardom, whether that's acting or reality television. It has also make me think of Collin, even Hannah. Perhaps the other children.
I don't know how many posters would be familiar with this man from Dennis the Menace the television show. But I still find it valid today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfFZSe__Ua0
Blue jay I remember Dennis the
Menace vividly, I loved that show growing up. That is so sad! The greed makes me sick! No childhood should be sold!
I always wondered how the Gosselins would have made out if there was no tlc filming. Would they still talk to their dad? Would Kate be a monster narcissist? I think the kids would be normal without the severe dysfunction. It’s so sad what “stardom” did to Kate.
Cara seems to have grown into an accomplished young woman. But, damn it, it hurts my heart that her gestational carrier saw fit to shatter her daughter's relationship with her father. I think anyone who watched those early episodes would see there was a special bond between Cara and Jon. How abominable to sabotage that relationship. She is a horrible mother.
I expect a lot of Cara’s overextending herself in a variety of different ways, pushing and excelling and achieving beyond what’s reasonable for most young people, is just childhood/daddy issues. Trying to fill the void. She will only discover what a huge hole being alienated from Jon created for her when she seeks intensive therapy, if she ever does.
Well Layla, my grandchild made it. Another girl as of last night. 7lbs even. Makes for 4 girls and 4 boys even.
Cara could just be an ambitious young woman in her own right.
BlueJay (#83), congratulations!
Cara could just be an ambitious young woman in her own right.
*****
Nope, can't think that. Doesn't fit the narrative. God forbid Kate have a smart, ambitious daughter who is fully engaged in her college experience. She must have daddy issues because she couldn't possibly be well adjusted and enjoying life. Far better to claim she needs intensive therapy so you can scream "called it."
***
I never said otherwise. She could be an ambitious young woman in her own right. However I've met a lot of people like her with that sort of resume. You meet a hell of a lot of them in higher education. And most of the student body presidents/scholars/RAs/teacher's assistants/law review VP had issues.
I would love nothing more than for this to just be HER, genuinely, and not related to unresolved issues. Either way, she WILL have daddy issues, ambitious or not. There's no escaping that.
@admin I don't know Cara personally,but i know this girl that's two years younger than the twins,and i suspect she has daddy issues.Her parents went through a divorce and(unlike what some jon haters claimed.)her father left her.Even though she is a very nice girl,she does have some emotional problems.She shared on facebook that if there's one thing that makes her cry,it's seeing couples break up.Even for ones that she doesn't know.What i found weird was her two relationships.Her first "boyfriend"(if this counts.)was an online relationship with a guy from Brazil who ended up cheating on her after an argument.Her current boyfriend is this 30 year old guy who she started seeing 1 month before she turned 18.Even though she's technically an adult,i fear she's falling for the same trap that a lot of girls that have daddy issues do.
BlueJay (83)
Congratulations! I bet you're over the moon about your new little grandbaby! I have another 6 weeks, 3 days to wait, and I am ready. Tell us all about her. Is she a little angel? Of course she is. I hope I someday have lots of grandchildren, just like you.
I hope Cara is just a very motivated, driven young lady. She has certainly been busy and focused. I think the area where all the kids are going to have trouble is in maintaining relationships. Their mother has taught them that people--family, friends, whomever--are disposable and should be discarded when they are no longer of use to them. Or disagree with them. Or don't know how to help them. They have seen one person after another vanish from their lives, and now their mother has moved them hundreds of miles away from their friends and the only school they have ever known. That does not bode well for them. I see some serious trust issues in their futures.
Posting Cara's linkdin is such an invasion of her privacy, even if she is 18. We all care about these children but must they be stalked?
&&&
I have to totally disagree with that. Linkdin is a very public web site like an open twitter or instagram account and whatever she puts on there she is certainly intelligent enough to realize anyone can see. Cara can decide for herself what she would like to make public about herself.
If someone got into her private account by trying to be friends with her, that would be a different story.
I'm the one who originally posted Cara's LinkedIn info and I didn't think twice about it. 1. she's an adult and 2. linkedIn is a public site that people use to connect to others, in other words, to spread the word about yourself (she could choose a less public account if she wanted to) IMO, people who post there are well aware, and want others to spread the word about them in hopes of being noticed and it leading to a beneficial connection. I'm listed there & have made some very helpful business connections there that have lead me and the other parties to some pretty great business relationships & deals over the years.
People are right, I suppose that's going o be a sticking point as these young ladies grow older. Once you do enter adulthood what you post and do, well you ARE adults. Now, these kids have already had their entire lives open for public consumption as it was. So what they do now is all that more open to being picked over. What they post, what they put out there. Not that their mom has ever had any problem with that. I also do see it as she's like those who didn't have their childhood on camera don't most young people have their CV's posted on some online platform? My grown kids have but nobody knows who they are really. Kate, however, has neglected the part of their adult life and the younger ones as they come up that people are going to be allowed to go over them like a fine tooth comb.
These kids could be potentially not only made fun of, but who knows what else. They could land a job one day and some cruel employee they don't know under a screen name, if it didn't happen in school could send them videos of their childhood on TLC of their meltdowns, themselves being potty trained and god knows whatever else. All while their trying to earn a living. Work harassment is real.
@Layla, the grand baby is wonderful! I still can't believe I ended up with so many. But I'm sure you'll manage six more weeks I'll root for you!
They're adults now and like any adults famous or not, they now get to decide what's public. Besides, it's a resume. It's not her deepest darkest feelings. Who cares.
If Cara is so obviously intelligent, I'm sure she is well capable of deciding what information she is fine with people seeing, and what she would rather they not. Maybe she's proud of her resume, she should be.
I've never needed LinkedIN because that's just not the sort of thing that's helpful to my career but it's not really the same social media site as other sites where a huge component of it is to maintain a private circle and it's creepy if someone manages to infiltrate your privacy. The whole point is to be seen, make networks, get your name out there, etc. I always found it a little bit of a strange site, but some people swear by it. If you feel you want your privacy when it comes to your work that's fine, don't put your profile on the site. You certainly don't need it for any profession.
For Layla and bluejay and I’m guilty of this as well! My daughter sent this to me and I couldn’t stop laughing
My mom as a grand mom- have more ice cream and we’ll go buy all the toys you could ever want!
My mom raising me- if you need new socks you'll have to earn them with chore money. Now finish your boiled celery strings.
😂😂😂
I’m glad to see that Jon is posting on social media again (IG stories). Hopefully he’s on the road to recovery after having Covid.
clack (93)
HAHA, love it! I admit, the grandma description is definitely me! Sully just melts me and I cannot tell him "no". I know I'll be the same with Baby K.
Unfortunately Clack and Layla my husband and I were reasonable with our kids, if they wanted something with in reason we bought it for them but we also did teach them if they wanted something extra save your allowance and buy it yourself. I suppose we both felt if we had good enough jobs and we could afford to raise and have three kids they should be given a comfortable life within reason. By that I mean they had clothes for school, for summer, if they outgrew their shoes and wanted shoes, we bought them. But for our kids what was important was, "mom will you come camp in the backyard?" I might have been doing something that needed doing but yeah sure, I drop it to go camp with my kids. We gave our kids hikes in the woods behind our house, things that didn't cost anything. And unlike I'm not into messes what I gave my kids was that occasional change to raid my kitchen and make a flour angel on the floor and I joined them. Those things were free for my kids. But worth every penny in memory.
Grand kid wise it's a bit tougher because there are so many of them. And their all between ages of of 10 and newborn. So we buy them oh ice cream when they would come over or send them a box of baked goods now. And let the two with my daughter fight to the death who gets what (just kidding). Hopefully if I'm around my grand kids can enjoy those same memories.
we raised ours the same way. I also made sure they were self sufficient. When they could reach the dials on the washer, they had to do their own laundry. they had to load and unload the dishwasher.
we did lots of crafting with things we had in the house. went on long hikes, went to parks. Etc. We did do yearly vacations also.
We didnt make them eat boiled celery strings, although the vision is a riot hahha
now with the grandbabies? they can have what they want, (within reason obviously). they do no wrong in our eyes. funny how things change!
I was going to take my grand daughters shopping tomorrow, there's a birthday coming up. but not with this verdict coming in. I'm not taking them out in a store.
Just read that the Pioneer Woman now has a line of apparel being sold at Wal-Mart. This woman has marketed herself so masterfully for more than a decade. The Food Network show, cookbooks, frozen meals, cookware, and now clothes. And then there's TFW, who had a line of kids' clothes for Health-Tex which ended almost as quickly as it started. So many opportunities handed to this woman on a "golden" platter, and she blew them one by one. Mediocre much, Schmoopy?
I can't believe I forgot to mention this but I visited the Pioneer Woman stores in Oklahoma over Christmas with family. We had planned this pre-pandemic, and we spent a great deal of time studying the case rates in Osage county and in our current location, the benefit to our mental health to get away together for a few nights, the benefit to the businesses we were giving money to, and determining whether we were willing to take on the risk and whether we would be okay with it if it resulted in getting sick, and ultimately decided to go forward with the trip after all testing negative for COVID two days prior.
First of all, what a peaceful, wonderful all-American town. She's basically bought up the whole street, and has a wide variety of stores including a pizza place and ice cream parlor. All VERY reasonable prices, in fact I started buying up a bunch of kitchen stuff when I was cross checking identical items on Amazon for the same or more expensive. Never expected that. Further down the street are some lovely antique shops not associated that I spent hours in.
We spent a long time just chatting up the various people who worked there who loved to talk, mostly I wanted to hear the stories about how they were getting through COVID. They told us about how they struggled to keep the restaurant going with take out during the pandemic and how her style of food and the business just didn't work for take out--you come for the experience not just the food. Being able to open up again to sit down came just in time. They were so grateful to have tourists willing to come there and they seemed to think business was going to make it now that COVID was easing in their area. They were however greatly missing the international tourists. They had wonderful things to say about Rhee, our waitress had actually gone to high school with her and said she was exactly the same as when she knew her as kids, which was why she enjoyed working for her so much.
As if Kate could have ever actually put in any real long-term effort or hard work on her own. Her kids were her ticket. One has to be likeable to be marketable, which Mrs. Drummond seems to be very much. At least her cookbooks, herself and overall work ability are all her own, not her kids pity and cuteness. At least she's far more relatable and doesn't try to be perfect. Kate tried to package identical cute, stressed overworked perfectness. I don't know where that sells, I've yet to find the aisle. Not that working mom's or stay at home mom's aren't ever tired we all relate to that but that's not all there is in life.
Admin at least you enjoyed your trip. We're looking at a trip out Northwest. It's been a few years since we headed out that way and it's really pretty. Our Europe trip is on hold but it'll still be there.
Just saw that Kate's father passed away on Tuesday.
https://www.finkenbinderfamily.com/obituary/ReverendKenton-Kreider
I'm sorry to hear about Kate's father. I wonder what Kate's relationship with him was. I was always under the impression it was estranged. I didn't know he taught at a Christian school. I wonder if it was Kate's school and if he taught her. And his father is living. His sister is in Virginia Beach, a beautiful area. It's good to see Kevin and Jodi's names. My condolences to the family.
Oh that’s sad! They probably don’t know where she lives. I bet she doesn’t go, no cameras, no cash for filming her “sad” reaction, there’s just nothing in it for her. Aside from the obvious. This could be the chance for the kids to reconnect with family.
I hope Jon takes C and H.
Kate could just go as a decent human being and daughter. When your parents pass away, regardless unless and I'm sure perhaps some of you who read here or post here and had those types of childhoods were your parents were abusive or something like that and those feelings should be validated, but most of us suck up whatever feelings or disagreements happen because they were our parents and give our respects. You only have two parents and when they're gone, they're gone.
I hope the family was able to find some reconciliation even with a few people even a little bit. This is a stark reminder someone could pass on and you're out of time to reconcile.
It's just hard to watch broken families. You want every family to feel happy and close together. It reminds me, it's very sad to see the rift in the royal family right now and I think most everyone is cheering for them to find some common ground, mend fences, become close again. But as soon as you start making accusations about racism, that's a whole other level that can be hard to come back from.
Here’s a pic of Kate’s parents . They seem like a decent people

Chances are like everyone else Kate saw no use for, they're the decent people and Kate's the shithead.
Pioneer Woman just seems so likeable...hence her popularity. She's also hard-working and doesn't let a good opportunity go to waste, unlike Kate.
Sad to see that Kate's father passed away, but I wouldn't expect her to show up for the funeral. She had nothing but bad things to say about him, and she said those things publicly. She doesn't just shut the doors of relationships behind her, she slams them.
Well, things have been busy around here! We're all ready for the new baby (4 weeks, 6 days)...and we're buying a NYC apartment! That came out of nowhere, didn't it? Well, a year and a half ago some of my family members moved to NYC to support my nephew as he pursued his acting career, and shortly afterward COVID hit and acting jobs were pretty scarce (although he did find some good opportunities in the midst of it all). Anyway, their apartment building is going co-op, and current residents are offered first dibs at very, very advantageous prices before the apartments are put on the market. Due to the scarcity of acting work, they couldn't qualify for a mortgage--but DH and I could, so we're buying it for them and they will rent it from us. I am co-signed for the rental agreement so I'm technically one of the current renters. It strikes me as funny because I never imagined buying an apartment in NYC, but...here I am. Kate referred to NYC as her "second home", and I always thought she'd love to have a place of her own there, but that never happened--for her.

&&&
I suppose she could be called a Pollyanna, and I'm SURE she has her down days. But from day one she carefully crafted a cheerful, self-deprecating, upbeat, light personality that was very attractive. Really the only thing people couldn't stand about her were petty, like her lack of formal training and hating on all the wealth her husband's family has (money they worked hard hard for for a century). You really felt that in Puskaloska, an almost Disneyland for the home cook vibe, with cheerful colors and smiles all around. And it wasn't fake or put on. It was just nice people who liked their jobs. Oh, and I should say, these employees weren't perfectly made up or polished. I noticed many of them dressed in a rather dated way, some of the women had just let the grey hair go, and sensible tennis shoes were the order of the day, not heels. It does not surprise me she would hire an old high school friend, someone so down to earth they've tossed out their hair coloring, someone who knows tennis shoes make more sense on the job. They were real.
At the end of the day it's just more pleasant to want to be around and follow someone with that kind of personality. Kate however chose to allow a whole lot of her darker side show, to show she had a nasty and mean side and not try to keep it under wraps in public. And it resulted in absolutely no staying power.
Many celebs have a darker more pessimistic side. But most of them are careful not to show it in public. PW may very well be everything she says. You can't fake the way her kids adore her, and she is fostering a young man and seeing him through college now. She kept it a secret until he was 18 to, god forbid, protect his privacy.
Congrats on the apartment Layla. You are good people and take care of family.
I do like the PW and love to see her as a judge on the cookie shows during the holidays. The only negative I have is that she looks like she’s had Botox that’s gone very, very wrong. She’s got a very doughy face. If it’s because she’s taking steroids for a medical condition I apologize.
Since Mady and Cara are adults now I would hope that they’d make,the effort to go to their grandfather’s memorial. TFW is a lost cause and I don’t expect anything from her. I’m surprised that she hasn’t already called the rag mags (People at the very least) to say how upset she is over her father’s passing.
I just read that Celebrity Dating Game is coming back. Maybe she can get on that. K8+D8 didn’t work out so any port in a storm to get her mug OT there.

I can't decide if she's getting botox or if she just has rather doughy features. She's always kind of had a puffy look about her face. It could be some kind of medical condition. She's also mentioned wanting to lose some weight, it may be going to her face.
And that's my total snark!
I do have to say though .... I just don't really much eat her food. It's rare I make a recipe. I think I tried her pizza dough, once. I rarely touch food out of cans or boxes, or eat a bunch of desserts, it's usually simple farmer's market or garden vegetables and fish or chicken and simple salads. I find the ranching lifestyle much more interesting. I started reading her blog for the photography posts. Her taste in food is very different from mine. She craves things like root beer and pot roast. I crave whole wheat pasta with mushrooms and pesto, and beet and pear juice. No judgment, it's just not how I eat these days. But I think that really speaks to how effective she is, I still enjoy following her even though I don't make what she eats.
Please don’t tell me she’s not going to show up for her own father’s funeral... how does she live with herself? That poor man never got see his own grandchildren... she’s evil

That's sad. It would be extremely unusual for a young woman like Cara not to be very damaged from what happened to her during her childhood, not to mention she was exploited on TV. Much as I wish her the best, the odds are against her. She should seek out a really, really good therapist, and consider dropping her mother. Then, she might have a shot.
I just read where Josh Duggar was arrested and placed in jail with no bond. It has something to do with a raid done on his automobile dealership in 2019. His picture upon arrest looks like the criminal he is. By the way, his wife Anna had just announced they were pregnant for the 7th time.
Josh Duggar in trouble again!!! https://www.tmz.com/2021/04/29/josh-duggar-arrested-in-arkansas-feds/
Josh Duggar arrested on federal charges today, just after announcing baby #7 is on the way. My my, I wonder what that could be about.
Man oh man another TLC scandal.
https://people.com/tv/josh-duggar-arrested-being-held-in-jail-in-arkansas/
Josh Duggar has been arrested and is being held without bond in an Arkansas jail.
The former 19 Kids and Counting star was arrested by Homeland Security on Thursday, a representative for the U.S. Marshals Service confirms to PEOPLE. Online jail records do not indicate what charges he was arrested on when he was booked.
&&&
Oh shiiiit!
Homeland Security being the arresting officer is a big clue. They help with child porn.
Dollars to donuts this is kiddie stuff again. Anna? Get away from him before you lose your kids.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FundieSnarkUncensored/comments/n1dn8p/josh_duggar_arrested_megathread/
Reddit has a big thread on this, I'm skimming some of the comments. Everyone thinks it's kiddie porn.
Reddit is funny. They're calling this "Sex Pest Arrest Fest 2021".
The Daily Mail literally refers to Josh Duggar as Sex Pest in virtually every article they write about him. It's in the headline on this story now.
Just saw the news about Josh Duggar and came here to see what was up. The mug shot makes me shudder. And Anna is pregnant with baby #7! She should be more concerned with protecting the kids she has instead of rushing to churn out more babies.
Anna honestly needs to be very careful .... depending on what this is, and whether CPS thinks she has been protecting her kids--they'll throw them all into foster care and take that new baby right from the delivery room before she even knows what's happening. They don't mess around when child molestation is potentially an issue. And you don't need to molest your own kids to lose them.
She's not that bright.
This from the HSI page so if they are involved it must be serious.
HSI investigates a wide array of transnational crime, including:
Terrorism.
National security threats.
Drug trafficking.
Human trafficking.
Money laundering.

Cybercrime.
Human rights violations and war crimes.

That is funny. Equally funny is how much they love following his saga lol.
Hmmm...could this finally be the scandal that derails the Duggar gravy train?
Anybody know how many kids since the sister scandal became public? And how many more since the Ashley Madison? Just curious.
Josh supposedly has an arraignment today at 11am. We'll know soon.
Localyocul (#128), nice to see you!
There is is ..child porn. And Anna had all those kids with him https://twitter.com/phil_lewis_/status/1388172471434633223?s=21
Josh Duggar pled not guilty to receiving/possessing child pornography.
Wow it was child porn! That is so disgusting, I don’t understand how that could be a turn on? His wife knew he was a creep, yet she married him and had 7 babies with him. Says a lot about her. I’m sure he touched his own children, do molesters draw a line? He’s looking at 20 years?
Will CPS consider putting the kids in his parents care? Because I don’t know if that’s any better. What did they do when he touched his sisters? Covered it up, prayed to Jesus? That whole bunch needs serious mental help!
Child porn! I hope he tots in jail.
Josh Duggar Charged with 2 Counts of Child Pornography

You too!
I’m thinking Anna could be looked at for continuing to have kids with a guy she knew molested his sisters......
Sad very sad!

Yuppp child porn folks. Knew it.
Anna? Leave him and ask for monitored visits. He’s going to molest your kids next. He has a disorder.
I could see Josh being mixed up in this.... I read about the illegal adoptions of Marshallese babies in Reddit relating to the "Sex Pest". One woman was sentenced this week for her role in it.
https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2021/apr/28/marshallese-accomplice-to-illegal-adoptions/
They arrested a guy in 2019 for his connection.
Yikes, it really is child porn. His plea was not guilty, but I doubt that he would have been charged if something hadn't been found to back up the charges. Is anyone surprised? I'm not. Disgusted, but not surprised. This is a guy who was a sexual predator even in his young teens. His family has covered up for him, "forgiven" him, and pretended nothing happened. There was no accountability for him, ever. I know the Duggars are major hypocrites, but I'm still shocked at the fact that they are all so focused on having massive numbers of babies, and less interested in caring for the children they already have. And he has continued to have children of his own with Anna, which gives him full access to potential victims. It's all so repulsive. It would be a miracle if his own children haven't been victimized in some way. He is a sick individual and needs to be (finally) held accountable for his actions. His mugshot says it all. He looks the part.
I did a new post about Josh.
