Interesting that TLC, NOT the parents, stopped the show. Jon and Kate Exploit 8, indeed.

Who cares if they're exploited those kids will be rich. Worth it. My Dad used to kick my ass boohoo. His Dad used to kick his ass even more AND make him walk 1 hour to school in the snow. Boohoo. Awwww they're exploited. Give me a break.

It's bad enough these brat kids will be complaining to their $120 therapist in 5 years but that everybody else is crying about is ridiculous.

These kids don't have to fight WWII, or the Civil Rights movements-- who cares.

I saw a commercial for the show where it should Kate dabbing none existent tears.....to be fair it was only a snippet and she could have had uncontrollable sobbing prior to that......kinda doubt it.....

I suggest for those who pray we need to pray for the kids....I have concerns about kids growing up like they have

They should just quit the show and try to heal their family - but they won't. Or, at least she won't. Producers, stage hands, drivers, gardeners, and even fellow vacationers she ran into say the woman is mean, insufferable, and an overall jackass.

As for him - he needs to get out the "booze earring motorcycle girlfriend" phase and act like a father to his kids even if his wife is a harpy from hell.

Don’t worry, they will replace this show with Octomom’s show.

Jon: I am only 32 and my whole life is in front of me. (Get really buddy. You have eight kids to care for - man the hell up!)
Kate: I can’t believe this is happening. (Shut up! Maybe if you had honored your husband, he wouldn’t be cheating. Just shut up!)

Because if they had been thinking about their kids' well-being, couldn't they have been in couples therapy for the last year, working out these relationship issues so it didn't have to come to this?

If they'd been thinking of their kids, neither one would have been so selfish and narcissistic to *step out* on the other. Frankly, if they'd EVER thought of their kids, they never would have done this stupid TV show in the first place!

I can barely imagine the stress of 8x little kids would have on a marriage, then ontop of it your every move watched by the camera and air before the public. Wouldn’t be easy.

Having said that, it was their coice to take the money and live in the public eye. You can’t play the blame game and then keep taking the money.

Own up, buck up, and shut up.

My wife watches the show and occasionally I catch it.

My impression:
Kate’s a ball-breaking harpy, for whom there isn’t such a thing as stooping too low. 90% of the stuff in the show is her giving him a hard time about stupid stuff.

Jon’s a narcissistic wuss. He needs to Man-up, become a Father and more importantly, assert himself. Going out, getting an earring, a motorcycle and a girlfriend isn’t exactly what he needed to do.

The kids are a bunch of spoiled little brats. Sorry, but 5-year olds do NOT wear bibs for meals.

I saw parts of that. I saw that man-hater/ball-buster talking like::

“We have made a decision for peace. We found peace and reached a fork in the road to bring peace. We traveled down good memories and hope we can find happiness at this fork of memories peace.”

I said “What? Who talks like that?”

John said..... “I am sick and tired of her sh**. I am tired of being her 9th child. I am finally standing on my own two feet. To hell with her”

Well, he didn’t say exactly that, but in so many words. Nevertheless... I stood up in applause when he said it.

Was anyone else bored to tears watching the repetitive and monotonous statements about their divorce made by Jon and Kate Gosselin on last night's show?

I was not bored by it at all. When that show's title shows across the bottom of my screen I press the button again. I have my own family. I have no interest in the story of two parents who have sold theirs.

Ugghhh, my wife watches that show. A year ago I said I can't wait for it to be Jon minus 9. His wife is a colossal emasculating B*(&^%.

That being said, very uncool for him to move several states away from his kids. A few towns, sure. But Trump Towers in NYC? Very uncool.

Poor kids is right. These people pimped out their family for money and fame, and now the kids are going to suffer from a broken home too. Jon and Kate are typical Americans these days. Displaying pure selfishness and cowardess.

Dude, those kids do not look anything like her, they look exactly like him. You would think he would be more interested in keeping the family together.

There is no low for these “adults”.

I just went over to their website. Kate and Jon have “devotionals” and “prayers”. I wonder ... will they be redefining divorce now?

I couldn't resist. I went over to the devotionals. Here's the verse for today:

Matt 7:12 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Such simple words that hold such heavy meaning. I try to teach my children this daily... Whenever they squabble over a toy (which I might add, is VERY often!) This verse is referred to as the Golden rule. Recently, I was reading a Berenstein Bears book about this verse to
Hannah. In the book, Sister bear excluded a new girl from her play group at school. She felt very guilty about it and remembered a time when she was excluded and how she felt. Her mommy taught her about the golden rule and she went to school the next day and treated the new
girl how she would have wanted to be treated! She invited her to join her play group!
What a great book about this verse! When we are tempted to treat others less than well, we need to remember that God loves us and created each of us equally no matter our abilities, appearance or talents! I admit, sometimes that is a very hard thing to do!!!!! Lord, please help us to treat others the way we want to be treated remembering that you love us and created us equally!!!!! Amen.

Other recent verses include:

Isaiah 40:31
Philippians 2:14
Psalm 139: 9-10
Isaiah 40:29
Philippians 4:13
Romans 12:21

These two “parents” never cease to amaze me with their money driven hypocrisy and immaturity all for SELF SERVING purposes.
