The last two episodes were good...but boring. I am glad that the kids are getting out and exploring the world as well as spending time with Kate. It was nice to see her spending time with the kids by herself instead of being away. Of course I knew it would be the last 5 minutes of the show before they showed anything about the controversy and then they really didn't reveal anything that I didn't know before. (To tell you the truth...it was quite uninformative and a big tease.)
My husband was in the room and said quite bluntly, "This is what all the commericals about." And laughed. (He could care less about Jon and Kate, actually he hates the show. Not because of Kate, but because he thinks it is a silly show. Anyway... he has several times that Kate didn't seem bad in the beginning.) So that got me to thinking...when they were talking about Kate's style changing I wondered if it just wasn't her outfits that have changed through the years. I came to my conclusion (IMO) that yes Kate has changed. I still like the show and I still like Kate but I do believe that she has changed. (But doesn't everybody). Think about it. Are you still the same person you were 10 years ago, 5 years ago, or even 2 years ago? I know I am not. While some may like who I have changed into, others not so much. And I think that Kate and Jon are at that road. She has come from a (well to be perfectly honest...a frumpy, young mom who couldn't care less about what she looked or even smelled like) to a ...well how do I put this gently...as MILF. ( And you know you were thinking it too.) Now I am not sure if that is what she wants to be associated with or not but that can be what is perceived by some.
So it leads us up to were we are now. Jon not really knowing were he fits into all this. I believe that he would be happy being at a 9-5 job doing what he loves...working on and with computers. I mean yeah who wouldn't want to be home all the time when you have been working your butt off for I don't know how many years...but after being home and day after day your only interaction is kids and other moms (when you yourself are a dad) it can be hard. My husband went through this (being home all day with our youngest daughter when we didn't put her into daycare that day) and let me tell you it drove him nuts. Because he wasn't doing what he loved and I was gone all day everyday until 5:30. And on occasion he would let me know. (Not in a condescending way...but a way of just sharing his feelings.) And I understood...I wanted him to be happy. Maybe Kate should do the same thing.
My last point, and this is truly my personal opinion and observation. While I am glad that Kate has found something she loves doing and wants to continue doing I am surprised that with everything going on she has so many dates away from him and their family. While I DO NOT THINK JON HAS CHEATED, it is obvious that there are problems in their marriage. I believe that by making yourself more absent no matter how little the days are put a bigger wedge in your marriage. While I do not think they will fall apart...I do know that if whatever is coming between them will grow bigger and Jon might (and I do say might) look elsewhere for someone to listen to him. Whether it be on the Internet or locally...I believe they should take an extended break from the cameras.
But seeing as though they have already started filming season 5 I guess one can only hope.
What do you all think about what they said?

Loved your post, it truly is a balanced observation, more so than other sites. I found it funny that Bree and Orson had this same dilemma on Desperate Housewives the night before, I'm sure the outcome will be the same.
Are they really already filming season 5?
I want to say something but I really dont know what to say. Maybe "they" need help themselvs, they have said themselves there are NO books in bringing up mulitples. Maybe they need abit of help on how to communicate to each other, just cuz Kate barks outs the orders in her gruff ways doesnt make it right. Maybe a good counsleor could help?Since the start of the show , has anyone seen Kate bath the kids , get them up in the morning, dress them? Ive seen Jon , bath wash hair dress them take them out ect etc. Kate cooks and does the laundry well part of it others fold and put away. Maybe she needs to get stuck in more. Does she stil have help at the new house? Why does Kate always correct Jons sentences in the chair for their interviews? Ive always tried to keep an open mind with her and think to myself what if I had cameras in my face all the time.Well I for one am not going to watch the show anymore I think they should get off the air and live thier lives in private. I hope they will all be happy and have productive lives. God Bless the children. Jon and Kate watch over your kids .
Personally, I feel that Kate has become quite wrapped up in "Kate", and has arrived at this place due to the fame and fortune of accidentally becoming a mother of multiples. She didn't get this fame and fortuen by earning it; if anyone has earned it; it's not Kate. What the heck does she even do? It seems that she wants everyone to notice her "change in style" and even wants to make an episode about that!!!! She has referred to her looks more than once; remember the episode where Jon said Kate has "anti-aged"? She even wants to preserve Jon's youthful looks, instead of loving him for what he is, and letting him grow older naturally. I loved her when she was just a normal Mom, not a model for Ann Taylor. Everyone is so wrapped up in "what Kate's wearing" or how "Kate has her hair-cut".......is this show about the life of sextuplets, or about the styles of Kate Gosselin? She has become something that I have dredded; self centered and driven by fame and fortune. I see her focus all of a sudden being shifted from raising her children and being a Mommy, to suddenly being a fashion plate, and being noticed as a celebrity with her new style. And, this "career" that she is speaking of has no merit to it. She is the mother of sextuplets, and a former nurse. She doesn't have a degree in journalism or has aating career (unless what we see IS acting?)so her raking this all in and becoming so wrapped up in her looks and style, really has me seeing her in a new light. I miss the old Kate from seasons 2-3, when she seemd to be dedicated to being a Mommy to those PRECIOUS darling little children, instead of worrying how the public eye notices her appearance. It's now shallow.
OH Anonymous 5:59 Ive posted that too about her new career ? what is it? if its that book well we know whats in there from the show! Ive stuck up for Kate on many occasions here in posts but Im finding it hard pressed to understand her now. Why isnt she home? I think they should stop the show and get back to real life and living for their children and helping them be the best people they can be.If they had a Christmas special or something thats more than enough now . I say let those kids be kids and in a NORMAL way no camera no film crew! I feel now they lost their focus , I only hope they can refocus and find their way back to being a family in all true sense of the word.... Good Luck Gosselins.
I just want to know where Kate got the dress she has on in a photo in us magazine...the black dress with ruffles around bottom...she wore it in Ny on April 2??????

I'm sick of the bs supposed "caught on camera" pictures....leave them alone! Every marriage and every family has a problem. They are a public icon....they can't go to the bathroom without someone making a mountain out of an anthill, there. Oh, Kate has made many trips to the restroom...I wonder if she is pregnant again....oh my gosh, is it Jon's? Du Du Dunnnnn Give me a break. I do agree that the book-thing is a little much, but usually book-signings and tours are only for a while and then she'll be home. I think it is a good break for Jon and Kate...they need to regroup, and remember why they fell in love with eachother...and look into each of those pairs of eyes that are looking at them and idolizing their every move and wonder why God put them here. They are amazing and wonderful parents and truly ipitomize the "American dream"! My heart goes out to Jon and Kate...if it was a mistake, then get back up, brush yourselves off and get back on the track! We're only human and we're all entitled to be human! My plea to the Gosselin's...remember where you came from because you are entirely beautiful and smart people. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY! Eat those tabloids for breakfast and move on! You're bigger than they are! LOVE TO ALL OF THE GOSSELIN'S AND YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS! YOU WILL PREVAIL! MUAH!

to the last blogger.....get a life!!!!!! gosslins chose to be in the public eye, therefore they get EVERYTHING that goes with it. If they were so sorried about there marriage they would be taking time off and not signing a contract to do several more seasons. Kate is only worried about making more money. It's now about the money!!!!! Her kids and family have been put on the back burner. I lived down the street from them and the tv show is such a front, they have had help from the beginning and they still have daily help, never,never are they alone with the kids,Jon does most of the care giving, Kate is not even close to mother material, she is cold and standoffish with the kids, what you see on tv is very much for the show...believe me i seen it daily!!!!!!!
HMMMMM. Sure is funny that there is no one that knows Kate or Jon personally posting anything 'good' about them. Is there a neighbor that will stick up for them, or maybe other 'helpers'? I would be interested in hearing from them.
I have read many 'eye witnesses' trashing the Gosselin. (ex: Jody and Julie) It is extremely hard to believe that everyone's impression of the Gosselins is so negative.
People's lives do change when they become so called 'celebrities'. Which I have a hard time putting the Gosselins in that catagory. Julia Roberts, George Clooney, they are celebrities in my eyes, but I suppose if there are followers, the followees need to be put into the celebrity catagory.
I love the show. In my area, they are having a "Jon Kate Plus 8" marathon that has been showing reruns all weekend long. I have sat and watched for several hours.
I have watched with scrutiny, trying to pick up on body language and other clues to prove some of the horrible things that have been said about them.
I believe Kate is a very good mother. I believe John to be typical of the average father of today. Kate is very fortunate that she does get 'helpers', many women are not that fortunate. The little bantering that goes on between Jon and Kate are pretty normal stuff. I was always surprised that they didn't cut some of it out in editing, but, it is supposed to be reality T.V.
Until someone asks Kate and Jon, why does Jody and Julie have such conflicts, we will only know one side of the story. Numerous things could have caused the conflicts. It is truly uncool for relatives to trash each other in public, even if it is true.
Whether Jon or Kate has been unfaithful to each other....that is a toss up. It happens every day in our society. Why should it surprise anyone. Probably half the couples on my block has been unfaithful to their mate. I believe that they can work their way through this. I hope that they can.
Blame? Blame gets you nowhere.
I really hate to see people feed on someone else's misery. Whether or not they keep the show going is their business. I am sure it will all work out fine. The children are wonderful kids. They aren't old enough to put on a front. What you see on the show is real with the children. They are showing there true feelings and it is obvious that those kids love their parents. You can bank on it.
I think everyone needs to let there problems cool and have a little trust in their decisions.
Thank you, Anonymous blogger on May 24th! The May 7th anon blogger at 9:45am is clueless....how can anyone be so close-minded about what they are watching on TV...hello....editing....editing for ratings....duh. Anyway, I know they are fantastic parents...I do not believe they have cheated on eachother. Kate is probably contracted with agents and bookings, so for her to cache and run home because the papparazzi think they have dirt or TMZ doctored a photo is just silly. They will figure it out. And if the worst comes out of this and they split, those kids will still have 2 loving parents. I, too, would love to hear the talk from personal friends or neighbors...I do not believe they are money-driven...I think they have a good thing going and just need to deal with their problems on their own. It isn't anyone else's business. IN DUE TIME....They have my blessings and God will help them along the way.
Keep your chins up, Gosselins...you will prevail!
