Jon and Kate, plus 8 and two more?

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I figured things were starting to get desperate when they had the big "wedding" episode a few months back.

Random thought.....

I bet Jon will go on and become a porn star...

MY mom and dad had 6, 1 really nasty girl, four boys, each a year apart and a girl 6 years after the last boy. It can be down. My mom was the Terminator, dad was the silent partner.....

My mom did have the mouth, but she was never abusive, the way Kate is to her hubby.

Three things that killed this marriage is the show, her (Kate's) desire to be a perfect mom and her attitude towards Jon.. What she will not admit is that she is a woman who has a 'compulsive disease' -everything is a list that has to be checked off, in order and done in the time frame she sets up.

------------------------------------------

Dude,
I can imagine that in another marriage, some cuckoo/fruity nut cake would have made sure the new playhouse was situated over the shallow grave.


I just heard a radio clip of Jon saying that they were separating...Hmmmmm...
Just because the filed papers does not mean they will divorce.


IT's just a vacation, Jon will come visit his testes, Kate will realize she needs pro help and the show MUST GO ON!

I have an idea for a future show..... an interview with Dr. Phil as the mediator. Seriously, I think they need to look at themselves through the eyes of someone else. They are too busy defending their own positions in this. I have concerns with Jon planning a move to New York. I have a feeling he is just going to sort of "drop off the scene" totally - not just the TV scene. I hope not, but I think he has some wild oats he has yet to sow and wants to get away from the husband/dad role for a while.

The playhouse thing was some good insight into their problems. He told her where he wanted to put them and she didn't pay attention to what he was saying until the things actually arrived. Kate had a good idea about the placement of the playhouses but why did she wait so long to discuss this with Jon. It's about COMMUNICATION or, in their case, lack of it.

P.S. to Richard. They did file divorce papers yesterday. I think this is the real deal.

It is difficult for me to feel sympathy towards Kate. There had to be some moments in the last 3 years when she realized that she treats Jon (and the kids, IMO) like 2nd rate citizens. To hear her now, she is just coming to this realization that she might not have been that perfect. Duh. Most of us know when we cross the line...we do it anyhow, but, we know it.

I know she has 8 kids, I am one of 8 kids myself. No, not all at once, of course. But, she ran that house like an obsessed crazy woman. Who in their right mind mops a kitchen floor 6 times a day? Who pulls out a dresser and notices the dust on the baseboard and fires the house cleaner over it? Who puts their sick child on the floor of the laundry room on a towel...so that vomit doesn't get on the bed clothes? If these are the things that are shown on TV, what must go on when no one is looking? I would imagine she has some form of OCD...and he seems more easy going. That would be tough to deal with for each person.

People divorce for many reasons, the kids shouldn't be a reason to do it or not do it. Is it sad? Yes, very. But, life does go on, even in a divorced situation.

If the rumors of Jon apartment hunting in New York are true, I find it very hard to see how he intends to stay that involved in his children's lives.

I've always had compassion for Kate. I figured all her demanding ways came out of fear of things. She has to have things a certain way or she freaks. I really don't think it's because she's mean -- I think she has panic attacks or OCD issues.

Jon is pretty passive. I think she felt she had to step up to the plate and take charge because he didn't want to take that role. Nothing wrong with that, but then don't beat up the person who took charge because you didn't want to.

Jon will never read this, but if I would tell him that if he wants his wife to stop treating him like one of the children, he needs to stop acting like one of them.

there is truth to this.....so let jon have custody and watch how that new girlfriend moves on. as for the porn career....has anyone else seen the promos for the HBO show "Hung"?

[caseysmom]

I'm not that organized but I admire how organized she is and he definetely looks dopey on the show.

[catnapper]

I have been waiting for this separation to come! They're local -- only 15 minutes from me. They used to live in a house a few blocks from me (when they first started with the first TLC documentary) We see Jon all over -- he's always in his car just driving around aimlessly (or so it seems.... and who could blame him to do that just to get OUT of that house?!)

Their house is a thousand times more gorgeous in person. The area is simply beautiful! We were googling the aerial view from work yesterday. The address is no longer showing online, but we all knew where to look anyway

They go to the local church where a lot of family friends go. A lot of my friends and friend's friends have revealed a lot of what REALLY goes on in the family. Lets just say shecomes off BETTER on TV than she is in real life. She's actually somewhat polite on TV. In real life, she's more snotty. If you can believe it!

My friend has a child who is friend with all the kids. She refuses to tell me anything, except "Kate does the best she can with the situation". Hmmmmmmmmm.... I'm not quite sure what that means.

You should hear all the conversations going on around here about them. It seems EVERYONE has a different story to tell about what Kate is really like. Nobody in the church likes her. They have soooo many stories about how she acts towards the congregation. I had a little old man in my store a few weeks ago. My chin dropped with what he said. Shocking because of how the old guy worded it, and shocking how snobby she was from day one (I can PM some of the stories - but don't want to post here because of it being second hand, in case of liability and such)

"Hung" is about an interior decorator that likes art and paintings....

LOL! Now there is a weasel whom we haven't heard from lately. I wonder what your "girlfriend" Nancy Grace has to say about all of this? She actually makes Kate look meek.

[lizbud]

Wow, I am amazed that so many people actually spend the time
to watch this show.

[caseysmom]

I am couch bound and desperate Thats my excuse!

Not to change the subject away from Jon & Kate, but how is your foot doing these days? How much longer for the cast, and being house bound?
