I'm watching "Kate Plus Eight"....

[Kellydelly]

That must vary by hospital. Neither my sister or Mom (RN's) changed bedpans. That was the job of CNA's.

If your RN family members never cleaned up a bedpan or any sort of "accident" I would be surprised. Just because it is in the scope of a CNA to help with toileting pts, that doesn't mean the RNs aren't doing it too. I had a nurse aide put a pt on a bedpan the other night and promptly go on break while the pt was still on it .

I personally think that Kate's OCD probably makes her a good nurse, her personality might lend itself to an area of nursing where the pts aren't awake . Does anyone know what kind of nurse she worked as before she became rich and famous?

According to an article I found online, she was a registered nurse working in labor & delivery at Reading Hospital. For some reason that sounds wrong to me though. Maybe that's what she was before she had the sextuplets, but I thought back in the first specials when she still worked part time, maybe weekends, if I recall, she was a different type of nurse.

I don't believe Kate is a germaphobe or has OCD. I think she is merely a control freak and loves to boss people around.

True, I remember on an episode, Jon was washing out the van because urine at sloshed out of the little potties that the kids used in the van, if that isn't disgusting I don't know what is, who in their right mind would leave pee in there long enough to have to spill and smell up the van. Plus she does hair in the kitchen, Excuse me, but why do you think people that work in the food industry wear hair nets. You don't comb your hair n the kitchen. She is just a total control freak. Just ask Jamie and the salad.

She was a dialysis nurse. There was an episode about it, the kids made snacks and brought them to the dialysis patients.

I'm so enjoying this thread! Thanks to all who think that Reality TV is not ever a good thing for minors.

Thanks to all who realise that legislation is needed to protect minors from exploitation from the "Kates" and TLCs out there.

The Gosselin threads have always been interesting. I tried to hang in there on posting the "this is not a good thing" perspective for a very long while.

There were some quite rabid "Kate Gosselin Fans" who bullied many sensible thinkers away from those threads.

Yep, I agree, and moderators who let them bully and then banned the bullied posters

Thanks to all of you who agree with me that Kate is (somewhat, sometimes, quite regularly, and quite dreadfully) very mentally unhealthy.

And I can say that without viewing the latest trainwreck. Apparently it was really bad.

I'm so glad to see many of you sensible thinkers back here now.
This type of TV exposure is NOT good for children. It is exploitation.

I hope that the cancellation of the show helps these children to regain their childhoods out of the public eye.

I hope that Kate can find her own career independent of the children.

On the downside, I also think that there will be "specials" and "updates" on the Gosselin Eight. I don't think Kate will ever be able to sell herself on TV without the kids.

I wish the Gosselin 8 the best. They have worked very hard to support Kate's dream lifestyle. I hope their college funds are well supported.

Kate is, as us Haters have been telling you all these years, an exploitative, horrible woman and mother who suffers from Classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder...
She does not love her children, she is not capable of it.

NPD is not curable, she will never get better or chillax.

Everything us haters have told you has come true...

We told you so...

You need to stand behind Jon now, you should have been doing this from the beginning but Im sure it was hard for some to believe that a mother could be so bad, Mothers are supposed to love and protect, but Kate doesnt...

Jon never cheated, Kate did. Then told him it was over...
Remember Ashleys statement of "Its always about him"

If you thought Kate was bad on the show just wait till you see what she does the next year when no one wants to hire her.

But remember I told you so,

From People magazine:

Some benefits of their old life will continue. Steve Neild, the security expert who is often by Kate's side, will REMAIN a fixture. "He's always going to be with us. He and his wife are friends," she says. "He has moved from security to top adviser and road manager."

To me, this is very telling. No more show, no more need for a bodyguard. Perfect chance for him to say, "Goodbye, Kate. Nice knowing you - take care." (In that great accent, of course ) For whatever reason, he *wants* to stay with her.

 

[brittsmum1998]

I am glad I am not Steve's wife, friend or no friend. That relationship is just a little too close for comfort for me.

I don't know of anyone who got banned on the Kate threads or any mods who would have allowed bullying and banned a bullied person..what are you talking about? Just because there is more than one opinion doesn't mean anyone was bullied. Some people did stop posting because they didn't care for all the hate, and started a blog elsewhere.

 

[CathrynRose]

4) As for Kate and Steve I have prepared a handy timeline http://preesi.lefora.com/2011/07/14/jon-kate-cheating-timeline-for-clarity/

I don't know if your time line is accurate or correct, but I LOVE it.

Thanks for posting.

Does anyone doubt she had a **** job? A good bra can only do so much.

I don't.

And she's had Botox. She states she hasn't and says she can still move her eyebrows - so can anyone who gets a good Botox dose. Only bad or inexperienced Botox injectors will give you this: look.

LOL! That cracks me up every time If there is a bra that can really produce those results, I want one!

This is Kate we're talking about- if a bra could really do ALL THAT then she would be first in line for an endorsement deal....

Too true And maybe Steve could chime in as a "satisfied customer".

 

[CdnCarrie]

She was a dialysis nurse. There was an episode about it, the kids made snacks and brought them to the dialysis patients.

She was an L & D nurse before she had kids. Then afterwards was doing some shifts in dialysis. She discussed in her book Multiple Blessings.

 

[sookie]

She treats him like her favorite kid to me.

Just like she treated jon - except he was the least favorite kid. he was even behind joel (the kid she is always picking on!!)

Oh please. What a rude post! You don't know Kate personally and have no idea what her feelings are towards her children. How absurd.

We don't need you to tell us anything. We can all form our own opinions. Srop with all the pop psychology mumble jumble. No one belives that you diagnosis a reality star with a real medical diagnosis.

 

[OhMari]

YOu and I don't agree on much about Kate Gosselin, but I think I have to go with you on this one. People on another board are screaming about how they must be more than friends because she knows that he doesn't eat salad or mac n cheese. Well I guess that I am romantically involved with a lot of my friends because I know some of their likes and dislikes. It only takes a few meals together to figure out some of what people like and don't like. Also from what I understand body guards spend a lot of time with the people they are taking care of, so I am not sure their relationship is anything inappropriate, very close yes, but that doesn't make it wrong.

I posted this question a few pages back, but I asked if anyone could name a Reality Star or a Celebrity Security Guard. I'm still sticking with the rumor that Kate and Steve are an item.

So I caught the People magazine at the store and it took me forever to find the stinking cover article. Even checked the Table of Contents and had a hard time finding "Cover Story" which I thought they usually include so that you can immediately jump to the page. They didn't label it that way--and I did find it. Wow was it crammed between a lot of ads.

Anyway--the one thing that jumped out at me....Mady wants to be a Disney channel star.

Sure--my kid does as well...but I find it interesting that it was mentioned in an article and was wondering if that was a KG ploy for her kid and whether or not she honestly things Disney would welcome her along with her kid. My understanding of that industry--Kate is not the type of mom that producers and directors want to deal with on a regular basis.

Kate mentioned it on one of her "Today Show" interviews too. Many Disney Stars turn out okay, but many do end up with lots of problems. Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Brittany Spears.

 

[Disney Ella]

Did you see or read about Kate's Today show appearance today? She responded to Jon's comment that it's time to get a real job. She says that it may be okay for Jon to live a mediocre life, but not for her and the kids. So having a job outside of the entertainment industry is now living in mediocrity?
