Jon and Kate Plus 8, Official Thread-Part 3

[Singleminnie]

I'm glad that coffee in the morning is keeping your marriage together. In order for my marriage to work however, the key is to not speak to me until I've been up for at least a half hour!



It is real life for some people. I knew a few mothers that slept in while their husbands took care of the kids in the morning.

I hate the "mother has to get up with the children" mentality. My ex husband had that...one of the many reasons why he is my ex.

Obviously the kids weren't screaming in their cribs or she wouldn't have been sleeping. I gave my DD18 a bottle in her bed in the morning way past the age she should have gotten a bottle, but it meant two extra hours of sleep for me, so I did it and she stayed in her crib while I slept.

My Ex thought the same thing too. I am now a single mother of three and I work outside the home full time too. I help get three girls ready in the morning and drop them off a three different schools and put in a full day of work then do the pick ups. My day starts at 5:15 am, so on Sat. the girls know they must stay in bed rest/read etc till 8 am before coming to get me. Lately it has been really easy since they have been more active/tired and recently we all slept until 9:30 am, wow! Saturdays are my only day to sleep in, as we go to church on Sundays, so I don't feel bad about it. I was not able to do this when I was married, either. We are going to a Luau tonight which will mean a late night, so I hope everyone will sleep in tomorrow!

BTW I saw Kate's pic on people magagzine and it looked like it was lying down and not that bad.

Um, it's the J&K thread so we were free to discuss things pertaining to them. I didn't realize there were certain things off limits... I only brought this up because the poster below said she knew of an article where Jon was the one keener to have more babies after Cara and Mady.

I know what thread this is....I've been here since it started. All I was saying is that the kids are here.....Jon is the father.....they did fertility treatments so it was not a surprise to him......the tups are 5 now, so talking about weather or not he wanted them 6 years ago is just taking up internet space for no reason.

Or a Moo point as Joey from friends would say!!

Where's the mooing cow smilie when you need it?

You were actually the one who said you were going to try and find the article that said Jon was keener on having more kids and Kate was worried about multiple births. I was only trying to show you that from what I've read, the opposite was true.

I'm still looking for it - can't remember what UK newspaper it was.....memory, what memory?
I only mentioned it because there was a lot of comments saying Jon was practically pushed into having more children. I was just pointing out that I had heard the exact opposite. : But then Michelle made my point a lot clearer!

Do we have to start saying "the general you" again? Apparently. I was referring to the general you.

we might have to for our new friends

4 pages in just a few hours. I can't keep up.

As I said I posted what I did because a previous poster was saying she thought she heard Jon was the one wanting more kids. I can post what I like regardless of whether you think I'm taking up internet space as you said. Sheesh, why are acting so irritated? I certainly wouldn't call your posts a waste of internet space. We can all discuss what we like, apart from religion of course! Would you consider all the pages about Kate's hair as taking up internet space for no reason?

Wow, I didn't realize that this thread needed approval by its owners before posting. My mistake, sorry.

Maybe I am irritated because I haven't slept in 2 weeks due to the new puppy in my house...maybe I am irritated because arguing about things that don't matter is pretty silly in my opinion, and I could care less if you told me that my posts were a waste of internet space. I don't really take anything said to me in the internet personal.

Yes, I would totally consider those pages about Kate's hair a waste of space...she likes it...that's all that matters..

Wow, I didn't realize that this thread needed approval by its owners before posting. My mistake, sorry.

It's ok....we'll let it slide this time...

What bothers me now and has always bothered me is this ...

People (GWOP, etc.) have never liked Kate since Day One. First they complained that she was getting free clothes from Gymboree. They complained when she got other free merchandise to use in her home (it's called "product placement, btw). They complained when she got free trips. Or when she got VIP treatment at events. Not to mention an income from the show. Which she used to buy a large house. Etc, etc, etc.

Now that the marriage is in trouble, no one cares about the how's or why's. All they seem to have is ill-concealed glee that Kate's "gravy train" is over. And that includes her own brother.

Jon is wrong for using Kevin and Jodi (who have long ago declared themselves Kate's enemy) to speak for himself. He's a big boy, where is his side of the story? Kate is perceived as being the bad guy because she's defending herself in the press.

I'm not sure I get it. And of course, I am not referring to EVERYONE on this entire thread. I am referring to everyone on GWOP.

These were very interesting video's of John. I assume they are about a year old or less. He talks about their families, and friends. Indicates that the friends are still very much a part of their lives, (including Beth and Bob) but did not want to be on the show anymore, because of all the calls they got, and the bothering. Sounds like he is still much in his families lifes. Sounds like Kate is still involved with her siblings, but that her mom is remarried and not involved with any of her grandchildren. Just an interesting watch. Who knows what is true and what isn't.

Do we know when this was taped? So now Jon has his own secret thing? And something to do with the Olympics?

Gosh, I never said coffe in the morning is what is keeping my marriage together. I would be a pretty one dimensional person if that was the case. My career when I was first married had me travelling quite a bit. When I was home I made an effort to spend the time I had with my husband whether it be a cup of coffe or a walk after dinner. My 20 marriage is kept together with love and respect. We still love our coffee together.

There is a new post on Aunt Jodi's sister's website.

Sorry I guess it was posted yesterday. I really need some sleep!

I believe the interview was in January 2009.

It's not you. This thread has been moving at the speed of lightning lately, but it's been pretty much the same banter, so another post of the same entry isn't gonna rock the boat.

I wish I was in Disney World...

Michelle, come on October 1st or 2nd so you can have Grand Marniers with Madge and me!!!

OK, back to JK8...

 

[Buckalew11]

From what I read and have heard Jon was less than excited about having more kids after the twins. Those quotes from 3prettyprincesses are what I heard Kate saying on TV. The last quote about Kate mourning and wanting another baby to be a mommy again was after they thought about adopting a child and for some reason, did not and she was mourning the child or the prospect of having another child.

 

[Buckalew11]

So wait, I watch the Jon interview from January (possibly--makes sense to me) and there is supposed to be part 2 of the interview??? Also, did you hear him say "soon" under his breath when he was talking about the show someday coming to an end?

That interview didn't sound like anything was wrong within their marriage at that point but yet now, possibly 4 months later everything has gone so wrong. I know he could have been covering up but he sounded "in" to it all to me.

 

[jpaxton1118]

I am so confussed by that interview. Jon is defending Kate and says she is more layed back now and he seemed honest about it. How did they go from that to where they are now? I just can not imagine this is a publicity stunt but after hearing that...

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

My mother in law is not a nice person at all to anyone, not even her own children which is half of the reason I do not like her, the other half is she has NEVER been nice to me even when I try. She has even tried to split my husband and I up. But I still let her come around until my husband says other wise, which will be a happy day believe me!!

Do we have the same MIL?????

OK, back to JK8...

It looks like DH is getting a new job which means more moola ....so keep your fingers crossed...I haven't said anything about it yet...but trust me...the wheels are spinning!!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I have no problem with Jon and Kate relying on God, and I would love to discuss how God provides for my family (even the simple stuff) when I least expect it, but it's not allowed on the Dis to discuss religion. If we continue this conversation, this thread will be closed, and I don't want that to happen

I made the mistake of saying I was a Christian once and it got way out of hand. I agree with your statement here, DMRick. I don't want this thread shut down, either!
