They probably don't. Remember the twins birthday when Mady storming in the house, kicked a balloon and went to her bedroom for a half an hour? She probably got off the bus saw the camera crew and was mad because she knew she would have to "work" from the get go instead of having cake with her family.

Or maybe she just came home grouchy from school like my sister used to every single day. 30 minutes later she would be fine, but yep...she would stomp in the house every day at that age...

Interesting article. I didn't read all of the comments but I personally liked the first 1. "
"If Dr. Gosselin was still around this BS wouldn't be happening"

I wounder if Jon's dad would have given him a swift kick in the pants?

Oh man, look who's coming to reality TV...

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/octo-mom-signs-reality-tv-deal/23179

That is one reality show I won't watch

 

[I'mNoPrince]

haven't went through everything but Todays Baltimore Sun said they opening a Child Labor investagation now.

 

[DreaGirl]

What strikes me as odd with the OctoMom is that she has 14 kids and people are condemning her for signing a deal for a reality show. Yet, one of the main arguments for J&K to continue their show is that they have 8 kids to pay for and raise and send to college. What's the difference? Is it because she is a single mom? Is it because she had kids before she had the 8 (as did J&K)? I'm just curious.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think OctoMom should have a reality show, but I also don't think J&K should continue their show.

I won't watch this woman show. I think she did have more kids just to get money and benefits. There have been several calls into child protection service on her on case of abuse.

and the Duggars .. they get as much crap for their lifestyle as they do for the number of children, but I've not seen many comments that suggest they have to do their show to support their family. that may be because they were financially sound before TLC came calling, but I'm not sure that's why.

It's been said in one of the earlier threads .. Jon and Kate are asthestically pleasing, they have a gorgeous family and a compelling story. It draws people in. Only after hearing the back story do some people take a step back and say WTH?

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

The thing that bothered me the most about the show on Memorial Day was when Colin came up to thank his mom for the birthday party. He said Thank You Mom for my birthday, twice and Kate totally ignored him and seemed to be staring into space, or watching something at a distance. It was only when Colin's preschool teacher who was standing next to Kate said, "Oh How Sweet that he is thanking you" or something to that effect, that Kate turned around and paid attention to Colin.

OMG! I totally noticed this, also. It was like she was putting on a show for the preschool teacher or cameras by the show of affection. It seemed overdone to me (you all can flog me for that statement, but that's the way I saw it! ).

I thought she was looking at the paparazzi in the woods when she was spaced out. She totally seemed to enjoy them being there, even if she said she didn't.

At the time, Grogan was a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Gosselin sextuplets had just celebrated their first birthday. In his column, the writer criticized Kate Gosselin’s demand that Medicaid—and taxpayers—continue to pay for the nurse the family referred to as “a second mommy.” (That nurse, Angela Krall, has since publicly painted Kate Gosselin as an ungrateful mom and nightmare of a boss.)
In the article, Grogan admitted that the Gosselins needed help with childcare and called on the community to step in and help with the babies. But he called Kate Gosselin’s request for the state to foot the tab for a paid nurse “ridiculous,” pointing out that the children no longer needed in-home medical care. “The once fragile children are now robust; they do not need a nurse,” he wrote. He then reminded his readers: “Besides, Gosselin is a registered nurse herself.”
During their interview, Gosselin defended her request, telling Grogan that she couldn’t afford to pay a nanny or babysitter “even $6 an hour” on Jon’s income. He asked why, then, she didn’t go back to work herself. Her response? The family van couldn’t hold all eight kids in one trip and they couldn’t afford a bigger one. And if she did work, she said, her paycheck would just end up going to daycare fees. “Welcome to the world of working parents,” Grogan wrote in response.
Grogan also called for the Gosselins to take responsibility for their overwhelming brood. “Gosselin, a registered nurse, knew the risks of taking fertility drugs,” he wrote. “Even after delivering twins on the first go-round, she rolled the dice again. And now she wants the state to pay for her gamble?”
While Grogan said he wanted to feel sympatheti c to Kate Gosselin, he said she “radiated a sense of entitlement and inflexibility.” The writer also predicted that the family would face trouble in the future, saying “they have brought upon the makings of a desperate situation” that would be “a recipe for a meltdown.” Looks like Grogan’s prediction has come to pass--Jon and Kate Gosselin have dominated the tabloids in recent weeks as stories about infidelity and marital ******* between the pair continue to surface.

I got this in an email from my sister this morning she lives in NJ not very far from Philly. This is about an article the author of "Marley and Me" something Grogan, he wrote it when he was on staff as a writer for the Philladelphia Inquierer, I gave it a quick read and thought it was interesting. I never read or saw "Marley and me" I heard it was a tough watch if you were a pet lover, and I am. I can't watch the commercials with Sara Mclaughlin for the ASPCA without balling. I have to run out but just wanted to post it for y'all. Have a great day!

I didn't see it like that at all. LOL image that

 

[Tikitoi]

I won't be watching Octomom show as I don't even watch j&k, you hear enough about it in the media. And besides, I still don't understand why people are paid to be parents. Something they chose to become.

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I tend to be negative in Kate's regard. I try to be fair, but it's hard for me!!!

Here is one of the comments. This lady feels very strongly and I agree with a lot she says but some I think is wrong. Just thought I would post it.




Observing the mess---let me help you out....those two ARE stealing. They are accepting speaking fees and "love offerings" at churches; from people who live in trailer houses...because they say that they are having a hard time paying their bills. When in fact, everytime they make an appearance at at church, they church gifts them with money; and guess what? SO DOES TLC!! TLC PAYS them for making personal appearances, because it promotes the show! They steal from churches and church people.

They are feigning a "happy family" and "hardship"; to get free things---and fame. Everything they do is a lie...so that is stealing!

Kate is seen trying to save money by making bulk soup 'for the winter'--while they are busy buying a 1.3 million dollar home! Both things were in the same episode!

Their kids wear donated clothes, while mom is out buying $300 shoes; and dad is buying his girlfriend $400 purses! Kate is seen screaming at Jon to use a coupon, for a shower head, but then they buy a TWO passenger sports car. On the show, they are seen only driving around in that van; but in fact, they have 3 cars too.

They lie and pretend to be good Christians, even renewing their godly wedding vows...when in fact they have an agreement to date other people! Sure they deny it; but they also denied the million dollar mansion and the sports cars too! One thing is for sure, they have not kept the commandment to "honor your parents"; Kate cut them out of their lives. Even after Kates parents watched the twins for months, while Kate was on bedrest with the sextuplets. She cut those twins off from her parents, and denied them from seeing the sextuplets. This was cruel for the kids and the grandparents. She also cut Jon's family out of their lives...except his dad, who was wealthy, and who in fact paid all their bills.

The television show, "Special Delivery" remodelled their house. And Kate was rude and hateful about it. Not thankful at all. Many people worked very hard on that house. So what, if she didn't like the style....she could have been graceful about it. But, she is never graceful.

She said horrible, rude things about the man she bought her dogs from. Mocking him, and saying he talked too much. She said this on air! She did the same to Steve Thomas, who was kind enough to put solar panels on their house.

Kate's parent's church, donated truckloads of clothes and cribs; only to be tossed aside by Kate. They weren't good enough for her! They were not matching clothes, or cribs.

She is ungrateful, rude and has said that society "owes her".

On the show Kate wears modest clothes, but when out and about, she is in leather and mini skirts!

She sells books claiming to be a good mom, but she doesn't even take care of the kids, and doesn't see them for weeks at a time. She never bathed her kids, nor put them to bed...she never played with them; nor allowed them any friends. She is very cruel to her sons. Refusing to allow them to deocrate or eat their 4th birthday cupcakes; while their sisters were allowed to do so. She refused to go on "special days" with ther boys.She made those boys sleep alone on a dark laundry room floor, when they were sick; she didn't go to the emergency room, when the Nanny took one of them there with an injury---which would scare any 4 year old child! She mocks her children; slaps, hits and yells at them; even when they thanked her for the puppies, she said, 'WELL, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!!!"....she torures them with throwing away their comfort items, and withdrawing the people they love from their lives.

She is rude, hateful, cruel and mean. And her husband allows her to torture his kids, so that he can have money to play. So, THAT is why people hate them!

That's why this thread is so fun, there's always going to be some interesting points of view. If everyone agreed with one another, then it wouldn't be as interesting to me...

No wonder Kate needs a bodyguard. This person sounds crazy

Some people also say that the appeal of J&k is that when you watch it it makes you feel better about your life. I read into that as it makes you feel better about your marriage, or maybe that's just me!
