Jon sues Kate for the Eight?

I wish they would spilt custody 50/50

Well I think all the kids would love to live with their dad if they had a choice.

Heck, I've been with my wonderful husband for over 40 years. And I know my kids would have rather just lived with him if we had ever split up. No rules, no dishes, no curfew, he'd pay for the first car and insurance, etc.
They are all grown up now, and they would still agree that he would have made their lives a lot more fun.

He'd have to DRASTICALLY change his lifestyle and I don't think he wants that. Remember when he was "excited" to be starting his new bachelor life? Remember how he said he had the kids "so young" ? He doesn't want these kids, he wants attention.

Yeah, but they raised Kate and Jon.........

Yea,but kate was just 1 rotten apple out to the bunch, her other brothers and sisters as far as we know are all right.

I am not on either side here except to hope that everyone involved makes the children a priority, that includes the parents, lawyers, TLC network and the judge/arbitrator. I think Kate showed her true colors when the show was on and it seems like she hasn't changed. As for Jon, I think he was in a bad marriage and went wild when it was over. Neither is right in their actions but I think Kate is the one who drives the decisions to make the big bucks and with that she sacrificed a lot of what is beneficial for the children. Did she not watch any of the episodes??? Her stint on DWTS shows that she hasn't changed, she still comes across like she is entitled and can walk all over people. My comment about the custody and child support being re-evaluated is driven by the fact that Kate is making a great deal of money right now with the dancing show and her new book that's coming out and apparently she is not allowing him to see the kids while she is away which I feel is sad.

Sorry, I think Kate got that way because she was married to a lazy big baby.

My two cents:

Both of them are selfish and just out for the money here. Kate is a tyrant who wants to control everyone and everything around her. She had a huge fight with her partner the first week of DWTS because he didn't just roll over and take it like Jon did all those years. She was actually trying to tell him that HE, THE PROFESSIONAL DANCER, was doing it wrong, and started the whole crying, my life is so tough bit when he called her on it and told her to shut it and take direction. It has been an ongonig problem from what I am seeing from rehersal footage. She is always bossing, and then crying when she is not allowed to run the reherasl. She has got to learn to let go and stop trying to tell everyone around her what to do, and when and how to do it. That is at least part of what ended her marriage. Jon needs to stop chasing tail and trying to be famous and get a real job. He spent entirely too much time buckling to Kate and just taking it before he lost it completely. Taht doen't entitle him to a second childhood. He needs to get over himself, grow a backbone, and start being a man. Both of them need to step OUT of the spotlight, downsize their lives, and try to live like normal people. If not for their own sakes, then for their children. Thise children really do not need to be on tv any more. They have enough to deal with. The problem is that they have gotten too used to living the way they do. I think they feel like they cannot give up the multimillion dollar house, designer clothes for all of them, $8000 hairdo's ect. They have to come to grips with the fact that they can and need to give up those things and try to live a normal life for the sake of their children.

uh no....she was trying to tell him how she learned, that is very important and he should have listened instead of being all high and mighty, "I teach teachers how to teach" uh yeah, dummy, you teach DANCE teachers, not someone who doesn't have a freaking clue. I for one thought Tony was being a total donkey at that time.

For the record, I think she's a horrible dancer and needs to go home, but I don't think she has done anything wrong on the show.

Well I think all the kids would love to live with their dad if they had a choice.

That's why Maddie said to him, "we never do fun stuff when mom is gone" I have no doubt that the kids love their father, but I don't think they would be happy living with him. He never really seemed to care if they wanted to do something or not.

Yea,but kate was just 1 rotten apple out to the bunch, her other brothers and sisters as far as we know are all right.

I don't think Kate is a "rotten apple" just someone trying to live their life and take care of her kids to the best of her ability.

How do you know though?

I enjoyed my dad when I was real little on custody visits--but I quickly...learned, if you will that he was not my desired parent.

You just can't judge children whom you don't know and how they will feel--even if they were on a tv show.

My dad also gave up custody. It was just easier on his life that way. Much like Jon, although my dad wasn't doing quite what Jon did and was Navy career driven.

But children can sense when they are dropped b/c they interfere with someone's lifestyle. Unless Jon opts to lie to his children about it, that is.
