Same goes for Kate's parents- they are alive but they are not part of her daily life-- they aren't a part of her brother's life either.
We did meet Gammy (Jon's Mom's Mom) on the 3rd birthday episode.

I know what you mean. I went there once and I just couldn't believe at some of the things they were saying! I was reading somewhere that the family was on public assistance after the 6 pack was born (obviously before they caught the eye of the Discovery Channel). Anyway, some lady from the Gosselin's old town wrote something criticizing Kate in her blog. Beth (Kate's friend to the rescue/babysitter/home redesigner) commented back and defended her friend. It was quite entertaining.
It was neat to learn more about Jon's dad when they took the kids to the dentist. It's nice that Jon and the kids still go to the office his father started.
Funny what you learn on message boards. The boys' last names are in honor of Jon, Kevin (Kate's brother), and Thomas (Jon's dad). And the girls? Faith. Hope. Joy.
