Jon and Kate Plus Eight - Page 23

Double posting but I ended up DVRing his appearance on ABC this evening (like a 20/20 special or something) and I ended up turning it off halfway through.

I get that he is not the most media-savvy man on the planet, but really, certain things just don't need to be said on TV while you're in the middle of a divorce.

Also, there are some things that DEFINITELY DON'T need to be on film for your KIDS to potentially see someday.

Whether you feel that way or not, do you really want your kids to hear how much you despise their mother? Or that you "love Haley more than you did Kate?" or how "it's important for you to defend the woman you love" or that she's your soulmate." Geez.

The interviews just strike me as inappropriate. I couldn't help wondering "what if the kids see this?"

I just don't think that either of them are particularly thinking of the fact that they might see what's being said.

No matter what Jon says or does, I still think Kate is a heartless, unnecessary bitch. Someone needs to slap a little niceness and a warm heart into her. I don't care if she has 8 kids. That's their OWN fault (or the doctors'). Just because you have kids doesn't give you the excuse to be a raging bitch. Look at teachers! They deal with people's kids all day. Sure they can turn them over to the parents at the end of the day, but they have restrictions on what they can and can't do to punish those children. Do you see every teacher being a raging bitch? No.

If I were Jon I'd cheat on her ugly ass too. I heard she cut her hair. God I hope so.

As in most divorces, there is fault on both sides, and this case is no different. Both of these people have a TON of baggage - some of which Jon touched on when mentioning his alcoholic father, another is whatever is the situation with Kate and her estranged family. IMO, and I am sure I will be flamed for this, anyone who has relationship issues as large as these two do with their own siblings and family members, is going to have one heck of a time maintaining a healthy marriage unless they get help.

They needed marriage counseling - Jon says he has gone and she has refused. I don't know what the truth is, but at the very least, if they had gotten some sort of counseling about their own personal issues, then they might have been in an emotionally good place to work on their marital issues. As it stands, they both still need independent counseling sessions to prepare for the problems they are undoubtedly going to have with their children.

Kate is overbearing and Jon is immature. Both are selfish.

This.

For the sake of their their relationship with each other [even if they are separated/divorced] and their children, I hope that they both seek counseling. It's impossible to harbor feelings of resentment and not have it negatively affect their children.

How did they wind up with 6 kids on the 2nd pregnancy? Did she do the same procedure as Nadya Suleman (i.e. the octomom)?

I look on the soothsayer of all knowledge, Wikipedia, but it doesn't really get into the nitty gritty.

When they had one of their FAQ episodes, Jon and Kate said that they did an IUI procedure.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 is now just Kate Plus 8.

I also read today that Jon has filed to have the divorce delayed 90 days.

On CNN.com they also said that there might be a show that's just Kate, no kids. Or something like that.

I've never seen the show, but wasn't it a hit because of the kids? Or do people really care about the parents?

Yea, that's what I figured. I only know about these people because of their divorce. Neither one of them seem interesting at all.

But people will still watch reality shows, so I'm sure it'll be a TV favorite

Yeah supposedly it's gonna be a show about Kate exploring "other interests." At least that is what it says on the link KappaMD posted. Who knows, i'm not interested in seeing any other show about Kate or Jon.

I rather the show be "Cara plus 7" or something like that, cause I just like watching the kids. And even then i can do without Maddie.

Seriously, I do not want to watch Kate date. Pass, please.

The kids are adorable but I don't think I'll still be watching. Cute kids don't make up for my disdain for Kate.

I wonder if any man in his right mind would want to date her. Yeah, she might have a lot of money, but she seems like a ballbuster.

I like this! Poor Cara! She seems like such a quiet, Daddy's girl. I worry about her! (I know, these people are not my real friends. I need to worry about people who are actually in my life

)

Regarding Jon's delay - I am guessing Jon has seen the terms of the divorce agreement and he is not happy!! I am also wondering whose decision it was to boot Jon off the show. That is probably cutting into his bachelor fun.
