^^^ I agree.

I don't know a marriage that hasn't had to readjust, reconnect, or re-evaluate at some point. Marriage is tough. You have to be stubborn enough to figure out how to make it work, imo.

Too bad they didn't see it before.

I keep saying the same thing, but I just feel so badly for those kids. Divorce is crappy enough, but it's awful that they have to deal with the whole thing playing out in the media.

does she?
well, that's good...even if it is too late to save the marriage, at least she can hopefully fix that part of her personality

I don't feel bad for them. They chose to play this out in front of the cameras. They could have put some effort into fixing the marriage. They didn't. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Someone told me that when you have triplets, your likelihood to divorce is something like 90%. With 8 kids, they had the odds against them.

I can't BEEEE LEEEEEEVE that Jon pulled the "there are soldiers dying in Iraq, why do people care about what I eat for lunch" card.

You obviously wanted people to care what you eat for lunch when you started the show (when, ummm, there were also soldiers dying in Iraq) because I have yet to hear of anyone that gets involved with a television show on any level and doesn't want people to watch or talk about it.

gee_ess · #**516** 06-23-2009, 09:04 AM

So true, 33girl!

The soldiers dying in Iraq comment sounded very staged, or at the very least, like someone else had said it, and he thought it sounded good enough to repeat on camera.

I didn't watch the show, but the headline on Yahoo! news says that the show is continuing despite the divorce. Are they serious? That's just crazy wrong. (Seth and Amy need to do a "Really?!?" segment about this on Weekend Update on SNL.)

Omg I LOVE Seth & Amy's "oh REALLY?" segments! My husband and I often comment on where it may be appropriate.

Seth Myers...are you reading?

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I caught the last five or so minutes last night.

Was it my imagination, or did Jon get his ears pierced? I feel like Jon is having some sort of mid (quarter? third?) life crisis. It's like he woke up, suddenly realized he was thirtyish years old, married with eights kids and was like, "OH S%$." I feel like his behavior over the past or so months has been blatantly irresponsible and immature (especially if some of the stuff I've read in the last couple days is true......

), and I don't blame Kate for divorcing his sorry ass. Grow the hell up.

This whole situation is just disgusting. Those poor kids.

Not imagining. I believe they are BOTH pierced.

On the show, he was saying stuff like "I was way too passive and I just kind of went along with what Kate wanted. I'm really learning how to stand on my own 2 feet now."

That's all well and good, but I wonder if this could have been learned BEFORE they got a divorce.

I don't know. I'm sure that neither of them is 100% responsible for the break up, but I found these statements to be interesting.

I feel so sorry for the kids, but I'm not surprised.

Their network has supposedly suspended the show until Aug. 3rd.

I really hope they suspend the show entirely. These kids do not need to live their lives on TV like that.

Me too.

I mean, divorce is tough enough. It's even tougher on kids when it plays out on TV.

I feel like the show is treading into something that just needs to be private.

I really don't get why they feel the need to continue.

Oh wait, I do know.

It's all about the $$.

Yeah. The thing that bugs me the most is that when they get older, they can watch it ALL. They might even start to resent Kate for continuing the show for the $75K per episode and maybe even for the breakup of two of them.

If they continue the show it would be bad for everyone involved.

Kate says "the show must go on" because she's doing it for the kids. I realize they might not make 75K per book signing or whatever, but I think there are other ways of getting income.

Too bad mom and dad let that horse out of the barn a few years ago.
