Jons beahvior on the last episode was RIDICULOUS…Selfish man Baby! snatching the marker from his daughters hand because he was angry Mady said “i Like doing things with Mommy” then he puished the twins for no reason and NO PROPER expalination HE LOOKED like a HUGE baby!
I do not like the way Jon acts and treats the kids. He is a loser. Kate and the kids will survive, but I will miss seeing the children. They are absolutely darling and I love watching them. Wish them the best.
I loved watching their show!I dont know how any man could be that selfish and greedy!Like leaving his wife and eight beautiful children wasn’t enough he didnt stop till the show got canceled! Now how is she gonna support eight children!He said he would do anything for his children no matter what! Then be a man and follow threw with your promise!!!!
The show was cancelled because Jon left the agreement with TLC and didn’t want to do the show anymore. They could continue with Kate and the kids. But if he doesn’t want to be on camera, so?
I think you need to catch up on your Jon and Kate news hun. The show got cancelled because of Jon preventing them from shooting the kids anymore. Hellooo where were you when he posted that gramatically wrong sign in front of the house. Interoverted???? What are you talking about. I can find more things that Jon as said to the paparazzi than Kate has. Take off your blinders, sit down, and google “gosselin”, you will see video after video of Jon talking mess. Also get a twitter account and follow Jon. You will see even more of Jon’s nonsense.
Yeah right, like he talks all the time like Kate. He is in the limelight now, he is going to speak up. He still has a basic introverted personally. I know I studied personalities. Have you?
Now Ken, I have watched most of these episodes from the beginning. I have to partially disagree. Yes, the kids were usually fun/funny, but Kate always had “a moment” it seemed in almost every episode where she’d flip out. How do you go to Disney with 8 kids and not pack an extra set of clothes for the situation? I only have a set of twins, so maybe I just don’t understand, but come on now. Jon getting screamed at at TRU (which they keep showing) when he was actually doing what she told him to do. And you see Kate so much in Mady and her attitude towards everyone/everything. I personally think it’s a direct reflection of her mother.
Absolutely! I know my kid acts like me and I don’t like it. I don’t agree with Jon’s actions, but I don’t agree with Kate either. She wants to control things, so, why not control herself? Think Kate.
LOL. Loooooove your honesty Debbie. I know what you mean about your kids acting like you and not liking it!! (Smile)
Glad it’s OVER!!! HOORAYYYYY!!! No more KATE KATE KATE or JON JON. Kate was just too full of herself, it turned my stomach.
Jom showed tonight with his snarly reaction to the twins what a petulant twerp he had become. Kate was always a bit sharp and obsessive but she did have all the stress firmly on her shoulders. Jon always looked like he needed direction and would not man up to being a co-parent. He behaved like a teenager with the eye-rolling and sighing when Kate was directing the family. Maybe with a stronger man Kate will relax and be less stressed. For the children life and happiness I hope Kate is successful and the good mother I suspect she wants to be.
I have often thought the same thing, Lisbeth…that MAYBE if Kate had married a man with a stronger personality that MAYBE things would have worked out much differently. Then I wonder if Kate WOULD have ever chosen someone with a stronger personality. She seems to always want to run the show even if she HAS said that she always wanted Jon “in the driver’s seat with her in the passenger seat.” When she said that last night I thought,”Hmmmm! Kate, I remember you saying that you didn’t like driving much and especailly on highways.” Bottom line, I STILL think Kate wants Jon around TO WORK and also TO HELP OUT and/or DO HER BIDDING. I wonder how they made it for as long as they did!
Kate sounded more thoughtful and genuine, then she has for a long time. I do think the kids miss the crew, I am not so sure that they are sad about the show stopping or just the change in their daily rountine. I think Jon tryed to take responsibility, but ended up placing blame on being young when all this happened in his life and he didn’t get to experience it. I was apalled that he would take his children to a public event where he knowingly would have media around…there is something completely wrong about that and it made me nauseated. One more thing, his mentioning Hailey and making things work during that last show of jon and kate plus eight seemed a smack in the face.
What’s the big deal? Kate always has media around too. Why not pick on her?
They both suck as parents.
Agree!!!!!!!!!
I agree. I stopped watching the last season simply because I’ve already lived through two parent divorces and watching it on tv didn’t appeal to me. But I am totally on Kate’s side… all I’ve seen of Jon (pre and post break up) was a guy who hadn’t figured out the secret to a good relationship. The partnership – Kate was controlling sure, but she had to be! He never took any initiative and they have 8 kids! I teach dance to kids of all ages and it’s hard enough keeping control of kids for an hour a week let alone 24/7! If the pair of them had confronted their issues earlier and tried to even things out maybe they could’ve saved their marriage, maybe one day they still can. But quite frankly the way Jon’s been acting over this whole thing smacks of mid-life crisis whereas she has been doing a great job raising those kids and still keeping her head held high in spite of it all. But at the end of the day it’s so easy for us all to make comments about the pair of them but what would any of us have done in their situation? And the proof is in the pudding right? Those kids are happy, healthy and seem to be growing up with good morals and common sense and isn’t that the most important thing here? Good luck to them.
Control the kids is one thing, controlling your husband is a no, no.
Hailey, is that you?
I think Kate alluded to the fact that she treated Jon poorly, when she talked about her wants and needs of the stress levels to be shared or taken over by someone else (Jon). I will be very honest here…my husband is very passive and I am a control freak and we have experienced alot of what they have gone through…it has taken alot of work and commitment to make it work, but both people have to want to and both people have to do the hard work
Like so many others, I have watched the show when the little kids were babies. I didn’t watch the show because of Kate or Jon, but for the kids. I found there interaction to be wonderful and amazing. What they said to be so cute and warmed my heart. As wrong as it might be I was hoping to see them grown up…wonder if there interest would stay the same or change. Will the roles of the kids stay the same? I wish the whole family the best and that both Kate and Jon remember what’s important…the reason why I feel in love with the show…their kids.
Amen, Alz! That is why I think he didn’t mind the kids getting photographed at the lemonade stand. Kate might not mind having her kids on tv (good or bad, you decide) but Jon doens’t seem to mind having outside the show media exploiting his children…hmmm sounds like I am on Kate’s side too.
No, some of us who write negative things about them live in the same town as them and have known the way they really are since before the sextuplets were even born.
Unless you actually live in the house that’s impossible.
Well said. As someone who watched this show from the beginning and “related” as I have a child of the same age as the sextuplets (not completely of course — more like if they can deal with 6 I can deal with one). The whole thing has been very sad and I wish the family all the best. They were real and normal people and that’s what I loved about the show.
I’m gonna be honest….i was bawling while watching the last episode. As a veiwer from the very beginning of the show…i will definitly miss watching the kids grow up, no matter how delusional there parents are.
Wow, how pathetic for you. Cry over people who desrve your empathy not these fame b1tches!!
