Ugh. Part of me wants to boycott, while the other part of me is curious.
I''ll probably end up watching it.

Yeah, Jon is coming off as a total a-hole. Kate can stay home with the kids but he can''t? They''re his kids, too! I HATE it when dads act like they''re babysitting their own children.

I think it''s because Kate has left him for weeks at a time...sorry, but I can see his point there. My husband wouldn''t appreciate that either. If Kate can''t handle having the kids for a few days on her own, why is she mad that Jon had a problem with the kids after weeks on his own? She mentions he had help...I imagine she could have had help to plan the party as well, if she had asked someone. I''m not buying the ''poor Kate planning the party all alone act''...

Yeah, but she''s out making $! He lost his job, so why shouldn''t he stay with the kids? If Kate was complaining about watching her kids for a few weeks at a time people would be tearing her apart. I don''t buy the ''poor Kate doing it all herself'' thing either, but at least she''s there. I don''t know, I think Jon is over it so he just wants to bail. But when you have 8 kids, that''s not really a possibility!

That is a big part of their problem I think...Jon is really depressed about not having a job...he said, ''he''s worked his whole life'' - and now doesn''t have a job...you can''t underestimate what losing a job does to a man''s sense of self worth. Top that off with all of the publicity (asked for or not), staying home with 8 kids (I couldn''t do it!) AND his wife being very successful and now being the breadwinner, it''s not a good mix. Not excusing his behavior, just saying I can understand it.

I really listened to the last ten minutes or so and I really think that they are diplomatically trying to announce that they will be seperating. You didn''t hear anything about fixing or saving the marriage...only all this talk about staying friends, not placing blame and so on....

Ditto...what a shame. I wonder if they got counseling at all?
I agree. They both said I will be there for MY kids. I never heard the words "we" or "our" spoken. I also noticed that when they were at the birthday party, Jon referred to Kate as "she" and Kate referred to Jon as "he" instead of using the other''s first name. It sounded very intentional and uncomfortable. All that I could think as I watched it was that it seemed like things were too far gone to reconcile.Date: 5/25/2009 11:15:18 PM

Same. It was all ''I''m here for the kids,'' and not ''We''re working on our marriage.'' It made me really sad. It definitely seems like neither of them was really listening to what the other person was saying, and Kate made a big point of saying, ''I can only speak for MYSELF, not for anybody else, but *I* will be at everything I can...''![]()

I am really, really sad for those children who will be forever changed by this.
Very true. She''s a celebrity now, going through a lot of problems she probably hadn''t counted on, and trying to take no responsibility for the marriage falling apart (on TV!!).Date: 5/26/2009 10:24:40 AM

I did not watch last night so maybe it is not fair for me to comment. Kate (according to articles) is gone over half of the year on speaking engagements. She does NOT seem like a nice woman. She is rude to her fans and seems DRIVEN by money. Do I feel badly that she has to go through marriage problems on national TV? NO WAY! It was THEIR choice to do their show. They have made a fortune. They have nannies, cooks, maids, gardeners, etc...all which NEVER would have happened w/o their show. Show business is all or nothing. You cannot just have the benefits w/o the drawbacks. I feel bad for the kids. They are the ONLY victims. Meanwhile I think the show is boring and they should retire it. It was cute when they were little but now...the charm is gone. She is NOT an everyday woman making it work which I believe is what made the show successful at first. Anyone who thinks that is greatly mislead.
