Their image is tarnished but everyone still seems to want to watch their lives unfold and crumble.
Jon never really wanted the 2nd pregnancy. He was happy with the twins and didn''t want any more but Kate wanted ''just one more'' and went on fertility drugs. I think she thrives on attention and Jon hates it. The poor kids are stuck in the middle and have to live their lives in a fish bowl. Who wants videos of themselves on YouTube being spanked? Who wants the world to see their time-outs, melt downs, fake birthday parties and bickering parents. These kids will pay the price big time.

Agreed. But I don''t feel sorry for him for it. If he really wanted to stop at 2 then he shouldn''t have agreed to go along with the fertility treatments, whether he felt bullied into it or not. If he chose to be a pushover abot it, then he made his choice and he now has to accept the consequences of that choice. There comes a time when one has to really stand up for one''s beliefs and I don''t think he''s managed to do that yet. He keeps going along with Kate to avoid having to be a big boy and stand up for himself. It''s the easy way out and there are consequences to that. Sadly, it''s the children who are really going to pay. I think it''s awful that it''s out there that he really didn''t want another pregnancy because when those kids get older they''re going to know that he didn''t want them.
Yes. Between the earrings, the sprots car, the girlfriend, he is absolutely having an early midlife crisis.Date: 6/22/2009 9:37:24 PM

Is Jon wearing EARRINGS on BOTH ears??? He''s going through early midlife crisis.
My thoughts exactly! I don''t think I''ve ever seen an entire episode, but turned it on tonight just to see what all the hoopla is about. Noticed his ear piercings first thing and wondered if he''d always had them (never remember seeing them before) or if it was a new thing that''s just another part of all the drama.Date: 6/22/2009 9:37:24 PM

To be honest, I don''t watch the show, and am still not watching... however, I still don''t understand why everyone is so against Kate. I haven''t seen a single tabloid picture where Jon had all the kids at the park, or the beach, or to dinner.Date: 6/22/2009 9:49:18 PM

Does anyone hate Jon after watching this...
I boiled over when he said he was ''excited''![]()
Kate isn''t innocent...she''s been tough. But Jon has lost my total respect. He''s certianly going through something...Date: 6/22/2009 9:54:38 PM

Italia, I think he''s total scum and that is strictly from stories and pictures. His attitude on the show that you are describing really doesn''t surpirse me. I''ve thought that Kate got the shaft in this entire thing.
I heard today that he is going to get a loft in NYC, I believe along the Hudson. Mid-life crisis would be spot on IMO. What I can''t stand is that he doesn''t even seem to care about the kids. People can trash Kate all they want, but at least she is still there.
I get that. Has she not always been controlling, or has it gotten that much worse over the time of the show?Date: 6/22/2009 9:57:23 PM

Meresal, Kates general attitude has put a lot of people off. She was always ''by the book'' and would come down hard on Jon for things that many people would let it go.
I have found her ''hard to watch'' at times...over the top, maybe. But my feelings have shifted. If, behind the scenes, Jon has slowly been becoming who he is now, I can see why she would be a live wire. For some people puting on a happy face is easy, maybe for Kate -- she''s not able to ''act'' like everything is normal. Couple his behavior with rasing 8 kids...I think I''d be a mirror image of her.
His attitude tonight disgusted me. He was all full of shrugs and lazy answers...''my kids this'' ''my kids that''...where were his kids when he was playing around with that teacher? What then? He even said ''I''m sad...but excited for this new chapter..I''m only 32''. Well Jon, this is your life, my friend...32 or not, it''s forever--so man the f*** up.
My heart broke for Kate when she was talking about her feelings. She was very human tonight. She admitted to being scared and not wanting to do it alone. Sure part of it was the kids--maybe 95%--but she always spoke from her heart and it touched me.
