Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

is their anywhere to watch online? I checked TLC and all they had were sneak peaks.

It's just sad that things have gotten so far out of hand. In watching the marathon, it was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I mean, you could see this coming for a long time, to a certain extent. I think Jon has probably had so much hostility building for so long from all the criticizing and correcting of him that Kate has done for so long -- I just find myself wondering why. Why does she feel the need to do it? I find myself wanting to ask her "Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?"

I also think Kate has built herself up in her mind tobe a martyr. She kept talking about planning the party all by herself, but Cara and Mady were helping with the gift bags. As far as the bouncy stuff-is it really neccesary for help calling the phone numbers? Then she kept saying the kids were thanking her and they didn't have to. Well I imagine they heard her constant complaining about 'doing it alone' and felt bad. I say give her an Oscar for Best Actress. Then in the car she said 'Look it's the Papparazzi' then one of the boys said 'what's papparazzi' and she said it's bad when her 5 year old says 'look mom it's papparazzi' when that's not what happened.

Bottom line I think this has went to her head. She is not the same mom she was in the beginning. I think she thinks she is a star.

Well, this is sort of a double-edged sword. I have to give Kate credit for writing the books, trying to make a living for her kids. I'm sure part of the entire publishing process includes book signings. When a band has a new record they promote it with a tour. The same probably goes for a new book. So I can't really fault her for that. I also have to say I can't really fault her for improving her looks. She has every right to improve herself. I don't think it's very kind of her though, to keep after Jon to lose weight, fix his hair, turn back time to look the way he did when they were dating. You can't go back and recreate the magic of a new relationship. Kids change the entire dynamic of a marriage. But it doesn't have to be a negative change. I really believe kids enhance a good marriage. If Jon and Kate really do some serious soul searching, hopefully with a real professional who can help them get to the root of what is going on with each of them, they can save this marriage. Those kids are getting older and while there will be new challenges as they get older, the diapers and needing constant supervision and stuff like that are over now so that should be some sort of a bright spot for them. They can do this. In spite of everything that's happened, I still hope they figure it out.

I see nothing wrong with her doing the signings!! She was the one watching all 8 before Jon Quit his job (and didn't he get a job with her friends hubby)? so he could spend more family time? Kate had a life before Jon I read somewhere she was a nurse or something, so that with the book $$ she'll be fine (too bad they bought that new house though!!)

Is a book tour worth losing your marraige? Not everyone is well suited to stay at home mom/dad life. If Jon's unhappy in the situation, something should change. They have to BOTH be happy, not just her. Maybe they need a nanny and 2 jobs? Who knows.

I just find it so typical! He had no problem for the first what 7 or 9 years they had kids she stayed home and was the full time parent!! He should try it and why he is complaining is beyond me Aren't the babies 5? He has it made!! No diapers no bottles etc! He needs to man up and stop whining!!

When a Mother chooses to have a child it is a "selfless" act.

What she gave up is not an issue but a "choice"....and should never be used as an excuse.

Those kids didn't ask to be born......they didn't ask to be put through this.

Their parents chose it for them....

There are "choices" in one lives they must make as parents and none of them should be selfish.

This family needs time to heal and being on TV is not the way to do it.

But that's their "choice".

Anyone see the pics of her spankingher kid outside the house? not a good choice

Is spanking against the law? My parents spanked me, and I behaved a heck of alot better and had more respect for authority then my own kids( I don't hit them, not because I don't want to Im just afraid of nosy people butting into my bussiness)JMO)If it was cara( the one tht is always moody and acts bratty @times) she probably had it coming! I know some times when I watch I say that kid needs some hot sauce!JMO!

On that ITA!!! But 8 kids must be stressfull. I have 2 with ADHD and one with emotional problems(+ my little girl who for the most part is a great kid(thank God!!) and every single day is a challenge. So I feel for her (Just a little)! I can't imagine being in her shoes!!

I guess the new "talk" now, is the bottle of water issue she denied Mady while doing an interview.

Has anyone seen this clip? I was just curious....I have not seen it either.

since not every minute is shown. It is very likely she had already had some and Kate was trying to avoid a bathroom break. I know how tuff it is with 3 kids I can't imagine 8! I think she is a good mom! Just alittle anal(sp) but hey who isn't!!
