GOD love The gosslin children my heart goes out to them they were throwing into the lion's den without a choice, the parents are self centered, greedy and only care about money and what trips they can get from that show, kate acts like a witch and jon is so immiture to the point he moved to new york and left his children what is the matter with these two self centered people wake up and take your rose coloured subglasses of these children are suffering with the both of your antics i don;t think you both deserve such beautiful children that you were blessed with

She's doing the talk show(s) for attention, she has low self esteem right now, her husband openly cheated and is openly an AHOLE, for all of the public to see. Let any one of us deal with it and let's see how tactful we can react. I doubt anyone should criticize her for how she is handling her current situation. I don't think she nor Jon went into the show on TLC with the knowledge that it would tear their family apart, so give it a break, give them a break. She's a single mom now and she isn't sure how to handle it yet, given time and given time for the media attention to settle down and move on, she will be fine and so will their children.

I feel sorry for Kate only because of the vicious statements and actions by Jon Gosselin to date. He has been proven to be a liar and cheat with terrible advisors and legal counsel. His lawyer is a joke and now he needs to find a new lawyer in PA for the divorce, and a MD lawyer to fight with TLC in their contract dispute. People do divorce and bad things happen, but I think that this divorce needs to be done and the parties involved move on the best way they can.

I don't feel sorry for Kate with the "I do it for the kids", "I can't pay my bills" and "I am a mom first" statements, though. These are meant to garner sympathy only, not 100% truthful. If she were doing things for the kids, she would not be giving interviews about the divorce AT ALL. She would stay quiet and handle things in the court, period. And, I would have gone to court for every single one of Jon's sleazy tactics, including trying to stop him legally from speaking publicly about her. She has several bank accounts and money saved, she is by no means unable to pay any bills. Jon stole that money which she shouldn't have, she should have gone to court immediately and left it at that. If she were doing it solely for the kids as she said, she would be with them more often, only giving interviews if and when needed for the show or publicity for the show - totally around her visitation schedule with Jon. There are weeks where neither of them are with the kids at all. And don't get me started on them giving the dogs back!

Sorry for the long post, had to vent.

Thank you for this article. I find it offensive that Kate Gosselin has so quickly turned to portraying herself as a "single mother" in an attempt to garner sympathy. While she might be a "single mother" in the literal sense, with her entourage and fulltime help she will never appreciate the struggles the true single mothers out there deal with on a daily basis.

The wedding ring debacle is, in true Kate-speak, horrendously horrendous. The very notion of Kate having such a discussion with her children and her children reacting as she claims is preposterous. Her reaction when asked about the children receiving rings was, in my opinion, disturbing. Her children have been working to support the family, and her inability to recognize this borders on delusional. Finally, (and I know this is a long post!), has Kate really forgot so soon that she had no medical insurance when the sextuplets were born or for the first 2 years following, costing the Pennsylvania taxpayers well over a million dollars? Has Kate forgotten that she claimed being unable to feed her children then and sent requests for money to family, friends and her church congregation? Has Kate forgotten that it was just earlier this month that she claimed that, once again, she was unable to pay her bills? Maybe, just maybe, this time when Kate gets a job she should sock some away for a rainy day.

What rough time? I know plenty of women who are single mothers who really don't have money to put food on the table. Why would I feel sorry for somebody who has a housekeeper, a nanny, a chef, a babysitter, a groundskeeper, etc? The fact that you even asked that questions shows just how out of touch you are with reality - just like Kate.

Thanks for your comment. Perhaps you had not enough time to read the entire article. Would you mind reading it again and then ask again if we are out of touch in the way you indicated?

Of course the children will remember when their parents got divorced. All children do, not just the ones on TV. Everyone is making way to big a deal out of the divorce of a couple who has a TV show. People get divorced all the time, everyday. Get over it already!

exactly!
