I've read through the previous comments & I think its wrong for those of you to bash Jon & Kate.One of the comments said they thought Kate is a B......,if your a woman you know at some point you have been one too.Raising 8 children I'm sure can be very frustrating at times & Kate doesn't hold back just because shes on TV,like some might.I also disagree with the person who thinks they're EXPLOITING their children.If I had 8 kids & had the chance to do a reality series not only to show others what its like to raise that many kids but I'm sure it also helps to have the extra money it brings in so they can buy a lot more things for the children & a bigger home for them.I see nothing wrong with that.All this news about Jons supposed infidelity is also no ones business to judge.We have no idea about whats actually going on & its a private matter that should be between Jon & Kate-who are we to judge them.Its not like any of us know them personally & that would be the only way we could form a rational opinion.Since none of us do know them,its all speculation. I love the show & hope it continues,its one of the few reality shows that is real & not scripted to make them look perfect-because NONE of us are!!!
I love this show. I'm an step dad to 3 kids and I must say that this show is about as real as reality gets. In my opinion the children all seem to be very bright. They all have separate identities, which is great. Too many times I have seen parents of multiples go to the extremes in naming kids variations of the same name and dressing them the same. Its very refreshing to see kids being kids and parents allowing it. As far as Jon I understand his plight he is a husband and husbands must know how to pick their fights. Men who come here and have negative comments about Jon obviously have never been married. It takes a very secure and confident man to do what Jon is doing and not being bothered by what his wife does. In my opinion Kate is no different from any other wife, most women have some type OCD and is insecure
I'm a single parent with one daughter. My daughter is 11 and she and I really enjoy watching Jon & Kate plus 8. It's a great show and Jon and Kate do a great job. I could not imagine having that many kids but if I did I would do the same by taking care of them. My mother had 8 but not at the same time. The only comment I'd like to make because I am divorced and raising my daughter alone. I think it's great that Jon and Kate get away and have dinners alone from time to time. The only thing I notice and my daughter often comments on, is the fact that Kate is so bossy. On several shows I notice how she speaks to Jon as if he was one of the children. I was watching one episode were Madeline commented that her mom bosses her dad around and she's the queen bee. That's the only thing that really bother me. But, it's nothing against the show I just had to express that.

The wife is an obsessive control freak and the husband is spineless to put up with her crap. She screams at him in public.
Kate won't let the kids have any fun for fear of making a mess. What is her problem. They have no friends or family left in their life because they have run everyone off.
I used to like watching the show in the very beginning but the parents have changed. Even the kids attitudes are getting bad. Why do they subject the kids to the constant cameras and lack of privacy.
If you check the message boards, it sounds like the parents are just in it for the money. They canceled a bunch of speaking engagements they had committed to with churches under the pretense of "needing to spend less time away from the kids" - just supposedly to have replaced them with new speaking engagements where they are charging $25,000 to appear.

This show is about a couple,Jon and Kate Gosselin,who have 8 kids. They have 7 year old twins, Cara and Mady, and 4 year old sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel. None of them are identical. Kate is more controlling and incredibly organized. Jon is more laid-back and easy going. This family is picked on a lot, but even though I've never even met them, I can already tell that they're really great people, It is really cute because each of the kids have their own little personalities. From a day in the life, to shopping, to vacations. We get to watch the Gosselins experience it all. I love this show and I really hope they don't stop.
