O.K. I don't know if anyone else has watched their show, but wow, I'm sad to hear that they are getting divorced! Anyway, thought I'd post to see
if anyone else watches the show. So sad...they have 8 kids, obviously, wow...really bummed that they didn't make it...the last show was really really sad
and it seems Kate doesn't necessarily want the divorce. Boo....

I think this would be better in Reel Time, but don't want to move it so you'll lose it. I have not even heard of it, so can't comment.

I haven't watched the show but have been seeing things in the news and listening to people at work talk about it. It is sad.

I had watched the show sporadically, but felt badly that it came to a divorce. I think they came under the microscope of media in a much bigger way than they
ever imagined. Kate said that the show, etc didn't cause it, that they had had trouble communicating for some time, but the whole thing played out in the
media couldn't have helped. Being under a magnifying glass ans seeing everything editted on tv has got to be impossible. I know that they have done the
show because of the income that it generated and to be able to support the kids, but it may have cost them much more than they bargained for.
Even though Kate did come off as very hard on Jon in the way she talked to him at times, she did seem sad that it had come to this. Jon, on the other hand, seemed to be looking forward to a new chapter in life. They definitely did not seem to be on the same page about it all. |

I thought she seemed pretty rough on him sometimes too. I didn't really feel a warm, fuzzy feeling about her. I think too that the income was the bottom
line. It had to be difficult. However, in the end, who was hurt? The kids! All 8 of them. I hate that!!

Wondering, I thought the same thing. I think she could be mean at times but I don't think that gave him a right to cheat on her. I also feel once he saw
all the money, he got so greedy about having a separate life away from his kids. Like you said, he states he is "excited" about his "new
life". I'm disappointed about the whole thing and each week it seems he has a new woman in his life. While I do think Kate was over the top at times,
I just don't understand how you get divorced when you commit to having 8 children. Hmmm....sad.

I actually was mentioning to DD that it's surprising that now HE is the one who is always in the media, getting photographed or quoted. I thought he
DIDN'T like to be in the limelight. He sure is not acting in a way that is going to keep him out of the tabloids. It's more like a kid in a candy store
- now that the divorce is in progress and he doesn't have the responsibility of the children. It must be devastating to Kate to hear about all of this - as
much as she knew that they had issues, I don't think she had wanted this to be the outcome. And, can you imagine what happens when the kids hear any of
this stuff going on?
