Kate and Jon,Good for you Jon for standing on your own two feet. Kate has put you down so much I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to confront her and be a man. She is so pushy. She now sounds like she is the one who is suffering the most. Does she want a halo. Poor Kate, Poor, Poor Kate. It's about time you take time and think about the children.Remember, Kate, you're the one who stood in front of the sink and looked out the window and said "This is all mine." If it were not for the children you wouldn't be saying this is all mine. You come off sounding like you are better than other people. Remember this Kate, God didn't make junk. So why have you treated Jon as though he was stupid.I am looking at the Monday night show and it sounds like it is ALL Jon's fault. Maybe you should be some soul searching. You are not the PERFECT being. I personally think you never treated Jon with respect. The way you have always acted it was better for Jon to keep his mouth shut. Dealing with someone like you, would drive anyone away.Your announcement is now known. Thank God you are separating. All of sudden you sound so meek and loving towards the children and especially Jon.Look at like this Kate, it's all yours. Something you always wanted. You now have it. Now you can concentrate on the children. Maybe you should curtail your traveling. I can see it in Jon's eyes, He is happier now. He knows that in order for the children to grow with the right attitude, he has to leave. Thank Jon for his wisdom, Kate. Maybe you should have listened to Jon and learn. If anyone failed my dear Kate, maybe you should grow up and think before you order people around and try to control everyone. Of course, seeing you spank your daughter is not something a parent does in this day and age. If you think you are smarter than Jon, maybe you should learn the real meaning of the words love and caring. You don't get any pity from me. You earn all you get. And you really worked hard for what you are getting. Grow up Kate. All of a sudden everything is Jon's fault. Give yourself teaching tool. Review all the tapes of the show and maybe you can see how this all evolved.All I have heard tonight is "This is for the kids." Do you really mean it or are they only words, Kate.Remember, Kate "What goes around comes back around."Good luck Jon and God bless and help the children. I hope they are not too badly scarred with the way you have acted in this series.I wonder how many of us have written letters like this. Mary Ann B.

I've only been watching the show maybe 3 months. I dont blame Jon for looking elsewhere for companionship. Look at the wicked witch he has to live with!! I do feel she is exploiting the children, they will grow to NOT know what it is to make your first dollar, respect for others, compassion for others, etc. they will all grow up to be 8 little spoiled brats like Paris Hilton. They will have no self respect, dignity or self pride. Their mother needs to take a long look in the mirror to see the woman she has become all in the name of money. Sure having it is great, working for it like my husband and I have and our parents before us have is even greater. We get by and have raised 2 beautiful children that are smart, intelligent and self sufficiecnt. That was are greatest dream come true for them. We had our ups and downs too but still after 24 yrs of marriage we still love each other more every day. Too bad Jon and Kate especially Kate will never get to experience that joy. After raising your kids the best and most dignified way you possible can and I dont mean giving them EVERYTHING they whine for all thats left is to watch their families grow while you grow old and watch them with the other half of yourself that made it all possible. I was hoping they didnt split but its probable best just hope they dont tear the kids apart while dividing up the kitty. Just remember Kate without Jon you wouldnt have had 8.

I discoverd this show in it's third season and loved every minute of it but in the last 6 months I had fallen behind in watching what I had taped. When I discoved that they had bought a beautiful new home I was curious so I tried to catch up. Then came the media frenzy and I was shocked. Like others I had questioned Kate's demeaning behavior toward her husband and her episodes of anger and frustration but, also like others, I had given her the benefit of the doubt that probably a lot of that was for the camera, a little extra for effect for the camera. But it seems that it was more of a problem than I had thought. Kate's organizational abilities have turned into an obsession for complete control.She used to be queen of the home but at least Jon had been the breadwinner. I just recently saw the episode where Jon admits that he quit his job over 2 years ago in order to stay at home so Kate can do her thing. She has finally obtained complete control, and in the process has totally emasculated her husband. And now she wonders what has happend to the man she loved and married? She stripped him of his dignity and his role as breadwinner. She considers the house to be hers, not theirs, but she fails to realize that her adoring fans will abandon her because of her selfishness and then what will become of the beautiful house and her new lifestyle. And more importantly,in spite of what she considers her success, she has failed to provide the basic thing that her children need, a loving and stable homelife. I would like to think that she and Jon could turn this around, but as long as she wants to wear the pants and keep the checkbook I doubt that the marriage can survive and she is to blame, not Jon. This is what she wanted, not what he wanted. Be careful what you ask for, you might get it. And what she has done to her children is unforgiveable. They may love their new home, who wouldn't, but I doubt that they are happy with their parents barely speaking to each other.It's time for Kate to grow up and put her children first, like she used to say she wanted, and for Jon to stand up to her and be an advocate for himself and his children and demand that she spend more time with her children. What a sorry state of affairs for people we have come to care about. And wouldn't you know it, it comes from people who claim to be good "church" people. Maybe they ought to ask them selves, what would a good Christian do, instead of worrying so much about money and pride.

I couldn't watch with my husband around, but I did see recaps in the news. Just look at the kids in pictures lately and they all look sad. I can say things about both of the parents that ws all seem to see. I don't think they are right for each other. Neither one of the parents are happy either. It is very sad to be so young and to be so sad. Do you ever see them smile? Good luch Jon and grow a pair!!!

I love this family but am so disappointed in Jon.He has hurt not only Kate but the children too. I know Kate is very bossy but if Jon is so unhappy why couldn't he tell Or talk with Kate before messing up their lives this way. I do hope they can work things out. It is so sad to me.

Please tell me when or where anyone has seen Kate "YELLING" at the kids? I've watched many an episode and have no clue what anyone is talking about.....someone said something about her yelling at them to stay out of her room....SO WHAT? My kids are not allowed in my room either and NO, they do not have nightmares at night about me yelling and they are FAR from "afraid" to come get me if something is wrong. Whoever wrote that comment does not have kids!

I think Kate is rude at times but she is female. Also I think the house is huge!! And everyone knows she is a control freak! She always has put her children first. With all the rumors going on I really hope it works out. But remember before they were "lucky" and got the on TLC she took care of 8 children 98% of the time and worked part time! It is time for them to have fun. I know they both know that there will become a day again were she will have to work and they will be on a tighter budget. But remember they give back 50% of what the receive and that's better than what most can say!

I really enjoy watching the show. I really believe they needed that new home, its about making a home and future for their kids. They could have taken the money and did anything, they are investing in their children's future. I like Kate I have 3 children and I'm not as organized as she is. on the other hand she doesn't know how to talk to John he is a good father and husband, she is really rude and I believe they would get more opportunites if she wasn't so dramatic. Lets pray that she will change before John really embarrasses her! The Lord has truly blesse them and i pray they will learn to praise God for his blessings more and Kate will learn to be a better wife

Good the Gosselins are prospering, they will need it with the 8. Bad is frequently behaviors from the mother which the kids now emulate so (not) well. Remember, it is the Lord who allows the Gosselins all their prosperity, perks and privileges. I'm not making the rules just the commenting the obvious.

I think Kate and John are so blessed and They need to stop sweating all the little stuff that causes them to argue. Kate's nagging about coupons and John rolling his eyes is so childish....Guys stop the nonsense and just be thankful for every moment LIFE IS SO SHORT. Years from now you will wonder why you were so foolish.

I don't believe that Jon and Kate are exploiting their children for profit. Why not take advantage of the opportunities that are offered to them! This allows them to have the home of their dreams, something they might not be able to afford otherwise. I think that 99.9% of the viewers would do the same. I say good luck to them! Their new home is beautiful and roomy, much better than the small home they had before.

I also think that Jon & Kate has let the children become the "family business" instead of actually working for a living. Kates attitude is much more "I'm better than you" and even tells Jon how to speak, ie "nosepeek" when they were going to one of the out buildings at the new home. I was also amazed how Kate spoke to the children about not coming into the master bedroom AT ALL or they will be severely punished. I don't enjoy watching the show as much as I used to and also prefer watching the reruns because they are more down to earth than now.

Ok, so I'm not a mom, but I started watching the show because of the way Jon & Kate put their children first. Now, however, I'm starting to wonder what's going on. Has money become more important than their children. I understand the need for a bigger house, but come on. If they could not afford a vacation, how could they afford this estate? Also, what does Jon do now? Does he work or do the childen provide their income?

this show has been banned from our home. My children use to be fascinated by the earlier episodes when the kids were babies and in the last year its been vacation after vacation,freeebies, sponsors,church offerings and the last straw for me was when I found out Dad doesn't work and they were buying a million dollar home. Don't get me wrong we live very well but our Dad actually goes to work everyday and puts in about 12 hours a day. We don't peddle our children. How sad. I'll be glad when the show is cancelled, so those kids can enjoy a peaceful life in their new home that "they" bought. Kate is horrid and Dad is spineless

Yes, it took her 4 hours to clean the fridge!! Did anyone notice in the episode after this one she has a brand new stainless steel fridge now...maybe she could have used those 4 hours to play with her kids instead of complaining and cleaning. This show has changed so much...it's become a commercial for all the companies that have donated to this family who no longer need the donations. I miss the way the show used to be...

I forgot to mention that I think their new home is beautiful. Gorgeous views and perfect floor plan/layout.

6/10. Not too bad,lol. I do like the show however Kate annoys me quite a bit. John seems to take alot of her cr*p and I wish he wouldn't. I could never deal with someone treating me like she treats him or the way she overreacts. I am all for saving money however to flip out over $20 is pathetic. Also, the way she told the children to stay out of Mommy & Daddies room is ridiculous. Teach them to knock first and wait for an answer OR not to go in when no one else is in the room. Don't tell them that they are to never go in or there will be severe punishment. Drama queen much? The kids are adorable however Maddie could benefit from therapy; a place to vent and not take her anger out on her siblings.

I did see this episode I have to say the house is GORGEOUS. The internet already has pictures outside of the house which wasn't shown on the episode. What I found mean of Kate regarding the rule for the kids to never step in their room. How mommy and daddy need their privacy and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Im sorry but what parent ever has any privacy at home. I did agree on knocking before entering but never setting foot into the room its a bit too much. My 9yr. old son was also bothered by this. I do not mind letting my 2 children have a sleepover in my room Id do the same if I had 8.

My oh my! Kids not allowed in parents bedroom, children sleeping in the basement,screaming at John about a stupid receipt..all for $20.00? Kate treats him like a child! Discraceful! Doesn't John work anymore? He seems to do EVERYTHING..we rarely see Kate doing anything except yelling,freakin' out about silly things(everyone has dirt in their lives)and PLEASE get Maddie some counseling..her behavior is appalling at times....they used to claim to be Christian..I never hear talk about church anymore??? I will se how it goes ...but the dynamics have changed...and not for the better...the children are adorable and I wish them all well...but please Kate get a grip and start treating John with the respect he deserves!!!
