Do You Agree With Kate Gosselin's Opinion of Jon as a Dad?

August 25, 2009

Tonight, Kate Gosselin talked to Larry King about the future of her family's show, the well being of her children and how she's handing her impending divorce. When asked if she thinks her soon-to-be ex is a good dad, the reality star said, "He is. (long pause) His decisions right now are not ones that I would necessarily make, but down deep in his heart I know that he is." What's your opinion?

OMG she can be so ridiculously vague!!! Just say you don't like his dating so soon and his choice in women!

omg, kathie lee would only say that because she wants people to talk about her and her kids and her husband. jon is a slacker dad. he got more than he bargained for and gave up on his family. kate might irritate some people, but she is there being a mom while going through the divorce. this is the hard part. the vacations and the silly part while jon was there was the easy part. i can't stand him. and he's so physically unattractive i don't get how all these women are after him :ponder:

i think kathy lee summed it up best (she was on following kate). she said something to the effect of "no one cares" and i LOVED that. this jon and kate thing has been so drawn out and it looked totally evident that kate was trying to come off as the victim last night - choosing her words carefully and wanting her privacy ... like someone said above, if she wants privacy then why go on larry king? she's annoying. and, she needs to go!

I quite enjoyed the long pause before she answered...that spoke volumes to me. But who knows for all we know she is a crappy mum.

But I think Jon's probably not being all that he can be in the dad department.

Whoever is coaching her is MONEY. She's coming across as less catty and more of a martyr and she's going to gain some sympathy after this appearance. Oh, Hollywood.

I agree with the Anon poster above me. Obviously we do not really know Jon. He looks like a fool to me from what I've seen of him lately, but I do not really know what he's like otherwise. From what I've seen of him in past and recent episodes, he seemed much happier and involved in the past episodes. It seems like he is really enjoying his "bachelor" life now.

I find the "who are we to judge" comments hilarious. This is a GOSSIP WEBSITE. And "Kate Goslin" and "sense and decency" do not belong in the same sentence.

First off, she knows him better than we do, so who are we to judge? And secondly, I think that even if she didn't think he was a good dad, she at least has the sense and decency not to say it on national television.

If she wants privacy, methinks she shouldn't have gone on Larry King.

Your actions in your personal life, outside of family life do not have to reflect who you are in the family. Honestly, my dad is a very personable guy and people thought he was a great dad (from the outside looking in) but little did they know he was actually an abuser. I don't know Jon, so I can't comment on if he is a good father, but he may very well be.
