The Gosselins

Even couples that are at odds like Jon and Kate Gosselin come together to see their children off on the first day of school. In the midst of their divorce, the parents set their differences aside to bid their twin daughters, Cara and Mady, goodbye at the bus stop. When classes resumed at my child's school this week, I noticed that most of the pupils had both mom and pop present for the big day. Many siblings were also there to show their support. What does your family do?

Did Both Parents Bid Child Goodbye on First Day of School?

Yes — It's a family affair!

No — One parent takes care of this task.

The outspoken and conservative co-host of The View, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, has been known to raise eyebrows (particularly those of her counterparts) with her firm statements and perspectives on topical issues. While the mom of three is on maternity leave with her family's newest addition, baby Isaiah, another mama who has made headlines will slip into her spot at the table. It's been announced that the most well-known mother of multiples, Kate Gosselin will get comfy chatting with Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd on September 14th and 15th. The reality star and mom to eight has also been known to strike a cord with viewers be it good or bad. Who would you rather watch?

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

Yes — I agree with what she said.

No — I disagree with her sentiment.

Regis put Kate on the spot this morning when the talk show host told the mom of eight that he sees a reconciliation in her future with Jon. After admitting he's only seen one episode of their TLC series, Regis was pretty definite in his opinion that the couple's very public breakup will twist into a Cinderella story. If you were Kate, would you want a happily-ever-after with Jon?

Would You Take Jon Gosselin Back If You Were Kate?

Yes — Kate should put the kids first and reconcile with their father.

No — Jon's antics make it impossible for Kate to take him back.

Jon and Kate Gosselin may be in the midst of a divorce, but their show will return with new episodes Monday. During the hiatus, the former couple took time to focus on their family and navigate their way through the difficult time. They made it clear that the Gosselin abode was purchased for their eight children and that the parents would rotate turns with the twins and sextuplets.

Jon recently purchased a Manhattan bachelor pad where he stays when Kate has the kids. Earlier this week, it was rumored that Kate had her sights set on property in Maryland, but the story was refuted when statements were made that the reality mom plans to remain close to her children even when it's Jon's turn to care for them. If you were in this situation, would you take advantage of the freedom to flee during your breaks or would you stay near?

Stay close — I'd still want to be near my kids even if I wasn't with them.

Flee with opportunity — I'd take advantage of my me time.
