Please don't bash me. Just sitting here typing and strange question enters my head. I don't watch this show, but all the gossip about them makes me wonder, again, please don't bash me, did Kate have all those children just so she could have her own reality show? I mean, who in their right mind has 6 children? At one time? I suppose all the stuff on Octomom got me wondering.
I'll go back to work now.

First of all, Jon and Kate did not have
octuplets. They had 2 girls previously (I believe through fertility treatments) and then went on to have another fertility treatment, this time ending up with sextuplets.
Secondly, they had the emotional and financial support to have these children. I do not believe the taxpayers ever had to support their children. Yes, I do believe they are using their children for financial gain now, but I don't believe they were forced to do so in order to care/provide for them.
The main difference I see is that octomom already had 6 children that she couldn't care for and then went on to bring 8 more into it.
Jon & Kate
I thought Kate seemed to be hinting at a specific problem that had been going on for a long time, but I don't think it is other women. I think Jon might have a drinking problem. I noticed that since they been being interviewed on the couch separately, his speech is slurred and he seems very lethargic. Or maybe it is just severe depression because he never smiles anymore. He used to be so light-hearted, even when Kate picked on him.
Jon and Kate show
I watch all the time. I definitely think they will divorce, but I hope not. Those kids are the cutest and I have followed them for years. I think they actually probably split months ago too as one of the little girls said she missed her dad. On earlier shows Kate was very obvious the one that ruled in the family, but with that many kids a person would have to organized to the hilt. Money has broken the family apart and one could tell from last season he did not want it to go on. I can see both sides. There is no way that either one of them would make the money doing what they did in the past. I do hope they can work things out, but I am so skeptical about them staying together. They did not hardly look at each other on the season opener last night and I cannot believe he did not meet them at Party City. Lots of this stuff is staged too, but it was very obvious he was probably not lilving at home anymore. Most of the other couples that have done Reality Shows have divorcing. I hope they work it out, but really doubt it. We all dream of lots of money like they are most likely getting, but they have basically become prisoners in their own home too. Its takes two to work it out and I am not so sure they can do it. It might just be too late. Everyone deserves a second change and we are not in their shoes, but if they did not do the show anymore they might make it work. Good luck and God prayers that it will work out for everyone.
Don't forget that Kate has also
been accused of cheating with her bodyguard. At least Jon is man enough to acknowledge that he made mistakes in their marriage which is something Kate did not do until last night with her fake tears. She also cheated on the boyfriend before Jon.
I quit watching the show after she insisted that she never had any help with the kids, prepared all meals, rarely took vacations as it was not in their budget and could not afford to and overall, very frugal. It came out that she had nannies, a personal chef, all vacations were paid for, cosmetic work paid for, 75,000 an episode, 3,000 speaking fee - seems she lies about a lot of things so why not cheating?
The way she made a fool of Jon was an outrage with her constant yelling and demaning way.
Should they divorce, I hope Jon gets full custody. Those kids are nothing but a meal ticket to her. She has exploited them from day one. I also heard that she put down another famly that had sextuplets - guess she is getting nervous but that family said they would never put their children in front of the camera.
I think the kids would have a stable life with Jon.
Anyone watch Jon & Kate last night?
It seems to be me that Kate is willing to give up her marriage for this new quasi-celebrity life style. She kept saying over and over how everything she is doing is for her kids, but I really don't think so. She's enjoying herself. Jon wants to go back to his old life, said this isn't what he signed up for. It's all very sad.
Good for Kate! Who needs a cheating man.
