    • it real name of the show should have been Kate plus 9, he acts like a child, andshe treated him like one, the shoe fit. Now he is lying like now he is such a fatherof caring

  • Are you kidding?
    Sure Kate was not an angel but I could see she "thought" that she had to yell to get his attention to do some simple thing.
    He didn't want to be there then..... While she was caring for the kids he was out, well we all know doing what....So what has changed? NOTHING!!!

  • i like Jon..don't get me wrong...but i voted no because he still doesn't know what he wants out of life....Really don't think he loves Kate anymore but he's seeing his gravy train going on without him...so he's afraid...I say no now...but you never know...if there was love there to begin with, they could find it again...stranger things have happened.

  • I don't like Kate. She is a nag, a harpy, a prima donna and SOOOO selfish. I haven't watched the program since the split. Too bad, because I was a loyal fan. Now I'm just disgusted with both of them. I think TLC should cancel the show. Kate was gone an awful lot, but seems everyone just got the message that Jon was not there. WRONG!! I'm an NOT saying that Jon is right, he isn't. They're both so caught up in themselves to see what they have done to their kids. My last show was Kate's blowup over a stupid coupon that Jon didn't use when he purchased something and Kate having a meltdown on camera and informed him, "That's it, you're not buying anything anymore." Add that to the digs that she couldn't stand "his" made up words (again on camera) but she does it and it's supposed to be right. Add that to the way she talked to him in the Toy store episode......Jon should have stood up to her and laid down the law....instead he pulled a little boy's act and ran away.... My opinion.

    • You are not an idiot! I agree she is awful to him, always has been. That doesn't give him an excuse to do what he did, but I don't think that all of this is his fault. If they do get back together they both have a ton of work to do!

  • It shouldn't be a question of whether Kate should take Jon back for the sake of the kids. My question is why would he want to go back to that shrew? She is a mean-spirited, evil mouth, hurtful person and if not for him missing the kids Jon is better off without her.

  • For the sake of the children, Kate should NOT take Jon back. They'll understand one day. This doesn't, under any circumstance, mean that he shouldn't be in their lives; he should, and that in itself is all that is important in the mind of a child.

  • Kate should take Jon back ONLY if he wants to come back for the right reasons, which are that he still loves her and feels it is best that the children have two parents. If he only wants to come back to financially benefit from being on the show, then NO. He seems to be having difficulty making right choices for the right reasons lately. Mid-life crisis maybe???
    anonymous anonymous 9/30/09 Reply
     
  • I beleive that they should both seek therapy. She needs some time away from him and vice versa. As a mother of 4 children , every day is a challenge and as a women we take over a mommy role and forget that we were first just our partners, if she could remember why they hooked up and make him feel like a man again, and vice versa they may have a shot and the kids will flourish. this is an old story. no matter how many kids you have. its tuff.

  • I always vote for marriage over divorce - especially when children are involved. If Jon and Kate can find there way back to each other, I think that would be a wonderful gift to their children. All children want Mommy and Daddy together. They would need alot of forgiveness and then move forward!

  • The should reunite and take a break from the show. If Kate couldn't "play" the camera, and her total girlish ways, they might work things out. It appears as though she lives to insult Jon on camera. In the first episodes she didn't act so bitchy. Jon needs to get some nards and tell Kate not to treat him like crap on the bottom of her shoe. No Jon, she is not always right no matter what she thinks. If they are not careful little Mady is going to be another Kate. Give those kids a break from the camera in their face all the time.

  • Too bad Jon had the midlife crisis/childish tantrum. My guess is that he thought he would have a following as he was the abused husband. Well not so much, apparently. Decided to go public with the women while still married. So much for the weekly trips to curch. He is losing the paycheck because the public turned away. He will be a sad addition to some reality show featuring hasbeens

  • The sad part is that in 8 - 10 yrs he will realize that he gave up some of the most wonderful years of his life with his kids to satisfy his need to be the "cool, naughty boy" that he wanted to be as a teenager. And for what??? Kate wasn't very tactful in trying to keep order in her home. I understand that w/ 8 kids, routine is necessary. Her downfall was she was angered because Jon's thought process didn't fall in line with hers. They both need to go their separate ways but develop a amicable relationship for the sake of the children.

  • You should take him back and go to counseling. Kate, you need to remember why you loved him and chose him to be the father of your children. No one likes to de talked down to the way you did to him. You are always saying you will do anything for the well-being of your kids....take him back and make it work. That would set a beautiful example for them about mistakes, forgiveness and the meaning of marriage vows.

  • Jon's behavior since leaving kate has been despicable. Ok I get that Kate disrespected Him on national television. That does not excuse him dating women half his age. That does not excuse him dating the daughter of the Doctor that did Kate's plastic surgery. My opinion is that he needs to get his priorities straight.

  • NO! He just wants the money. Kate is stronger than that, I would hope. He needs to get checked for diseases before she even thinks about it. The children are better off having them apart. Together they will only ruin those childrens lives. He needs to grow up. Kate needs to stay away from him until she gets her strength back. God bless them.

  • I think Jon is a very good father but he never really wanted to have his family on TV. Kate on the other hand loves being in the camera's face. She is not the perfect mother that she professes to be. If she was, she would set examples by showing the children what a loving wife she is to their father. I've never seen that example even once. Instead she puts Jon down every time she gets the chance. She is teaching her children that parents are not loving to each other. Since Jon refuses to argue or fight in front of the camera and the children some would say he's not a man. I give him alot of respect for that. He's a much bigger man than she is a woman. Kate has no respect for her husband and her children are seeing and learning that everyday. What kind of husbands and wives will their children grow up to be? I think Kate should take a real good look at herself and be thankful that Jon is willing to try again for their marriage and their family.

    • a man? wasnt he the one who was putting play doh up his nose? he may refuse to argue, but it doesnt stop him from making face and rolling his eyes. how about when he told her to take the stick out?? maybe jon could have showed what a loving father he was. dont forget he was the one who got fired for surfing the internet for freebies at work.

  • Staying together "for the kids' sake" is the worst idea ever. You stay together because you love each other and want to work things out. These people should not be on tv in any shape or form. They need therapy to get their heads together.

  • As a single mother of multiples recently divorced form a “clone” of Jon Gosslin the answer is NO! Kate’s hand are full and she doesn’t have time to raise a ninth child. She have done so much better without him and the less time she spends cleaning up Jons messes and more time for kids. He does not deserve her or the kids, he made his choices and he needs to learn to live with those choices. Jon is a very intelligent man, he knew what he was doing every second of every day. For the sake of the children… PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not take him back. Do not teach your five daughters to be door mats, letting their future husbands be lazy, disrespectfully, selfish, irrational, cheating, slobs that still come home when it’s not fun anymore. Do not teach your three sons it is acceptable for a man to walk in and out of adult responsibility when ever they fell the urge to have extra marital activities, leaving you holding the fort, while he tears peoples lives apart every where he goes. He's distroyed every good thing he had going in his life, don't let him distroy these kids futures too.

  • It was inevitable that they would split. The way Kate treated Jon drove him away, and that resulted in his recent behavior. I was a huge fan of the show before, but now with all the tabloids, it seems like the whole family has been tainted. Those kids will definately need therapy!

I do think that they should split though, as for the kids....I wish the best of luck to them, and at least let Jon and Kate put aside their differences so that they can have two healthy homes to go to.

  • Jon is not acting like a responsible adult father of eight children. Instead he is acting like a kid in a candy shop. The insult to viewers is that we paved the way for this by making "Jon and Kate plus eight" a hit show affording Jon Gosselin the lavish lifestyle he now chooses to live away from his family. Yes, On their show, Kate wants excellence and organization for her children but, Jon always answered back when he felt her comments toward him were out of place. So, no sympathy there for you Jon. Why bite the hand that feeds you now that you messed up?

  • I think they are both to blame. Kate for being a constant nag and a confidence killer and Jon for letting her. Listen I'm a wife and a mother and I know I get on my husbands case about things (just ask him - he'll tell you). BUT I wouldn't embarrass him in public let alone on national TV and he respects me enough to do the same. Recent episodes Kate seems like she is trying to work on her "behaviors." I hope Jon is doing this as well and in doing so they can get through this seperation/divorce without harming their children any further.

  • I believe any relationship is worth saving if you both want it and are willing to put 110% into it. Call me unromantic but I do NOT believe there is that perfect person out there for everybody. I believe you meet that person who gets your heart beating and the butterflies moving, but from that day on it's all work. Communication is key and if they want this for them (not the kids) and want to put 110% into it, then it will work. I think the cameras have to go - but that would be a lifestyle change that I do not think either one of them want.

  • I belive that Jon was going through a mid-life crisis and if Kate truly loved Jon she would be willing to go to therapy and work on their relationship for the benefit of themselves and their childrens happiness. Kate certainlay needs therapy as well for the way she treated Jon that probally contributed in some way to his mental breakdown. You cant go through life bein that mean and cold to your husband the one you are suppose to love! They both need to stick to what their vowels said and be there for eachother, in the end that is all taht matters. You cant take the money with you when you go, all you take is the love you have.

I think I would go crazy too. I have always liked Kate and her parenting style. She has the children on a tight rope and they are so well-behaved.

I don't think that they worked their differences, I always thought that Kate was very anal, overpowering and always treating Jon like a child, she had the initiative for everything and he followed with her demands. Everything under the spotlight. I am glad that he stopped the show and I hope that Kate thinks more about her kids. They need a lot of counseling because one of them has a fat head, if not take a look at the Duggard Family they are a true example of how a large family has managed the stress of notoriety and they are simple people.

  • Jon hopefully will lose any custodial rights of the children due to his televised antics. We can only imagine what things he has done that have not been televised. If Jon truly took all of their money out of the bank leaving them with $1,ooo I hope the judge throws the book at him. Jon just figure's if his family need's money, Kate can withdraw money put aside in a Trust for the kid's. These are his words I heard on the Insider.

  • Jon had my sympathy at the very begining because on the show Kate did come across as very overbearing; but Jon's behavior since the split has shown him to be a very immature little boy. Kate taking him back while he is still that little boy, would only be bad for the kids.

  • He is a creep. he said he cares about his kids in one breath, and in the next he says he is going to continue to date Haley. Get him out of their lives, let Kate continue the show on her own to secure the kids future. Obviously from his time on the Insider he never once mentioned how he planned on providing for the kids. If that is how Kate has to do it then let her go, at least it is better than what he is doing.

  • He said something on the Insider show about some offers. He is probably going to try for some kind of show of his own. hopefully the courts will let Kate keep the kids on a show of their own ans she keeps putting money away for them. Jon will only use the money to go out partying. That is obvious. And maybe Kate had reason to treat Jon as some of these comments have said she did on the show. he seem to be an immature jerk. I have never watched the show. I think reality shows are all scripted anyway. It is a waste of time to watch them.

  • Kate would be crazy to take Jon back. He is behaving like an idiot and a total embarrassment to his children -- if not now, they in a few years. How is he going to provide any support for his children without the TV show -- get money from his rich girlsfriends or let Kate support the children and him?

  • Jon is just pretending to want to work things out. Isn't it funny that he accused Kate of being the one who wanted to be in front of the cameras. When he gets kicked off the show, he acts spitefully to get what he wants. The man needs to get counseling and grow up. Stop acting like a little child trying to punish mommy. It just hurts your kids.

  • You shouldn't have to take care of your kids to take care of your kids! The best thing to come out of this divorce is Jon stepping up and demanding that production be stopped! I think it's horrible that Kate and TLC agreed to let Jon be nothing more than a "guest star" or "cameo" on the new Kate Plus 8. Jon doesn't have to give his permission for his kids to be part of that show. BOTH parents need to get jobs, other than the show and appearances. Kate doesn't want to stop the cash flow (the show), when no one should have to be paid to take care of their own children!

  • Kate is just starting to discover that Jon is NOT ALL THAT!!! In my opinion since I was in the same situation 20 years ago. What Jon's problem is is that he finally got caught... Everyone of my friend and relatives all sided with Jon saying that Kate was a controlling mean witch but they've changed their minds after seeing the change in her since she told him she wanted a divorce. Jon realizes that Kate was the best thing that ever happened to him and what I've seen what he's been with and what he's been doing he is a poor excuse of a father and a man. Hats off to TLC for doing a name change to Kate plus eight.!!! If you watch the last several episodes you'll see he acts like its all about him. You can tell he acts like he doesn't have the love and the patience that his children need and deserve from him. I hope Kate doesn't go back with him unless they'd have intensive therapy but Jon is toooo far gone for that now. Hopefully he'll get his payback in this lifetime for all of his actions. I admire Kate for her self control and not stooping to Jon's level. And also for her speaking up and having to defend herself when he runs his mouth!!! He's just making himself look more like the jerk that he was in private to Kate for us to see and to keep it up looking like the total loser that he is.

  • If he was such an awesome and caring father as he says he is he would never have walked out on his responsibilities like he did by proving that his brain moved to his nether regions. If you want to leave, fine, but do it privately and responsibly and at all times remembering "what will my kids think if my kids saw or heard me doing this." His only responsibility should be doing his best for his kids. A parent looses their rights to his type of selfish behavior when they decide to have kids.

I think he was emotionally abusive to Kate and unfortunately the public only saw her reacting to him. A very common dynamic. I think Kate needs to see a therapist who can help her work through her toxic marriage with Jon.

  • I also don't usually respond to this type of poll, but like many others felt compelled to do so here. Jon is clearly acting as if he is younger than his children. I am sorry to see any marriage fail, but if his recent behavior is indicative of how he behaved previously (and it usually is), then Kate is better off moving forward on her own. Jon is definitely not providing a positive parental figure for his children. I also think he is not being truthful in answering the questions on the show. The timing of his shutting down production came only after TLC lessened his role on the show. His body language also gives him away as answering the questions untruthfully.

    I am a divorced mother of two and have never ever said bad things about my childrens father, even though he did of me.
    Both Kate and Jon need to stop everythin, the show, the public bickering. They are only embarassing themselves and hurting their children.
    By the way you folks don't live in the real world. How many people in America have made 2.5 million dollars. Kate... stop claiming poor. How dare you!!! Most of us are struggling. YOu made 1 million on your book and you are claiming poor !!!!
    Grow up.
    Finally, we the public are responsible too for even taking an interest in this family and perpetuating the downfall of these poor eight children.

If anything they need to work their problems out and just move on and be miture about all this and Kate needs to grow up and stop everything it's not healthy for her kids. As much as America loves the show, myself included, she needs to ask and think what the kids would want and i agree with Jon, the T.V. show is not healthy for thier kids and hey she's a nurse she can get a job.

  • Jon is trying to ruin Kate. He has been having a good time since they seperated, now he is losing everything and he is trying to make amends. Kate is a strong person and is and has been taking charge of Jon and the children because he allowed it to happen. When he was working he was a little more equal to her when he came home from work. She stayed home and cared for the children. Then he quit he job and lost his own self worth because they did not need the income. Sometimes when you retire/stop working you still need to working. Kate is controlling because she has to be to keep their lives on the right track. The children are good kids. They are not spoiled and little brats (for lack of another word). Jon is very laid back and it seems that his personality allows for Kate to be the ruler of the family. No one sees that she has worked hard since day one and that is why the children are they way they are. Jon needed to take charge long ago; however, he choose to be a playboy instead. He says that when he has the children that he does not have a nanny take care of them. Well he does not have the children that often. It was easier for him to let Kate take charge. When he has the kids, he may be physically there but he is constantly on the phone and doing other things. He probably has them every other weekend and once a week. He started dating right away. He did not show any feelings for Kate. He does not stay in the area when he does not have the kids. He is off jet setting to New York, California and other countries with other women and vacationing. You do not see Kate doing that. I hope he grows up. He is not worried about his family staying together, he is worried about his life being excluded from the cameras and money. They both need help. I am sure she will make sure that the children are taking care of and not being a pawn in a game of chess. He has not shown any responsibility in the childrens lives. He has been going to baseball games, concerts etc... all last week and still this week. He has been guest on The Insideder since last Friday, yesterday and supposed to be on the show again today (with his attorney). When asked if he has talked to the children, he stated that he talked to Cara the other day. He did not mention the other children. Why is he not in his hometown with his children. He said that Kate has the children right now; however, that she was in New York filming a guest spot on the Today show and that the children were home with the nanny. He tried to make her look like she abandoned the children or that they are always with the nanny. Since she constantly has the kids, there is nothing wrong with getting a sitter once in a while. She is just trying to get her side of the story out to the public. I do not understand why he does not go home and stay with them if he knows that she is away. I am sure that the children would love to see him more often and not just on his visitation time. But, he is off gallavanting. He is trying to look like a better parent by stating that on his visitation days that he does not have a nanny take care of them. Of coarse he does not get a nanny because his time with them is limited, not that often. You would think that he would be taking her to court to get more visitation time with the children. He said on the Insider last night that he is locked out of his own bedroom. Since Kate resides in the house the bedroom is hers. I would not want him in my bedroom either considering that he has been with other women. He was trying to make her look bad. He lost all rights to be in their bedroom when he broke their vows and slept with other women. Does he really expect to sleep in their marital bed. She deserves to have her own privacy and space. BOTTOM LINE, HE WANTS IT ALL ON HIS TERMS. KARMA, ,KARMA, KARMA...

  • No way, She can do it by herself. If she is not hurting the kids then her show should go on. Leave this creep out in the cold. Maybe he and his new girlfriends can get a reality show. Let Kate support her kids with keeping the show as long as they want her. The kids are not affected unless he keeps doing things to affect them.

  • I have never watched the show but I think I could understand why Kate may have come down on Jon on the show. If he is acting like one of the kids why not. Why would he quit his job as I have read here. Why do that if he did not want to live off the earnings from the show. He left and was involved with more than one girl since then. All much younger than he is. If that were Kate you would be calling her all kinds of names, as some of you are now. She has 8 kids not 9, Jon is #9 she does not need that. And it is more than obvious to anyone with half a brain that he only wanted to end the show when his name came off of it. Plus the sign we read on TV that was put outside the house to warn the filming crew to stop, had spelling errors. How is that? Seems to me he either needs to go back to work to earn some money and not take a "paycheck" from the bank account since he has not been around that much lately to even earn one. Kate needs to get an injunction against him allowing her to continue with the show. If she has to get counseling to allow the kids to be on the show then do it. Do whatever is necessary for her and the kids to continue without him. Make sure that visitation is monitored and that he does not bring along his "girlfriend"(s) or whatever. They are only with him for the publicity anyway. I am positive it isn't for his good looks cause there isn't any. I am sure even with 8 kids Kate can find herself a good man. Yay, Kate locked him out of the bedroom He left it so why not. I would not want him sleeping on my sheets either. Now days you never know. Taking care of 8 kids is a lot of work even if you have several nannies. She is entitled to time for herself. So what if she has a nanny or two or three. She is there every night. I have not heard of her out watching a ball game or clubbing. Give credit where credit is due. She is not the jerk .....He is. Kick him out of the bedroom, out of the house , off the bank account, and off the show for good. Oh yes, and why did he need his lawyer on the Insider? He is definitely a jerk. He must think we are all as dumb as he is to believe his BS. I am too old and have seen too much jto fall for any of it. Too bad Jon, you cannot fool this person.

  • The unconscionable exploitation of these children for the sake of "fame" and money is pathetic. Please give no more air time to this ridiculous and self-serving behavior on the part of the "adults" in this situation who call themselves parents. My heart goes out to the children involved.

  • He is only thinking of himself, he tried to play to the media as he is the victim but he is Judge and Jury for Kate, by saying that the show hurt his kids! Yet, he did not seem to mind getting a pay check from TLC all these years and he is still doing it, (who withdraws $23,000 as a paycheck, he is not Elton John (who can affort it). This is not an issue about his kids, it about him. He hates Kate's and wants to make her suffered, and he know that he can do this by using their kids. What inhumane way of getting his kicks at Kate! He got used to leaving off his kids (Kate plus 8). Watch how this bring's him a new reality show and then he is going to say that it's a way of supporting his kids, he just want the money that his kids can get for him. But his kids won't see a dime of the money that he will make in the future.

  • Although Jon's biggest complaint was the lack of privacy and too much attention, he sure is enjoying it now. Maybe he thinks he can get more women this way. Actions speak louder than words and his actions shows his lack of character and his disrepect for his children and Kate. And by the way, Kate as a mother, has the bulk of the responsibility and enduring more stress. Go away Jon.

  • They have both conceded their lifestyles to a noxious, narcissistic standard of living. Yes, Kate is terse and impatient with Jon, painting her to be the type A that she is, and certainly needs to work on her communication skills. Jon meanwhile maintains his indolence in raising his children, as well is his deteriorated relationship with Kate. I can't even begin to fathom the complexities of raising eight children, and it must be even more difficult when your partners strengths don't fill in your weaknesses. However, if they would both shift their focus on the other's short comings and maybe appreciate the 8 lives they brought into the world, they would discover more of who they are and what they want, and another chance of marriage would be a possibility.
