Morals? What morals do these peole have? If pimping out your kids in exchange for free clothes, vacations (if you can call it a vacation with cameras shoved in your face the entire time) etc. is a moral, then by all means these two have won hands down! Those poor babies!!!

I love this realality show. All that I want to say is remwmber ehere it all started. Kate. Remember that there is still the man you married, the man you took vows to. Before all the trips, new homes,etc…It was just the two of you with 8 children who the both of you chose to have. I respect you for wanting to to the best for your kids, but dont forget where you came from. Jon is your Husband and should be treated with alot more respect than you give him. I have been married for 28 years. I love my Husband more today than I did the day we got married. I would like to sat that is has all been peaches and cream ,but I would be lying. I can only say that I would marry him again. Please remember that when those children are grown and gone, and someday they will be, who will be left? You have no clue right now. I still look into the eyes of the man I married, and now into the eyes of my Grandchildren and know all the pain and heartache was so worth it. So stop being so HARD . If you give 100% and Jon gives 100%. If you can look at yourself in the mirror everyday and say I have done all I can ,and this marriage is over then so be it. Dont make it about the money, and all the doors that will open for the kids, because they wont care about any of that. What they will see , is two peaple who love each other unconditionaly and for ever. All the money in the world, All the trips you take, All the houses you purchase will mean nothing in comparison.

Kate’s hair is ugly…I am tired of reading that people want that ugly haircut. I like the show - mainly bc of the kids, but also bc on & Kate seemed toact like a real couple. They didn’t seem to hide who they really are for tv purposes. The show got a little lame once it was only about them taking their kids to all of the freebie events they got (Disneyworld, skiing, Legoland, etc etc etc!). The show was supposed to be about the trials and tribuilations of raising a large family.

What is most irritating about recent events is Kate opening her piehole so freely - and of course for money (re: new People magazine article). They may live a somewhat public life, but the only reason I hope Jon divorces her is for exploiting their marriage for money. I understand having the reality show as it allowed them to have the means to raise there kids, but it all seems too greedy now. Greed greed lovely greed - The Greedelins…that should be the new show name!

Hi,
I agree that Kate is very horrible to Jon I would never treat my husband like that.He does need to put his foot down to her.I havea 27yr old niece who acts exactly like Maddy and has been this way all of her life.She is bipolar and I am not sure what medication she is on but for the most part it helps her.She is still a very sweet girl and is not like a zombie on the meds.Maybe they should think about this??

I agree Kate seems to look for opportunities to demean Jon - even if
she does it in jest. I believe Jon is
the one who is patient and caring yet stern when he needs to be. He wants to let the youngsters be just that young and carefree even if he meaqns getting dirty!

I used to like the show until Kate turned into such a demanding control freak. She talks to Jon like he’s an idiot.

Can he not speak for himself or have a thought of his own? Some shrinks would say she is abusive in severl ways. Just because they have 8 kids they are given free trips, homes,clothes, and cars, etc.? Are you kidding? What about a real job to support your own kids?

What is that teaching thier own children? Have kids for t.v. so everyone else supports you. Only in America….

I will agree that Maddy has serious issues. If she was my kid, she would be in for a rude awakening.

Well I have a few things to say about this
As long as he is responsible enough to have some one drive him to where he needed to go and we were all not there, so if he did any cheating the only one that would know is Him and the woman and God. I am sure none of that happened. People need to remember
People who live in glass houses should not through stones. They need to look at there own life before commenting on others. I pray for Jon and Kate I love there Show they are good examples of what a Blessed house hold looks like and one that Loves life and others and what God fearing people they are. Be blessed! Once again and remember after the rain you can look to the sky again and NO WEPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER!!!!! Also if God is for me who can be against me

I love jon and kate and hope they will be back next season. as for the kids the little ones are adorable but you are right maddy needs help she has to be the center of attention and she spoils things for the little ones. I think shes just a little jealous of them. Kate does need to let up on Jon a little and quite treating him like one of the kids. It is quit easy to do when your a mom we all know that men are really little boys in big bodies and need to be mommied sometimes but not on national Tv. You have to give jon credit he a great dad and really loves spending time with his kids. But on the other hand when you in the spotlight you have to be really careful the the paps are always looking for a story and they don’t care if they report the truth or not they just want to sell pics and stories they don’t care who they hurt or that they invade peoples privacy. There needs to be laws governing these idiots. Jon and Kate keepup the good work and pray and seek gods guidance in raising your kids and everything will be okay.. Love ya in Ga. Pam

Everyone is entitled to there opinion. But it is not ok to Judge people. If you dont like there show don’t watch it. It’s your choice!!! I personly like watching Jon and Kate and their eight children. I think that they are wonderful parents who are doing an awesome job raising there kids. Its not easy raising one child these days let alone eight. As far as encouraging young people to have more kids I don’t believe that is what they are trying to do. People are going to do what they want no matter what. We are responsible for our own actions. Hang in there Jon and Kate as for the rumors of divorce I hope they are not true. You are an inspiration.

Everyone that talks about Kate being such a bitch—really do you know what it’s like to have 6 four year olds around ALL day long….I have one two year old and it’s exhausting—I can’t even imagine…..I truly believe she is the same as a lot of woman out there and TV production makes it out to be MUCH worse. Think about how much they film and then we see 30 minutes—it’s part of the drama people that keeps us coming back for more—what will Kate do next to John??? He is just the same back sometimes because that’s life you get stressed and pushed to your limits and you snap and who gets snapped at the ones closest to you. If there is anyone that should be to blame it’s the producers that are making her out to be worse than she is (I am sure) but then again I’m sure it helps with the ratings so why change. If you don’t like the show don’t watch the show. If you do then watch it. Why so many people have to have opinions about not liking something kills me. If I don’t like something I am not even going to waste a second of my time talking about it. Seems kind of silly and wasteful to me especially when it has nothing to do with your own life. I am praying for the two of them and their family and wish them all the best.

As for comments about other familys with this many kids and it’s not fair…LIFE ISN’T FAIR!!! and I’m sure had any other family in John and Kate’s situation been asked to do a show and get things like John and Kate have gotten they would have too, but that wasn’t Gods plan for anyone elses….
So much jealousy and hate fills this world it’s sad.

I love the show. All families are going to have problems. To say that the show encourages young people to have to many children is ignorant. Learn your facts before you speak. This couple had fertility problems and decided not to desroy the babies that they ended up with. Yes, they do a public show which puts them in the media so they should expect the media to try to find the bad in their relationship(most people only want to hear the bad.) They are great parents and teach their children manners and great nutrition. Let them be!!

I Love Jon and Kate + 8 and know of many other people that do. I feel Mady just over does everything. She is a typical little girl that is use to getting everything she wants. NO this show does NOT push younger people to have more kids! it wasn’t there choice to have 8 kids, it was a blessing from God. They weren’t able to get pregnant on their own so they went for help. you KNOW the possibilites when you do that! and God bless the people they have around them to help out!

I can not stand Kate, I don’t watch the show anymore. I think she is cruel to John and over demanding demeaning barking wife. She likes the fame and money at the risk of her family. Id like to see the show end. I think her kids need her attention. Maddy is always so unhappy.I think they only show us what we want to see and when the cameras are off they are completely different people. Its a fake show.. take it off the air. I’ll boycott watching it again next season.

I think this whole thing with Jon is because of the show i do love the show but Jon has said he doesnt want to do it so Kate stop thinking about the money and free trips and start thinking about your family your the one pushing Jon away and the kids are going to be the ones hurting from all this and i also think Kate and Mady both need to get some help Mady CRYS all the time and is rude and Kate thinks everything thing should be about her GROW UP
