Talk about the split with "Extra" Friends in our community.

Why is it that guys can be womenizer and still get away with it? Hello their is a hurt wife, qnd 4 other lovers that Jon had fooled ariund on!!

Jon said he likes blondes!!

He was happy to have his job to get out of the house!!

And ‘they are in it together’ cause it’s their (our) life!!

Couples do grow apart people. So leave them alone about their personal choices.

STAY POSITIVE!!

I think that Kate showed her real self when she looked out the window of her new house and said It’s mine, all mine. She didnm’ty ay that it was her kids house then. That is what this show has been all about. She treated Jon like another child and when he finally grew a pair and started to speak up she didn’t like it. She was losing control.

Am I the only one that noticed that Kate kept saying MY kids, Jon usually said our kids. She kept running hin down through the whole show, his temper, he was angry, would not talk to her. Poor, Poor, Kate, what did she expect when he finally stood up to her. Seems to me it was her way, or no way. I think she truly loves her kids, but she loves that money also.

I dont think you two should stay together solely for the kids. It is obvious that you two should part ways and be happier apart, than miserable together.

However, the fact that you will allow the cameras to be around and film a period of time that will be the saddest in your childrens life is horrendous. Not that the show is anything more than a pimp out for other shows and products. You can drop the “Im a thrifty mom” act as well, you cant yell at Jon for forgetting to use a coupon, and then you turn around and buy 600 dollar designer shoes.

I think Kate has a mental issue, and is in love with the money the show has garnered- expecially coming from a lower class upbringing.

Kate, when the show ends, and you realize you have no true friends and family… what will you do then…. sad.just sad.

And shame on you TLC, for allowing this to go on… every show is like 10 minutes of the family and the rest is of whatever productyou have them pimping out… shame!

I will not watch this show as I will not allow my children to see a couple having this many children and not staying together. I don’t think the network should encourage this kind of viewing in households. It’s supposed to be a family network, isn’t it?
I have a fear that many young mothers will be watching and thinking “if she can do it alone, so can I”.

Oh please - they’re going to bail on their marriage but they’ll keep the show up and running? Yeah…that’s GREAT for the kids! Come on people! Stop inviting the TV mogels into your home who are profiting off you’re ruin and bring in the “live-in” counselors to assist you keep your family together.

I agree - a total cop out!

[quote] They worked so hard to be good parents they forgot to work on being a married couple. I would’ve liked to see them go to marriage counseling and spend some time together with just the two of them. I don’t mean that I would like to see it on tv. Just that they tried it. [/quote]

Are you an idiot? They WHO|RED out their kids to work as their meal tickets. NEITHER of them have worked since the 1st episode debuted. They’re 8 innocent tiny exploited faces. Horrible what these MONSTER “parents” do. But, as Keight says, “the show *must* go on!”. Can’t turn down all those freebies and NOT be a celebrity and all.

I have always enjoyed their tv show and am sad that it has come to this. Something had to give and I’m glad they made a decision — good or bad. I do hope that they take the show off the air. It would be the best for the kids. We don’t live in their shoes and don’t know the true reasons for divorce, while we can speculate it’s Jon’s fault or Kate’s fault, but at the end of the day it does not matter. A family is broken and 8 beautiful kids are now a in a broken home. You can tell they love their kids and I hope they will do the right thing. I’m sad for them.

I for one am happy to see that Kate has made a decison. Jon has been acting like a spoiled brat, and I am tired of everyone saying that it is Kate’s faulty. Jon needs to grow up and stop acting like a child. I hope that Kate can find someone better than Jon in the future.

I just watched the divorce episode and all I could think of is that Jon is a twit. It looks like he is having a mid-life crisis. Kate is not innocent in any of this either. She could have not yelled as much, but he should have participated and been more helpful. I mean look at him with earrings in his ears and smoking like he is cool. He just makes my blood boil. I bet he will go find him another young girl then a few missed visits with the kids then suddenly he will be saying”what kids”. then poof the kids don’t exist to him. I just hope they do not talk bad about each other in front of the kids. I wish Kate lots of love with this situation and I hope Jon can grow up one day and quit saying he is doing this for his family and actually do something for his family. He is only thinking of himself. They should have tried. Now that this is going on, maybe they will get counselling on how to deal with this.

I think it’s sad that Kate continually degraded her husband on tv and talked to him like he was one of the kids, I think it’s sad that he cheated on her (possibly as a result of how Kate treated him…I don’t know), I think it’s sad that those children are now basically pawns in their sick game of he said she said and I think it’s sad they never REALLY trie counseling. It’s time to stop being greedy, get off the air and tend to your children. PERIOD!

It is too bad all of this went to their heads and the news media doesn’t help. I also watch other TLC shows, love Little People Big World …they also earned alot of money, trips and went from a little home to a mansion…but none of the family has changed from who they were. I would think this is the end for Jon and Kate, it is not the same show, not the same people….I hope they invested their money wisely.
