Why is everyone painting Jon as the ONLY bad parent here!! the only difference between Jon and Kate is that she is more cunning than him, she knows how to make herself look good to the media..Now that Jon is trying to get his manhood back (going about it the wrong way) he is now the monster..Kate always wore the pants and called the shots I don’t believe her story about the money either. the only thing she cares about is Fame and Money!!! She is playing you guys like a fiddle,.

What about the way Jon has handled everything? He makes deliberate statements to any press that will listen and says pretty immature, childish statements along with trashing Kate every chance he gets! Up till now, Kate has hosted shows to make guest appearances but does not address anything about Jon unless she is asked and even then, her responses were very vague and until he emptied the bank account, has not blasted Jon outright!What about that, “expert”?

FIRST OF ALL, is an “expert” really required to make this obvious statement? If this “expert” is so necessary, why doesn’t she comment on all Jons irratic behavior over the last several months? I agree with everyone who said that Jon is trying to play victim too little too late! What you got to say about that “expert”?!?

They are both too addicted to being in the limelight and too selfish to do what is the ultimate good for the children. It is a typical “He Said / She Said” situation and they need to stop making their private business so public. And it does not take a TV psychologist to see it.

First of all, I think Jon is trying to play damage control, he knows he is going to have to pay alot of child support, he could lose the kids, so he is trying to repair too much to late and doing it for the wrong reasons. As for taking the kids off TV, then we would have to take kids off commericals, etc… what about the olson girls they have been on TV for years, what about 18 and counting, Tirra’s, Big people Little people, how about kid channel. There is nothing wrong with kids on TV, Jon stop filming b/c he got kicked off (period).

Im not realy 100% on eather side but more so on Kates. I didnt have as meny, but at one time my children ages were four under five years old, but often said I really had five including my now ex.one thing I always told my children, was that the devorce was between their Father and me not them, and that we both Love them ! I put my feelings aside for the sake of my childrens well being and never talked ill of him to them when they were older they had their own opintions, you have only one biological Mother and Father that will never change.get your children theropist to help them cope with the changes in their life, Jon grow up ( funny that was my ex name too)you brought eight lives into this word, be a man, stop running round like a fool. you are still married till the devorse is finalised,I cant see what thoes weman see in you, you say Kate was bossy she has eight children who need her to be a Mother to them and did not have time to be a Mother to a nineth, no wounder she got fustrated with you I know Iv been their you can tend to snap back at the parent that acks like another child when you need them to help threw theropy both not just one setion Jon you can work thing out for the sake of the kids.It can be done my children grew up well adjusted and prosperious, remember they will be adults one day and will judge for themself Kat from Clearwater Florida

I think that jon and Kate need to stop putting all their battles on national t.v. for the world and their children to see. Life is to hard for children these days and crap like what is going on is just to hard for the small children to understand. I do believe Jon has shown poor judgement in his playing around with other women. He is still married to Kate. As for him taking all the money out of the bank and leaving Kate broke, if it is true, then he should be ashamed of hisself. The money doesn’t belong to him alone. I also think that he is angry because he was dropped from the show and the new show is Kate plus eight. I feel he is really immature, more so than Kate. Guys, for the childrens sake, take it behind closed doors. Jon, stop shoving other women in your wife’s face and your children.

I think that both of them need to grow up. I think they need to stop their show. I believe it can really hurt the kids in the long run. Both Jon, and Kate need to step up to the plate; and take care of their own kids without the help of a TV show. I really believe that both of them like the lime life better then worring about how this can really affect their children. I wish the children LUCK!

I don’t think neither Kate & Jon are thinking of their children’s savings for the future. Kate has nannies and maids doing a lot of her work while she hops from one talk show to another. Jon thinks he’s a player- running around with 20 yr olds and overspending money on them. these girls would not give him a 2nd look if they thought they wouldn’t get a bit of the limelight or gifts.

the court papers clarify the issue. Reality is that the only account that has liquid funds is the daily expenses account. All other income was placed into funds for the kids. Jon drained the account (court papers include a detailed breakdown from the bank representative) from which mortgage, taxes tuition, food, etc. is being paid from. He’s supposed to deposit 7,500.00 in the accout each month, not take out on average 20,000+ per week. This was what was agreed upon in their legally binding mediation. He really is in contempt according to the law and legal documents he agreed to sign. It seems that he really hasn’t a clue as to what funds are liquid versus what funds are “tied up”. You can tell he hasn’t bothered to analyze the financial health of his family, that Kate is the only one monitoring that.

Jon 90% of the time blames Kate for everything, no matter what it is, it’s Kate, the first step in any therapy is to take responsibility for your own actions. Jon doesn’t. His choice of female companions to some day meet his kids, alone, shows how immature Jon is. He is vengeful, hateful, self absorbed, and has changed his story many times. He is a loose cannon, and sometimes scary.

A bank representative details nine withdraws made by Jon Gosselin that total $230,000 since August. The papers have been release that Jon did indeed wipe the account clean! The Gosselins will NOT be paid while on hiatus because of Jon Gosselin’s demands. Guess what people. When they go to court tomorrow Jon has allot to answer for. Jon showed on the TV tonight only ONE of the withdrawals. He failed to mention all the other ones. So now what do you think of Jon. This is a guy that claims he is now more famous than Paris Hilton. No he brags about it. This is exactly why Jon wants the media attention because in court he won’t get any. I’m sick of him saying he has had all this therapy. It didn’t help. He is more of a child than before. I’m sick to death of him blaming Kate for his weakness. We are all responsible for ourselves and Jon needs to own it that he is weak and pathetic and very narcisstic.
Story was reported by the Philadelphia paper and proof will be in court tomorrow.
