Team Kate

Ok I know there are more important things going on in the world and in life than the antics of a Reality TV Star, but I have some stuff I have to get off my chest.

I CAN'T STAND JON GOSSELIN! He makes me want to puke! He sits there on the couch all attitude like he is so put upon to have kids and a wife to deal with.
Poor poor Jon is "only" 32 and has too much responsibility BOO-HOO.
Poor Jon has a control freak for a wife WAAA.
Poor Jon quit his job to stay in his large and comfortable home with his kids, take vacations, and have experiences most of us dream of OH MY.
Poor Jon quit work and is fortunate enough to have more than enough income to provide for his family WHAT A SHAME.

GET OVER YOURSELF!

It is not like you only knew Kate for five minutes before you decided to get married. I suspect that she has been a hyper-organized control freak most of her life. And I do not use control freak as a derogatory term, I too am a control freak. You still chose to marry her. It is not like oops one day she happened to get pregnant. You went to a fertility doctor paid money and went through a whole process - both times. I will give you that NO ONE expects to have 6 babies at the same time, however you did not believe in selective reduction, so again it was your decision. So what if you have been the primary caregiver for extended periods of time over the last year so that your wife could go out and promote her books, which by the way help to keep you in the lifestyle you have quickly became accustomed to. Who do you think was the primary caregiver for the last 4 years? And as for her hyper-organization and controlling nature, how do you think you have survived having 8 kids thus far. You can not play the pity card. NO ONE feels sorry for you, well maybe your young girlfriend does, but normal everyday people, not so much.

You are an ungrateful, unappreciative, quitting loser. Do you know how many people out there would love to be blessed with the ability to provide for your family while being able to be home with them. A LOT!

You are a parent, being photographed with a woman before you are even divorced is not good for your kids. Acting the way you act, is not good for your kids. Saying on TV how rough your life is because you are tied to your family, is not good for your kids. Treating their mother poorly and not showing her any respect, is not good for your kids. One day very soon you will have to answer to them about your behavior. Before you go out and do anything ask yourself if your sons were to behave the way you do would you be proud of them, and how is what you are doing going to effect your kids.

You need to pull your head out of your butt, suck it up and make the sacrifices ALL parents make to give our kids the best life possible. Parents in general are not FREE, we all sacrifice. You are not special, you are not being tortured.

I have heard you speak many times about your faith. I sincerely hope that you spend some time reflecting on your faith and speaking to God and asking for guidance. I hope you listen, and find a path that is loving and respectful.

I feel bad that I resorted to name calling, and that what I have said may come across as judgmental. But it comes from a place of knowing what the Gosselin children are going through. I am a child of divorce. However my parents NEVER spoke ill of each other to or in front of me. They never spoke ill of each other in any way that I would have ever found out. They were and are still able to come together for me and for my son. They are respectful of each other and me. I could not be more grateful for this. I don't know if this is was hard for them, I don't care to know. What I do know is that my parents loved me enough to not put me their child in the middle. There is no reason for 2 responsible adults not to behave respectfully, cordially, and gently with each other for the sake of their children. Your divorce is none of their business.

When you are a parent your children come first. Try to remember that.
