I love your program and I hope this does not stop you from sharing your family. I’ve gotten attached. And I would truly miss you. But it’s not about me.

i just want to say that everyone should mind their own business. how would you like all your stuff out there. yes they do have a television show and their life is for everyone to see but that does not mean judge them. i think that they are lovely parents and that this will all work out and they will continue to put their 8 children first. the media takes things to far and they need to back off. maybe if their marriage hits a rocky road we will post everything on the news for all to see.

I was very saddend to read about the major mishap of cheating in Jon and Kate’s marriage.
I loved the show, however I think Kate you should take a long hard look at what it is doing to you and your husband’s marriage and reconsider signing up for another season. Your husband Jon clearly stated on your last show that it wasn’t his cup of tea having so many people in your home and life.
I hope you both get your priorities in order, yourchildren do not deserve a broken home. You both made a commitment try to keep it.

I hope Jon & Kate can work things out and save their marriage. They need to go out on regular dates (not with cameras or kids) . I personally think Jon is to easy going and Kate is to bossy and a control freak, everything has to be her way. She talks to Jon like he doesn’t have a brain. I respect her for being a good mother to 8 active children. But, please, Kate, lighten up.

Jon and Kate, I am very sorry to hear the sorrows in your lives at present. Rumors and suspicions can destroy a family, but please don’t let them. If today you are feeling exhausted, afraid, overwhelmed, and concerned, remember there is One who has promised to help you. He is waiting to help you. All you have to do is ask. You are not expected to carry the load of life’s responsibilities all alone. Just love each other, forgive each other, and try not to judge and put blame on each other. Yes, your children are small, but they can sense inner stress and hurt. You have 8 beautiful blessings, and God entrusted you with them, please do what you can to mend your marriage. Never feel ashamed that you have to ask for help. Remember your promises to each other, and pray for trust again and sudden peace will enter your hearts. We have an awesome God! Nothing is impossible for Him. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I just watched the beginning of season 5 show tonight and was crying at the end.I feel terrible for this family.I used to love watching the struggles of their hectic family life and how they always went back to loving each other no matter how stressed they were. I’m wondering if all this fame and money changed all that for them. They always talked about God and their church. Where is God in all this now for them? Are they even looking to Him for help? Jon was saying that he and Kate will ways be there for the kids no matter what. The best thing for those kids is two loving parents in the home raising them together. I would not give up on that. My husband and I found help in our faith and in counseling when things got difficult in our marriage. We found we really do love each other and our three children. I think that Kate and Jon can find this too if they try. Don’t give up easily on your marriage, it is worth fighting for.

Kate and Jon I wish I could talk to you in person. I hate to see the pain in both of your faces, and unfortunately I understand that pain. I have always loved watching your show. I don’t have multiples, but I do have four kids and I know how stressful it can be on a marriage. My husband and I have gone through something similar in this in our marriage, granted we were not on TV and were or are not as popular as your family is. But I do know that we couldn’t have made it through our problems if it wasn’t for God. No matter where we are he is always there waiting for us to turn back to him and ask him to show us what to do. It doesn’t take two to have a marriage it takes three. A wise man once told me that if you keep dwelling on things you will cause that person to do them. I didn’t want to believe it but I was causing my husband to turn from me. Sometimes we beat ourselves up more than we could ever deserve. We can become our own worst enemy. It takes a lot of hard work even when you don’t feel like doing it. But if you will put God first then he will help you both through this. In most marriage vows, it says that let no man put under what God has put together. I think you both are awesome parents.

Those children are his just as well as yours and his opions and advise are just as good as your’s if not better.You(Kate) are driving your man away from you not the kids because he loves them. Your attitude stinksand everyone can smell it right thru the t.v. Kate you have a controll issue and if you don’t take care of it soon you might be by yourself because no other man is gonna take your B.S. Jon , whatever you do make sure your children is involved. Let them know every day how much you love them. Kate acts like the children is only hers,but they are you’rs also. Jon ,please stand up for yourself. Jon i am counting on you to do the right thing.

I’ve watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 from the beginning. I applaud the decision to see the 2nd pregnancy thru, it could not have been easy. I feel the T.V. show was a decision based on financial needs because of the decision to carry all the babies to term. Life with 8 children is stressful at best and unimaginably stressful when those 8 are so close in age. While we may not agree with Jon and Kate, they both need our prayers and support while they live with life’s stresses including all the gossip generated by the press.

When I very first heard about this show I couldn’t imagine cameras in my house for one minute or filming my childrens lives. Later Jon and Kate will realize that they made a mistake it seems these days everyone wants their own reality show, anyone who wants a reality show wants attention, so therefore they got the attention and its ruined their lives, their children and some people are more focused on their lives than their own marriage and relationships with their kids. I am going to ask this one question to any normal family, Would you want your children filmed everyday in the spot lite to make your OWN life batter? My response is that they only thought about themselves and now its all over!!

I think that if there really is cheating going on I think that kate is a big part of it to if I was Jon and had to put up with being put down all the time in front of the cameras I would look to someone to talk to outside of the marriage. He needs to get his feelings togeather and become the MAN he was before he Quit his job to be with the kids so that Kate can do whatever she wants to do for herself. Kate is very selfish in my bookk to except everything to go the way she wants it without comprising on anything. I have been watching the show for a very long time and If I treated my husband the way she does I would except him to go else where for comfort because I would not be giving it to him at all. All the time that she is at home she doesn’t even give him the time of day without putting him down. I will pray that it all works out for them and the kids. I feel that they should get some Bibleical counseling and really be serious about it and wrk on them self not the other person. That is one thing that I noticed with Kate she points out all of Jon’s faults and laughs about her own.

I think the money went to their head . If you were doing the show for the reasons you said you would donate the money to charities or churches. You both need to get yourself right with God . I never saw a show that they went to church. Jon always took crap off of Kate and she is getting what is due. After having the twins, you would think they would be enough but no Kate wanted more. Kate always gets what Kate wants and I think she is in love with herself. All of these shows with families of alot of children need to be off. If they keep having children then they need to get a job and work like everyone else does. Kate treated him really bad. I love my husband to much to treat him like that.The love of money will never get you anywhere. I don’t think they need a 6500 sq ft house with 23 acres of land. I don’t feel sorry for Jon and esp. Kate. The children yes but their parents need to grow up. They keep saying they are doing everything for the children, right, If they were just stop the show and live like everyone else , get a job and live on a budget and not have everything given to you.

Let’s face it, you like traveling and BEING AWAY from your kids, and now with this impending divorce/separation you have an even better excuse not to be there with them at least part of the time. The little “trips” you take with 1 or 2 of the kids seems to be all you can handle. WAKE UP KATE! You have 8 kids, good kids (thanks to Jon and his loving hugs etc.), -and most REAL MOMS could handle taking all of them at once to the beach, or the park WITHOUT HELP! Believe it or not, there are women in this world with as many children as you. Actually, some have eight kids in 8 years, which can be just as challenging if not more challenging! And just for the record, I am a first grade teacher, with kids of my own, and proud of the fact that everywhere we go, people will stop and state how well-behaved my children are. It really isn’t a big secret on how to raise lots of kids Kate, but I’ll let you in on a very important part of raising kids that I noticed is missing in your daily routine.I never hear/see you say “I love you” to anyone in your family. It’s so important for kids (and adults too!) to hear these words!Try saying “I love you” to each and everyone of your kids throughout the day. Squeeze them and give them a big kiss and hug at least once a day as well. The feeling you’ll get back is worth more than all the money you make for your shows. Money can’t buy happiness.

When I would see your displays of affection on the show,I did not miss them. A tussle of one childs hair etc.You are so calm, and you seem to be such a good father.

I believe that both Kate & Jon have to accept the blame equally at this point. Kate is a controlling person and it is obvious from all the shows. However Kate deserves credit that she isn’t acting like a teenager like Jon is now. Their children are not stupid and are witnessing Jon’s “I don’t want to grow up attitude” at this point. Can’t he go without sex while visiting his children (regardless if they are sleeping or not). He should keep his antics as “undercover” as possible so the children are “protected” from all Jon’s personal issues. At this point Kate is at least acting like the better parent. Although we don’t see any actual physical love towards the children from Kate on any of the shows. So she says she is “all about the kids” but we don’t see this on the show. We know she is going through alot right now but so are the children and now is when they especially need the physical hugs and kisses and “I love you”.

i agree with a lot of people when they say kate was a control freak and talked down to jon but since when did that justify a man cheating on his wife? why didnt he grow a pair and stand up to her? maybe kate has been bitten with the showbiz bug but i also think she has an opportunity to financially secure her kids future and shes going to avail of it. honestly folks how many pictures have you seen of kate draped around young men while partying like mad? NONE!!! have we seen any of jon? thats all we see!!!

As a woman, even I find it appalling at the way the media has played up Kate. Jon should have left her long before any of the kids were born.Kate is the only one willing to exploit her children and so the powers that be side with her, of course. Right from the start of that show she did everything she could to belittle that man on public tv. She was abusive, I totally agree with Jon. I’m just glad he finally got enough of a backbone to say enough and divorce her before his children grow up thinking that all women act like she does. I do feel sorry for the kids, they are never going to know respect for another human being, like Jon they will never be right, like Jon they will never be allowed to express themselves without their mother’s disapproval. Kate is not capable of teaching those babies the true meaning of love, nor will she be able to teach them how to feel good about themselves . She can’t teach them what she does not know. It felt good at the time didnt it Kate with all of your snide comments and oneupmanship.I bet you felt so much better than Jon, after all you were just the perfect wife and mother. Tell me Kate does it feel good now. A good wife and mother encourages her family by making each and every one of them feel like thety are an important member of a team, not a bench sitter that is only good for donations.

Jon, hurry up get the divorce. Just remember that your status as a man does not depend on the actions of any woman,past or future, you have those kids to be a father to. Keep your private life private they don’t need to see it. Kate is the type of person that will shove it down their throats just to hurt you. Shake of the residue of Kate get control of yourself and love those kids with everything you have. You are the only stable person in their lives

I haven’t watched this show in a long time. I got so fed up with Kate bossing everyone around. I saw there first shows and started watching it regularly but soon I was saying ” That guy is going to leave her some day. It was very plane to see even back 8 years ago. She has only herself to blame for the brake up of her marriage. She bossed him around and verbally abused him to the point of being embarrassing to watch. He did exactly what a man does that is treated like that at home. He went a found someone who didn’t treat him that way.That whole story is as old as time itself. Now watching tonight I can see she hasn’t learned a thing. It’s all me,me,me with her. I’m the best parent there is and I only think of MY kids. What a bunch of crap. She’s going to miss the big money she was making but tries to make it sound like it’s all for the kids. Kate, give me a brake! Also I believe in making kids behave but I have seen how she bosses these kids around too just like she did with Jon. These kids are going to grow up hating her in the long run. Kate, get your act together! I’m so sick of her I’m glad that this show is over.

Jon and Kate, I am very sorry to hear the sorrows in your lives at present. Rumors and suspicions can destroy a family, but please don’t let them. If today you are feeling exhausted, afraid, overwhelmed, and concerned, remember there is One who has promised to help you. He is waiting to help you. All you have to do is ask. You are not expected to carry the load of life’s responsibilities all alone. Just love each other, forgive each other, and try not to judge and put blame on each other. Yes, your children are small, but they can sense inner stress and hurt. You have 8 beautiful blessings, and God entrusted you with them, please do what you can to mend your marriage. Never feel ashamed that you have to ask for help. Remember your promises to each other, and pray for trust again and sudden peace will enter your hearts.
We have an awesome God! Nothing is impossible for Him. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I just watched the beginning of season 5 show tonight and was crying at the end.I feel terrible for this family.I used to love watching the struggles of their hectic family life and how they always went back to loving each other no matter how stressed they were. I’m wondering if all this fame and money changed all that for them. They always talked about God and their church. Where is God in all this now for them? Are they even looking to Him for help? Jon was saying that he and Kate will ways be there for the kids no matter what. The best thing for those kids is two loving parents in the home raising them together. I would not give up on that. My husband and I found help in our faith and in counseling when things got difficult in our marriage. We found we really do love each other and our three children. I think that Kate and Jon can find this too if they try. Don’t give up easily on your marriage, it is worth fighting for.

Kate and Jon I wish I could talk to you in person. I hate to see the pain in both of your faces, and unfortunately I understand that pain. I have always loved watching your show. I don’t have multiples, but I do have four kids and I know how stressful it can be on a marriage. My husband and I have gone through something similar in this in our marriage, granted we were not on TV and were or are not as popular as your family is. But I do know that we couldn’t have made it through our problems if it wasn’t for God. No matter where we are he is always there waiting for us to turn back to him and ask him to show us what to do. It doesn’t take two to have a marriage it takes three. A wise man once told me that if you keep dwelling on things you will cause that person to do them. I didn’t want to believe it but I was causing my husband to turn from me. Sometimes we beat ourselves up more than we could ever deserve. We can become our own worst enemy. It takes a lot of hard work even when you don’t feel like doing it. But if you will put God first then he will help you both through this. In most marriage vows, it says that let no man put under what God has put together. I think you both are awesome parents.

I’ve watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 from the beginning. I applaud the decision to see the 2nd pregnancy thru, it could not have been easy. I feel the T.V. show was a decision based on financial needs because of the decision to carry all the babies to term. Life with 8 children is stressful at best and unimaginably stressful when those 8 are so close in age. While we may not agree with Jon and Kate, they both need our prayers and support while they live with life’s stresses including all the gossip generated by the press.

I am going to ask this one question to any normal family, Would you want your children filmed everyday in the spot lite to make your OWN life batter? My response is that they only thought about themselves and now its all over!!

I think that if there really is cheating going on I think that kate is a big part of it to if I was Jon and had to put up with being put down all the time in front of the cameras I would look to someone to talk to outside of the marriage. He needs to get his feelings togeather and become the MAN he was before he Quit his job to be with the kids so that Kate can do whatever she wants to do for herself. Kate is very selfish in my bookk to except everything to go the way she wants it without comprising on anything. I have been watching the show for a very long time and If I treated my husband the way she does I would except him to go else where for comfort because I would not be giving it to him at all. All the time that she is at home she doesn’t even give him the time of day without putting him down. I will pray that it all works out for them and the kids. I feel that they should get some Bibleical counseling and really be serious about it and wrk on them self not the other person. That is one thing that I noticed with Kate she points out all of Jon’s faults and laughs about her own.

Kate you have only yourself to blame. Every week I sit and watch the show and see how you treat Jon hitting him and how demanding you are. If my husband was erner married to you he would kicked you to the door a long time ago. You go Jon find someone who will treat you better than that witch. She thinks see is beautiful, not even close not onthe inside or the outside. Dump her to the curd. You go Jon your the better parent not her and her puss. She can really make some ugly faces. Good Luck Jon. Kate I wish someday you meet your match.

If Kate would pull her head out of her butt and not worry about MONEY and worry more about her marriage and children and consider marriage counseling, they might be able to salvage whats left. Get back to their REAL jobs like every other normal person in this world and get on with it!! AMEN

I love their show, their kids, and even them! I just can’t believe that their (jon and kate) marriage went down-hill so quickly! My whole family watches the show every Monday, and were heartbroken when we saw the June 22nd episode. One of the reasons (in my opinon) that they decided to divorce is because the headlines and press have picked there family apart! Wow….I never would have thought that they would ever get a divorce!!! I love their entire family and hope for the best! Hope they have made the best choice for their kids. God Bless Gosselins! We love you so much!

I think the money went to their head . If you were doing the show for the reasons you said you would donate the money to charities or churches. You both need to get yourself right with God . I never saw a show that they went to church. Jon always took crap off of Kate and she is getting what is due. After having the twins, you would think they would be enough but no Kate wanted more. Kate always gets what Kate wants and I think she is in love with herself. All of these shows with families of alot of children need to be off. If they keep having children then they need to get a job and work like everyone else does. Kate treated him really bad. I love my husband to much to treat him like that.The love of money will never get you anywhere. I don’t think they need a 6500 sq ft house with 23 acres of land. I don’t feel sorry for Jon and esp. Kate. The children yes but their parents need to grow up. They keep saying they are doing everything for the children, right, If they were just stop the show and live like everyone else , get a job and live on a budget and not have everything given to you.

Kate, you may be their birth mother, but you are not a mom. You are NEVER physically affectionate and loving with your kids (and you definitely weren’t with your husband). …. and if that is how you are with the cameras running, I cannot imagine what you must be like when the cameras are not there! Let’s face it, you like traveling and BEING AWAY from your kids, and now with this impending divorce/separation you have an even better excuse not to be there with them at least part of the time. The little “trips” you take with 1 or 2 of the kids seems to be all you can handle. WAKE UP KATE! You have 8 kids, good kids (thanks to Jon and his loving hugs etc.), -and most REAL MOMS could handle taking all of them at once to the beach, or the park WITHOUT HELP! Believe it or not, there are women in this world with as many children as you. Actually, some have eight kids in 8 years, which can be just as challenging if not more challenging! And just for the record, I am a first grade teacher, with kids of my own, and proud of the fact that everywhere we go, people will stop and state how well-behaved my children are. It really isn’t a big secret on how to raise lots of kids Kate, but I’ll let you in on a very important part of raising kids that I noticed is missing in your daily routine.I never hear/see you say “I love you” to anyone in your family. It’s so important for kids (and adults too!) to hear these words!Try saying “I love you” to each and everyone of your kids throughout the day. Squeeze them and give them a big kiss and hug at least once a day as well.
The feeling you’ll get back is worth more than all the money you make for your shows. Money can’t buy happiness.

Hi,Like everyone else I am very saddened by the news of Jon & Kate but for many reasons.Jon & Kate as well as the children will have a big adjustment to make and I hope that they can remember throughout the whole process that they did once have a great relationship,friendship & love for each other and from that they were blessed with 8 beautiful children.So for while they got to share a moment intheir lives that will be cherished when they look at their kids….I also think that yes Kate over the course of the show may have been very critical of Jon, he is also an adult with a large family and he and only he is responsible for any cheating and\or bad choices he made.It is terrible for people to put full blame on Kate..how sad it must be for the world to know your husband stepped out with someone else..how sad for the people who think that…what small minded people you must be!I wish well for the family and hope that they can stay some kind of family if they can’t do it together.

Hi Jon and Kate,
I pray both of you read this.
I Love each and every one of your children.What I am about to say is going to shock you both.Yes,Iam upset at Jon for what he did;but,in all honesty,I can see why.I am sorry Kate.The way you yelled at Jon,and talked down to him,I am sur-
prised this didn’t happen sooner.
I used to work in an ER and I was talked to and treated like Jon was by the clinical
staff.Kate,you have been in Nurse Mode
and have been talking to Jon as though he
were one of your staff.I hope you don’t
read this first and erase it so Jon does not have a chance to see it.Even Mady saw it.
In one of the episodes,she called you “Queen Bee”.She made some other comments too that were not flattering.
I hope and pray the two of you get back together, if that’s what you both want.I will
miss your show and have many fond mem-
ories.
Jon,when you determined Cara could ski
and you were out there together just you
and she sharing this wonderful time.I was
so happy for you both.I was giddy.Now you will always have that.
It made me somewhat sad, because My Daddy Passed Away when I was 11.And he was young 39.
When I would see your displays of affection on the show,I did not miss them.
A tussle of one childs hair etc.You are so calm, and you seem to be such a good father.
And Kate does seem to be a good mother
too.It’s just that she has to hold everything
together around the the house I guess,
and somehow started ordering you around
too.
I’d like to know what Jon and Kate think of
my e-mail if possible.
Peace and Happiness to you Both Jon and
Kate,Deborah

Jon and Kate…………..I am so disgusted with you both. I’ve been a viewer since day one but will no longer watch the farce you show now. You promised in your wedding vows not once but TWICE to love each other till death. Was that all for show for us,,the frenzied todo in Hawaii? Your children are at stake here. They certainly inderstand what is goinhg on…..Maddie has been exhibiting signs for such a long time which u chalked up to her being a difficult. Kate, at the beginning, I wanted so much to meet you and your family. You have turned from a gray mouse to a bikini clad hottie. You said that your children were only alowed minimal TV…………..your show and the little people. I’m sure you’re not letting them watch these shows now , but be assured they know all about what’s going on from school, magazines, and talk. I’m so sad that you went from an admirable Christian family (we never miss church) to publicity seeking, money hungry people. You say you will be there for the kids……..doesnt work that way……you needed to love each otherfor better or worse as you pledged to God and before your children. Be prepared for a very rocky road for those beautiful kids.they don’t deserve this!!!!! A disgusted viewer(68 yrs old) and a bit wiser……………

Does it really matter who is at fault the most? Do you blame Kate because she was so bossy and controlling or do you blame Jon because he was too laid back . God put them together, blessed them with eight children, and God is watching every move they are making now. Who is in control? They are not and some day they will realize that, God will let them know.
On August 27th 2009, Melody wrote:
I believe that both Kate & Jon have to accept the blame equally at this point.
Kate is a controlling person and it is obvious from all the shows. However Kate deserves credit that she isn’t acting like a teenager like Jon is now. Their children are not stupid and are witnessing Jon’s “I don’t want to grow up attitude” at this point. Can’t he go without sex while visiting his children (regardless if they are sleeping or not). He should keep his antics as “undercover” as possible so the children are “protected” from all Jon’s personal issues. At this point Kate is at least acting like the better parent. Although we don’t see any actual physical love towards the children from Kate on any of the shows. So she says she is “all about the kids” but we don’t see this on the show. We know she is going through alot right now but so are the children and now is when they especially need the physical hugs and kisses and “I love you”.

i agree with a lot of people when they say kate was a control freak and talked down to jon but since when did that justify a man cheating on his wife? why didnt he grow a pair and stand up to her? maybe kate has been bitten with the showbiz bug but i also think she has an opportunity to financially secure her kids future and shes going to avail of it. honestly folks how many pictures have you seen of kate draped around young men while partying like mad?

As a woman, even I find it appalling at the way the media has played up Kate. Jon should have left her long before any of the kids were born.Kate is the only one willing to exploit her children and so the powers that be side with her, of course. Right from the start of that show she did everything she could to belittle that man on public tv. She was abusive, I totally agree with Jon. I’m just glad he finally got enough of a backbone to say enough and divorce her before his children grow up thinking that all women act like she does. I do feel sorry for the kids, they are never going to know respect for another human being, like Jon they will never be right, like Jon they will never be allowed to express themselves without their mother’s disapproval. Kate is not capable of teaching those babies the true meaning of love, nor will she be able to teach them how to feel good about themselves . She can’t teach them what she does not know. It felt good at the time didnt it Kate with all of your snide comments and oneupmanship.I bet you felt so much better than Jon, after all you were just the perfect wife and mother. Tell me Kate does it feel good now. A good wife and mother encourages her family by making each and every one of them feel like thety are an important member of a team, not a bench sitter that is only good for donations.

Jon, hurry up get the divorce. Just remember that your status as a man does not depend on the actions of any woman,past or future, you have those kids to be a father to. Keep your private life private they don’t need to see it. Kate is the type of person that will shove it down their throats just to hurt you. Shake of the residue of Kate get control of yourself and love those kids with everything you have. You are the only stable person in their lives

I saw there first shows and started watching it regularly but soon I was saying ” That guy is going to leave her some day. It was very plane to see even back 8 years ago. She has only herself to blame for the brake up of her marriage. She bossed him around and verbally abused him to the point of being embarrassing to watch. He did exactly what a man does that is treated like that at home. He went a found someone who didn’t treat him that way.That whole story is as old as time itself. Now watching tonight I can see she hasn’t learned a thing. It’s all me,me,me with her. I’m the best parent there is and I only think of MY kids. What a bunch of crap. She’s going to miss the big money she was making but tries to make it sound like it’s all for the kids. Kate, give me a brake! Also I believe in making kids behave but I have seen how she bosses these kids around too just like she did with Jon. These kids are going to grow up hating her in the long run. Kate, get your act together! I’m so sick of her I’m glad that this show is over.

I just cant understand what jon was thinking, I understand sometimes people fall out of love and that is fine but the way he did it is not cool. Does he understand want your children are going to see and think as they get older and can understand more? You are a very strong woman and dont anybody ever tell you different. I just want the best for you and your children.
