Kate admits she was 'stressed' on Old Navy trip with twins

infdaily.com
In response to some depressing photos of Kate upset at her kids again, Kate tweeted this:

Lies again! Old navy pics were taken on SUNDAY before fam photo shoot.stressed 2b styling Fam of 9 1hr before pics?Yes! Good try INF daily!


Regardless when the photos were taken, it's sad to see Kate take stress out on her children, If her obligations when it comes to staying relevant, including professional photo shoots, are too stressful for her to handle, then don't do them.

New York State of Mind said...

I said insisting on the stranger danger thing was a bad move since it gives the kids the impression that because they've seen the abductor at least once they are not strangers, ergo they can trust them

===============

"I'm sorry. I thought you said that "With all due respect, stranger danger was one of the worst moves made in an attempt to raise awareness." I guess I misunderstood, although it's fairly clear that you said one of the "worst" moves, not simply a bad move. Either way, I don't even see it as a bad move when one considers that kids are generally friendly and likely to go with those who tell them that they are friends of their parents who sent them to pick them up, or to help them find a lost dog. Anytime we can tell our children not to trust someone they don't know is not a bad move, but it goes further than that. You're talking about two separate things here, but incorporating them into one. Stranger danger is NOT a bad move in educating our children, but along with it goes the concept that kids need to be alert to anyone who offers them anything, or to take them anywhere without their parents' permission regardless if the person is known to them at all - or if they have just seen them one time.

"The kids you are talking about are in the 2%."

==============

Tell that to the parents of those two percent who were abducted. It doesn't lessen the pain. I don't trust stats - never did - stats are only as valid as those who collect and analyze the data...too many variables, such as if the stranger was completely unknown to the child, if it was someone the child had seen at a distance before. "Stranger" is open to interpretation, and therefore can easily influence the data collected.

PollyKlaas.org is an excellent website on how to keep our kids safe. I know Mark and he has said that stranger danger does create a false environment for the kids because they see their parents talking to strangers and can't understand why it's wrong for them to do that. Kids need to learn not to be paranoid, and that if they are in a situation that doesn't feel right, they can go to a stranger for help because the majority of the people that they don't know are not dangerous perverts, but would certainly help out a child if he/she is in danger from another person, whether that person is known to them or not. However, stranger danger IS one way of teaching kids that if they feel something is not right if a stranger approaches, then there may be danger. It is not the worst move in teaching child safety.

denni don't like Kate, if Kate does that event in Vegas, it's a Rock-n-Roll event. They have them all over the country and let me tell you - they are super fun! I don't know why she couldn't do one closer to home though. Oh wait, yes I do. Someday, if you're inclined, I hope you'll do a Rock-n-Roll event too. I had a blast and just signed up for next year. If she hasn't signed up yet, she may not be able to. They do sell out, and you're right, the price does keep going up. Last year, the Seattle event sold out months before the actual date and I missed doing it because of that. I will believe that she did it when I read her times posted after race day, because yes, you can look up anyone's time after the event.

@Kateplusmy8 K8, wanna come over & visit? I have a starbucks card for you
***************

Oh my. Oh how sad and pathetic. 'PLEEEEEZE come over, I will PAY you!' Oh so pitiful. Bigfan, is there no church in your area? Kind parishioners will come get you if you have no car. What about the children's section of the public library if you DO have a car? So many other free things to do if you are so lonely, that dont involve begging a stranger to stop over for pay and a brownie. You poor thing...

LaLaLandNoMore said...

I agree with whoever believes that body guard is for Kate; not anyone else! She is the "stah", don't you know? And, yes, she is just pulling our chains and enjoying the attention, both good and bad. She is desperate to remain relevant.

--------------------------------

Yes, she's waiting for the kids to get home and then she will ignore them and have a tweet fest with her tweetie sheeple. Of course, it will begin by her proclaiming what a wonderful mother she is because she made them some delicious dinner (she slaved over a hot soup can all day) and they all thanked her 10,000 times. Oh, and I bet she'll say they couldn't wait to get home and ride their NEW BIKES (in yet another dig to Jon!).

No one cares said...

12 mile run and no paparazzi or tweet pix? Either Katan is lying or she is THAT irrelevant.

denni don't like Kate..... said...

@ PJ Momma..... I looked the Rock N Roll events up and there is one close to me in San Antonio.....perhaps that will be the first one I do......I checked the airfare rates to Vegas from Houston, and it would be prohibitive for me to fly out there at those prices......but I do run with an older group of women on a regular basis (mostly 5K and 10K events) and we do it for fun and fellowship.....we're not looking for publicity (however, we do like a cold brew afterwards!)...... maybe the publicity iss why K8 wants to go to Vegas......maybe she thinks she'll be noticed...plus, i doubt if she wants to be with the kids...another weekend without them.......i wonder where the closest Rock n Roll event is to her location instead of the Vegas run?

Didn't they just start kindergarten as well...at 7???

What is she doing to these kids??

PJ's momma said...

denni Don't Like Kate, if you like a brew afterward, Rock-n-Roll is for you - there is a beer garden at the finish. I'm not a big beer drinker, but after I finished and recovered a little, I thought, 'I don't mind if I do!' It was very fun, even by myself. It would be even more so with your friends! You could have team shirts or costumes or something. We lived in San Antonio for a while back in 1989/90. Holy cow, I don't know how you run in that heat. Yow!

Anonymous said...

Many locations closer to Kate and the New York 10K was this weekend, she was there anyway, why not run that one. Philadephia was in September, nope not there either. Why, because she wants to go to Vegas, the nightlife, the city, better chance of being noticed by paps perhaps?

Smoochie

khater said...

Just saw the list of the new celebrity apprentice...no Khate in sight. That could have been a good job for her. But of course, she is lazy and mean, so no one would want to work with her....however...you would think she would be a 'dramatic' draw for the show.
She must really be unpopular. That is the only way to explain it.

*********
For all those photo shoot poses, smiles and the bucolic setting of her estate home, Kate finds any excuse to travel and spend time away from PA.
Come on! She's a novice runner at best, has not been into organized runs at any level and her first foray into a distance run has to be 2000 miles away?
There are plenty of opportunities to enter runs in her region, which would not include flights, hotels and restaurants. What a shitty (sorry) reason to leave the kids with the babysitter. I hope they get to have an extended stay with Jon while Kate galavants once again.

Nobody Likes a Narcissist said...

True, "smoochie". Also, though, we all KNOW that someone is footing the bill for this because Khate doesn't go anywhere "on (her) dime"! Someone is paying the entrance fees, airfare, hotels, meals, and Stevie. Plus, of course, the race clothing, other clothes, manicures, pedicures, fake tanning, bleach touch up before she goes, massage when race is over, etc.

It's disgusting how much time and energy she focuses on her own pursuits. There is nothing wrong with a mom, or parent, doing that, BUT, Khate does it to the exclusion of her kids and their interests. Unlike the vast majority of parents we know, she isn't constantly going to practices for sports, music, etc. and games, competitions, recitals. With eight kids, she has so much more free time than most mothers with only two around those ages. I guess it's easy for her, because her life is all about HER.

It's the end of October; wouldn't you think a Supermom would be blogging about Halloween costumes & activities by now instead of spiders?

Pretty strange on her home alone Sunday she has had nothing to twatter; maybe this week she DID drop her zillionth pink phone into her coffee cup while zooming home from church. Or maybe she's too busy making 8 Halloween costumes as a surprise, nah, scratch that one.

Big fan of 15 minutes. First time posting. I wonder if Kate & Steve are running in the "Run Thru the Wedding Ceremony" portion of the Las Vegas Rock-n-Roll 1/2 Marathon?

That's exactly it! She and Jon should be going absolutely bonkers with little league, soccer, ballet, gymnastics, boy scouts, brownies and on and on...
OK, maybe Kate's mentioned an after school activity once in a while, but none of those kids has been involved in community, team or organizational activities.
The mere fact that Kate plans all these trips just goes to show that she justifies not doing any of these things because, boo hoo, she had 6 at once and they're all the same age!
Frankly, that makes matters easier on many levels.
In fact, the only time Kate mentioned doing anything connected with an activity was the school field trip, which she bitched about. She does not participate in the community at all. I can't imagine how the other parents can stand her.

HA HA HA!! I just went to the site for the Las Vegas Rock 'n Roll and saw this. Mystery solved! Now we know why Khate is going out there.

I guess she qualifies as their "celebrity host". This would really do a lot of things for Khate - it's a job without the kids, she gets freebie travel and accommodations, she loves the spotlight and attention, and she can tout giving to charity without opening her own wallet for a penny:

PJ's momma said...

Y'all, Kate would have a hard time being noticed by anyone at that race, if she does it. It's hard to stand out when 25,000-40,000 people are around you doing exactly the same thing! Cities get inundated by these events and are completely packed out. When I did it, I was in the 8th corral with hundreds of people and when I looked back, it was a sea of humanity, as far as the eye could see. I think she just wants to be away from the kids and have the undying adulation of her fans who will kiss her virtual feet when she tweets about it. Maybe her kids will thank you four thousand times an hour for doing it too???

PJ's momma said...

NLAN, until I see Kate is a 'celebrity host' I won't believe it! When I did this event, the celebrity host was a local TV personality that all locals would know.

fidosmommy said...

Don't we already know how Kate does at community events? I remember the 4th of July parade in Wyomissing when she decided to walk the kids on a plastic circle chain so they could be "normal". And she screeched the whole way there "Don't look at us, don't mind us!"

Then there was the church (?) yard sale with the misspelled sign. Somebody had gone to a lot of trouble to make those signs, it was for a good cause, and Kate's reaction was to declare the person some kind of stupid. And Jon wasn't getting the tables covered fast enough for her.

Yep, Kate's a real team player.

tate said...

I wouldn't put it past Kate to have wrangled some kind of d-list host spot at this running event. That way all of her expenses would be covered and she would be in a small spotlight. I just find it hard to believe that anyone would really even want her there in a host capacity or otherwise. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Wonder if anyone could contact the race organizers and find out who these celebrity hosts are?

Anonymous said...

Didn't necessarily mean be noticed during the race, moreso afterwards. Las Vegas is a hotbed for stars & paps at least at certain hotels and VIP lounges. You know Kate thinks she qualifies as a 'star' and is probably hoping to be invited to a big after party or something of the like, otherwise why race across the country and not in a local race.

Smoochie

Well, I don't think it's some great gig that would attract a real "celeb". It sounds perfect for Khate, really. This is probably the best her agent or manager can do right now. It certainly isn't a week guest hosting The Talk, or The View.

Plus, that reality TV guy (from The Bachelor?) tweeted her out of the blue about it. He must have heard something from someone.

PJ's Momma - are you talking about the actual half marathon? This event says it's the "first ever Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Stiletto Dash". It's just something going on the day before the half marathon and marathon on Sunday. It's not the main attraction.

Hasn't Khate tweeted with that San Diego "Hispanic Elvis" guy a few times about the lettuce wraps at PF Chang's that she loves? LOL, so she'll love this. I saw it on the event page for the marathon:

PJ's momma said...

NLAN: BOTH! I can't see her as a celebrity host for even a 50-yard dash - people hate her!! HATE her! And she clearly knows nothing about running (one long run per week, carbo loading, taking hydration and ditching the phone, wearing wicking clothing, etc.) so I have my doubts about the 1/2 too. But she has surprised before, maybe she does intend to do both. Time will tell.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

What kills me is that she BRAGS about not having any running instruction, not even informal that she's ever admitted. Could she at least read a book on it? She could be destroying her knees or be causing other serious industries--not to mention our concerns about calories in/calories out--because she has never let someone help her. It's rather like pulling a tooth out without any formal dental instruction. You might succeed in getting it out, but it's going to be messy.

Chilly In PA said...

She and Jon should be going absolutely bonkers with little league, soccer, ballet, gymnastics, boy scouts, brownies and on and on...

------------------------

Why? Isn't it enough that these kids have been dragged around all of their lives? Why must they, or any child, be burned out with an endless list of activities that their parents push on them, or think is necessary to keep up with the Jones children? Their focus right now should be on their school work, coming home, doing homework, and relaxing -- not being transported here and there until they are exhausted to the point of being worn out.
They are seven years old! Nothing wrong with Cub Scouts or Brownies at that age, but for goodness sakes, let them just be kids. It's not a contest to see who in the class can do the most extra-curricular activities. They'll be tired of everything by the time they are in Middle School.

Kate's always hinting about another cookbook. I think many of her admirers don't know she had one that fell through. Not a confidence builder for any publisher who has to front a whole lot of money to sign her.
She simply does not have the same motherly, family-oriented cache that she used to. Her image and brand have changed and it would be a challenge to figure out how to market her.
There's that, and she's is roundly disliked if not despised by the majority of folks who know of her.

So does she count her steps so she knows how many more 50 are? OMG, she is nuts. Plus, someone who is starting out should NOT be running every day. They should be cross-training, and even resting. But then again, they did ask for advice from Running Extraordinaire Kate Gosselin!

I have a legitimate question - can narcissists believe in god?

She has some twit at the top of page about leaving it to god or something.

I thought a person with narcissistic personality disorder thinks of themself as the world, the sun, the universe, the supreme being around whom all things rotate.

I have a hard time believing that kart thinks there is a higher power. I've always assumed she thinks of herself as the HIGHEST power...

****This ISN'T a religion question, it's a narcissism question...****

But with her 'me, me, me' attitude, I can't swallow her comments about God. It seems like she is spouting what she thinks will make her sound best to the most people.

Does anyone know if NPD folks can clinically believe?

Lord, I bet Kate was the biggest cock tease in high school. Those poor dupes who hang on her every word don't realize that she's treating them with the utmost disrespect. She loves to toy with people. How can they not see she loves their frustration?

Too bad the NE had to print "and her daughter Alexis, 11" That just completely turns me off to anything in the article being fact.

Well, I've never met a narcissist at church in 25 years. A lot of other problems but not that.

I imagine narcissists if they try church would quickly grow bored of it. If they go to church it's for other reasons--in Kate's case, to court the Christian market. There needs to be something in it for them.

denni - I love the Komen event too - you can do the Rock-n-Roll event some other time. I was the one who said you're anonymous when in those huge races. Here, they are super-duper early in the morning, probably for traffic mitigation, and I saw the Vegas one is late afternoon/evening, probably for heat related reasons. I sort of envision Kate as one of those people who piss me off at every race - they just go left to pass without ever looking back to see if anyone's there, they wear an iPod even though the rules say not to, they stop dead when they get tired and nearly cause a pile-up, they don't move right when they're lagging, etc. Completely unaware that other people are affected and in fact could be injured because of them. I wonder how they drive!

OK, I feel like I'm on a frenzy tonight too, waiting for Dexter. But wowee, that bus driver comment caught my eye. Baking? Big whoopity freaking doo. Why not break into the bank account and buy, I don't know, coffeeshop gift cards, bookstore gift cards, gift cards for pampering like a nail or hair place, etc. You know, all the things Kate expects freebies for and receives. We are all rolling in baked goods over the holidays, who needs more of that?

Earlier, someone had asked her if she'd go to the UK one day and she said it was a dream of hers. Then someone (BigFan) suggested Kate release her book in the UK so she could get a freebie trip there. As if her publisher would be interested in the 5 sheeple fans she has there for this horribly selling POS book.

Dallas Lady said...

After her kids being gone all weekend, she should be spending time with THEM, not Twitter on her damn phone.

It's 9 pm where she is and even though I agree kids need their sleep, why couldn't she be with them, talking quietly, or cuddling up with one or two of them (take turns, maybe?).

She's so over those kids, has been for quite some time.

As for leaving kids in the car, I don't care what anyone says. I didn't leave my kid in the car. Not even to run into a store where I could see her and she was 50 feet away. I live in an urban area and shit happens, as they say. I'd never forgive myself.

Even when she was older, I wouldn't do it. And I'm not a hovering, overprotective mom. It's just not smart.

And yes, at home, she played in her room by herself, etc. But as a parent, you still always keep an ear out and if things get too quiet, you go check things out.

postage issues said...

@Kateplusmy8 I hav been trying to send u my book to sign but unfort I can't buy prepaid postage here in uk so u can return by airmail

================

Please tell me sheeple aren't this stupid. Weigh the book. Look up shipping cost on the USPS website. Send along a bubble envelope with the money and the book. Kate returns the book to you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry, but this time the sheeple is right. There is no easy way to supply return postage for an international package. It's very expensive to exchange small amounts of cash (even if you can find someplace to do it for you), and you can't buy US postage in foreign countries.

You used to be able to buy IRCs - international return coupons - that other countries would honor, but very few accept them now, and, as far as I know, none of them are in Europe, for instance.

If Kate's requiring return postage, her international fans are out of luck. It's no loss, as they will discover once they've gotten older than 13.

Postage to Europe *is* expensive. I sent a few magazines to a friend on the continent, and it cost almost $20. Now all the mail goes by air. When you could choose to send it by boat, it was very cheap, but it did take 8 to 10 weeks, versus only a few days now.

Tucker's Mom, yep, she mentions it in her "I Just Want You To Know What A Terrible Child You Are" book. A book which, by the way, one can read for free at google books. I wonder if her poor and non USA sheeple know that?

That the trip never made it to television is just a tiny glimpse into what having "reality" cameras around filming. Only about 25% filmed actually makes it on the show. Must be confusing for the kids. Kind of surreal too, wondering if you're memories are correct because they aren't in the final edited version.

@@@@@@

First class international airmail to the UK for a book is no more than $13.50. I ship items there quite often.

@@@@@@@@@@@@

The sheeple may be correct in that she is unable to buy return postage, but she is not correct in that she is unable to send the book and get it signed. She figures out the shipping, sends a bubble envelope along with the package and the cash for Kate to send the book back to her. If she wants it signed badly enough, she will find someplace to exchange currency. Others in the UK have had their items signed and returned.

Who's she kidding? She most likely won't give the bus driver anything for Xmas.

When I worked in elementary education one of my favorite gifts was anything from Bath and Body Works. It was something that I would always use. Or just a tube of some good hand lotion was a great gift, as well. Kate's not going to spend a dime on anyone because she's not a giving person and she doesn't appreciate the people who work with her children on a daily basis. Kate cares about one person in this world and we know who that is: KATE.
Why is it that as soon as the kids come home from Jon's, Kate ignores the kids and gets on Twitter? What a sorry, worthless mother. What a sorry, worthless human being.

@xxxxxxxwas going to ask u if u get nervous. I am too. Started eating power gels while running yesterday& did 12 miles! Yay! Ist time!

```````
Power gels? Is this something for a "health concious" person to be eating? I have never heard of them so wondered if they were actually ok.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

My limited knowledge of running is only from one season of cross country and a couple of seasons of track all of which I hated with a passion.

Kate is running on the "slower" slide. Nothing wrong with this, but it does change how you need to approach it. She'll be out on the course a lot longer than the top runners because she's doing much slower miles. Because she's going to be out there longer to cover the same distance she will conceivably lose a lot more sweat than someone running it faster and finishing sooner. Gatorade, power bars/gels are so crucial. You could end up fainting or dead if you just drink water. Her understanding of running is so elementary I'm surprised she even knows about gels, but running marathons is nothing to mess around with. People have died. At the very least join a running club with experienced runners to at least learn from others. She doesn't have to run with them all the time but at least a few times a month just to get a tiny amount of feedback so she doesn't hurt herself.

By the way for an excellent documentary about real runners running the Chicago Marathon, check out Spirit of the Marathon. IT's available on Netflix streaming even. IF you didn't know before that documentary will convince you that running is a very complicated sport. It's not just throwing on a pair of good shoes and go. Kate is way more likely to seriously injure herself due to her amateur understanding of the sport than her kids are to be kidnapped anyway!

Ingrid, power gels are quite effective when doing long distance running. It's like a super shot of caffeine and sugar and other stuff, you literally go ZOOM ZOOM after taking one, after about 10 miles or so. They're very small, about 1 ounce or so. When you do a long race, they actually give them to you at one of the hydration stations far into the race. They taste terrible though! Admin, you are absolutely right. Kate needs sound guidance and advice. When I run at an event like that, I'll stop at each hydration station and will take only water at one station, and then sugar water at the next. My friend did not do the same at her first 1/2 and she got sick as a dog. For days. Running those distances is not natural to the human body; you must prepare it and care for it while you do it and afterward.

If by cooking she means she spent the whole day in bed and watching Dexter and dreading the evening hour when the kids get home and talk her ear off about how much fun they had with Daddy and Ellen, I believe that.

I think that Kate is truly risking her health every time she runs, no matter what the distance. Her body cannot truly be healthy because of her diet. She eats very little protein and carbs. I think she's stressing her heart when she runs because her diet is lacking essential nutrients. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she faints and/or gets very sick while running a marathon because she'll try to run faster just to show off and her body will suffer. But I don't think she'll ever run a marathon. It'll surprise me if she does.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

They might go to church if it feeds the narcissism. I'm guessing narcissists are the kind of people who go on and on when sharing joys and concerns. And there are always a lot more concerns than joys.

You can actually get a lot of attention at church with the right disease or set of multiples. And also, duh, it's freebie central there for an experience grifter. Actually I've always wondered if there might be quite a big scam going on of people who go from church to church, build some friends, and then come down with some terrible cancer they cannot afford to treat. As soon as they have fleeced enough they come up with some excuse to move like the doctor recommends warmer weather.

Also in Kate's case she has a huge motive here--she knows darn well a big chunk of her demographic is the preverbal little ole church lady.

Carb loading is one of a couple running myths that have been busted-
----------------------------------
What’s a marathon without the traditional pre race carbo loading dinner? Those heaping plates of pasta the evening before your marathon have become an accepted part of marathon racing. But, do you need those huge helpings of pasta? Not really. Your pre race taper combined with your normal high carbohydrate helpings of food will get you ready for your race. You neither need nor want excessive portion sizes before your race. The large amounts of food can actually make you sluggish and tired on race morning.
----------------------------------

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Whether or not carb loading is a good thing, it's so prevalent among runners that it's shocking Kate doesn't know about it. Which proves house isolated she is in this dangerous sport.

If she actually ever had a runner friend who could give her a few tips she might have heard of it now and again.

Certainly word has gotten around the various congregations.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Well let me put it this way that USED to be her demographic, her demographic is now teens and dummies.

But I think she THINKS that's he demographic. Which is why she manages to drag herself to church every couple months so she can tweet about it.

KyPastor said...

Narcissists do attend church. Not everyone goes for the reasons we would hope. Some like to control the pastor, and they often sit on the church council to have power within the church. I can say I have had several in the congregations I have served.

Marie said...

Perhaps this isn't related to narassisism at church, but one way it feeds their self-need for attention is, if the church is small and they condone members preaching sermonds every so often.

My SIL's father loves to do this. He loves to gloat how glorified he is, how self-important he is as a member of a church.

Does not matter where a narassist goes as long as they get fed their seen as rightful need for attention. As long as people pay them attention, give them something or have something in it for them be it something material or they get they get the right amount of priase to make themselves feel all warm and fuzzy inside they are good.

Kate might not have the ability to preach (Haha, listen to me!) but her parading her kids into church and her constant boasting of how at the last minute she was able to feed 8 kids, get everyone dressed in their matching church clothes and off to church is all the boasting and praise and glorification she needs to feel whatever it is a narassist needs to feel in order to feel complete I guess.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Actually Ky that's a good point. There are a lot of opportunities for narcissists at church. I just think a lot of them never get through the door to realize what a gold mine to feed on it can be in there.

Such as:
1. various church groups and boards to serve on and get your way on
2. Built in group of people to feel sympathy for you
3. Lots of people willing to latch on to you you can make use of until you're over it.
4. Mission trips you can make all about you
5. Events, galas, fundraisers you can make all about you
6. Prayer sessions all about you

The more I think about it the more it's a great place for them.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh Marie I have heard those sermons.

They usually go like this: I do X wonderful thing in the world. Such as I'm a doctor who saves lives, a lawyer who defends guys on death row who I convert to Jesus too, a missionary in Asia who almost got sent to prison, or I have this or that sad sort

Talk about X wonderful thing about yourself forever, then at the very last minute tie it into Jesus calling you to it.

Actually we stopped doing sermons like this because for the few that are genuinely sincere, there are far more that are just self-serving. Sad. As much as I am devoted to my faith, things like this really bother me and make me uncomfortable.

Re: Narcissists in Church. Oh yeah. They're there.

There is a married couple in our church who are in competition with each other over who has the most lamentable condition. When they are in a conversation group they take over the conversation and interrupt each other's stories to pick up on their own story again. He's going on and on about his sore arm and she breaks in to start in on her mother's diabetes. He breaks in to update us on his sore hip, and she interrupts to inform us one more time about her headaches, her heart condition, her
tummy troubles. Our heads go back and forth like we're at a tennis match.

When he's not there, she's a sobbing mess, telling everyone how much she loves them and how she's a lousy Christian and this and that and this again.

If it weren't so pathetic and sad it would be really funny.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/oct/24/karen-carpenter-anorexia-book-extract

Great article, some eerie similarities to Kate. A few highlights:

She hired a personal trainer, who made visits to her home and recommended a diet low in calories but high in carbohydrates. Instead of slimming down as she had hoped, Karen started to put on muscle and bulk up. Watching the Carpenters on a Bob Hope television special that autumn, she remarked that she had put on some extra weight. Richard agreed she looked a bit heavier. She was discouraged and vowed she was going to "do something about it". She fired her trainer, and immediately set out on a mission to shed the unwanted pounds ON HER OWN.

******

Having witnessed Karen's meticulous routine of counting calories and planning food intake for every meal, Richard complimented her initial weight loss during a break from recording as the two dined at the Au Petit Café, a favourite French bistro on Vine Street near the A&M studios. "You look great," he told her.

"Well, I'm just going to get down to around 105."

****

. Friends and family began to notice extreme changes in Karen's eating habits, despite her attempts at subtlety. She rearranged and pushed her food around the plate with a fork as she talked, which gave the appearance of eating. Another of her strategies involved offering samples of her food to others around the table. She would rave on about her delicious meal and then insist that everyone try it for themselves.

****

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

more:



Karen's new slim figure required that she purchase a new stage wardrobe, and she opted for a number of low-cut silky gowns, some strapless or even backless.

***

In fact, after a few shows, Bash was approached by concerned fans who knew something was terribly wrong but assumed she had cancer or some other disease. Even critics (Admin: today's "haters") took note of her gaunt appearance.
****

Band members witnessed her exhaustion. She was lying down between shows, something she had rarely, if ever, done before. They were shocked to see how she could be flat on her back one minute and on stage singing the next. Even when doing back-to-back shows, Karen displayed "a tremendous amount of nervous energy", said Bash.

***

When Karen dieted, or "overdieted", Bash explains, there was a rush of attention from the family, especially Agnes. "Karen had never had attention from Agnes before – her mother doted exclusively on Richard – so she liked it. The experts say that one of the things that seems to drive young girls to overdiet is that they were oftentimes the kids that never got attention. It's a way of getting the love from their family that they never got before."

***
Under Agnes Carpenter's close watch, Karen slept 14-16 hours a day. "My mother thought I was dead," she told biographer Ray Coleman. "I normally manage on four to six hours. It was obvious that for the past two years I'd been running on nervous energy."
****

Friends suggested she and Burris seek marital counselling. Instead, the Carpenters prepared to leave for Europe and South America

***
aren took advantage of the beautiful spring weather and began a new exercise routine – to and from her sessions with Levenkron – a brisk two-mile round-trip walk. This was yet another method to burn extra calories. Outwardly Karen seemed committed to the idea of therapy, but as evidenced by her daily walking regimen, she was not as committed to making actual changes that would result in real progress. "She was still walking a lot, and she was exercising," Carole Curb says. "

&&&
The family atmosphere is chaotic, reinforcing the anorexic's belief that she and no one else knows what is best for her."
**
He suggested a therapist in Los Angeles so that she might continue a routine of some sort upon her return home, but she declined.
****
Despite her high spirits, she was taking more naps than usual and sometimes lying down by seven in the evening.

It will be two years this November that Kate was first seen filming a test pilot for Twist of Kate in a restaurant. Ha. I think Kate knows the real story on that but is far too embarrassed to admit it. In one of those many meetings, they sacked that whole thing in cold blood and told her to quit her crying.

Ha, ha. She thinks that stinker of a book, I Just Want You to Know, is her best work? She didn't even get a book tour to speak of for it because it was so badly received. I wished someone would have tweeted back that it was online free for viewing or get your two copies for a buck at the dollar store. I think she only boasts about that book is that she hates that the first book by Beth actually got to be a best seller.
And still sheeple bleating for her to write a cookbook when they see what she puts on her blog as delish delights for the family? Really! Can they not read the back of boxes, cans and bags themselves? I just have to marvel at what a collection of ninnies those twit followers of hers are.
Is she saying they are already baking Christmas treats for teachers, mail man and such? Why so early? And I agree with others on here, much better to give anything but more sweets at the Holidays. Likely to be another lie like the Christmas carols and cookies business in one episode I caught.

@Kateplusmy8 oh how I wish you were my neighbor...I could use some mommy support! LOL

++++++++++++++++++++++

I do kind of feel sorry for these people. Do you suppose they would take the word of a former neighbor about how much support Kate would actually give to someone who lives near her? Perhaps she should read Walt Mueller's blog, "learning my lines..." Jon & Kate...Too Late?

Don't you know that she freezes everything...cupcakes, scones, meatloaf, granny soup, tomato sauce, brownies, Jon?

Colder than a witch's t*t!

Marie said...

Even if Kate freezes just about everything, is she you know not aware of freezer burn? It happens. Now, I don't know how long cookies will keep but...come on. Why bake now? Most people don't bake until what, late to mid-November?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Many people bake now to avoid last-minute Christmas baking so that they can enjoy the holidays. Sbe said "treats," didn't she - not necessarily cookies. I didn't see her original tweet. However, if she is making cookies, they should be fine to unfreeze over the holidays, providing she knows to let them cool thoroughly before she freezes them. Otherwise, she'll have soggy cookies.

In the Neighborhood said...

If there were a person with the kids in the van, and the NE printed a story that she left the kids alone in the car, wouldn't she have a good case of libel against the magazine?

fidosmommy said...

I missed the tweet about Christmas gifts. Did she say they were actually preparing them now, or just planning what they wanted to give now?

My mom would have had half her Thanksgiving and Christmas baking done by now. Her unbaked pie shells and fruit pies would already be made and in the freezer. Frozen fruit pies bake beautifully. Frozen cookies, bars, etc. all defrost and taste great if you wrap them properly. I've never had a frost-burnt cake or cookie.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Let me get this straight. She was so disorganized she ended up shopping an hour before the photoshoot even though she knew about it at least a few days ahead of time, but here she is making Christmas cookies in October????

What about this doesn't add up?

Probably, if the story were proved untrue.

Did the helper get out when the kids got out?
Or did the helper stay in the van while Kate got all the kids out? Since Kate seems to need help with her kids all the time, it would make sense for the helper to go into the restaurant and keep the kids occupied while Mommy ordered dinner. Less stress for Kate, which is what she claims she wants.

My guess is the "helper" was Cara or Mady.

Marie said...

I can't bake very well so I wouldn't know you could freeze cookies or treats or whatever this early.

What doesn't hold though is her super organized self who is last minute for buying kids clothes for a photoshoot that day but then turns around and bakes holiday treats two months away...???

Then again, when does anything about Kate ever add up? She's like the Sunday crossword puzzle - takes up your time and makes you think, but in the end, all you are left with are pieces to a puzzle that you really have no use for.

Wouldnt it be nice for Cara if it is just a special private-time for her and her mom? I always tried to have a special thing with each child alone. I have my fingers crossed on this on Cara's behalf.

amyf said...

RE the 1/2 marathon: Given her ignorance - and everything else we know about her - let's all hope she falls flat on her face, at least figuratively.

And I was thinking, didn't Kate say way back when OVER and OVER and OVER again how much she liked having the TV show because it allowed her to be a SAHM? Whatever happened to the "SA" part of it that was so important to her?

Miss Kitty said...

I think the pic was staged to deflect attention from the kids in the van issue.

The woman should have taken the pic - if it were me, and I had the chance to embarass K8, call attention to the treatment/neglect that the kids face, and make a few bucks for myself....hell yeah I would do the same thing.

Miss Kitty said...

When they were in the old house she made the comment "if you have to follow a recipe than you're not a real cook."

Now she has recipes on the website and she is thinking about writing a cookbook.

Taking cooking advice from her would be like going to Dr. Kevorkian for a headache.

Vanessa said...

Been catching up on a lot of posts...
leaving the kids in the van? Typical and are we surprised? Why hasn't she commented on Twitter about it like she did the Old Navy shots? Would love to hear what she has to say! PLUS, she's feeding her family CHINESE TAKEOUT? Hmmm, what ISN'T deepfried, loaded in MSG? do they have organic Chinese takeout in her town?
She has a level 10 freakout over ordering pizza?
I wonder if they made her up a special salad?

Did I read up somewhere that the marathon is a "stiletto 50 yrd dash"? THERE'S the event she'll be participating in.

Gimme said...

Early planning (in Khate speak) probably means they had a conversation about it. In spite of all her talk about planning and organizing, she is a procrastinator and does everything at the last minute.

roxyhelen said...

New York State of Mind you're right :) What I should have said was that along with the "Don't go with strangers" there should be "Don't go with anyone unless I say you can". I think it would have been a lot clearer if I had said that Stranger Danger was very emphasised and the going with people you know without telling your parents was neglected.At least in the past.

Also, let me just say that I meant no disrespect although looking back it may have sounded harsh or like I just "threw" the kids you mentioned in a 2% "pile".It is not the case. It was absolutely not my intention.There is this amazing YT channel "broomcr" which presents the stories of children either abducted and killed or killed at the hands of people who were supposed to protect them.I visit that channel every time there is a new video and I really admire the person who put together such a channel.I have nothing but respect for all the innocent kids who deserved nothing but happiness.

Lastly, I want to take the opportunity to tell people to go to broomcr's Youtube channel because in my opinion, that channel pays a respectable tribute to all murdered children and it helps raise awarness.

Just Me said...

I tend to think the NE incident happened for a couple reasons. The most glaring being Kate hasn't tried to "set the record straight." I've noticed that when there is nothing she can really use to deflect/distract about something that is true she is silent about it.

As far as I can tell she hasn't mentioned the NE article at all.

Second, if they had been a helper in the car, why would the local have been upset about the kids being in the car alone. If someone is sitting in the front seat (which I don't know how you could tell from the pictures I saw), it was likely Cara or Mady.

There would be no reason for Kate to rush out, demand the woman destroy the photos, move the van and take all the kids inside IF there was actually an adult in the vehicle the whole time to begin with.

I think there are times you can leave an older child in the car alone for brief periods, but those pictures scared me.

There was an entire side of the van that would have been really easy for someone to drive up next to and open a door or break a window and it would have been out of sight due to the height of the van.

Gimme said...

I don't think NE would have ran that report if there had been an adult in the van either. I think both Mady and Cara were in the van and that she did take Alexis in with her, as she has been shown to keep her within reach or even in her lap (?). Why did she park so far away would be my question? What the fire lane wasn't open?

Tucker's Mom said...

Just me, I'm in "agreeance" with your logic here.
First, if the observer can see that the kids are in the van, how she could not see an adult sitting right there in the front seat?
Second, if there was a sitter in the van, why would Kate move the van herself? Call her, text her or simply go up to the van and say "hey, there's a woman taking photos of the van, move it up to the front"
Third, people take photos of the G's in public all the time. All. The. Time. Why would Kate care if a woman, who is standing quite a distance away (as evidenced by her photos), who has not approached the children and is not an imminent threat, is taking photos of the kids in the van with an adult?
Fourth, to those who suggest that the observer call the cops. Why didn't Kate call the cops? Was she being a "Mama Bear" in demanding the photos be deleted, was she protecting her babies, or was Kate worried about what was caught on camera? If the case was the former, Kate should have called the cops. If the latter, no wonder she did not.

Hey, I could be wrong, but I think my logic makes sense, given what we have read and seen.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I think Kate didn't call the cops because she knows this woman has every right to take photos. Public place, from several yards away. The cops probably wouldn't even have come out. If anyone should have called the cops it should have been the bystander. When kids are truly in danger that's what cops are for. Kate's silence does suggest she has no defense for this one. Not even that it was taken on the wrong day!

NT said...

If Kate is running the 1/2 marathon in Vegas that makes alot of sense. She's desperate to get out of cold weather and into the heat so she can show off her bod. I'm sure it will be comped all the way and that makes no sense at all. Why these charities think that spending money to get these celebs to their events is worth the money spent. Kate will bring zero $$ into the pot. No one really cares if she's there or not. But she's determined to get her winter vacays whether TLC pays or someone else pays. As long as it's not her paying. Wonder if someone can find out where and when exactly she will be running? Apollo Ono is running the New York marathon this year!! He's been training for a year and he's already an athlete. Can't wait to see how Kate does.

LaLaLandNoMore said...

As most of us are aware, change is hard work. Don't expect any major change in Kate any time soon. She is a talking head about how hard her life is, but she is not putting in the work to change anything. Why should she? Exploitation of her kids has worked in the past, so why change? Remember, she became famous for birthing 8 kids, or rather two sets of multiples. Holy smokes, did you get that TWO sets of MULTIPLES! Right up there with the Saints, don't you know? If she were willing to work, get training, change profession, acting lessons, etc. we might be willing to cut her a break. Continued cries of sympathy for having a lot of children (by choice) just doesn't get it. Unless she is independently wealthy, which she may be, but I doubt, she needs to get off her skinny butt and work like the rest of the world. It's called supporting your family, not the other way around. That "gold platter" costs a lot of money, Kate.

HollyMo said...

Just wanted to point out another of kHate's lies.
Why would she be giving the bus driver a Christmas present? I thought the bus driver said mean things to her kids and they couldn't get rid of him/her.
Nothing adds up in her world, does it?

)))))))

She cared about the guy on the RV trip who was taking photos of them, and wanted Steve to "do something about it." Why?

anger issues kate said...

Well, if Kate is doing that 50 dash in Las Vegas which is in heels, should she not be running in heels? Last time I looked, running shoes and heels are very different. And taking power jels, thats like living off Red Bull. Kate knows nothing about runners nutrition, just cause she is a nurse, does not mean she knows, nutrition.
I would like to see the Gibson Salon, donate hair cuts and dye jobs to 50 women at the unemployment office and the woman shelter, everytime they do Kates hair. Since Kate's hair is comped and she can afford it.
I also like that Kate has been down playing things she has been doing lately. Just like the up-coming stuff, very quiet about it. Kate has something up her selve, besides her arm.

Miss Kitty said...

She is a real piece of work.

The blatant lie about nurses working a 12 hour shift every day? Phleeze....nurses work 12 hr shifts, but 3 times a week. Not 7. People check these things, Dearest Kate, don't cha know? Maybe she is so into the "living in the moment" that she forgets the lies she said just weeks ago - IN FRONT OF CAMERAS.....

IF she had to work a 12 hour shift every day, that would be 84 hours a week. 44 hours of overtime pay and 40 hours standard pay. That would be working her "fingers to the bone to support 8 kids"....How many hospitals have you applied to, Kate?

Lots of people work 2 jobs to support families - she is not the only woman in the world to raise 8 kids by "herself" (wink wink).... She had a running start with having TLC help pay for a house, food, diapers, trips and freebies. She was getting paid for nagging her hubby and embarassing her kids. She should have put money in each kids college/future fund, save for retirement, and then have fun with extra money. She has....um...had a big platform to bring attention to important causes - help with premie babies, etc... but that would have taken the attentin off her, so never mind.

What if Jon was the one who was the tyrant of the house - yelling at Kate, giveing slaps and hits cutesy called love taps, and putting her down at every chance he got? He would be called an abuser, and she would be very sympathetic.

Jon was not perfect, but Kate is horrible. Maybe if she was not such a hatefull person than people would be more likely to help. But now I think that the people who are paying attention to her, just like I am, are doing it because at this point its a sideshow. Morbid curiosity. She is nothing but a loser. And
I'm just waiting for her to call herself a "modern day Princess Diana" or something like that. I would love to see her try the "I'm a stah" crap in Hollywood and see her get laughed out of town...... now THAT i would pay to see.....

Life has a way of turning out "good"....doesn't that just sound...stupid? Shouldn't it be "well"? I'm definitely NOT the grammar police, but for someone who has a blog, she should watch those little errors. '

And keep trying Kate, the more you try, the more unappealing & idiotic you come off. And desperate. She is DONE. Reality has-beens don't go far, & that's all she ever was. The fact that she still tweets is pathetic. And re-tweeting compliments about oneself is just LAME. I think I tweeted that to her once. :)

All this drama for nothing if a helper was sitting there with them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was drama that you started by 'refusing to let things go & move on'. I believe you called people 'paranoid' & 'smother mothers' as well. That was 'snotty'. Of course people are going to defend themselves from such criticism.
***********************************************
HC,
I don't think Admin called anyone a 'smother mother.' I posted a comment about a friend who was into "smothering mothering" because she was always paranoid about bad things happening to her daughter. (ie - someone snatching her baby if her hair blew into her eyes while in a parking lot). Admin's comment to that was, smothering mothering isn't good for kids.

Hippie Chick said...

Sooverit....
I didn't make those comments about "smother mothers". I promise! Wrong girl!!

About Kate not making any remarks about bad publicity & the kids in the van, she has done this in the past. I think in Kate's book, any publicity, is good, no matter what. I can't think of anything now, but there are some examples of Kate not saying a word about things that have come out about her or the kids in the past, just so she could have her moment in the sun. Of course, this was before Twitter!

I would like to share my perspective. I am in no way applying this to Kate or any specific person.

There are those who claim Christianity, but it is not the traditional Christianity. Most would
agree we go to Church to confess our sins and to affirm our belief in God and Jesus in a variety of ways. Others have a different agenda. They are there to ask for what they want. They believe God will bless them with both tangible and intangible gifts if they give to God first.
For example, they might have prayed and prayed for their financial situation to improve and have decided since they gave God their last dollar in the offering plate, God has promised to fix their problem. There are many
different versions of this 'prosperity gospel'.
The common feature is that in the end, the worshiper comes out ahead because he believed
God would reward faithfulness with really good blessings.

That is the crux of their faith. God gives me
abundance when I give God all I have, tangibly
speaking. Traditional Christianity asks us to give heart and soul and mind to God and to love our neighbor, and there may not be an actual reward we can put our finger on. Sometimes
the reward is found in the relationship alone, as I personally believe it should be. I refuse to even hold heaven as a carrot for Christians.
Give, love, respect, believe without a thought for what you will receive in return, now or later. That is the heart of the Christian.

This sermonette went on much longer than I intended, but the upshot of it is that narcissists and others may believe, but it may not be in the way we might hope.
