No follow-up specials for Kate Plus 8?

Kate tweeted today that she doesn't think any specials are going to happen.

 Kate Gosselin 

@ 
XXXX don't think there are going to b any ....:(



Although a network rep told People last August, "TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future," Kate doesn't sound very hopeful. Who put the kibosh on this one? Jon? TLC? The fiasco with Bill Blankinship?

In my comment above, #12, when I posted about all the teens who mentioned sending Christmas gifts just in the tweets from Friday, I forgot this one. She's 17 and shipping them from England:

@Kateplusmy8 Christmas presents are in the Post now :D. Winging their way to you as we tweet :) let me know when you get them :) xx

That makes four teens in just one day tweeting about sending Khate and the kids Christmas gifts.

Twittering and a Twattering said...

Sometimes the tweeter haters are good for a giggle. A sheeple tweeted that she and her sibings had the chicken pox at the same time (pre vaccine), to which a non-fan responded:

xxxxxxxx
@PeggyScot @Kateplusmy8 @MiloandJack @mumbear9 Pre-vaccination??? Good grief, how old are you?

The chicken pox vaccine was licensed by the FDA in 1995, so the sheeple really isn't that old! I suspect that the non-fan was thinking about the smallpox vaccine - two entirely different vaccines!

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

I just want to add this to my last post:

After tweeting Khate that she shipped out Christmas presents to her, Ellie, (the 17 year old sheeple in England) then tweeted Maggie, the 10 or 11 year old girl in England who had sent the twins birthday gifts. She's the one who had to tweet Khate over and over again, asking Khate if she ever received the package. Then, Khate finally replied they had it, and I think this is the girl that she said the twins then emailed.

So, Ellie tweeted Maggie to tell her how much the shipping cost her (over $23!):

Just_Elliee Ellie
@MaggieGeorge1 omg! It cost me £15 to post the package of christmas presents to @Kateplusmy8 :O xx

So, with shipping, how much money do you think this 17 year old sheeple is out? Maybe $50 or more?? All so she can send Khate some chocolate and Olympic souvenirs? If my kid were that stupid, I think I'd feel like banging my head on a wall....eight times.

Mike Clark actually did more harm than good to Kate's version because he prefaces everything he says with "look publicity is super important here and even I had no clue what I had got myself into". That isn't a direct quote, that is my take on it. His job was to vouch for her blog entry, and I don't think that sits well with him. I think he made up the story about the jelly beans and the words of inspiration and the 10 minute mile pace she supposedly geared into when her legs were rubber, to cover up what actually did happen. Most likely she had to be driven for that section so she could rest. Cause God knows the managers had Access Hollywood and that runner guy stationed at the finish line, there was no question they'd be having her cross that line. The whole thing was staged, just like reality shows are, and it is too bad because I think Kate could well train hard and go from jogger to runner, but nobody will ever believe it.
Also, who seriously encourages strangers to send them gifts? Kate is giving out her PO box address, that is so disgusting. When people ask if they can gift us our our children I thank then and say yes, we'd be honoured if you donated a meal in our name, or clothes to a shelter. It is beyond tacky for Kate. Doesn't she have koala bears to save? Quit grifting Kate and use your celebrity for good for a change.Tell those tweens in Englang to save the postage and just make a donation to charity. Who am I kidding? Kate wants and Kate aims to get.

The Queen is EXHAUSTED from being up all night playing nurse to her 2 sick kids. Horrors!!!!!!!!
Guess they will not be going to church today : ) Big Surprise : )

As for the tree- looks like the kids got tired of waiting for mom to put the lights on, so they did it themselves while she was away but didn't have enough.
Thus the "camouflage pointsetta." What she did with the lights her hairdresser gave her, one will never know. The tree was obviously was not a priority to Kate.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

Warmth of The Sun 198- Very scary stuff.

Localyocul said...

I just will never understand her or her fans. Ever. Her fans are all teenagers or mothers who hate being mothers. They want to sanctify her for having sick kids? They all find it so exhausting! Sure it can be exhausting but I never complained about it! Except for washing out vomit from bedding and being worried, I loved taking care of my child when she was sick. They are so sweet, they appreciate everything you do, and it's just plain heart-tugging and rewarding. My child would be in MY bed with ME with a bucket next to her. I always would wake up the second she started wretching, hold her hair back and rub her back. Who would put a sick feverish child on a cold floor? It makes me furious.

barbee said...

2 down; 6 to go... It's going to b a fun day here, not! Hopefully they all get it over w at 1X... I'm exhausted from being nurse all night!

Glad I was never her patient if this is her attitude with her dearly loved kids.

Her tree is pathetic (and katie, that is WORSE than mediocre). She admitted to having no clothes sense, well, she has NO decorating sense either! And where did the strings of a couple thousand lights go? They sure as hell are not on that tree. The bags of lights she showed on a post had about 10 pkgs of 300 light sets...

fidosmommy said...

Didn't you know the giver of the 3,000 lights was supposed to come to the house and install them on the tree too? Sheesh, people, get with the program! He failed her. ;-)

Localyocul said...

RE: Kids cellphones. My dd got her first cellphone in 5th grade because her dad (my ex) was stationed overseas and I wanted her to be able to talk to him whenever she wanted. That was 4 years ago and was just a flip phone. If the twins have a downloadable app like twin towers they must have a smart phone which means they would have access to twitter, no? I tried to put a filtering software on my dds ipod a few years ago and it was useless. With ipod touches, smartphones, friends with laptops it is just a matter of time until the twins see all the stuff about their mom out there. If they haven't already.

Mel said...

Goodness! What is with that tree???

You'd think if the kids just gave up and did it themselves that the lights would all be on the bottom.

And there are no ornaments!

What the heck kind of tree IS that anyway? One of those special memory making ones? Snort.

Meet Kate Gosselin...THe 1st mom in history to be exhausted from being up all night with sick kids. Somehow I assume she wasn;t loving and tender..I vision her screeching like a banshee for them to "hurry up and be done being sick - mommy needs rest"

BY THE WAY...notice her kids being sick is all about HER.. HER loss of sleeep. HER wanting them to all get it and get it over with. HER exhaustion

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

(Shaking head)- Sick bays, slleping on the floor, heat off.... this woman is completely nuts. She should never ever be a nurse again. Her prior nursing colleagues apparently agree, based on her personality and horrible attitude.

It is unclear to me how much time this woman actually worked a full-time nursing job, but apparently not long enough, as common sense never sunk in. Plus she seems completely miserable being around "sick people." Her empathy level is zero. Well, she is miserable in general, but still...

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

Anonymous said... 16 - Sore subject for me. Why would anyone ever try to get rid of one of the last gifts Jon's dad gave to twins- christmas ornaments- before he died.

This is just wrong on some many levels. Christmas trees are all about memories for everyone in the family. Her efforts to try to sell/give them away speaks volumes about her character. Which I am guessing is why people continue to post here, as we can not believe what an insensitive, selfish, horrible person/mother she is. NPD includes all of these selfish characteristics, (so does BPD) but when you have 8, Count 'em 8 kids, who she has used to pay her bills and rocket you to fame, it becomes even more unfathomable that these kids get NO consideration. Especially the icky boys.

Let's face it, Kate has zero sentimentality which is sad in and of iteself. Traditions will certainly not be passed on to the kids by Kate, other than her "narcisstic" view of what that means.

librarylady said...

I think maybe we'd better hope that whenever she realizes she has to get an actual, real job, it's not in nursing...for both lack of compassion and apparently professional knowledge reasons...

drbutchiewong said...

Remembering back over 50 years ago when I aced a science test because of one question to which I answered "temperatures below freezing do Not kill germs, but places the germs in a state of dormancy." All my 9th grade class had the wrong answer. Although,I,too, think airing out the house with cold crisp air is invigorating, I would hesitate to promote it as a healing practice.
On the Christmas tree subject I agree the tree looks pityful. In years past, Kate had TLC arrange to have decorators properly enhance K8's
image as Wonder Woman and the trees were beautifuly adorned. I think this year's tree trully represents the real Kate.
But, hey, look at me...I will not be putting a tree up this year. This lack of enthusiasum says a lot about me, too.

Call me crazy, but it NEVER occurred to me to put my kids on the floor. My dogs don't even like sleeping on the floor.

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

No, never! It's so cruel. What a way for a child to feel unwanted or dirty,not to mention uncomfortable. And floors (even with carpet) are cold in the winter. I'm hearing that Cruella De Vil theme song again:

I wonder if she will remember that she has a "tradition" of homemade hot sticky buns and hot cocoa on Christmas morning. She is proving more and more that those "traditions" were BS. I am leaning more toward the kids doing the tree the best they could with not enough lights and no ornaments. If they did do it then it truly is beautiful.

Anonymous said...

I read a couple of Kate's tweets re treating the sick kids. I can sort of understand the airing out bit, but not turning off the heat. If PA is anything like Ohio this morning, it's bloody cold. Exchanging the stale air in the house could get rid of some of the viruses, assuming that what the kids have is airborne. I remember Coca Cola syrup. My mom used to give that to me for an upset stomach. Gatorade I also understand, because it has electrolytes in it. My doctor prescibes Gatorade or pedialyte for vomiting, but GOLD FISH?? Those things are greasy as all get out. NOT what you want on a touchy tummy. I will never understand the floor assignment. Kate says "comfy bed on the floor". The floor is NEVER comfy, unless she has air mattresses X8. Wonder if she puts herself on the floor when she's sick? I also get the "sick bay". It would make sense to put all the sick kids together in one area. Easier to care for them that way, and also minimizes contact with their well siblings. Overall, though, her treatment plan is not very sensible, especially for a "nurse". She sounds more put out by having to postpone her baking than sympathetic for her miserable kids.

_______________________________________________

It's clear and sunny out, but it's only supposed to be a high of 40 today.

I have never heard of the heat off remedy either. I suppose her thinking is that the virus will be killed off by the colder temps. Below freezing, perhaps. Turning the heat off and letting the house get to 60 degrees as a result will not kill the virus in the house, just make for some chilly children. What a looney tune she is.

The yard sale episode where Kate wanted to get rid of the ballet slipper ornaments because they had dustiles always bothered me. I didn't see it but the descriptions about the girls sad faces was heartbreaking. She didn't give two craps about the fact that the twins late grandfather gave them those ornaments shortly before he died, she was only concerned with the mess they made.

There was an episode of Oprah years ago about serial "returners." These are the people who are constantly returning items to the store months sometimes years after purchase, basically to upgrade to a better model. One woman who appeared on the show was banned from returning anything at most of the local department stores in her area. Her husband got her on the show after she took a watch she had given him their first Christmas after meeting, and returned it for a more expensive one. He was furious. He liked that watch and it had sentimental meaning to him. She did not get this at all and thought he should be glad to have a more expensive watch. After prodding from Oprah and the guest psychcologist, it turned out that this woman did not have much money growing up, and always envied what others had. Plus, she had a father who would come into her her room and throw things away that were lying on her floor. As a coping mechanisism, she learned to not attach much sentiment to anything she owned, because it could be gone if she forgot to put it away. For these people, it's important to them to have control over the stuff. By trading in or throwing out an item for a better one, it is letting the item know 'I control you- you're replaceable, and you won't be staying around very long just because someone likes you' (even thought the item is an inanimate object) I don't remember what the outcome was for the twin's slipper ornaments. But Kate saying they had to go because of the mess was Kate's way of controlling the item by saying 'I'm not going to be inconvenienced by your mess just because you were a gift from Grandpa G. I'm the boss and you're outta here." Also, it's been said that on the show she was constantly throwing things out. Another sign of exerting her control.

Sorry to be so long winded, but we discuss her many incidents of coldness and uncaring so often, I think it would be helpful to surmise how she got this way. What scares me is that she is modeling to the kids to have zero sentimentality and attachment to special items. Do they come home from school and find special things missing? She has eight children and there's no decorations on her tree? I'm sure they have brought things home over the years, is she really saying that she'd rather have a tree with no ornaments on it than display the ones they made with their own little hands? I'm seriously scratching my head over this one. If her 8 kids and mothering them are her brand, then why wouldn't she tweet a pic of her tree covered with their creations? It makes no sense to me......

W
ell then go out Kate and get some if the nanny is there or call Jon or a family member and see if they can pick some up for the kids. This is how divorced parents/family work together. Sheesh.

Stop relying on tweeters to take care of you needs.
Simply ridiculous! No one cares if you were up all night, that's what parents do! Get over yourself! And next time, stock up, nurse.

Canuck said...

Celllphones and sick kids. If those kids have phones the can access the web/twitter, then Kate should be ashamed of herself for keeping that twitter account going. It is truly disgusting and can be accessed by anyone in the world including her girls. Grown women fighting day in and day out, vicious language, rumors of anything and everything including the girls menstrual cycles. If she can't see the potential damage in this and prefers to indulge her addiction to her foul twitter account, she is a disgrace as a mother. And with respect to sick children, why doesn't she ever just say "my poor kids are sick", or "they haven't slept all night", or "I feel so bad for them". Not once. All about her always. No wonder people can't stand her.

I agree. I think Mady and Cara took the helm, with what they had to work with, because Kate did not. It was all about HER hair, PR, and the marathon, which took her away for days. If the kids decorated the tree, my hat goes off to them. for trying. They deserve a nice tree. What happened to the lights she grifted from her hairdresser? Did she ever go home after the hair appointment?

Westcoaster said...

Perhaps instead of tweeting constantly while tending to sick children, which admittedly is no picnic in the park, she could just take a break, quietly in a chair with a cup of her famous cocoa, and get a little energy back. And yes, too bad there's no friend, neighbor or even ex she can call for a gatorade run. i am guessing her marathon wrapping is going to be complicated by having sick kids home this week.

She may not talk to her mother, but my guess is that some of this bizarre parentiing, the sick child on the floor, heat off, etc., comes from the way she was brought up. It certainly does not come from anything she supposedly learned in nursing school or god forbid, a book on parenting.

It makes me really sad to read the tweets from the teens who are sending gifts to thhe G8, the expensive postage from overseas, the non-response from that grifter biotch. She should be asking ALL of them to give to a needier cause, pay it forward K8, you are beyond pathetic in this regard.

Katie Cry-duh said...

Well if she is. 'exhausted' (how predictable) from the events of last night, then I'm sure the kids are well aware that SHE'S miserable. Never mind 2 are sick and the other 6 are cooped up in a cold house with their mom freaking out about Gatorade and goldfish. It's not that hard. Any clear liquid will do...I guess she ain't getting Fiji water for free anymore? Those poor kids should know better than to get sick and piss off mom

WTF Kate! A nurse should know that starving a fever and feeding a cold is not an effective treatment for kids. Its not an effective treatment for anyone! I hope you never have to treat me in an ER somewhere.

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

I don't think that the kids have a cold. They have the stomach bug. I never heard of shutting off the heat as a remedy for throwing up. In this neck of the woods, it's always been gingerale, saltines and chicken noodle soup.

Permanent Name said...

Please don't jump on me here... and I give no credit to kart for anything, but -

Perhaps, kart has the heat off just while the windows are open?

I once in a while like to 'air out the house' in the winter, just to get some fresh air circulating. Like someone said, it is invigorating.

My DH insists we turn off the heat when I do this so we don't heat up the whole outdoors (his words). A more scientific answer might be if the house furnace is on, the heat will be rushing out the windows, preventing cold fresh air from entering (my words) LOL

At any rate, we open windows, turn off furnace and change the sheets on the beds. After an hour or two, we close the windows, turn the furnace back ON and climb into bed with fresh, fresh smelling sheets.

Best feeling in the world! Fresh clean sheets, three quilts and the dogs - snuggle heaven!

Can't help but add here that she is a miserable bitch for making sick kids sleep on the floor. Hasn't she ever heard of spare sheets and waterproof bed pads?

Our son, when he was sick, used to come into our bed with us to be near. We had the waterproof pads, towels, dogs, the quilts, the bucket, the books, the chicken noodle soup, the gatorade and ginger ale 'with' straws!, the humidifier or vaporizer, the Vicks-Vapo-Rub, the low lights and quiet music.

It was a special time. He still remembers (he's in his 30s) how 'nice' it was when he was sick - LOL. He doesn't remember (and I'm glad he doesn't!) that DH sat up all night while he dozed and we looked like hell the next day. It's called a parent's honor and privilege..........

DH laughingly referred to our bed as a M*A*S*H unit.

Purple Skies said...

Kate Gosselin's tree is bare, depressing & cold looking, but it exemplifies so much about her as a mother & how those children are living their lives. No clutter, no messes, no fun. I bet she hung each of the decorations too, as few as there are, because the kids would never do it right. Where are the decorations the children must have made school? Probably in the trash.

Oh, the drama. Now that the reality show has been cancelled she is determined to continue the drama by tweeting. True to form it's all about how exhausted she is. How inconvenient for the children to be sick during the weekend when she is likely to be short of staff to attend to them.

I too like to air out our house particularly during the winter. I turn off the heat and open every window in the house - but never when anyone is ill. A big thank you to her for not going back to nursing. I can't bear to think of her going around a hospital insisting patients get on the floor to be sick.

Too bad Kate hasn't tried to foster a cordial relationship with Jon. If she had, she could call him up and say "Jon, the kids are sick and I was up all night. Could you pick up some Gatorade and come sit with them for a while so I can get some sleep?" I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to spend time with the kids, sick or not. I'm sure most of the care when they were younger and sick fell to him, so he certainly knows how to hold heads and empty barf buckets. Yet another instance of Kate cutting off her nose to spite her face.

This, too, shall pass said...

I guess Khate and the G8 can survive bone chilling temperatures in their home when one or more are sick, but not so much when the power goes out.

Remember Khate tweeting about loss of power weeks ago? You'd think the family was at risk of freezing. Now we read that Khate voluntarily turns of the heat to ward off illness?

Ridding germs from a home with that much square footage seems unlikely. It's large enough to keep symptomatic kids away from non-symptomatic ones. She's hoping they all get "it" and it's done (makes sense), but exposing all to cold temperatures seems cruel.

I have, at times, opened my windows during the winter to air out my home, but my heater remained on. I preferred the hot air escape with any airborne contaminants. Surely air that escapes is replaced by air being drawn in elsewhere with all or most windows open.

Who else believes that cold weather doesn't make a person sick (not including freezing), but to be in cold weather with underlying sickness or when sick can make the person worse? Old wives tale maybe, but I adhere to it.

I don't get the giving of Goldfish. Although a staple kid snack, I'd not give them.

Lastly, I'm thinking the "comfy bed" is in the master bath. Khate tweeted it was all washable. Bedroom carpet can be cleaned, but it is not truly washable. Tiled/linoleum floor can be washed.

My dad used to sacrifice one of his hand-knit wool socks to any of his kids who had congestion. First the Vicks, then the sock around the neck, pinned with one of Mom's kilt pins. He would bring me ginger ale and tell me to sip it slowly.
He and Mom didn't hover, but they sure did make sick kids feel loved, pitied, and they never once complained about the work. They were parents.

I'll bet the slew of sick kids have spent the day in bathtubs - easier to clean up the mess.

Regarding the picture of the Christmas tree: It is things like this that are so baffling about Kate. That is the saddest, sorriest, poorest excuse for a Christmas tree I have ever seen from someone who has enough money to run all over the world in the past few months. It is the epitome of her laziness and unwillingness to please anyone else, but herself. I do not believe for one minute that every retailer avaialable in her area is out of white Christmas tree lights. (she claimed this in a tweet) She just has her FU attitude and if the lights don't work, then they just won't get lights. Hell if she is going to spend any of her precious me time to look for and put up tree lights!

But then why post a picture. She has to know it looks like crap. She is fooling no one with the giant poinsetta and nativity scene. And, why post this picture, but not the awesome Easter Baskets, or the fabulous Thanksgiving dinner, or the full day of cookie baking. It makes no sense.

Kate, your kids deserve a tree with lights. Get off your lazy ass and go buy some lights, you pathetic, poor excuse for a mother.

The pic of the tree I saw DID have lights...had to go way back in the posts to see it. I just don't think that tree is that bad, and I could see some ornaments on it, although not distinguish them.

What I have issues with are the pics of Brooke Burke's Thanksgiving table...I'm a stickler for presentation, and I thought that was PATHETIC. The wine glasses were on the left, the knife and fork were together on the left...it was a MESS. I used to be known for my dinner parties, and they were done right.

Kate Tweet: "Can't tell u how thankful I am for my friend John who brought gatorade/goldfish for my slew of sick kids! His momma taught him well!" 26 minutes ago

She actually depends on sheeples to cater to her needs. How crazy is she? Friend John, I think not. More likely some person she has on standby for when she NEEDS something done. It's shame there are no REAL family or friends to her help her out.

Unless this is Carlas' husband, some poor man was standing outside the compound trying to deliver gatorade and goldfish to a woman he does not even know, and Kate would have nothing to do with him, if she didn't need something. Patholological Kate.

fidosmommy said...

Is this John any relation to Brownlow? I'm surprised she's not the one who rang Kate's doorbell with a delivery. You know she would ride an SST from anywhere to get Kate whatever she needed. Goldfish Crackers? Check! Gatorade? Check! Need any more cereal? No? OK.

This, too, shall pass said...

Maybe John is a local store's delivery boy/man/person?

It's crazy how Khate exagerates. Needs a "truck load" of Goldfish and (misspelled) Gatorade. "Slew of sick kids"? I thought only two are sick?

It's a wonder they're vomiting ~ she's cramming gallons of Gatorade and hundreds of Goldfish into them!

I'd bet all kids are eating G & G. Khate's probably too "exhausted" to serve a decent meal to sustain well ones.

drbutchiewong said...

I hope friend John was reimbursed for the truckload of Gatorade and Goldfish he bought.

whistlingdixiee said...

Does being overly cold/wet cause a cold? No. BUT, if one is already sick(or has a depressed immune system), and then is exposed to overly cold temperatures, the body will have to expend much needed energy to keep warm. A sick child should be using all of their body's energy to FIGHT THE INFECTION! What an IDIOT she is. Instead of "changing the air" while the children are sick, she should be diligent in cleaning all surfaces (doorknobs, sink basins, toilets, etc)with a disinfectant. Mostly, HAND-WASHING is key. Some nurse. Snort. I have seen on an old show of theirs, Kate wiping the children's noses and mouths. Then, she wipes their eyes WITH THE SAME WASHCLOTH(and then moves to the next child with the same cloth)! That is just disgusting and SO unsanitary. Kate is fraud---in all things. That is what is so maddening. Yet, she pretends to be an expert. Now, I want to barf.

She is a Cow said...

JudyK, Kate's tree does have lights on the top, but not on the bottom, where she tried to cover that up with a poinsettia and nativity scene. She tweeted before her ME ME ME Marathon that she ran out of white lights and couldn't find them ANYWHERE. Guess, she has given up and has a 1/2 lit tree.

Like you said, it is not so bad for us average mediocre people. Is her tree mediocre? YES. I didn't think Kate did MEDIOCRE things and I especially didn't think she would post her mediocre tree to the world of twitter.

Pity Party said...

Jason in NY bought her tons of boxes of white lights after she out her barely veiled hint. Guess she went straight to LV from NY, and they never made it home.

This, too, shall pass said...

In regard to taking pictures of a Christmas tree, I've never had a competing object, let alone two, in front of my tree other than family members.

I guess it's the contradictory manner in which Khate handles (or fails to handle) common and everyday things that bother we posters so much. I don't know why I even bother to post about her abnormal behaviors. I will never get my mind around her way of thinking. It's mind boggling.

I do, however, feel better when I read posts here that mirror/parallel my thoughts about Khate's severely lacking common sense, nearly nonexistent parenting skills, and narcissistic behaviors. I'm in a majority!

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

It seems like Kate thinks the Sheeples are TLC. She barks a need and someone or multiples come running immediately.

In this instance, why not call their father, her parents, sisters or local friends. Unless John is Carla's husband, she is really bizarre in asserting her needs to total strangers. Guess the paid nanny and Steve are not there this weekend at her beck and call. So any sheeple will do. I don't think we even know the half of it. She is strangely dependent on others to take care of her needs, now that Jon/TLC is gone and appears to have very little left in way of family support. Remember her "workers" she had over for Thanksgiving dinner?

Marie said...

Is giving sick kids Gatorade and goldfish crackers normal? When I was sick I always got soup, non-salted soda crackers and maybe a ginger ale or juice.

A truck load? My what an imagination! If she is this much into herself an not her kids...then no, I too don't wish her to go back to nursing. Those poor kids and would-be poor patients! Nobody deserves that.

Dallas Lady said...

As someone who (unfortunately) frequently suffers from gastrointestinal upset, sometimes quite severe, I can tell you if you add being cold on top of that, it is MISERABLE.

A few weeks ago, I was suddenly sick in the middle of the night, around 1 am. I spent quite a while in the bathroom. It was 29 degrees that night, our houses aren't insulated very well against the cold around here, and I found out the next day the pilot light had gone out on the furnace, thus no heat. I FROZE. Even after I got into bed and piled blankets on, I was chilled to the bone and couldn't sleep for shivering. Add in the aftershocks of a huge stomach upset, and you have a very miserable person.

I'm sure it's good to air out the house briefly in the winter, but I can tell Kate from experience that stomach upset plus cold is absolutely awful.

I can't even imagine adding sleeping on a thin blanket on the floor with a bucket next to me (reeking of old vomit). Good God. Animals are more caring and maternal. All she's concerned with is how this is inconveniencing her Highness. I bet she's sorely wishing this were Jon's weekend. For that matter, I bet the kids are wishing they were with him, as well!

Thanks...only glanced at the pic...now, I see what everyone is talking about! She really needs to stay off Twitter...she makes a fool of herself on a daily basis with her mania, narcissism, and lies.

Sooverit said...

Talking about sick kids reminds of when my boys were little and they wanted to share a bedroom. We bought used bunk beds for them, and they were thrilled! As I struggled to get the top bunk made up I thought what a nightmare it would be if my son ever threw up in the top bunk during the night. Sure enough, about a week later, he threw up in bed. Ugh! What a mess. But I didn't yell at him or banish him to the laundry room floor. I did what most moms would do - I cleaned it up and made him comfy on the couch in the family room with the remote and a bucket. Thankfully that was our only top-bunk illness.

anger issues kate said...

Gee, for someone who's been crying poor: Kate sure found money for trips(couple of thousand), Xmas tree($24 & up)., Xmas plant($8). That is a very sorry looking Xmas tree. I guess Kate is still so tired from running that race and now the new excuse the kids are sick. Gee, you know Kate maybe if you stay home and be a mom once in a while : like all the time, maybe they would not have ruined your time at home by being sick. And is it not Jon's weekend to have the kids? Kate is a sorry excuse for a nurse. Poor kids!

Nobody Likes a Narcissist (NLAN) said...

Khate is also demonstrating yet again how she is FAR from organized and prepared. In our home, we're not big on Gatorade and only eat Goldfish crackers when feeling well, (and my kids love the plain, original/saltine ones). When they're ill, I have to beg my kids to eat, and I take care to make sure they're drinking. The normal routine for us is chicken soup, toast, crackers (not Goldfish), water, and iced tea. And, like a good mom, I ALWAYS have all of that in, including whatever over the counter meds we might need for colds, fevers, etc.

So, if Khate gives her kids Goldfish crackers and Gatorade when ill, WHY isn't her house always fully stocked with that stuff? It's not as if those are perishable items that you have to run out to get at the last minute.

As far as airing out the house, I always like to do that once everyone is all better again. Once the illness has run through the house and everyone's back to normal, we open all the windows, change all the sheets again, etc. It just feels good to do that; like someone said, the fresh air is invigorating.

I just saw this on Twitter, from this morning:

JeanneKaye Jeanne K
@Kateplusmy8 guessing your baking day will have to be rescheduled?
December 11th, 10:07AM

Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin
@JeanneKaye yes. Scary thing is there's no where to reschedule it to...
December 11th, 10:49AM

Oh, poor Khate, she's just SO busy all week, has such a jam packed schedule, that she can't find ANY time to bake cookies. Twitter has really illustrated for us that Khate simply can NOT handle the normal occurrences and responsibilities of life without major "help" and "support".

Ha, I hope the sitter calls in sick tomorrow!

chefsummer #Leh said...

Steve isn't there to run to the store for her what kind of body gurad is he for god sake?.

Katie Cry-duh said...

Steve must not be around as she's tweeting away about shit she shouldn't be proud of. Trying too hard to look desirable by encouraging pervy guys to flirt with her, putting up and showing off her sad tree, and treating her sick kids like civil war victims. She is so useless and shameless. Can't even get her own Gatorade.

Dallas Lady said...

NLAN, I wondered about the baking: isn't she at home all day alone while the kids are at school? Even if she was doing it to bake with the kids (HAHAHAHAHAHA I CRACK MYSELF UP!!!), couldn't she do the boring part (to kids--making the actual dough) during the school day, then chill the dough to have it ready to roll out and cut out, then bake and decorate after school?

Of course, that's assuming the baking thing is a) even true to begin with and b) something she's doing with the kids but no cameras around (OH MY GOD I'M LAUGHING AGAIN).

If she's just doing holiday baking by herself (hee), why can't she do it during a school day? She doesn't have a job.

I think she might have been planning the baking thing as a way to stay busy today while the kids were home, you know to keep them away from her, her usual MO. But then they had the nerve to get sick, so now she's being forced to pay SOME attention to a FEW of them and bitch about it on twitter.

Cwgirlup75 said...

Times like this make me wonder why the hell Steve stays around. He is a father, after all, so how can he stand by and watch her treat the kids this way? I can't for the life of me understand how anyone with any parental instinct at all can watch her and not say "This isn't right."

JudyK said...

@magjd7 help getting Goldfish&Gatorade 4sickkids?Yes!Don't think u would take 8 kids2grocstore, 2 that r vomiting? Think b4 tweeting pls. 3 minutes ago
________________________________

"Think b4 tweeting pls"--If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. There's my laugh for the day. Nite all.

Cwgirlup75 said...

Now the dumb twit is telling others to "Think b4 tweeting pls." WTF? If that stupid bimbo ever had two thoughts at once, she'd probably hear them rattling together in her empty head.

Dallas Lady said...

And of course she's back to bitch further. They have the nerve to not all get sick at the same time, but you know if they did, she'd bitch non-stop about THAT.

Then someone took her to task for having to get people to get her lights, get her kids Goldfish and Gatorade and she said she can't take 8 kids to the store with two vomiting.

But she misses the forest for the trees: if she actually had friends or family members she hadn't totally alienated, it wouldn't be a problem. Hell, if she hadn't left her husband, she'd have a partner there with her to help. It takes a village, Kate. And you're RAISING a village. Too bad you're so dumb you can't see the value of strong relationships with others.

So she doesn't see when you run everyone off, you are reduced to begging on Twitter to get nearby strangers to bring what you need.

Westcoaster said...

Oh she's simply amazing - telling people to think before tweeting, whining about no time to " reschedule" baking. Here's a tip: don't run to NYC to get your hair fried, that would give you time to bake. Or do what real working moms do, make a batch every evening. The kids will be out of school soon and will be home all day, bake then. Or hell, since you are probably planning a runaway trip before Xmas, let the sitter do the baking, she probably does anyway. Maybe your tweeny sheeple will drop cookie plates at your driveway, oh she makes me tired.
Need to go think about my own baking.

url said...

Kart is such a drama queen. By now, she should be prepared for multiple kids being sick and it should be no big deal. Everything turns into a major disaster.

Her holiday baking isn't done. Send out a sheeple alert for some homebaked goods.

Sheeple also need to send ornaments or Martha Stewart to decorate her Christmas tree. She could have at least put fake snow or a white table runner under the nativity scene. Better yet, put it under the tree.

@BHappyLoveLaugh lol just had that convo w Mady who is scared she'll get sick.I sd 'keep saying u will& u will.Say I refuse'&likely u won't!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Nice work, Mommy Dearest. So if Mady gets sick from a CONTAGIOUS illness two of your kids already have, IT'S HER FAULT?

Way to help your distressed kid feel good, Mom of the Year. Also, nice nursing skills. Did you learn in your two year nursing course that MIND CONTROL keeps VIRUSES away?

How can anyone with a nursing license be this ignorant? And this lacking in common sense and compassion?

Goldfish?? Really?? Chemical-laden, artificially-flavored crackers in your ORGANIC home for your SICK kids to eat?

Being this stupid should be a crime. Those poor kids.

Mel said...

So.....who's taking care of the chickens???? Exhausted her or the sick kids?

sick, sick woman said...

And WTF s iwith NOT having shelf-stable supplies for sick kids in a house with eight children?????

She's still whining about how tired she is. No sympathy for the kids, just tweeting away to strangers while the kids vomit in an unheated house with windows open in 36 degree weather.

Out And About In Berks County PA said...

She just has her FU attitude and if the lights don't work, then they just won't get lights. Hell if she is going to spend any of her precious me time to look for and put up tree lights!


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

There are quite a few Christmas decorating services in the area. You tell them what you want and they do it. They bring the tree, set up the tree, bring the lights, decorate it, take it down and store the lights for you. I've used them when we entertained for corporate dinners. They did everything, setting up the trees, decorating outside, even making the garlands and arranging centerpieces. I couldn't have done it without them, but then again, I don't profess to be a Supermom, whining on Twitter that I have so much to do and no help. When I need help, I get help.

With Kate's money, she could well afford this. She just wants to complain about how difficult it is to do everything. Baloney.

Annie2 said...

"@BHappyLoveLaugh lol just had that convo w Mady who is scared she'll get sick.I sd 'keep saying u will& u will.Say I refuse'&likely u won't!"

How about giving her practical advice like be sure to not touch your face, nose or eyes. Make sure you wash your hands frequently and take the time to remind her and the rest of the kids how to properly wash their hands. You could give the twins a spray bottle with 10% bleach in it and ask them to spray the door knobs in the house twice a day. These simple actions will help reduce the spread of the virus. She can also assign one bathroom to the sick kids and one to the healthy ones. The virus is spread through the oral fecal rout. She is lucky to have enough bathrooms to make this work.

Anonymous said...

She will likely have to keep a few of the children home on Monday which will spoil her plan for her mani and pedi. Darn kids, spoiling all her fun. She can't be seen out and about after all this drama, the sitter will have to take the other kids to the bus stop while she "cares"(?) for the others.

Nobody Likes a Narcissist (NLAN) said...

I was just wondering if the kids had gotten sick like this right before Khate was scheduled to leave for NYC and then Las Vegas, do you think she'd been griping about it on Twitter? I bet she'd be totally silent, otherwise it would look pretty bad to leave a bunch of sicks kids home alone all week with a sitter. On the other hand, she might just be too damn stupid to realize that and would just complain about their illness anyway.

Hey Khate - school age kids get sick all the time. Stomach viruses, the flu, colds, etc. You have EIGHT, count them eight, so you think you would be used to it and PREPARED by now. You wanted to be a "mother", so there you have it. Just STFU - YOU GET WHAT YOU GERT AND YOU DON'T GET UPSET!

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

I think it's hilarious that she is touted as being soooooo organized, but when the fire gets turned up, she shows the world just how UNORGANIZED and frazzled she is. Some supermom.
She freaks out and spazzes over the littlest things. She simply cannot cope well with life. No wonder she needs a handler. She is most certainly a VERY dependent person and needy person.


I used to use Gatorade as a rehydrating drink, until I got sick from Lyme and went to see the best doctor in the country for it, and learned just how awful and unhealthy it really is. I was sad when he forbade me from drinking it and said it is pure garbage for your health. The only thing good about it is it tastes better than water so you drink more fluids. But it's loaded with high fructose corn syrup and chemicals. Strange that Kate is soooooo organic but gives them crap when sick.

Bibby said...

I wonder.....

What would she have done if the kids got sick LAST week when she was busy marathoning? Would she have cancelled the marat......

hahahahahahaha

Those kids would've been puking with the nanny. Kate would've still hightailed it out of town. She's probably pissed they chose to get sick now and not last week when someone else would've had to deal with it.

Dallas Lady said...

Insulting Jon is second nature to her now. She's GLAD they got sick on her weekend (SURE, KATE! AND I'M THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND!) because only she knows how to care for them (by putting them on a floor with a bucket, making the house cold, tweeting away to bitch about them, and begging for crackers and Gatorade--yeah Kate, I think they'd have been better off with Jon).

Anonymous said...

Now she is reminiscing about the marathon last week at this time. I wonder if she is expecting another medal for the drama of this weekend.

Katie Cry-duh said...

Re: Gatorade and goldfish. WTF? Water, 7up,, plain toast work too. She doesn't have any of this shit at home? And if she's that irresponsible and disorganized, why can't she get off her lazy square ass and run to the convenience store or Walgreens nearby for ten minutes? She has no problem leaving them unattended in the van for 20 minutes and I'd bet she leaves them alone when running. I don't believe for a second that she never leaves those kids alone for short periods. It's all about the drama and chaos for her. Catastrophize things and get some poor schlub to help her out. Who thinks she offered to pay her "friend" John for the truckload of Gatorade and goldfish? And if the kids have the stomach bug that's going around, it is VERY contagious, and the grinch and the rest of the kids stand a good chance of getting ill. She just needs to hang in there till tomorrow am and her babysitter will get stuck with them. One last rant, why does she have to tweet about their disgusting bodily mishaps anyway? It's gross and an invasion of their privacy

Teresa said...

Didn't she leave the flu ridden tups with Jodi when she went to LA for Jon's hair plugs? And wasn't Jodi's kids sick at the time too?

Katie Cry-duh said...

Oh poor Kate, no one gives a crap about the marathon anymore...except that they think you didn't run it. Does she think reminiscing will make people fall over her? Do you think actors who won an academy award tweet about how great it was to win a week later? Idiot.

Beth said...

Any doctor will tell you that you don't give a child anything but liquids for the first 24 hours. After that, children should eat a BRAT diet. (Bananas, rice applesauce and toast) The woman is an idiot.

Hey Kreider, you tweeted that you had to be helped across the finish line at the not-a-marathon. Think before YOU tweet. Is she drunk already attacking people on twitter?

fidosmommy said...

Perhaps Kate's next suggestion will be that the school open all its windows and turn off the heat to air out all the germs so this won't happen to her again.

Cwgirlup75 said...

Ok, I call serious BS on her latest tweet. She is saying that Ashley had Thanksgiving at her house. After the whole RV fiasco, I really felt like Ashley was DONE with Kate.

she just tweeted that Ashley was there for Thanksgiving. If that is true, Ashley is as big a liar as her and into the fake drama too. Imagine all that fakery on the most realest of reality shows ever!

@kateplusmy8 I bet the kids got sick while at Jon's house. :( Poor parenting.

Now that is just messed up! I cant believe someone would blame Jon for the kids getting sick.

Kates response

@buddycharlie1 nope! Flu bug is never result of poor parenting... Just happens. We all know that!

Why cant she defend her husband and also say that he is not a bad parent. We all know that she wont because she has a grudge against him.

fidosmommy said...

One fan is thanking Kate for the tip on how to study for a test. Cram. It sounds like it was
one of her teaching points at the PSU talk, because this fan is a PSU student who took Kate's suggestion and now has a "trail of cards". ????

PJ's momma said...

Really, shouldn't it be ASHLEY saying she had a great time, and not Kate? Maybe she went with her mom for the sake of the kids and Kate uses that to make it seem like all is well. And maybe it is - but Ashley should be able to speak for herself, IMO.

fidosmommy said...

It's possible the entire Turner family went, and Ashley didn't want Thanksgiving by herself away from her family. She didn't have to interact with Kate much, what with 8 kids she adores around her. She probably got up from the table and played with them, not having to make small talk with Kate. So yes, Ashley could very well have been there, had a GR8 time and never passed the time of day with Kate besides a polite hello and please pass the gravy, thanks.

I don't believe Ashley would ruin a holiday for her family just because she wasn't friends with the hostess any longer. Carla and Kate are friends. Ashley is mature enough to get that.

Gift of grab said...

FYI, buddycharlie1 appears to be baiting/snarking on Kate. Very subtly. Kate hasn't picked up on it yet. Read through all of his/her tweets.

Cwgirlup75 said...

OK, I wasn't very clear in my last message. What I meant was, I don't think there is any way that Ashley would spend time with Kate. If she was there with her family, I agree that she probably played with the kids and spent as little time as possible with Kate.

PJ's momma, you're missing something here. Kate's in charge, and she gets to decide what happened. Just Kate. If Kate said that Ashley had a great time, that's the truth, from the truthiest of truth-tellers. Nobody needs to ask anybody else.

I don't think like a grifter, so it took me a while to get that.

"for signs/symptoms of nausea and vomiting, place patient on floor with bucket, place call button out of reach"

You forgot: Tweet every 2-4 times an hour to remind hospital staff how exhausted you are caring for this sick patient w/ emphasis (along with exclamation points!!!!) that you are the mother of 2 sets of multiples of 8 kids...

How does that make Ashley a liar? Why couldn't Ashley be there for Thanksgiving? Maybe the kids wanted to see her. They had a falling out and perhaps they resolved it (at least Kate thinks they did). It certainly appeared that Ashley's anger during the RV trip was not just drama.

Nobody Likes a Narcissist (NLAN) said...

There's a crazy new sheeple Twitter account. Most of Khate's devoted six sheeple keep making up new accounts. They use their fake accounts to swear at and trash the "haters", while they sweet talk Khate from their original account.

So, this one looks like one of the old regulars, just based on what she's been tweeting and who she's been going after. Note the use of "sock" - that's used by the sheeple often. It's for "sock puppet" account, which is making up another account/name to post somewhere. THEY do that all the time, but accuse the "haters" of doing it. Also, a few of them are completely obsessed with "outing" the "haters". They want to find out who they are and post their info. Apparently, it's all the same stuff that's been going on in the Khate fan blog world for years.

This sheeple claims to have info on the tweeting "haters". I know, it's too insane to even make this crap up. So, idiot Khate actually responded to her tonight! Khate wants the sheeple to email her the "haters" names and numbers. OMG, it's like DUMB & DUMBER over on Twitter!

I too thought Kate wanting the "socks"
information was stupid. What does she think she's going to do? Confront each hater personally? Banish them from the Internet?

That is a pitiful tree. It just shows Kate has no sentimentality about ornaments. I'm 39, and my mother puts some of my old childhood ornaments and school projects on the tree. I was an only child so my parents didn't have it as hard as poor Kate with 8 count em 8 kids!

ncgirl (108) - What's funny is I saw a few sheeple tweeted pics of their Christmas trees tonight and they were just lovely, more like what we'd expect to see.

Red Sky At Night (109) - Yes, that new account is a weird one, even more strange than the regular sheeple tweets. So, how dumb is Khate to tweet her back and ask her to email?

Also, I notice that Khate keeps telling people "email me on my website." I guess she really wants the hits on her site, because it would be easier for her to just tweet them her email address (the one that's on her website).

When one of these crazed sheeple go to far and cause some real harm to someone (get them fired, cause them to lose a possible job because of all the crazy shit that is posted about them under their real name by the sheeple etc) and that person files a lawsuit against the crazed sheeple AND Kate (who will, of course, have much deeper pockets) dimbulb Kate just lost all her plausible deniablity about knowing what her crazy fans are doing in her name.

Steve really needs to get her off twitter to save her from herself. Though I admit the entertainment value is pretty priceless for us.

Just Me said...

Btw, speaking of "socks", that account that posted about the names/phone number admitted to having at least 22 twitter accounts to support Kate.

She also suggested others do the same thing. So it's just fine and dandy for Kate's fans to be double digit socks, but it's not ok for haters?

Red Sky At Night said...

Red Sky At Night (109) - Yes, that new account is a weird one, even more strange than the regular sheeple tweets. So, how dumb is Khate to tweet her back and ask her to email?

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

I agree. Strange sheeple. Says she just moved into the neighborhood, realtor told her that Kate lives nearby, and she goes off on a protecting frenzy. If she's such a die-hard sheeple, she would have known exactly where Kate lives and this wouldn't have been a revelation by a realtor. She already would have known, as would any stalker sheeple (of which she is).

Why does Kate attract these nutcases? They all appear to be of low intelligence, a few bricks short of a load, and yet gravitate toward Kate. What's surprising is that Kate responds. She can't see through this? Wouldn't you think that the red flags would have come out with Brownose?

Is this the only fan base she has left?

+++++++++++++++++++++=

Absolutely. I think everyone said from the very beginning that her Twitter account would be her downfall. She needs to close it right now before the damage done is irreversible. Something is going to happen and Kate isn't going to come out smelling like the proverbial rose. This has gone on long enough.

a sock by any other name said...

I don't believe that is a sheeple. I think it is a non-fan who is playing Kate and her fans, and Kate has been sucked in by her over the top praise.

Do you really think a sheeple would admit to having 22 accounts? That tweet was sent to someone who isn't even a Kate fan. She just tweeted Kate a link to a matchmaking site.

Red Sky At Night said...

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

You might be right, but it's hard to know what they would admit to doing. They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. You have to consider the source. I've seen sheeple admit to stranger things than that.

Regardless if it were sheeple or hater, Kate needs to put an end to this tweeting nonsense. Nothing good can come of it, and I just don't understand that nobody has been able to convince her of that. She's just going to keep digging herself in deeper.

Westcoaster said...

Nobody can convince her to stop because there simply is nobody in her life that cares enough, and whatever she has going with Steve is twisted, he's not getting paid enough to care about Twitter. Pretty simple, she'll just have to implode on her own.

neighbor2k8 Lovek8 has "socks" T/P numbers? Toilet Paper numbers??? What, the quality control number on the wrapper? Or is that the UPC code?

And Kate's supposed to do what with those? She doesn't even respond to her fans unless they beg her to acknowledge gifts they've sent to her, and now she's supposed to track down her critics using a "T/P number?

Riiiiiight.

Pity Party said...

It is very likely that Ashley was at TG along with her mom. In my family, we don't generally argue - we may disagree but we don't argue. But some families do. My former in-laws do it all the time and when I first went into the family, I witnessed a huge argument between my DH and his sister, where horrible things were said. I thought oh that's so sad now they have lost one another forever. About a week later it was as though nothing had happened. Lesson learned from that - don't get in it (which I didn't as that is something I don't do), but made mental note to myself - act as though it is not real because while it may be real at the moment it is not earth shattering.

she just tweeted that Ashley was there for Thanksgiving. If that is true, Ashley is as big a liar as her and into the fake drama too. Imagine all that fakery on the most realest of reality shows ever!



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

How does that make Ashley a liar? Why couldn't Ashley be there for Thanksgiving? Maybe the kids wanted to see her. They had a falling out and perhaps they resolved it (at least Kate thinks they did). It certainly appeared that Ashley's anger during the RV trip was not just drama.

My comments:
It is MY opinion that when you say you can't take someone and their attitude anymore and you KNOW that person cannot/will not EVER change, you don't resolve a situation that was years in the making. Whether Carla and kate are friends or not, it is completely unfair of Carla to put her 'daughter' in the position of chosing to go along for Thanksgiving or be alone. But maybe more importantly, WHO has the inside info that Carla was even there? Her Royal Heiness didn't say so. And we all know that with the personality of the hostess, a guest would not be allowed to ignore her and lavish a lot of attention on the kids. The center of attention would have to be on her, that's what she 'needs' to function.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I don't think that makes Ashley any kind of liar, or into the fake drama. Ashley may just be very young. It may take her years to break from Kate completely, especially if her mother does not.

Dealing with a narcissist isn't easy, and it's even harder if you are young and good-hearted.

I'd also be very selective about what to believe as far as what Kate writes. That she trapped Ashley into coming to Thanksgiving doesn't mean anything more than that, even if Kate does shout it in all capital letters.

Ashley may have been at Thanksgiving for a whole bunch of reasons other than "enjoying" the "pleasure" of Kate's company. As someone else said, it may have been Kate's for Thanksgiving, or not having Thanksgiving with her own family at all.

Ashley has done a far better job of respecting those children than their mother ever did. I'd cut her a little slack, at least.

Putting up with the bad to get the good said...

Re: Ashley being at Kate's for Thanksgiving ...maybe she endured Kate so that she could finally spend some time with the kids.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

127- I agree - Ashley probably wanted to see the kids. And avoided Kate as much as possible.

128- LOL. Kate does realize as a Supermom that while she is away for days on end, that the babysitter soley manages to take care of all 8/count 'em 8 kids, even when they are sick. Kate has become so accustomed to everyone handling things for her, that she seems to get very upset at the slightest change of plans. Really, what mother has that luxury. She is not employed right now other than a weekly blog, and will have two kids home with her... Everything seems to be TOO much for her - get a clue Kate- this is life.

Pity Party said...

I think that person with 22 accounts was a kid - teaching another kid how to get a retweet. she had the perfect plan - wise beyond her years as far as dealing with KT is concerned. Kids like bragging rights you know. What better than to tell all your friends a pseudo-celebrity is your tweet buddy.

Katie Cry-duh said...

Part time weekday helper/SOS person? Kinda like Mr Kiwi House man? Or is it more like your get-there-at-5am-so-you-can-sleep-in-pack-lunches-get-them-to-the-bus-come-back-and-clean-up-the-barf-you've-left-for-her-as-you-stare-at-yourself-in-mirror-underpaid-does-NOT-love-you person? Betcha she's not even sick; just cannot bear to walk into the shitstorm that is the orphanage. No paycheck would be worth that, especially being part time and an SOS person (translation: no benefits)

Paula said...

Pediatricians actually prefer that you do not give sick children Gatorade due to the high sugar content. Pedialyte is what I was always advised to give. Of course, my mother would give us room-termperature Ginger Ale and Soda Crackers which always seemed to relieve our nauseous stomachs.

Winsomeone said...

Yesterday, Kate couldn't leave the house due to two sick kids, so "John" had to bring in "sick" supplies. Today, she still has two home sick, and her helper is sick, so what I want to know, is how she took the rest of the kids to the bus stop?

She's such a c word said...

Winsomeone 133, I was wondering the same thing.

Pity Party said...

Homemade Pedialyte substitute:

2 quarts water
1 teaspoon baking soda
7 teaspoons sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) packet unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt substitute (optional)
Directions:
1Mix all together well and store in the fridge for no more than 3 days.2Make ice cubes or popsicles with this.

I got this from the web, but my doctor gives out one similar.

Gosselin8ComeFirst said...

131- You forgot the "part-time weekday SOS helper" needs to wrap gifts.

Honestly, what does Kate do all day other than run (from her duties?)

Annie2 said...

My friend who is a doctor actually suggests drinking chicken broth when vomiting. You get beneficial electrolytes and amino acids. Just take a small sip every 5 min. Some of the liquid will get absorbed into the body even if you vomit some of it up.

The oral rehydration solution that Pity Party posted about is also a great alternative if you dont have chicken soup or Pedialyte on hand.

Dallas Lady said...

Why doesn't she get "John" who delivered the truck load of Gatorade and Goldfish to deliver her a babysitter-type-person?

God knows she doesn't have any family or non-paid friends she can rely on.

As for getting the kids to the bus stop, that's easy: put them all in the big blue bus, make the pukers lie on the floor of the bus with buckets, threaten them under penalty of severeness NOT to puke or at least not to miss the bucket, then drive to the bus stop like a bat outta hell with ALL the windows open so as to freeze the illness right out of all of them.

Then she got home, ordered the two sickies back onto the floor, bitched some more about not having a babysitter, and went to bed with her phone to tweet and nap.

It's a hard life! LOL.

Katie Cry-duh said...

Winsomeone, Katie will somehow find the wherewithal to dump six of her kids at the bus stop so they can go to school and infect a bunch of people. Don't worry. Now that it's convenient for her, she will gladly leave those 2 sick kids at home alone

Just started reading. Sorry if my comment has been said.

She seams so stressed. Could this be the time everyone predicted. She'll run her sheeple off with rude comments to them, due to stress? Will the sheeple forgive her because "she's stressed with sick kids"? That's my bet.

We have all seen it happen. The RV trip? Sarah Palin? She said, HER OWN WORDS SHEEPLE, she wishes she could give a kind word.

Everyone has tremendous stress at one time or a nother in life. Do you rant and rave at those who are trying to help you? She wants everyone to understand her stress. I need a nap, this is hard. YES it is.

Can you imagine the sadness and guilt the kids feel? They don't want to stress their mommy, they just want to be held and loved by her, like you do when your sick kate's fans.

How horrible to know and hear her complints everytime they have to puke. Can you imagine the panic in their little hearts when they feel that urge? My heart breaks for them. She showed the world her attitude whe they got sick on the show.

I have to stop. It hurts to much to see it in my minds eye.

p.s. sorry for spelling issue.

Let's see... honesty? Kate has lied over and over about her boobs and doing it all alone. Spunk? That would be Sarah Palin, you know, the one who actually camped overnight instead of pissing, moaning and leaving. Nurse? Kate thinks what you do it mediocre. How does that not insult? She would shovel shit for the camera to avoid nursing.

Devil's Advocate said...

What exactly is wrong with the Christmas tree? I've seen umpteen pictures of friends' trees on my Facebook recently and in most of them, you can't really see the ornaments because the lights "outshine" them. But they're still there, just as they are on Kate's tree. The tree looks a little "untamed" but it's possible they got it from their property and/or isn't an over-pruned commercially grown tree, or a fake one.

Regarding sick children on the living room floor. Really. They are kids. Kids like "camping out". If she has sleeping pads or a few layers of blankets under them, I'm sure it is FINE. They can watch TV, be near the bathroom, be near her. Better than making them stay in their rooms, imo. This isn't another laundry-room-floor-gate.

And regarding what she feeds them when they are sick: everyone has a different thing that works for their family. I don't see anything wrong with her choices; or at least nothing more wrong with them than some of the other things I have seen posted here (i.e. flat coke. the reason pop is suggested for upset stomachs is because of the carbonation.) To each his own.

143 and 144, you're so right. Kate lies like a rug, even about things that don't matter. She whines, refuses to participate and complains endlessly to get attention. Not only is she not a nurse, she considers nursing to be "mediocre".

RobinRN6 has a few screws loose if he (she?) thinks Kate is worth admiring, especially if these are the reasons.

Fake boobs, fake tans, hooker heels and the world's worst parenting, on the other hand, are all things Kate is really good at. You could say that Kate excels at fake, in fact. If that's your thing, Kate's your woman.

The floor is fine as long as it's not a noisy, dark room like Kate did with Joel in the laundry room. But truly, I think it's odd to stick a sick kid on any floor. If you're sick, you should be in bed. Give the kid a baby monitor or something similar and tell them to buzz you if they need something. I don't think kids mind a hard floor as an adult would, but it's not where a sick child should be.
Don't get the hullaballoo about Kate giving Gatorade and Goldfish. It's got sugar, so what? I always got ginger ale as a kid and it wasn't diet! As for the crackers, it's totally appropriate to give kids a cracker of some sort and we all know by now that the kids do not eat all organic, despite Kate's protestations.
Kate retweeting every complimentary, gushing compliment that these sycophants give her read desperate. She constantly needs validation and that's sad.

JudyK said...

An excerpt from Kate's newest CC blog--this part has me ready to HURL--her lies are outrageous, and, of course, she does all the work and all the clean-up all by herself while the children play happily--really, you need to read the entire piece of fiction:

"Following our mass gift opening, I know that once again this year I’ll sit on the floor for 4+ hours unpacking toys and installing batteries. I am not exaggerating! My ‘hiney’ is sore by the time the last toy has been freed from its packaging prison. That is the biggest dread of Christmas with 8 kids… and the trash that fills the entire entryway of our house. For this reason, on post-Christmas trash day, I always place containers of baked goods out by the trashcans for our ever kind and helpful trash men.

Each year following the gift opening marathon, and the hours of clean up wage on for me, the kids run off playing happily with all their new stuff and I clean up alone in peace and quiet."

Tucker's Mom said...

Dear lawd, Kate's pissing and moaning about dealing with her kids' presents is disgusting. First, she can afford to buy a boatload of presents and second, that trash fills the foyer in her massive mansion. Two things she should thank the good Lord for.
So many today have neither and would cry tears of joy to have her problems.

dumber than hammers said...

Well, let's see, Devil's Advocate... 146. What's wrong with the tree?

- Kate whined for lights until a bunch of people provided them to her. Then she took a picture of a tree that not only doesn't seem to have lights on the bottom third, but has two things in front of it that look intentionally placed to hide the missing lights.

- In spite of milking her alleged faith, and innocent believers, into funding her ridiculous lifestyle through "love offerings" in churches across the country, Kate doesn't appear to have any commitment to her alleged faith or to goodly Christian works. Yet she uses a creche scene, clumsily placed where most people would not put one, in front of the tree, both to hide the missing lights. She is using a Christian symbol to further her misrepresentation.

Sick children on the living room floor?

- Everything she's tweeted isn't about the children's comfort, it's about how exhausted and stressed she is. Why are you assuming that the children are tucked on comfortable mats, on carpeting, cuddled up and cozy? Past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior, and all Kate is focused on is her own pain. There's no reason to assume she's made those kids comfortable.

- "Kids like camping out". Really? Kids like "camping out" when they are vomiting? You must have some really hardy kids.

- Kate wrote, on a 36 degree day, that she had opened the windows and turned the heat off to prevent the spread of the virus. You're seven years old and puking your guts out from the floor your mother has made you lie on. How does all that frigid air sound to you?

What's wrong with what she's feeding them when sick?

- Kate lies and says she feeds the children organic food, but, lo and behold, when they're sick, she feeds them the most chemical crap she can find.

- Not only does she feed them chemical crap, but she doesn't even follow standard nursing guidelines for vomiting. Fluids in small amounts are recommended - not fake "sports drinks" like Gatorade. Pedilyte is a better choice for small children; a nurse should know that. Then, you've heard of BRAT? Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. Unfortunately, bananas have to be unpeeled, rice made, applesauce put in a dish, and toast prepared. Much easier to throw goldfish crackers at the children.

So, Devil, what's wrong with her choices? They all reflect on her (lack of) credibility in every possible area.

As for you, troll, we've seen you before. If no one knew who Kate was, and there weren't years of videotapes proving what an insensitive, unkind, unfeeling, self-absorbed parent she is, then maybe your disingenuous "devil's advocacy" might stand a chance. But it's quite obvious who she is, and she's still proving it every day. That's what's wrong with everything you've listed.

Regarding the picture of the Christmas tree: It is things like this that are so baffling about Kate. That is the saddest, sorriest, poorest excuse for a Christmas tree I have ever seen from someone who has enough money to run all over the world in the past few months. It is the epitome of her laziness and unwillingness to please anyone else, but herself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm baffled about why anyone cares about someone else's Christmas tree. Was she supposed to please you? If the tree makes her happy and her kids happy, what difference does it make what one other person on the planet thinks of it?

I wanted to bring this comment over from the first page of this post. I think we are seeing the beginning of the end and are almost to the halfway mark. There was no media tour after the Las Vegas Marathon, except by the twit via twitter. No one is trying to book her for interviews, much less a TV series, and her fan base is down to a few die hard sheeple. May it all end quietly.

Devil's Advocate said...

dumber than hammers - I'm not sure what name you normally post under, but we've also seen you before. In my opinion, you are condescending and sarcastic to the point of nastiness. Every time someone posts something here that questions the need to criticize every single thing Kate does - whether or not is even worthy of criticism - you are right there to pound that person's opinion into the ground and be just as nasty to her as you are about Kate.

I stand firm by the opinion that there is good in everyone, and that just because Kate has many shortcomings, it doesn't mean that she is a failure at everything she does, nor does she deserve to be cricized for something as inconsequential as a tree you don't find attractive, feeding her children goldfish crackers and Gatorade, having them camp on the living room floor when they are sick, or any of the dozens of other things you all criticize her for almost every day.

The twit's tweets said...

Don't worry anyone...this new tweetie of Kate's doesn't have any info about anyone (other than what's been outed long ago on various blogs - if that). Actually this is a long time over zealous fan who has opened a brand new twitter account (sock puppet) to this time pretend to have a husband and to have moved near Kate. Funny thing is ...Kate probably believes her. HA

As for why Kate seems to have taken to her so readily? Heck, she's offering Kate freebies! She says her hubby works for Hershey and she has goodies for the kids and horses for them to ride so of course Kate wants to be buddies with her. lmao

How does the garbage crew tell these "containers of baked goods" from the rest of the household garbage? Yeah, as if a garbage truck crew is going to eat crap put out with the trash.

Kate will say anything she thinks will make her look like the person she isn't. The surprising thing is that she is so incredibly bad at figuring out how to make herself look good. She just doesn't have a clue about how kind, thoughtful, loving people behave. Not a clue.

If Kate really appreciated what the trash people do, she should give them gift certificates. I give mine gc's to McDonalds. She could also arrange for a bulk pick up of all of her trash and pay for it instead of burdening the system and expecting special treatment because she has 8 kids.

I cant help but think of the muscle aches and joint discomfort that even children get during a flu. The headache, the dizzies, the feeling of your head being in a bag, the cramps in your stomach and perhaps even pain in your stomach. So while the rest of the world cuddles up with a hot water bottle or heating pad, Kate punishes her little children by shutting off the heat and opening windows to increase their chills and muscle aches, making them lay on the floor so the cold really seeps into the bones there.

Sure fire way of making sure they keep their flu complaints to themselves in the future, better to suffer in silence than run the risk that Mother might try to "help" you again.

What's next Kate? Ice water enemas?

And for the record, I certainly agree with one or two mintues of a window open to air out a sick room, in this cold that is all you need.

Kate will never, never apologize for that "mediocre" comment. She doesn't want a life like most people and has no respect for hard working, wonderful, middle class folks. She has believed her own hype for years. She wants to keep her kids and herself (mostly) in the "Hollywood" way. She's a "stah", don't we know? Horrible, horrible, really.

So my mind-boggle of this morning has nothing to do with K8 (tho I am not surprised that the help has called in sick), but more that there are sheeple out there who actually spend time settting up fake twitter accounts (one daily apparently), to support their fan obsession. This is scary sick stuff and the exchange with the faux new neighbor about jobs, gifts, horses, wow. At least someone did tweet the challenge about donating to the less fortunate, but the hard core sheeple would never see that, they are obsessed with K8 and the kids - again scary sick stuff.

And of course Ashley woukd come with her family for a holiday, that's part of the relationship. The mature thing is to rise above the summer issue, but I doubt she's ever going to work for K8 again. And K8's shouting in caps about it is just ludicrous, just another mememe moment for her.

Could someone tweet to the View or the Talk about having a possible topic on celebrities who grift for gifts or 'emergency/necessary' from strangers on Twitter as the Holiday season is coming up? I do not have Twitter. I've always wonder why none of the hosts have brought this up as Kate is still accepting xmas gifts on Twitter! I'm sure there are other celebrities doing this but Kate is the top grifter I know out there. I would love to hear their response on this and/or how they would explain to their children about gifts if they actually have ever accepted one. I would really love it if a host could asked her directly this question! I personally find it so very tacky to receive gifts in this manner. It just seems so wrong. These people really need to re-shuffle the focus at home, on themselves and around them that have real needs rather than a far-away former reality TV family that has no real connection to themselves.

nj, you probably have nothing to fear from someone who doesn't even know what the protocol numbers are called.

Some blog administrators can see TCP/IP numbers from people who comment on their blogs, but not from Twitter accounts. When a commenter is banned, it is banning the IP address that prevents future comments from going through. Some admins see the address, others just click on an icon, and ban without ever seeing the actual address.

It sounds as if neighbor2k8 Lovek8 is referring to a collection of data taken from one of the "fan" blogs (IP numbers, names, any other identifying information they found) and is offering it to Kate.

There was some talk quite a while ago indicating that some people thought that one of more those blog sites were making lists of information about commenters they didn't like.

If people aren't careful about personal information, they could get unwanted contact, those phone calls to employers, etc., that were mentioned. For instance, someone commenting using a name that tied to a Facebook account with a lot of personal information on it is serving up a huge amount of detail for this kind of "fan" list.

Getting specific addresses and contact information using an IP address isn't much harder, but the amount of information someone gets that way is much more limited.

However, it's very unlikely that anything will happen to anyone's computer. That requires a skill set that is probably higher than one the average ("mediocre") fan has.

I have no idea what Kate thinks she's going to do with that list. Track down every single IP address? Every commenter who doesn't like Kate? Contact the owners and scream at them? Why? It's not illegal to express an opinion, so there's no way to stop people from commenting, or to prosecute them for doing so.

Is Kate going to hire a hacker to destroy the computers of her "haters"? Well, sure, she could, but let's just say that it's a really far-fetched scenario, and what the hacker would do is illegal, and could land both hacker and Kate in jail.

If you are a "friend" or family member of Kate, and she sees your information on this list, you can probably expect some screeching in your future, if she even bothers to look at the data. But if you know Kate personally, you probably expect some screeching anyway.

This is all a good reminder to keep personal stuff off the Internet. That advice is just as important for all of us "mediocre" folk as it is for Kate. Don't talk about your town, your life, your kids, your husband and so on in any way that can identify you, even if you love Facebook.

Also, don't post comments on hostile blogs unless you have masked ownership of your computer, or have top-grade security. Or both.

A thought that popped into my head while reading her CC blog: On Christmas morning, who will have put Christmas gifts under the tree for Kate? She has 8 kids but they are too young to go out and purchase gifts for her. She has no husband to coordinate gifts from the kids to her. She has no family to do this either.

Part of the fun in our family Christmas is to take turns and watch each member open a gift and say who it is from.

Do you think that the only gifts with a "To: Kate" on them are the ones placed there by Kate herself? Or does she somehow "mastermind" the kids gifts to her?? Does she act surprised when she opens them??

That must be a sad, pathetic and lonely life.

Regarding the picture of the Christmas tree: It is things like this that are so baffling about Kate. That is the saddest, sorriest, poorest excuse for a Christmas tree I have ever seen from someone who has enough money to run all over the world in the past few months. It is the epitome of her laziness and unwillingness to please anyone else, but herself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm baffled about why anyone cares about someone else's Christmas tree. Was she supposed to please you? If the tree makes her happy and her kids happy, what difference does it make what one other person on the planet thinks of it?
___________________________________

Well, It's Just a Tree......

My point was not so much the tree, but more about her mantra of organization and perfection that is baffling. In my opinion, Kate should not post pictures of her MEDIOCRE tree if she doesn't want people to comment on it, especially when she claims to be the all superior, supermom of the century.

Believe me, I am sure that Kate could give two ___ about what I think of her Christmas tree and I don't think she lives to "please" anyone but herself. I don't care if she wants to have a 1/2 lit tree either. It is a testament to her laziness. A daily reminder that running off to Vegas for her me time was more important than finishing the tree she promised to finish for the kids. (those were her words on twitter)
I also don't care that you are baffled by my comments...... Kate?

I read the CC blog at Preesi. If only KT could be a fraction of the person she pretends to be what a wonderful day that would be for the kids. She put up a pic of a Christmas tree that might lead one to believe it was her tree. First she says she lets the kids put the ornaments on and then says in the same breath that they actually prefer to come home to a fully decorated house - surprise - and that has become the tradition. She said the many boxes of beautiful ornaments had been stacked neatly in the DR for 2 weeks yet now that her tree is done it does not appear to have any ornaments. The tradition of hot sticky buns have suddenly become cinnamon buns. How many times did we hear about the hot sticky buns tradition on the show. Never heard cinnamon. I guess she forgot the vernacular on that one - same thing - just the tradition and all. I was so hoping that by going more public, we might see a different side of her, and gain some understanding. But alas it appears to be far worse than anyone ever imagined. What did dodging custody days have to do with anything. Why try and present your self as super mom when there is tons and tons of footage and now tweets that denote otherwise. I just don't get it. I give.

We've all been sick as dogs with a houseful of sick kids to care for, maybe not 8 kids, but then again most of us don't have a manager, a body guard and a pt not a nanny to call upon. Thank God! Kate's life sounds horrible to me. The holidays are some crazy superficial days of nothin but me, me, me, and gee you kids are annoying me. We've all suffered through vomit and fevers and being torn in six directions, but Kate makes it sound like she never worries about her children, has no worries at all except whether the 2 sick will become 4 and really cut into her sleeping/tweeting time. I don't hear her fretting about their fluid loss, pain, upset, no, it is just crap, someone get me some blue sports drinks and those processed cheese cookies, and a vomit bucket, and close the door on those kids because they don't need to be around us. Mommy is too busy making store bought cookies for mr. garbage man.

Anonymous said...

Devil's Advocate -- What makes you think Kate has the sick kids camped out on the livingroom floor? She just said floor, but didn't specify what room. She did say easy to clean. Most LRs are carpeted, so I doubt they are in the LR. Besides, when you are achy and feverish and fluey, a soft bed feels wonderful. I don't have a problem with Goldfish. I enjoy them myself from time to time. My problem is giving them to kids with tummy issues. Goldfish are greasy (put a handful of them on a paper towel for 15 minutes or so then look at the grease spots). That's not good for a touchy tummy. Saltines, hard pretzels or dry toast (a few bites) are good to see if a tummy is ready to handle solid food. Then start the BRAT diet if they stay down. Gatorade isn't all that bad for vomiting kids. They need the sugar and the electrolytes. Pedialyte is better, soda is acceptable (NOT diet, unless the child is a diabetic -- they need the sugar to keep blood glucose levels up). Water will keep them hydrated but doesn't do anything to restore depleted blood levels.

Despite Kate's animosity for Jon, I bet that if Mady and Cara asked him to help them shop for Christmas gifts for Kate, he'd take them. I doubt Kate would do the same if they asked her for help shopping for Jon.

I thought Kate's tree seemed rather sterile. But then, I've never cared for trees decorated with just white lights, unless they are outdoors. I love a tree with lots of colored lights and plenty of tinsel (icicles). I think it gives the tree a magical appearance.

I thought Kate's CC blog was supposed to be tips on using coupons and budget shopping. What's using coupons and budgetting have to do with her bragging about the over-abundance of gifts she gives her kids for Christmas?

Not all things are purchased at stores. Kids can make gifts, such as items made in art class at school, or a special Christmas card, a frame made of construction paper for a favorite photo, or even a gift certificate for a dinner at home or chores done that usually aren't on the child's list of jobs to do.

Kate's all about material possessions, but hopefully those kids can learn that home-made gifts can be just as special to a parent. One of the best gifts I ever received was a ceramic tray made in art class. It was oval instead of round, the colors bled together, but the look on my son's face when I opened it was priceless. It is displayed in a China closet among the good crystal, and to me it's far more valuable than the expensive antique pieces.

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

Ha! Last night, I said that I hope her sitter calls in sick today. Give me a break, poor Khate can't handle two kids home sick today while the others are at school. Her tweet shows us what we were thinking - that after Saturday night and all day Sunday with two sick kids, she was just dying to have the sitter come on Monday morning and take over. Poor baby!

Last night, I was thinking that if her sitter is smart, she reads Khate's tweets, and she'd know what was going on and call in sick today. I'm sure Khate had some vomity laundry waiting for her too.

Really, what mom hasn't had to take care of two sick kids? Big deal, it's not a major crisis, and she should be prepared and able to handle it by year 11 of being a "mom". What about all the moms who spend all weekend taking care of sick kids, getting no sleep, and have to go into work on Monday morning?

Those that mentioned the school bus drop off have a great point. If the sitter isn't there, what did she do with the two sick kids when she took the others to the bus drop off?

fidosmommy said...

Maybe "John" showed up and took the kids to the bus stop.

Dwindle said...

So I was just thinking about the post above about who puts gifts for Kate under the tree:

I was remembering when *I* was newly divorced with four kids from 11 - 1.

First of all, my kids were all assisted to make gifts for mom both at school and at Sunday School. Not to mention the little school holiday store where they could purchase little trinkets for the adults in their lives, if I sent in a few dollars. It is 25 years later, and I am LOOKING at 2 of those precious trinkets, and a half dozen of those home-made gifts right now as I sit here on my sofa.

Second, as I recall - my ex and I took the kids shopping for gifts for each other, even though it annoyed me no end to do so. It wasnt the end of the world: I managed to help each kid pick out a coffee mug, tshirt, wallet or whatever for their dad. Only for the first couple of years until the kids got the hang of doing it on their own, but yes, I still saw to it they had a few dollars for a small gift for their dad. I seem to recall he did the same. Maybe...

Third, I remember my sister, my mother, even my mother-in-LAW (ex) and 3 female friends taking them shopping for gifts for me, over the years. I dont recall every gift, what I recall mostly is the experience. The giggling and the secrets and their days and times out shopping and then they would come home with their absolute treasures and race them to their rooms. They each would have a special secret with the adult that took them shopping and there were always lots of giggles. The secret wrapping on Christmas Eve...

I was way more concerned about each individual child having the experience of shopping for each parent, than I ever cared about the gift.

Of course Katie and her sheeple are more concerned that she should get diamonds, stilettos and 100 new bottles of toenail polish under the tree, but the kids will have to grow up and make some porn movies like a Kardashian before they have enough money to impress their mother with their Christmas gifts. A dollar store "I heart Mom" coffee mug is too mediocre for Katie Irene.

If Katie doesnt have a mother, sister, ex mother in law and some female friends who OFFER to do this with love and arrange it all in faux secrecy, she needs only look at herself. If there are painted macaroni necklaces and popsicle stick ornaments wrapped for her under the tree that she doesnt consider precious gifts, then she need only look at herself.

Nobody Likes a Narcissist (NLAN) said...

One other point. Khate said:

"My pt wkday helper/SOS per I've been waiting 4 is sick 2!Lovely!"

So, her part time helper called in sick. It's a school day, so does that means that the "sitter" she talks about is someone who arrives early on weekdays mornings to get the kids ready for school and probably take them to school most days?

But, Khate says it's her part time helper/SOS, that she has been waiting for, because the poor thing had two days alone with her kids, including one night and one day with two of them sick. That means this person is not just a "sitter" that she always refers to, but part time help around the house - someone who is there when the kids are at school. Is this in addition to the "laundry girl" she has mentioned? Khate also mentioned she has a cleaning service. So, what does this part time "helper" person do all day while the kids are at school? Take care of the chickens, the dog, straighten up the house, go grocery shopping, etc?

Devil's Advocate -- What makes you think Kate has the sick kids camped out on the livingroom floor?

_______________

I misunderstood her "no L Rm floor" tweet as saying that no, they weren't in the laundry room, but were in the living room. I stand corrected.

But in any case, she has them near her instead of upstairs in their bedrooms.

And I still don't see what the big deal is. Yes, the cold laundry room floor, away from the rest of the family, with a small blanket covering them was cruel. A bed made up on the floor in the regular living area of the home is different. Maybe, just maybe, Kate saw the error of her ways with the reaction to the laundry room floor incident and modified her approach to be something that works for her but isn't as cruel as what she did before.

Regarding goldfish crackers: Chicken soup is just as greasy as goldfish crackers, yet it's an age-old food served to those not feeling well. The BRAT diet, as someone mentioned earlier, is mostly for diarrhea - not vomiting - because those foods are constipating. They aren't going to stay down any easier than anything else. Personally I don't think it matters what you give someone as far as solid food when they don't feel well - if they are going to vomit it up, they will vomit it up. Maybe her kids LIKE goldfish crackers and they don't bother their stomachs at all. WHO CARES!!!?? If they end up in the hospital with dehydration because she completely ignored them altogether, then there is a reason to criticize.

*****
It is just not normal to stick a sick kid on the floor. The child should be in their bed, under blankets. I don't care what room it is, it's not normal. The thing is, Kate just does this to avoid vomit laundry, otherwise, there is no call for a sick child on a floor.
So yes, it's a big deal to me. I can not fathom my mother making me lie on the floor at any time, especially when I was sick.

I'd rather wash bedding than to clean vomit out of a carpet, especially if the child has eaten something pink or red that permanently stains the rug.
If they are on the floor, aren't they also on sheets or blankets of some kind that have to be laundered? There's no getting away from vomit laundry.
Am I missing something?

Tucker's Mom said...

I think Kate puts the kids on a bare floor. She had a thin blanket under Joel in the laundry room.

Oh, yes, I thought about that, which is why I said that Kate is all about material possessions. She most likely wouldn't appreciate something made by the kids, but that doesn't mean they couldn't do something like that, just to learn that gifts do not need to be purchased. What she does with them is her own business. I would hope that she wouldn't throw them into the trash while they are watching.
After all, following her own logic, you get what you get and you don't get upset. If she gets a handmade clay candy dish, too bad, you don't get upset.
I love gifts that come from the heart rather than from Macy's.

steff said...

haven't been around much, recovering from surgery...but trying to catch up on my reading now.

About the tree, since I had surgery, I had to accept that the big tree just wasn't going to be put up this year. If it was as simple as calling someone and asking to come do it for me, I would. But it would involve rearranging furniture, putting the tree up, putting the lights on it, tinsel on it, and then decorate it. My hubby has to work every day (7 days a week) until Xmas eve due to the time he took off for my surgery. My kiddo is neck deep in tests, filming hs playoffs, his engineering classes electric car races, and gathering up toys/bikes for our town's needy kids. So I have slowly (a little bit each day) put up our smaller trees that usually go into other rooms around the house. Over the past week, I've managed to make the house look Christmasy. All of my shopping had to be done online, I can't even go to the grocery store, my mom or brothers are doing that for me.

And in spite of all of that & knowing that our Christmas is going to be much lower key than it normally is, I still appreciate so much just being able to have Christmas with my family. To be surrounded by loved ones & be together is all that really matters. Not how many gifts the kids get, not how many freebies Kate can have sent to her, not how many teenagers she can get to waste their money on her kids, not anything to do with the variety of strangers Kate acts close to. It's family, loved ones, those you care most about.

I'll never understand her lack of appreciation & love for those closest to her, but instead her need to play everything up for strangers who don't really matter in her or the kids lives.

We call that the Ralphie tree, from A Christmas Story. Our kids prefer big multi-colored lights and silver icicles, rather than the all-white lights. There's so much more warmth.

I am sure Steve will have something for her, and she says her "manager" buys her a diamond necklace every year, one of which she "lost," on her birthday (not sure if that is "road manager" or not), and the many sitters, worker people, etc., so I am sure she gets something for Christmas. Many schools have a little store at Christmas that the kids can buy small gifts for their parents. She suddenly seems to have acquired a vast new array of friends as she tweets about them quite often so I am sure they know the drill - plus all the many Tweeties who are well schooled in how to help KT. I have no pity, whatsoever, for this woman.

Umm, Kate was the one complaining she did not have enough tree lights a couple of weeks ago, and could not find them ANYWHERE. Her hairdresser was nice enough to buy many boxes of them for her a couple of weeks ago and posted pictures of same.

So Kate wanted tree lights and she got them. Only they never made it to the tree. End of story.
