Kate's Worst Moments of 2014

It's that time of year again! Here is our annual list of Kate's worst moments. This year will be our fifth recap! Previous lists can be found here: 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

10. Take it like a man. Er, child. Kate picks a fight with a teenager.


This year Kate's managed to be a little more restrained than she used to be on Twitter, often because she wasn't on it for long stretches of time while TLC and NBC were stroking her ego. But she just couldn't help herself when a teen called her out for trying to film the teen's friend who was hurt. The teen said Kate had to be yelled at before she and her cameras would just go away. You could literally picture Kate clenching her fists as she hashtagged #hewillnotbeonTV (lol!!) and fired off this exchange: 

ɑɑʟıʏɑʜ ʜєʀв @Aaliyah_Herb Oct 19
Let me just say, @Kateplusmy8 is disgusting, she filmed my friend breaking his ankle at skyzone and wants to put it in her show9

Kate Gosselin ‏@Kateplusmy8 Oct 19
@Aaliyah_Herb Not true.Hoping he is ok!Please tell him I'm thinking of him&wish him well.A nurse was needed.I was just there2help!Take care!

Kate Gosselin ‏@Kateplusmy8 Oct 19
@MiloandJack @Aaliyah_Herb yeah, she was wrong! Just did what I hope another nurse mom would hav done4my child #HeWillNotBeOnTv #GetWell

Kate Gosselin ‏@Kateplusmy8 Oct 19
@MiloandJack No1 else w medical backround came 4ward
I live my real life&4get cameras often.She's just upset 4her friend& directing it @ me!

ɑɑʟıʏɑʜ ʜєʀв @Aaliyah_Herb Oct 19
@Kateplusmy8 yes m'am that's why 2 of your daughters went to the bathroom saying that he was their best friend

ɑɑʟıʏɑʜ ʜєʀв @Aaliyah_Herb Oct 19
@Kateplusmy8 and that's also why your producers were video taping ever second of his pain until you got yelled at to go away

ɑɑʟıʏɑʜ ʜєʀв @Aaliyah_Herb Oct 19
@Kateplusmy8 m'am I respect my elders, so I'm gonna keep my tongue tied but let's get one thing straight everything you said is bs

Baw-haha. 

9. Cheater! Kate and Steve caught in the act.



Kate and Steve were finally caught "cheating" this year. In more ways than one. First Steve was spotted tagging along with Kate everywhere on the set of Celebrity Apprentice. There were rumblings from insiders at the show that this was really weird and that nobody else had their assistant/bodyguard/best friend along. Most die-hard Apprentice fans consider such a thing unfair and
"cheating." Then months later, fellow contestant Kenya Moore went on record and said Steve and Kate indeed shared a hotel room during filming, confirming rumors from April that they were "definitely" acting like a couple and not trying to hide it. It was obvious Steve's presence made some of the other contestants resentful, prompting at least one to spill the beans. Bonehead move, Kate.


8. That's one botoxed Trojan Horse. Kate's own former employer The Stir calls her out for her bad parenting.



When Kate said she bought the twins iphones so she could take them away, she probably expected the usual accolades and ego stroking. The public's reaction was anything but though. A blogger at Kate's former employer, The Stir, called the stunt a "twisted trick":

"Kids test their parents' limits, and we need to set up boundaries and stick to them. It's GOOD to see Kate disciplining her kids without resorting to violence ('memba the wooden spoon incident?). That said, it seems a little odd to specifically buy something nice for your child with the intention of using it to punish them. For lack of a better word, it seems ... untrustworthy? It sounds like a Trojan Horse of parenting ... here kid, here's a gift, now I can use it to destroy you. Now, to be clear, that doesn't mean you shouldn't put limits on the use of gadgets because they are, after all, a privilege. But we are supposed to buy presents for our kids out of the goodness of our hearts, not with an ulterior motive! That's part of showing love and respect for our kids. And we all know respect is a two-way street."

The Stir really nailed this one. Kate does not respect her kids, from their privacy to their gifts. Yet she wants respect in return. Relationships don't work that way, and this is a major factor in why the kids have turned on her this year.

7. The Grinch who spoiled the children's Christmas. Kate lets the kids open presents early.




Most kids hate waiting for Christmas morning, but too bad, it's every celebrating child's birthright. Kate took the lazy way out this year however and gave in to their spoiled demands, tweeting that she was letting them open at least some of their presents early. In fact, one family gift a day. For good measure, she threw in a couple ignorant remarks about Judaism too. A policy of appeasement doesn't work in international relations and won't work for kids either

6. Not-a-contest. Kate's not-a-random act of kindness contest is one big mess.



Kate announced last December she was holding a random act of kindness contest with the winners to get copies of her book. There was so much about this little stunt that was snarkalicious, from most of the premeditated acts not being true random acts in the first place, to the obvious low turnout of entries, to Kate dragging her feet for over two months to choose the winners. Not to mention how complicated state laws are when it comes to such contests. And, we all wondered, how do you "judge" an act of kindness? Is saving a neglected baby kitten better or worse than giving your sandwich to the homeless?

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 11 Jan
Can you believe I am STILL reading the stack of #BeKindGetSigned (copy of #LoveIsInTheMix ) submissions? (Us: Yes.) Your kindness is making us smile! 

I guess Kate figured out how to judge them somehow, because finally at the end of February, the "winners" were announced. Incidentally, the announcement was the last time she posted on her blog in 2014. Heh.

5. Reboot: TLC and Kate bring the show back.



You have to hand it to TFW, very few cancelled shows ever get a chance to come back again. But this year was a good one for her. TLC not only aired an update special that they promised way back when, but are also bringing Kate Plus 8 back in 2015. Much of Kate's summer she was MIA from Twitter, filming in Massachusetts and Maine. The fifth worst moment is shared with TLC, for resurrecting something that didn't die fast enough in the first place, and in all the preview clips, making the kids look spoiled and unruly. And what's more, they are exaggerating a small handful of episodes and calling it a "season," which is misleading. They also promised an air date of December, only to see that pushed out to January of next year. Shame on them for all of the above.

4. John Don't. Kate buys the kids a John Deere Gator.



The dumbest gift you can get a kid is an unsafe one. The second dumbest is a gift only meant to help them with choring. Kate's birthday gift to the sextuplets for their big tenth birthday was both. The John Deere Gator was one of her worst gifts yet, and the children were spotted both driving and riding in the back, a big no-no. John Deere warns in their own safety manual their gators should never be operated by children under 16. And Pennsylvania law forbids children from driving the vehicles anywhere but their parents' property without a training certificate. Kate tweeted that Mady drove it on their neighbor's property. More than 100 children in Pennsylvania have died on this or similar vehicles in the past 30 years in Pennsylvania. I would have preferred a Jonas brother.

3. Garage sale karma



There's nothing wrong with a garage sale, except when you're filming it, exploiting your kids, and selling your ex-'s stuff (or other stuff you got for free in the first place). Kate accomplished all three at the early morning sale this fall. Kate donated the proceeds to an animal shelter, but as per her usual, barely promoted that aspect of it. The best karma of all however was when Jon showed up, bought back his own video game (lol!), hung out with the kids for awhile (effectively sheltering many of them from being filmed), and then left with all eight of them.

2. Pitch your tent. Kate insults children with special needs, and their parents.

This one was a very close second to first because it was just that offensive and frankly, cruel. We all wondered what charity Kate would pick for Celebrity Apprentice. Surprisingly, it wasn't the obvious choices of the Red Cross, the March of Dimes, or a children's hospital. Rather it was a lovely little charity she has had no discernible contact with or interest in since May 2012, Camp Barnabas, a camp for children with special needs. We couldn't find a shred of evidence Kate has ever even been to this camp, let alone supported it for more than one night at a publicity event. When asked to speak about her charity, the only thing Kate could come up with to highlight is that this camp gives parents a nice break from their burdens. For good measure, she also said that special needs kids won't go to college and will have to be parented forever. That's simply not true, Kate. It was such a demoralizing blow to families who are working so hard toward productive and independent adult lives for their children. Get educated, Kate. Your unbelievable ignorance is both unforgivable and hurtful.


It's been another wonderful year here on the blog. Thanks to all of you for making it possible! And now here is the top worst moment:

1. Mommie Dearest: The twins choke on the Today show.





In 2014, the worst moment of the year happened only two weeks into January and hasn't been one-upped since. In an obvious effort to build and revamp the Gosselin brand for the teen years, Kate paraded the twins on a small media tour in NYC. First stop was the Today show, only it didn't quite go as Kate planned.  Watch it here.

Cara wouldn't speak, Mady clamped up a lot too, and when asked about Jon, Mady refused to throw him under the bus. 
Jon's response was heartbreaking: "I just feel horrible for my twins. You would only know as a parent. I wish I could've rescued them."

On the bright side, the outrage from other entertainment and social media was pretty universal, with Kate put on blast from the likes of Access Hollywood and Extra, along with numerous outraged drivebys on Twitter. It has even made at least one "year end" list of most outlandish moments of 2014, over at Gawker. It was a defining moment in which the general public finally saw the damage the exploitation has done. That same damage we've been warning about for almost ten years now.


And finally our annual Best Moment of the year. This year we're handing out just one award, although we're giving out a number of honorable mentions. One to Candace Cameron and Lori Loughlin who, for the first time we've ever heard, talked publicly about some of the negative aspects of growing up on T.V. Lots of child stars have spoken out and it's great when they do. This time was especially important though, because the sentiment from Full House is mostly positive from everyone but the very youngest cast members, and almost everyone on the show continues to be successful. It's important to note that even good, positive film sets that produce well-adjusted adults can still cause damage to child stars in the long run. Another honorable mention goes to Beth Carson for finally breaking her silence and confirming our speculations, and for calling Kate out for the greedy liar that she is. The only response Kate could come up with to Beth's bombshell interview was a pathetic little "no." Oh, but yes, Kate. And finally a honorable mention goes to Rep. Tom Murt, who is still not satisfied with child labor laws and is vowing to do even more, including mandatory background checks for all of production and an independent advocate on set. He even has Jon aboard now, too. 

The Best Moment award this year goes to the ladies of The Talk. Daytime T.V. for women can sometimes be a mind-numbing black hole of idiocy.


These women have proven this year that daytime T.V. doesn't have to be that. Women are just as smart and capable as men of producing good T.V., and The Talk did a lot last year to prove just that. What they have to say about current events is intelligent, logical, and worth listening to. The View and their squawking chickens this show is not. As for Kate putting her children back on T.V. this year, they had this to say:

Sara Gilbert: "Any time you're putting kids on T.V.--I was a kid on T.V. and I wanted to be there--but if you're putting eight kids on T.V. from the time they are tiny you don't know which ones want to be there and which ones don't. ... I chose it. They didn't get a chance to choose it."

Sharon Osborne: "It's our industry. We know what we're going to get, you know what you're not going to get. So therefore, it's a whole different thing."

So congrats Marie, Sara (both former child stars), Sharon (mother to former child stars), Aisha, and Julie.

Happy New Year!

No wonder she's tired! She lives ever day twice! Seriously who goes into that much detail about their day in a journal every day?


&&&

A narcissist who thinks they are interesting or a 14 year old teenager.

Also who is she talking to? It's like "Dear Kitty." She wants to "share" a bible verse. With who, the voices in her head? She is a grown ass woman. Grow up. It's funny yet rather deranged.

I snorted when I read this around line 133 of the journal:
I don’t know why she did this! I talked to her about it and I told her to ‘always tell the truth’—my broken record speech!!!!

OMG I read some of Robert's book and read the line when Kate said tell
the truth..I all most scream but b**h you never tell the truth lol.

Um, Milo...was the drunken bar foot-licking episode suitable for kids to watch?

The shocking part about her refusing to give the child a cookie (after dinner), when she did offer her soup the child kept asking "More soop mommy" until she "finally" gave her a bowl.

Mind you this was no ordinary soup, it was in her words "my yummy chicken corn soup" "and she ate the WHOLE thing!"

She admits that this was "amazing" because the child "usually doesn't eat very much!!!!!!"

I find it shocking that she would deny the child an after dinner cookie and the youngster was so hungry she was happy to get the soup. She may be a nurse but she has no idea the amount of food growing youngsters need.

@Kateplusmy8 Will kids be watching their smart, strong minded, determined, fierce, busy, protective, loving mom?

She is such a butt-kisser, right after Gladys and Carlene. By the way, where's Brownie? She popped on Twitter with one tweet and then disappeared again.

Yea Admin!

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The thing that is very concerning is that once it became clear the child was still quite hungry and needed more calories (and wasn't just trolling for a bit more chocolate) Kate put her in a sort of standoff, made her hold out.

That could do a number of things, including causing the child to associate food with negativity, making a child unable to recognize their hunger cues when those cues are dictated by their mother, making a child stubborn and angry, or worse yet, make a child demoralized such that they learn NOT to ask for food because it will just throw them into a battle of wills with their mother they maybe don't feel like fighting.

Craziness, I don't think anyone "supports" Brandi. What does that mean? Her commenting about child molestation is like most of her comments, completely inappropriate and unnecessary. It's why she gets into so much trouble with her mouth. She has this odd need to just say the most outlandish cutting thing possible. All she does on her show is apologize to people she's offended. She probably could use some therapy. It doesn't mean Kate isn't lazy or Brandi isn't right about her.

AuntieAnn said...

"I forgot to mention the other miracle of the day!!!!! I had used the last almost two cups of milk for the soup I made for dinner…. I never run out of milk because when it is on sale, I buy a fridge full! I was kinda bummed that I would have to start buying milk for full price ($3.19 a half a gallon) so when I went to the store (with Hannah after the doctor) I decided I would buy just one half gallon since we are going away this week…. Well milk was on sale for $2.89 a gallon so I got 15 half gallons and six rainchecks!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!! Another miracle!"

====

Well yeah! Awesome huh?!!!

WTF? She only needed a half gallon but hoarded all the milk on sale and got rainchecks for more? She just wrote they'd be gone for a week. Where pray tell is the logic in that?

I'm sure all the other shoppers looking to buy milk that day were really happy about her miracle.

FYI said...

Funny that Kate didn't mention this after she finally tweeted about CA. Did she get the memo?

The Apprentice ‏@ApprenticeNBC · 50m50 minutes ago
This time TOMORROW, the cast of #CelebApprentice will be livetweeting the premiere! Watch along with @RealDonaldTrump and the contestants!

Barb Gilmer even asked her and she didn't respond.

Barbara Gilmer ‏@BarbGilmer · 1h1 hour ago
@Kateplusmy8 Tweeting tomorrow night?

She did her one promote tweet and was gone. And the fans are upset that Brandi called her "lazy"? She just proved it.

Mel said...

She keeps talking in the diary about taking sleeping pills. What mom of 8 toddlers has the luxury of taking sleeping pills???

I don't see where she's getting all the free time to freeze herbs, strawberries, etc. What mom of 8 toddlers has time to drive hither and yon picking up fresh food? And *then* has the time to freeze it? All while watching 8 little kids.

Oh..wait. She wasn't watching them. They were in the basement, all of them. By themselves. Sounds like they got a lot of mom interaction. Not.

Once again, TFW is busy, busy, busy in the kitchen. Freezing strawberries and herbs. Waaay too busy to interact with her own children. She has important stuff to do. In the kitchen. Where the children are forbidden to step foot. Nice, convenient way to isolate yourself and not have to watch kids.

Sounds like Cara & Mady were tasked with watching the 6 littler ones, by themselves, in the basement, with no adult supervision whatsoever.

And why are they always vomiting? Even now it seems like they're vomiting way too often. What's she doing to them? Sanitation issues? Food issues?

Notice that when they vomit, some other adult (or even sibling) nurtures and cleans up the child, while she goes to work on cleaning up the chair, the rug, the 'thing'. Never once giving any thought to comforting her sick child.

She didn't even go with when Mady had a tooth pulled. Jon had to do it.

Just like he nurtured the sick children. And bathed/dried/lotioned them, and washed/conditioned their hair (while she threw a load of laundry in).

And they try to say that she's a good mom??? She's a terrible mother. She clearly has *no* interest in her children. Disgusting.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Bathe 8 kids; or throw in one load of laundry.
Clean up vomit from one car seat; or clean it up from a sick kid, comfort the kid, all while keep the other 7 under control.
Freeze strawberries; or pay some attention to your kids (the ones that you so badly wanted to have).

*********************************************************************************
BAHAWA!!! The only 'cesspool' I've ever seen here is that witch's diary on pastebin. After reading through that sludge (just a year's worth?), it makes me want to reenact the escape scene from The Shawshank Redemption where Tim Robbins emerges from the sewage pipe and washes off in the rain.

"I'll bet the entire farm that Kate didn't and still hasn't done one iota of research of the other celebs she was with on CA. "

I'd like to do some research (up close and personal) on Johnny Damon. He's adorable. Anyone know how far he goes on this show? That's the only reason I'm watching! Admin, please don't beat him up in the recap!

Rhymes with Witch said...

God Bless those of you that could read the journal. I could only take about four entries of her writing style that I like to call Literary Diarrhea. She really has the mentality of a 10 year old girl. 177

I think literary is being much too kind.
How about verbal diarrhea? She really does spout crap.

Mel said...

Fummy how other adults, Jon, Jodi, Carla, Janet, etc. can handle all 8 kids by themselves for hours, or all day, with some of the kids sick, and none of the adults goes nuts.

TFW can't handle an hour by herself without freaking. She has to have a helper, or a babysitter, or someone else take half the kids.

And she sure seemed to spend 90% of her time "cooking", instead of on childcare. It seems to me that as the mom, you'd want someone else to do the cooking, and you spend the time interacting with those wonderful little kids.

But not TFW. Anything she can think of to not spend time with them.

OT-for the Billy Joel fans. If you missed the show on PBS where he received the Gershwin Award, you can watch it here. It was a great show, especially the ending number. Kevin Spacey is a hoot!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This reminds me of Red in the Shawshank Redemption. When Red is paroled and working at the grocery store, he went over to his boss and asked him if he could go to the bathroom. His boss got mad at him and told him not to ask him every single time he had to go to the bathroom.

When those kids finally get out in the real world, it is going to be rough on them. She has and will continue to micromanaged them where they to have permission for every little thing. No freedom to go to the refrigerator to get a drink, cookie or a yogurt. Can't talk freely on the phone with their dad. No privacy because she plasters their pictures on twitter.

She has really truly messed these poor kids up.

Hmm, is Milo having some doubts. She was betting $$ on TeamKate, and now she talking about how she's a longshot.

I'm sure those tweets make Kate feel good.

She has a long history of food and dysfunctional choices. This is not an isolated incident that can be viewed in a vacuum. If it were I would think nothing of it.

NYY Julianna said...

Has Fired Up ever criticized Kate about anything, or does she always kiss the ground that Kate walks upon, regardless of the issue at hand? In Milo's microcosmic world, can Kate part the Red Sea and raise the dead, too?

Rhymes with Witch said...

Some thoughts on the diary/journal:

I agree that Robert had nothing to do with posting it on pastebin.

From the beginning, she touts her amazing organizational skills.

In one entry, she "let" the kids get dirty, admits they had a blast, then marvels at her "tolerance." Guess who bathed them?

Her food control is obscene.

Sue said...

from walt Mullers blog he wrote about Jon and Kate back in 299.... And now we know. The family’s choice to live their lives in front of the world has yielded undeniable evidence that the train has not only derailed, but wrecked.

Why am I passing this on? It is not to gossip. It is simply to pass on some limited yet accurate context about a situation that has gone public because the primary characters in this sad, sad drama have chosen to throw themselves – and their children – in the limelight. My blog is occasioned by the Gosselin story as told publicly to the world by the Gosselins themselves.

For a minute, remove all the rumors and stories (many of which are true), and think only about how the family has chosen to present themselves. Think too about the fact that when the cameras are on, we usually put on our best smiles and best behavior. . . and then think – long and hard – about what that best behavior has been on this particular show. Then, imagine what life is like and how people act when the cameras aren’t rolling. After taking that all into consideration, we shouldn’t be surprised by the train wreck that’s taken the world by storm.

The Gosselins moved out of our neighborhood just before last Thanksgiving to a new million and half dollar home. Ironically, we’re consistently told by one member of the family that money is scarce. To be honest, our little neighborhood is relieved that the publicity blitz went into high gear after they moved. Yes, the media still shows up to film their empty house and interview neighbors. I saw them here yesterday.

Sandie replying to Kate's one and only promotional tweet:

Sandie ‏@SandieBellz · 9m9 minutes ago
@Kateplusmy8 Excuse me? Did those bitches call you lazy? Let's see them do what you do in a day.

Sandie, how do YOU know what Kate does in a day? Are you living at her house?

Again, as I said before, they worked with Kate. They should know how lazy she was or wasn't. 

FYI said...

Not only are the other celebrities promoting the show, they are also mentioning their charities. In fact, a lot of the charities are tweeting them wishing them luck.

Kate mentioned Camp Barnabas once, when she tweeted her original tweet about the show.

Kate Gosselin ‏@Kateplusmy8 · Nov 4
YAY! I can finally say it: I'm going to be on @ApprenticeNBC this season, playing for @CampBarnabas! Starts on January 4! #celebapprentice

She hasn't mentioned them since, and they haven't tweeted her. All they did was retweet the above tweet.

After what she said about them in her interview, I doubt that they want to have any association with her.

I know Walt Mueller. Good writer, good man, highly educated with a doctorate (with the D) from a seminary. He tells it like it is, no beating around the bush, and no reason whatsoever to lie. Milo and the sheep should read that blog entry.

"OT-for the Billy Joel fans. If you missed the show on PBS where he received the Gershwin Award, you can watch it here. It was a great show, especially the ending number. Kevin Spacey is a hoot!!"

Twit - I was there. Did you see me? :) They edited a lot out of there, especially some bloopers. I had no idea Spacey is so talented.

Read briefly Kate's journal and the things that struck me were:
1) Kate invoking God every time she was hoping for a gig or money to come in, yet she did not seem to make it to church very often.
2) Leah/Hannah said.....over and over and over again. (Yes they are very verbal now too and not in a good way)
3) Seems like there were quite a few "crisis team members" Jon had to call from work when she was "losing it," to come over the house to check on TFW and the kids' well being.
4) Never mind the 4 + hour naps (in her own words) the tups had to take so TFW had a break - kids were left in their room for hours (she noted 4 hours on her initial documentary). She should have been checking in on them, so no dressers fell on them or destruction happened, but she probably put them up there for long periods of time to avoid them, which is not normal. without checking on them.
5) Expectations to potty train a boy at 3 in 4-5 days - Really?
6) Pressure on Jon to quit his state job so she would "have help" although she clearly had Many people helping her on a daily basis, and often at the drop of a hat. And still has help to this day for 10 and 13 year olds. LAZY.
7) She seemed perfectly willing to let anybody (Beth and her husband) pay for dinners, new house, etc.... TLC at every turn and the tuition issue was vague at best in terms of WHO was paying for the majority of the tuition/"scholarships".
8) Her competition and reaction to other mothers of multiples losing children- deplorable.

This woman is clearly not capable of handling 8 kids, even with admitted help for several hours each day after school. She admitted to help 20 hours per week in the evening. Her parenting style is not working, and I base this on recent shows, taking twins on national TV for interviews, and how she has alienated almost everyone she has ever dealt with. Trying to rip off Beth with the book was a true show of her character. Cutting off family, friends, etc.. at every juncture just makes you a very shallow person.

No wonder the CA contestants have her number......

to be...EDITING. They'll blame it on EDITING. Count on it.

Leslie-here's the video. The part where Brandi says Kate is lazy is at approximately 1:02.

Mel (#17), and not only was Jodi able to handle all 8, she also
had her own (4?) kids in the mix. We saw what a delightful,
kind, giving soul she was -- only to get tossed on the pile of
discarded friends and family members.

Thanks for the input about Walt Lanc Native. The sheep would never believe a Christian man that lived by Jon and Kate. You know anyone that say's any thing about Kate must be jealous of Kate because she has such a great life according to her LOL..

@Kateplusmy8 Will kids be watching their smart, strong minded, determined, fierce, busy, protective, loving mom? ☺️

Like the time she wrote she brought all the cereal from a store cause it was on sale.

And that's just a couple that we know of. How many other bargains at the grocery store or any place for that matter did she grab without thought of others? It kind of blows her 'live by faith' theory out of the water. Why couldn't she just buy ample for her family and trust that more would come to her when needed. Why hoard it all?

@Kateplusmy8 Excuse me? Did those bitches call you lazy? Let's see them do what you do in a day.
___________________________

Yeah! You tell 'em, Sandie! Let's see those bitches take long naps, and snuggle a bird in their silicone cleavage, and tape a bunch of plastic bags to the kitchen counter, and bark orders to their children/hired help to do all the household chores! Yeah. Let's just see them try to do all that!

Flimsy, the first part of your comment is why she got tossed aside.
I hope Katie doesn't get a chance to make public excuses for her firing from CA. It will just be her throwing her kids under the bus. She has eight (8) you know.
The first part of your comment

How in the world does the mother of 8 small children have the time to write those long journal entries.

It looks to me like she prefers to write ABOUT her children instead of actually BEING WITH her children. Seems that most of her encounters are the children walking up to her while she's busy doing something, not that she is playing with them when they say their "cutisms".

Jeanne said... I only skimmed the journal. She never actually liked her children. She liked when they helped her. She had no knowledge that babies and toddlers act like babies and toddlers. You have to parent them not just spank them. One trip to the store she spanked Mady multiple times with the spoon that thank goodness she had just put in the van. Poor kids. The story about the kids pulling over the dresser struck me because they hadn't attached the dresser to the wall like a parent should. Instead it's the kids' fault. And the time a kid had a head injury that needed stitches but she was too tired to get care. There is no motherly love.

However, I think line 897, she quotes something and says that Jon is an amazing husband and she is lucky to have him
---------
She adored him worshiped him then the tv people said they should argue more and wouldn't it be cute funny if TFW was overbearing bitch wife and J was lazy incompetent husband ha ha go ho. Audience starts tuning in to see them bicker it grows as the kids do the other multiples family on TLC is to respectful and loving and are off the air soon but J&K are getting even worse and also better because a divorce brings in record numbers and paparazzi everywhere. More eyeballs and more money for TFW because she likes this way more than being #2 to a husband and he we are now poor abused J really abused after the marriage ended and the real cheater was TLC who could have been named as the other party not Ratclaws

Thanks Kate is a wit for the clip. Yes, Kate looks very upset. I love it. She does look like she is about to cry.

Twit - I was there. Did you see me? :) They edited a lot out of there, especially some bloopers. I had no idea Spacey is so talented.
----------------------

That's fantastic that you were there!! Did they actually show you on camera? Looks like all the people there had a great time.

Kevin Spacey was great, as were the others. The only one I didn't care for was Leann Rimes. IMO she butchered "Lullabye", which is one of my favorite songs.
