Jon & Kate plus 8

I'm so sad to hear that they are having problems. I just see the magazine stand at the store- the story is everywhere!

[Kerisweetpea]

i am so sad too! thats one couple that you would NEVER think would have problems. but just goes to show everyone does sometimes. i hope it works out for them, some how. what ever way works for them. everyone deserves to be happy!

[j-love]

Yeah, that is sad for them and the kids. I thought they would have split a long time ago, though. My hubby always says, he hasn't left her yet?? lol. He doesn't care for her very much. But I hope everything works out for all involved.

I feel extra bad because I totally treat my husband like that a lot. I thought it was just a symptom of having multiples and getting stressed. (and it probably still is) I totally see where she's coming from- and I think he is complacent- like my hubby can be. But now if they split up- I'm gonna have to be nicer to the husband... dang.

I saw it comming...she berades him like a child most of the time..we are all guilty of being a bit bossy at times but she's got so many kids I think she forgets how to talk to adults...I'm in the minority here I'm sure, but I can totally see why he'd go looking somewhere else for any type of womanly contact. I'm not saying it's right, but unless they stop that damn T.V. show they are doomed.

If you are in the minority on this one, Casslee84, then I am there with you. I enjoyed this show early on - but found myself growing increasingly horrified with the way Kate berated and demeaned Jon so publicly. There are multiples in my family - so I have seen first hand the stress and pressure that multiple little ones place on a marriage...I know that people can't be polite and loving to each other all the time and I don't expect them to be...but I think that Kate crossed the line numerous times.

While I feel that Jon made a huge mistake and broke a very important promise if he did cheat, I also believe that marriage is a two-way street and that a wife who treats her husband with such little respect and love should take some responsibility for her husband feeling that he needs to seek out love and affection elsewhere. Kate yelled at her husband demeaningly in public, smacked him constantly (even though he has repeatedly mentioned he hates it), treated him like the 9th child, and complained endlessly that he never took charge - only to complain louder when he DID try to take charge. I'm sorry...but it didn't shock me at all to learn that they were having serious problems.

At this point, I hope that they put whatever negative issues between them aside and make decisions based on what is best for their children.

I feel horrible for their family! Everyone is ragging on Kate, but you know what, none of you have been in her position, with that many children and the media up your back. Personally I think they need to get off the air and out the of media, for the kids sakes

I enjoyed watching the show, but seriously, for the sake of the kids, they've gotta stop doing it. I know they're making a ton of money and Kate says she believes it's her job to do it to support her family, but if it's wrecked their marriage than she's given more than she's received. Kids need both parents more than they need the latest toy and expensive vacations.

I don't care for the show. I have 3 year old triplets. I don't act like she does. What is really sad now is that their 8 children will be able to go to the video store and see their parents divorce on DVD.

i love that show i saw the show back when the babies where 16 months old and the twins 4 or 5 years. i'm still in shock on how big she was. but my kids arn't out of control i manage to keep my house stress free if i can if i can't my house falls apart and i can't wait for my husband to come home and help me with the 4 out of control kids {beside my 5 1/2 month old daughter she just cry's}
