Personally, I think it would have been far more bizarre for the film crew to be in their home so frequently and so much of the time and have them be so indifferent to the children that they would not have become attached. That would be very sad to me.

Sure they can be sad to see them leave and miss them and shed tears as they said good bye but to continually cry, "every day", that is a bit much and not healthy.

I imagine there is some 'generalization' of their grief - over all the changed circumstances of their lives and not just the loss of those relationships.

Who said the kids cry everyday? Someone here? Kate? A reporter?

Kate says that they cry every day because they miss the cameras. She says this on The Barbara Walters special.

"They cried in the van on the way home from school the other day. I finally admitted to them, they kept asking, 'Where's the camera crew? Where's the camera crew? We miss them.' And I said, 'Our show is over.' ...Eight sobbing kids driving home from school," Kate, 34, says on Barbara Walters' The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009, airing Wednesday on ABC Thats from US magazine.... not sure if its exactly what she says or not cuz the show hasn't aired yet...but I didn't take it as "every day"

The cameral crew must miss them too. I bet they had a great relationship with those kids. Let's face it those are some really cute kids. That must have been a really fun job for them and they might be crying every day too.

So far I haven't heard of one of the film crew taking money to "tell all" about the family on TV.. can't say as much for certain "relatives". I don't think it is the title, but the individual person who touches us in life.. and kids don't discriminate based upon the status of the person, they just know if a person listens to them or likes them. Some teachers are great, some not so great. The title/job of teacher doesn't make a person better or worse. Same with a camera or sound person. I'm sure if I'd been around those kids in any capacity and was cut off.. I'd miss them as well. I find myself touched by the individual person and don't judge their worthiness by their title or position and I'm sure these kids are even more open than I am at my age. I know I've had my life enriched because I know/listen to/appreciate such a wide range of people. My doctor was telling a joke told to him by a 93 year old guy and it turned out he didn't know the man, but was out walking and started talking to this neighbor.. and my doctor said "that's how you learn about people; listening to them". That's why I feel so fortunate to have this particular doctor! <\end of ramble| I think whoever is in your life in a good way is a natural part of your life. I drive cancer patients as a volunteer, so it is natural in my life to interact with cancer patients, employees at radiation centers, oncology offices, those who administer chemo, other medical offices and so on. Might not be natural for others but they are in my life right now. A kid with braces will naturally develop a relationship with the orthodontist and staff that other kids may never establish. Kids may have a piano teacher or a tutor, even a therapist Whoever is in their life is "natural" and for the Gosselins it would be almost un-natural if they weren't affected by the rather abrupt cutting off from a group of people who had mostly been there many days and for years. These people did interact with the kids.. it wasn't set up as a documentary science project from animal planet, where they aren't supposed to interact with their subjects. (I remember that Steve Irwin was criticized for being too hands-on at times) They have lost the crew, the bodyguards, the sometimes fun trips, their dad isn't around as much, both parents are stressed, the dogs are gone.. lots of changes.

I have no doubt that Kate's own sorrow over the loss of the show and all it entailed (including the camera crew) effects the children's sorrow. This is a very normal thing, and having gone thru a divorce, you simply cannot or should not hide *all* your feelings from your children. Kate's sense of loss over the show being over is clear. The children will also experience a sense of loss, over many things, and it is amplified when they see and sense their mother's sadness. This is a normal part of grief over all the changes in their lives.

They probably cry everyday because they miss the people, not the cameras like Kate thinks. I seem to remember some old shows where they kids were extremely happy when a producer or sound guy or camera guy came back from vacation. They missed them when they went on vacation back in the day and now they miss them because they are gone.

It's time for the Gosselin's including the kids to get back to reality. And not the reality of living with a camera crew. It's obvious that Mr. and Mrs. G wasn't able to handle having a tv show. Other tv families seem to have kept some semblance of normalcy and haven't melted down but lets give it time. The Duggars can be in divorce court next week or the Rolloffs or the table for 12? It's just a mess for the Gosselin's and who knows who is next. After Tiger's 10 friends nothing will surprise me. LOL

The only thing I've seen here is the quote from US magazine with Kate saying, "they kept asking, 'Where's the camera crew? Where's the camera crew? We miss them.' which obviously indicates that they miss the crew...the people. Did I miss something where she said they miss the cameras??

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34336332/ns/entertainment-access_hollywood/ Kate Gosselin spotted filming new series TLC is developing new show for ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ mom Access Hollywood updated 8:27 p.m. ET, Tues., Dec . 8, 2009 RALEIGH, N.C. -- - “Jon and Kate Plus 8” might be no more — but it didn’t take Kate Gosselin long to get back in front of the cameras. Kate was spotted at a restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday — complete with camera crew in tow — filming a segment for her new series, which is in development at Discovery’s TLC cable channel. As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, in November TLC announced they were scrapping plans for a “Kate Plus 8” spin-off. However, they noted a new series for the reality mom was in development. TLC confirmed to Access that the filming of Kate at the Raleigh restaurant on Tuesday was part of the development process. The finale of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” aired on Nov. 23, with more than 4.3 million viewers tuning in for the farewell.

How would she have supported those kids if it wasn't for TLC in the first place? Give me a freaking break there's a lot more she can do then being in front of a camera and don't tell me she has to be with the kids, because it's obvious she's NOT with them NOW!!

<---wonders why she has never received insider information... Nothing is obvious to me. Many of the Food Network people film a week's worth of shows in one day.

I wonder if anyone here would take umbrage if I asked them why they are continuing with their job? or seeking new opportunities, even if they might be a stretch.. or if I question why they won't go back to a job that I think they should perform? Her kids are in school and it sounds like they aren't involved in whatever filming is taking place.. filming at a restaurant so she's not opting for a porn career, probably not trying to sell bad mutual funds to seniors, or convince people to borrow more money on their already upside down properties, she's not running a puppy mill or training pit bulls to fight. She isn't hosting bikini pool parties in Vegas. She's not off suing someone to get THEM to pay for her lifestyle, like Jon.. I don't see the case for tsk tsking or outrage, to be honest. and I'm betting it pays more and allows her more time with her kids than, say, nursing.

<<<----has insider info. Kate has a bright and prosperous future that will offer her children many good things. Jon, not so much. Unless, of course, the kids wanna smoke and drink and cavort and such. And cram themselves all into a little bitty sports car. (That car choice just bugs the crapola outta me. Can you tell? LOL)

Once Jon loses his lawsuit against TLC he's going to be one scared puppy. Tiger has stolen all his thunder and no one is going to be paying him money for interviews. I do wish him well though as he needs to keep himself together for his children's sake.

I thought everyone's main objective was to get the kids off TV. Well, that's done. Now Kate can't make a living to support them?? I give up.

Do she and Jon still split their weeks between children? I know she was awarded primary custody but I haven't heard whether their time arrangement was still in place. Perhaps she is doing this while the children are with Jon? Why shouldn't Kate do whatever she can to bring in the most money to support her children? It is not immoral or illegal. Also, these children are in school most of the day...Kate wouldn't be with them anyway at that time.

I think Kate needs to cash in while she can. If the kids are not on TV and not a part of this show, I can't see if having a lot of success. Most of us tuned in to see the kids, not Kate. Kate won't be the next Ellen or Rachel Ray or Emeril. She might be able to sustain a small cable show, but I think she needs to reign in her spending. The kids were the gravy train and that train appears to have been mothballed.
