Welcome, Nhmomof3!! Yay for a new poster.

Yes, sometimes we definately become way too involved in other people's lives. I hope you're here for Big Brother. You won't believe how involved we get then. LOL

WELCOME Nhmomof3 - Lurk is New England - I have 3 kids!! :-) I think you'll fit right in!! (are you a fan of Big Brother/?)

Lurk - I think you have become obsessed!! ;) (and thanks for taking the time to post the links!)

ITA Serate... and I will say at the beginning of this thread there were staunch Kate supporters. period. I know when I tried to post a varying opionion (and I admit I'm not good at getting my point across) I felt lambasted... I'd see this thread come to the top and I had to stay away.... (like a bug to a light I kept entering tho!)

and as far as Mady and cara - I go back to the Duggers - how do they get compliance!!

Seamonkey stated:
I did think it was nice that Kate re-donated her pink scooter to a charity that could then make money on the item.. so the Chopper boys got publicity for their show but the charity also got something too.

Okay, I'm being very mean here, but I felt she only did it because:

A) She doesn't like motor cycles/scooters (could never tell from the way she flew around on it, lol.) and.....here's the big one....

B)It was too messy...that's what she said. They splattered paint (on purpose) on the seat and all over it and I (just my opinion) felt that ruined it for her. She mentioned a couple of times it was messy.

I had to sort of agree with her...didn't love the splotched look, but if it let me ride like the wind, I would have kept it.

I just checked that my new mac works with real player because I'm gearing up for BB...all is in working condition! ;) Meanwhile J&K are keeping me busy ;)

If you don't want the world gossiping about your life/divorce don't go on TV and exploit your 8 kids and your marriage. I am so passionate about these people because of their kids. If it were just Jon and Kate and no 8, no one would give a rats crap about them.

The reality show industry is not that new anymore...we all know what it's about, you hold yourself out there to the public and we the public get to voice our opinions as often and as loudly as we please.

I'm pretty sure you could throw all the money in the world at me and I still would never put my family through making a reality show, that follows our every move. Not that I think I couldn't handle it but because I trust in history. It's common knowledge that almost all reality couples end up divorcing, I wouldn't go against history. I could only think of one couple that didn't end in divorce and was Ozzie and Sharon but their kids paid a mjor price.

Reader I said as much the other day hun. Not sure why but it got me TOTALLY addicted. Almost as much as BB! Think the fact my back is shot from a month of miserable weather and I'm bored out of my mind has helped contribute to this weird addiction of mine lol.

We'll have to make her a BB fan if she isn't, don't you think :-) Watch now once BB starts the weather will be gorgous. I swear I may cry when i see the sun again. Sad but true!

I've watched a total of one Dugger show and was about an older son on a honeymoon so I didn't get it. I haven't heard good things should I be watching?

I agree with your assesment Cricket! I do know my parents bought a scooter, but when my son (20 at the time I think) took a fall on it - they sold it right away! So I was wondering if maybe she took a spill, but I think it far more likely she didnt like the messy look...

Pssssst we're not supposed to talk about the Duggars in here unless it relates to this show. There IS a 17 and Counting thread. Or maybe they changed it to 18 and Counting after Jordyn-Grace was born.

LOL dont get started Lurk! I'm not addicted to the Duggars - but I sure would like to know how they got to the point where they are all so well behaved!

and I sure hope you dont get this miserable HEAT wave we're under here in Chicago! Gadz its HOT!

Now I know there has been comparisons of reality break ups - but I think there are just as many success stories... well so far! (and look at the Hollywood rate of divorce - so many temptations??) I think of Ryan and Trista, (how is My Fair Brady doing? married or divorced?) ok my mind is on tv and dh is talking to me - but I came up with just as many married Reality people as I did divorced!! lol

whoops point taken Serate sowwyy!!

As for the scooter, I'll cynically toss in one more option. Right now clearly Kate is all about public opinion. Perhaps she liked the charitable image more than said messy scooter??

Yes, I think Kate really didn't want the scooter and giving it away is great PR!

Pssst... IMO Duggars = cult = brainwashing -- that's how those kinds mind so well I tell ya!

Lol, Brenda..you mean 'kids?' They are well behaved (Duggars) but I think the first ones parent the send and third set, so that helps.

Re the video of worst moments, I like the idea of switching roles. It would have been a great Halloween idea...they could see what the other thinks they act like.

I ROFL'd when Jon said he called the trainer at the gym a "fuzzy bunny" compared to Kate and then went on to say she was nice compared to..umm...uh oh. LOL!

I've read through the thread and can't find anything regarding Kate not wanting to go to counseling. Is that something that recently came out or is it old news? Thanks.

Cricket, that's what Kate's brother said. I'm still not 100% convinced I trust him and Aunt Jodie, but to state that as such a fact I'm thinking it's true, esp since they didn't go to counseling or ever speak of it.

Did they switch roles at some point? I still haven't watched them all (been too busy posting here hehehe)

I think it was back in May when this all first came out, and that it was stated in the tabloids. I don't think there is any video of Kate saying she didn't want marriage counseling.

I could be wrong. I did think again, and that is twice in one day! *L*

I have never been a regular watcher or this show - maybe because there isn't enough cooking on it? However, I have enough life experience to be able to say that I am sure happy parents - whether married or divorced - rear happier children than unhappy parents.

I am not at all sure that Kate is going to be ABLE to work hard to insure that she is fair to Jon about co-parenting times and rights. However, if she doesn't, I think it is going to come back to bite her big time.

There will be no more trips for speaking engagements, book tours, special times away with just one of the kids, etc. Leaving home without Jon being there would entail using - HORRORS! - a nanny or a carer or a minder or a sitter - or whatever else child care help might be called.

Sooooo, a wise woman will build in LOTS of daddy-time! We'll see!

Also - one of Jon's ALLEGED girlfriends is ALLEGED to be 24 and another 26. If he were 52 or MAYBE even 42, that is an age difference. Lots of 30-something guys date gals in their 20's!

Thanksfully that is all for now as one of my cooking shows is about to begin!

Thanks, Lurk and Serate. I'd read a couple of posts talking about it, so I was curious. I believe the brother. He knows his sister and he described her as being a very strong personality growing up.

Counseling may have been not having control for Kate or maybe she didn't want anyone to know, but now everyone knows everything anyway.

After watching the worst moments tape, I'm not sure counseling would have helped. You can see by that point, Jon was already very unhappy.

ETA: In my post above to Brenda meant to say,

"The older kids parent the second and third set.

LOLOLOL Bee too funny (and too true). To be honest with you, N&V STILL scares me to go over there hehehe.

And what Obama thingy? Man I was just reality chick tonight. Imagine lol!

And I will keep this on topic too...earlier had started watching and just finished the Family Xmas episode. It was the holiday before last I think, and they were kissing and being sweet and MAN it was sad. Guess when they are sniping it makes this not seem so bad, but to see them fairly happy is depressing.

His Health Care infomercial, Lurky. On ABC.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's not an infomercial. Meet me in N&V if you'd like to discuss it. LOL
