That is a good story OG. However, the Miller did not sign his son or donkey up for a reality TV show!!

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/35195434.html#cutid1 This week's magazine articles. The People one makes me very sad, and I think it's probably the more reliable of the reporting. Kate explains a LOT of things, and many of us here have already figured much of it out. It sounds like she has been running damage control for a long time, while Jon "finds himself".

The miller probably would have if he could have. Because if he hadn't people would have said, "What a fool to pass up that money and opportunity to make a better life for his family."

Good point, OG. And hopefully there were those who chose not to nitpick and judge and just saw a father, a son and their donkey.. perhaps even thought, how nice that they are walking together. And maybe they didn't rush to the local well to criticize.

Exactly Jimmer. I read somewhere that Kate said the People article was probably the closest to the truth. I just don't think Kate is that good of an actress to be hiding this other life.

OH MY do the tabloids read TVCH?????????????? I posted this on May 9th Besides, maybe it's NOT cheating. Maybe she knows about the affair - if there is one - and is ok with it as long as Jon doesn't touch her, and nobody finds out. But when people found out then it upset her. I knew a couple who stayed married for the kids - and $$ sake - and had their own little love flings. Each was ok that the other did it as long as nobody found out. And now the tabloids are saying that there was a contract that Jon could have a girlfriend as long as it was private. Hot diggity dog the tabloids read what we post here!

I seriously wouldn't doubt that and then they quote it as 'a reliable source said'

Actually I was kidding. Is it an insult that a tabloid would call me a reliable source? *L*

Those kids probably have seen a lot more than I would have imagined. But such is life, mom and dad fight-a lot. I wonder why it's only Kate that is talking? Because Jon will only do TV that he's contractually obligated to do and Kate is on a book tour and has those obligations. If it wasn't her book tour do you think she's still respond to all the stories out there about her and Jon? I wonder if she gets off somehow on this spectacle, I wonder if Kate is hiding money, I wonder if Jon is finding himself a good lawyer, I wonder if the kids know that mommy and daddy aren't exactly in love with one another, I wonder if the kids know the stories about both their parents having relationships with others, I wonder too much about these people.

This sums up the problem that I have with this whole thing. What Jon and Kate choose to do in their personal life outside of the TV show should only be up to them. If Jon has an affair and Kate chooses to look the other way for whatever reason that should be her decision. If Jon says he is not having an affair, the woman says they are not having an affair and if Kate says that is fine with her then that should be where the whole thing ends.

What's interesting is people are mad at Kate for treating Jon badly and they are mad that she hasn't come out and blasted him for his behavior. What is it about us as a society (or maybe it's just women) that seem to get angry at the woman if she forgives an affair?

Right, what they do in private should be left there but I'm still curious.

That's an interesting observation Texannie. I do get the impression that some people would prefer to see marriages fail as the result of one of the partners straying as opposed to them working through it and remaining married. It is curious. Almost a get even sort of thing. It is almost like they feel that Jon cheated on them as well as Kate.

I do hope they work things out. I'm not one that thinks a one time affair (and this is not saying I think Jon or Kate have had an affair(s))is an absolute deal breaker. I on the other hand do think that treating a spouse like as one of their children is a deal breaker, personally speaking. I wonder if they didn't have their tv show and were left to their own if this marriage wouldn't already have been over, legally speaking.

I just find it really sad that their children are being dragged through all of this messiness...these parents needs to grow up and put their children first. Kate needs counseling to deal with her control issues and Jon needs counseling to deal with his immaturity.

"What a fool to pass up that money and opportunity to make a better life for his family." Honestly, I think each and every one of those kids would have been much better off WITHOUT the money and the spotlight (and criticism) that comes with that spotlight. So the foolish thing here (and yes this is only MY OPINION) is that they did not stop while they were ahead. I think they could have gotten quite a nice chuck of change if they stopped after a special or two or a season or two. Instead they kept going and going. Letting all of America see just how "crabby" Mady can be and just how demeaning Kate can be. I think they let the $$ get the best of them and I think they are having to pay big time right now. Sure they live in an awesome house and they have the $$ saved for the kids' college education. But is it worth it? I do not think so. (And before I get blasted, remember this is my opinion and I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to blast people for their opinions.) ETA: this is in no way saying that I think they deserve this. I absolutely do not. I think the whole thing is sad. Kate did not deserve this. Jon kind of made his bed, but really I feel bad and sad for the entire family.

It takes TWO to make a marriage and it takes TWO to break a marriage. IF Jon cheated - and I think cheating is the cowards way out - the marriage was probably in dire straits before he cheated. In no way am I saying if he cheated it was Kate's fault. Just saying that the cheating didn't cause the marriage to break. Might be the end of marriage if he did cheat, but it's not what broke the marriage. I find it interesting that there is no talk of marriage counseling. But it is their business if they want to do it or not. I do not feel sorry for Jon. I do not feel sorry for Kate. I do feel sorry for the kids.

WOW and WHOA. I didn't even get thru all of those articles. All I have to say is this whole thing is so sad. I am not even a big Kate Fan and I have a very hard time believing some of the things her own brother says. But I have heard them over and over again, so maybe they are true. I cannot believe that Kate did not come home as soon as this thing got messy. She talks about how she called her kids and talked to them, but she did not come home. That is insane. This whole thing is too depressing.

They should have been in counseling this whole time! It seems each one wants to be "right" and that really distroys a marriage. When you see the clips where Maddy acts out and says things like "You aren't my boss" is she merely repeating things she has heard between her parents? I think all of us have heard our words come out of our children's mouth...it is a big eyeopener!

Those articles are disgusting...as far as the brother and sister-in-law go, if I were Kate, I'd be happy to not have contact with them. Funny that they say that Kate needs the attention from the press...evidently it's okay for them to sell their souls for a few minutes in the spotlight. Of course, they claim it's for the kids. Nothing like airing all kinds of dirty laundry to "save the children".

This was just on TMZ. Listen to the short podcast titled "Mojo Bumps into Kate Gosselin". It's 8 minutes long but they are done talking about Kate 4.5 minutes into it. http://mojo.channel955.com/cc-common/podcast.html eta: I guess he's a famous DJ.

I guarantee I have never said to my husband 'you aren't the boss of me' yet both my kids have said it to me at least once in their life. Kids do that when they dont want to do something.
