Oh dear, I made my earlier post based on an article, before I actually watched the segment on Youtube. Personally, I still agree with the article's interpretation of her words, but saying that they hate going to their father's is not a direct quote, only an interpretation of her statement.
(http://celebedge.ca/bang/kate_gosselin_says_children_hate_staying_with_their_dad/32eda8fc)

This is the actual conversation:

Anderson asked when they are with Jon what do you do, Kate replies I basically sit and wait for the phone call for how many of them want to come home.

Kelly says, you’re kidding, so if they want to come home, what happens? Are they allowed to?

Kate replies, it’s a weird thing, that whole law, it’s hard to explain it to your kids, kids who want to be home, playing with their toys and sleeping in their beds and spending time with me. So, as much as that is allowed I’m there for them and I bring them home.

Anderson says, So you’re basically saying they don’t enjoy being with him?

Kate replies, you know some of them do, you know different days different times some of them don’t mind…

Do any of you know what Jon's living arrangements are...near, far, apartment, house?

I caught the episode filmed in Manhattan. I admit the woman just rubs me the wrong way so I usually don't watch this show. It seemed like the only time she was happy and smiling was when people recognized her. Her older daughters are a bit bratty to me but then I also think they're just imitating her to an extent. I thought the boobs hanging out and the high heels were a bit much when you know you're going for a long walk in the park and to an amusement area. One show was enough for me.

I happen to catch the surfing episode.

OMG Mady & Cara are just such BRATS! Are you kidding me.

Kate is miserable, she just doesn't like to do anything. I don't get it with 8 kids you'd think she'd be willing to do everything and anything.

I definitely see a difference in Kate from last year to this year. She is playing too much to the camera, trying to hard, and seems to be more conceited and cutesy than I remember her before. She needs this show to succeed badly and I think she is trying too hard. The kids seem to be a little more spoiled as well.

We must have watched different shows. I saw Kate trying all kinds of new things on their beach trip...even trying to catch dinner. And with all those sick kids on board she did extremely well. I would had a melt down and jumped overboard.

I don't like Kate at all, but I give her props for trying to surf! She really did get out there and get dunked and slammed by those waves. I honestly can't say I would have done the same!

But I agree connie -- I thought it was just that the balance of Jon was missing. That maybe her personality wasn't so grating to me when the both of them were on screen because they kind of toned each other down and muted each other's annoying parts. But I think you may be right in that she's just trying too hard to be clever and witty and it just comes across as so full of herself. With Jon I think she even laughed more.

Yeah I saw that she did try the surfing and the fishing. Good for her! I still find her to be one of the most miserable women out there.

When is this show on? I turn the channel to that station channeling surfing and I can never seem to find it on.

I read a article where Jon said his apartment was small, so it limited what the kids could bring over. Apparently the kids sleep in sleeping bags in the living room. His girlfriend lives there also.

It could afford a larger place if he got a job.

http://www.popeater.com/2010/09/17/hailey-glassman-jon-gosselin/

<snipped from interview, more at the link>

I asked Hailey why, with a new job and dedication to her career, she's still talking about Jon Gosselin at all. "He owes me $200,000," she said candidly. She explained that when they lived together in their Manhattan apartment, her parents wrote her half of the rent check to Jon each month. Little did she know, Jon was pocketing that money and not paying either of their shares of the rent to the landlord. "I was so mad when we were evicted," she said. "Then he comes crying to me, with those little green eyes, that he's in debt, and he's going to be arrested. I said maybe he needed to go to jail. Then he guilted me, you know, with, 'Imagine Mady and Cara's faces when their daddy gets sent to jail.' So I caved, and I gave him the money."

Hailey guesses she paid about $78,000 in taxes on the money she loaned to Jon. "Did you have a trust fund?" I asked.

"Oh, no, I mean that was my life savings, and some money I'd gotten from interviews," she said. (Sometimes it does pay to be at the center of a scandal, huh?)

She had a contract written up for the loan, knowing full well about Jon's inability to handle money. "It's like, I'd sue him to get it back now, but he's not working. He has no money," she said. "And I don't want to take his kids' money. That's different. I will not take anything that belongs to Kate or the kids."

Hailey went on to insist there's no bad blood between herself and Kate. "I think Kate's a great mom," she said. "Jon's not providing for those kids, and she has eight mouths to feed. I know dancing wasn't even a part of their wedding because she was so self-conscious about dancing in front of people. For her to go on 'Dancing with the Stars' took a lot of courage," she laughed. "I mean, obviously, she wasn't the best dancer. But she really did that as a way to support her kids. My parents called in and voted for her like a million times."
