Somehow I really believe that if she had treated Jon better and didn't believe that she was always right and that everything had to be her way or the highway, I don't think that she would be in the position that she is in today. I watched their show from the very beginning and he was very much a great hands on Dad who showed his kids lots of love and he worked very hard at taking care of the kids and around the house. He was in no way lazy. I truly don't understand why he is so disliked. Yes, he did go off the deep end and do many things he should not have done, and I hope that he gets his act back together for the sake of his kids, who dearly love their Dad. Before Kate kicked him to the curb he was so good. Geesh, he used to bring her coffee in bed in the morning. Please someone explain to me what was so bad about him before they moved into the mansion that Kate so badly wanted to have for "her kids".

What was so bad about Jon was that he used the pink hair scrunchies! Don't you know, you save the pink ones for a special occasion? Jon, can't you ever do anything right?!?!

I don't care how many kids Kate had, I think she would have been a control freak and rolled her eyes at them and made nasty little comments at her husband. I think it's just her nature, her personality. I haven't seen the new 9 by design show, but I'm interested in seeing it now, to see the other parenting style because I don't like Kates. I use it as a model of what not to do!

Can you please cite where this "fact" comes from?

I'm a Kateophile from the beginning. I can't wait to see her new show.

I kind of like the old saying that you can't be a doormat unless you lie down and give the other person permission to walk all over you.

Plus I do admire her for not having selective abortions on those little babies.

To me that statement reminds me of a quote from "About Last Night:"

Danny: Hey, know one thing - I never screwed around on you.
Debbie: Oh, well, let's just give the boy a medal! I didn't realize it was such a sacrifice.

I have heard (I am not going back to find the proof) that some members of her family wanted her to abort some of the fetus' because they thought that was too many children to have at one time. I am just saying I am glad she didn't. Never said she deserved a medal or Jon either for that matter.

It's just a risk you know upfront. I do think it is good that she did not "get selective" and I knew when I had IUI and IVF that no matter what, I would not "be selective" either. Not quite sure "ADMIRE" is the word I would use.

I guess because many other people have had selective abortions, the word "admire" could be used. But it just brings me back to the feeling about being admired for something that should already happen...

And I agree with whoever posted above just how wonderful a father and husband Jon was shown as being in many episodes. He did quite a nosedive later on, but there was a good long stretch where he worked his butt off with the kids and with Kate. Back in the "good ole days!!"

I have read the same thing too about some in her family wanting her to do selective reduction and that's what cause the riff.
I can't fault anyone who in that situation chose to do selective reduction. I was faced with that possibility with the drugs I was given, and to be honest, if all the eggs had fertilized, I don't know what I would have done. So, I do admire them for being strong in their convictions.
I always thought Jon was a good father. I think Kate is a good mother. They just weren't a good couple.

I think it is good that a woman has a choice. I don't think anyone really knows what they would do until they are faced with that decision. I can't fault anyone either for whatever decision they make.

Hopefully things will settle down and J & K will work together to be good parents.

I have never watched this show other than a minute or two channel surfing, but I saw a commercial at the movie theater yesterday about the show starting back up. I was amazed at how BIG the little ones have grown!

Wow! I'm so glad I wasn't at the movie theater, Tntitanfan. Why a TV Ad at a movie? That's very annoying. How much money does TLC have??

I guess movie theaters finally realized that there will always be people who get there early, and they might as well make some extra money showing them ads! Of course, they are called something catchy like "Behind the Scenes News," but they are ADS!

I'd rather see ads than a blank screen.

I'd rather just see the movie I came to see. And during intermissions, if any (not that there are real double featuers much any more) I'd probably rather talk to people I came with.

I get there early to get a seat where hopefully I can see, since I'm so short

I'm with Sea. I didn't pay all that money to spend 20 minutes watching commercials. If they think they are so wonderfull then stick 'em at the end and let folks choose to hang around and watch. On the other hand, I don't mind them playing them BEFORE the movie starting time but at my theatre we just get musak and (rarely) the same five movie quiz questions over and over.
