- Jon did yell and get impatient quite frequently with the children didn't he? Kate was matter of fact and rarely yelled at them...actually having a hard time thinking of any moment where she was snarky to the children.

Here's the real problem for all the non divorced people.Its always a blame game unless your split was amicable.With Jon and Kate quite frankley both are to blame.who gets married and when your marriage breaks down of ten years mind you doesen't seek professional help. Kate is ****** and controlling but Jon was a pushover and admittedly let Kate have her way. Any smart human being knows relationships don't work that way. My advice to them is protect your children and stop putting sole blame on each other

- First of all, I will be honest, I watched this show frequently. I enjoy reality shows and this was my favorite. It saddens me that this couple couldn't work things out. Oh by the way, you can b**** all you want about my comment, does not hurt my feelings:) I always found Kate was abrupt with Jon, but honestly if she didn't take charge, who would?? He certainly didn't have the balls to do it, or at least that is what we were led to believe. I think they both set their selves up for this, if they had of worked on their relationship before this escalated, then maybe this wouldn't be happening to them. I feel for the children, the ones who will suffer the most. They are a lot of oh I wish they had of done this or that to save their marriage, too little too late now. Yes Jon took a lot of s*** from Kate and Kate had to step up and take control, I felt alot of the time her anger was resentment that Jon never stepped up and took control and she was always telling him what to do next, she needed a man/father who could take control, so she lashed out anger that he wasn't capable of this. I watched this show for a long time, Jon wasn't abused, he was bossed around yes but not abused. In the episode where they announced the divorce, I was so pissed at Jon, talking about his second chance and he was excited, how he never got to do things for himself... OMG grow the f*** up! 8 children and he is whinning about not having time for himself, lol. Well that would be life if you have that many children. I have one and time to myself is rare, naptime and bed, that is it and that is all I need. With parenting comes responsibility and I think both Jon & Kate need to keep their act together for the children and think about them. Whine and cry in the privacy of their bedroom when no one can hear them, other than that, don't do the blame game to the media, it will get back to the children eventually. Ok, I have ranted enough. As a fan of this family, I hope they both can find happiness in the future and the least amount of harm to the children the better!

- This is a very sad situation. I don't doubt for a moment that these parents love their children but I think it is time to end the show. These children should not be coping with the divorce of their parents in front of a camera. It disturbs me that this marriage has been crumbling for two years now yet there was big deal made of their vow renewal.
Shame on Kate for getting wrapped up in the celebrity of the show. I understand that it was a wonderful opportunity, initially, to make sure there were college funds for her children but she is fooling herself if she believes it has nothing to do with the break up of her marriage.
Shame on Jon for being such a child. Just how hard did he try to communicate his dissatisfaction with the marriage to Kate and how hard did he try to make it right. How does he think opting out of the marriage is in the best interests of the children. I don't think one should necessarily stay in a miserable marriage but by all reports these two have not done the work needed to either save the marriage or end it properly.
Finally, shame on all of us for being voyeurs into these people's lives. We make celebrities out people who ill deserve the celebrity...Paris Hilton is a case in point. It's time to demand accomplishment and good behaviour from to those we hold in high regard. - Reply to this comment
- Jon needed Kate to take control because he did not know what to do. He always sat around like he was lost or something. He had little or no patience with the kids. They needed a dad to be involved in their lives. They were becoming very spoiled. Kate was the one who disciplined with respect. He would just ask "what should I do?" Then he would put them in their chairs roughly or yell at them. He was a jerk to Kate. He knew not to show it or say anything to her with the cameras around. I'm sure he treated her badly off camera. One thing for sure-he was cheating on her. I would be short with him too if I had to live with him. He only wanted to play with them when it was something he liked such as skiing or golfing. If it was anything else, he was pretty hands off. I hope they continue the show with Kate taking care of the kids on her own. I hope he has to finally get a job again and pay lots of child support. I also think that any woman who wants anything to do with him while he is still married is scum. What goes round comes around. Maybe he'll come down with something. I wish Kate happiness. She is better off without him and the kids will benefit. I don't like the idea of him spending time in the home and them taking turns. This is a stupid idea especially for the kids. Who would want their ex in their home and have to go elsewhere to live? This is probably Jon's idea to get out of child support. He needs to get a job and a life.

- unfortunately, too often people spew out their "opinion" before thinking about how it may sound, whether it makes sense, or whether it will cause additional harm to others. i have found through life that the people most likely to judge have not suffered much hardship of their own. people who have been in similar situations realize all to well that there is more than one side to this story, and that there are usually no "perfect" or "ideal" solutions for everyone.
everyone involved is suffering. those who truly care can empathize with the pain they are feeling. it's obvious this is difficult for them. i am not sure even they understand how difficult it will be down the road - for everyone involved. i hope that the happy times they have spent together will be a strength to them through this major event in their lives. one positive note in all of this is that the children are close and they have each other. kate and jon worked to develop this relationship between their children, it doesn't just happen by accident. this was one of the greatest gifts they could have given their kids. i wish them the best. they need every bit of hope and good wishes they can get. - Reply to this comment
- BOTH ARE GUILTY FOR BREAKING UP THIS FAMILY!!! But I side with the guy on this one.
Jon - he has a lot of growing up to do. What guy doesn't though? Is there one guy out there that a woman would not have 1 little pet peeve about him. I don't think so.
Kate - she needs a reality check. From day 1 to now, the family's fame and fortune has gone to her head. She takes that over the peace in their family. Knowing full well that there were some issues between her and Jon, she chose to fulfill the show over meeting the husband's needs. Both spouses need each other's support. I've seen go one way so far.. it's been Jon who was supportive. No job is more important than your family. Forget all the glam and items you get for having more money. I'd rather be in debt and be happy with my family than be rich and alone. Money is the root of all evil. Money drives greed and hunger. - Reply to this comment
- Let's find out what Jon is made of. Let's say Kate is in emotional turmoil and needs to leave the kids with Jon for how ever long it takes. Let's gauge Jon's reaction when he becomes sole caretaker to his 8 children with no idea when Kate is coming back. I bet the grass no longer looks greener on the other side! Big bad Jon might as well shelve his lil sports car and motorcycle, no room there for the kids. Jon is all about Jon. If Kate is a shrew, Jon chose her, then proceeded to make these 8 children, now Jon get off your ass and do the most important job you will ever have. If you mess this up there isn't much else left of your life and when you're an old man you will regret the fallout.

- kate has seen her mistakes and would of sought help and asked jon for forgiveness. don't tell me she is the only woman in america who has berated her man. women will change to keep the family together where as men find it an opportunity to bow out. she wasn't thinking of another man and staying out all nite and shaming the famiy in public. jon could of cared less, this was his chance to not mend his marriage but a chance to go have a good time and not play daddy to 8. come on at least she has admitted failure, he sits there and gloats with pride that he just had poor judgement. you learn from your hurt and mistakes and rebuild, not jon he is like a dog on a hydrant, can't wait for more action. with his shape he must hae viagra cuz he is no stud by all means. check out kate in a 2-piece, she is a knock out for his short fat bod. i am sure he will not stop runnning to the bars as that is where his twit fans are. i doubt if he gets a job and goes to church to show us a descent side to his new life. i think any man who leaves a woman with 8 kids deserves nothing good in life. those kids need a full time dad and i am sure kate will change her ways and show a humble and regrettful side and god will give her the man she deserves for her kids. she will be successful even without the show, at least she showed remore and sorrow. jon is cold and callus.

- kate will come out of this disgrace jon put her thru with her head held up high. she is a beautiful, intelligent, loving mother who should continue the show alone with the children as a mother struggling to raise 8 children by herself. jon deliberatly shamed her on purpose making it impossible for no other outcome. he is selfish, immature and does not want the responsibility of being a father full time to the kids he helped conceve. he wants to drink and hang out with young girls instead of cmmitting himself to the one obligation no man should ignore. having 8 kids and leaving your partner to raise alone is a man who has no real love for the meaning of the word family. what if kate wanted out to go be with other men, smoke grass and show the world by pictures of his reckless irresponsibility. she would be hated and called many degrading names. jon put pic out of deanna at there home sunbathing which was so disgusting and him out all nite, leaving her home early in the morning. what man who loved his kids would stay out all nite and know the tabloids would be catching his every move. deanna should be fired from the school she teaches at as she is totally a poor example of a teacher. on kates b-day he is shown with her out in public, he was still married and this shows what a disgrace this man is. he could not even be discreet for the sake of the children. he wanted to hurt kate and that he did with the most utter poor taste. she was on his ass but you could tell he had to be told things as he certainly had little interest in his obligations. now he displays his loving side to the kids playing out front to show what a devoted dad he really is, thinking the tabloid pics of him will show a different side. the public can't be fulled. he should of sought counseling and if that did not work he should of privately ended there marriage.i am outraged at the hurt and shame he put upon his wife and kids claiming 'poor judgement'. as you will see in his new life he will run around with women and drink and party. he is nothing but the average 'dirtbag' that deserts his family cuz he wants a different life for himself. i want him off the show for good and let him squander the profit he made off his kids on his meaninless life he has chose. there are 8 kids at stske here and to leave your wife alone to raise is someone who thinks only of himself. he says 'i am only 32 and hae my whole life ahead of me'what a statement to make. what does kate have-responsibilities for many many years to come. i wish her happiness and bless the strong woman she is no matter what the public says about her. if he writes a book about her i pray god seeks revenge. this is the mother of his kids, who in there right mind would even think this thought. you have brought her to her knees with betrayal that is enough. get out of the picture we are not interested. you are just like the man who gets a girl pregnant and runs. you are not that hot hunk of a man you think you are, when your money is gone there isn't much there, kate deserves better. she realizes her mistakes but you sit there with the look of relief like 'oh boy am i gonna have a good time' you are not thinking of a career only the side of an irresponsible idiot. lets see what the tabloids show of your new life jon. i am sure it will show who you really are and your kids will google you and those pics will never go away.

- Famous people can feel pain about divorce too!
It's a tough thing--and I am sure Kate IS learning from this but is trying to maintain some balance for herself. What do you people expect--her to stand up, have a news conference and take 100% of the blame...??? When it wasn't all her fault....
People whio are divorcing are going through a grieving process. Some of you seem so heartless. If she made mistakes or treated her husband badly, this may be how she learns her lessons, but if any of you have gone through an ugly divorce, you ought to know that if you don't hold yourself together in some way, you end up really losing.
This is hard for Katre on many levels--if she is a control freak or OCD then surrendering control to others, to lawyers, to the public is going to play havoc with her. It's her nature and she has to re-program amd relearn" a lot of things. Give her some time to process before you slam her.
Jon id doing what most dad's do--trying to get out of it with as many of the assets he can and I will guarantee you we will see more of his bad behavior surfacing--he will appear on tabloid after tabloid, drunk, acting badly and dating a whole slew of girls--his next "wife" will have to sign a pre-nup to have no children blah blah blah... - Reply to this comment
- No one can make Jon out to be a victim. No one. He has gotten plenty out of this for himself, his future is financially set and he will continure to benefit from work Kate does.
So his wife put him down--TV loves that. Half the sitcoms in America are built around the story of a man who has a wife that is on his case all the time--- Seems to me Jon Geosselin is coming out of this with a multi-million dollar bank account, sports cars and BMWs motor cycles, a salary from TLC, and the freedom to sate (and pollinate) whomever he chooses. BAck to his old self-now? He feels like he is now the person "he knows he is" Well if you know you're an *******, that's great! - Reply to this comment
- Kate has constantly berated Jon over and over, if he starts to talk, she interupts him and finishes what she thought he should say treating him like he's an idiot. He just got tired of it and you can't blame him. She yells at him, slaps him like he's a play thing and puts him down. She has no regard to his feelings. The children will be better off with them being divorced because there has to a lot of tension between the two of them that the children feel. Divorce is not the end of the world. My children did fine after our divorce because they had 2 loving parents who did'nt talk against each other, which Kate should learn not to do.

- OK... now, with Jon out of the way... now Kate can turn the full force of her personality onto the children.

- I don't think that people should say that the divorce happen b/c of this or b/c of that. The only thing that matters is the 8 kids involved. They are the ones that are going to be hurt and that hungry1968-15 is were the right wing dingbats are. I don't care about thier marriage, if they had a problem and can't figure out how to fix it without ruining the children's lives then I guess they need to take time apart until they work it out or they need to get a divorce.
If people want to talk about something talk about how horrible this situation is for these children and nothing else. - Reply to this comment
