I HAVE COMPASSION FOR HER AND THE KIDS--no one should have a loser father or husband whether they may be abrasive at times or not---kate is still the number one CONSISTENT figure in the kids lives! (without a parade of loser male friends)

I always find it annoying when celebrities (and wanna be celebrities) do everything they can to become famous and enjoy the perks (ie "freebies") of their celebrity then complain when they actually get the attention they've been craving and act like the paparazzi are villains. YES, I don't agree when they surround someone's car and actually become hazardous to innocent bystanders. But there are PLENTY of celebrities (Julia Roberts is one who was HUGE and has fallen out of the endless pages of Hollywood gossip) who manage to do the work they love (acting, singing, etc) and not go to the hot spots where they will be photographed.
I will bet good money that Kate and Jon have celebrity handlers who call in tips telling the paparazzi where they'll be. Do you honestly think they didn't know in advance that Jon was heading to the Riviera or that Kate would be in a bikini on that particular beach? If they enjoy the perks of celebrity (while not actually doing anything to make them worthy of it), then they get to "enjoy" the negatives. Neither one of them is in it for the kids. Kate seems to believe that if she says "I do everything for the kids" enough times, it may actually be true. Perhaps someone should tell her that heading incessantly to the tanning booth is a surefire way to get melanoma and surely dying of skin cancer isn't "for the kids." I can't wait for the kids to write "tell all" books and do the talk show circuit. Now that I would actually watch.

The lady (I think her name was Carla) was always with them and doing stuff around the garage. Kate stayed inside and always has, and that's why I have a problem with her revisionist statements about how she loves to eat outside. SHE never did anything outside and if sending the kids outside was just because of the mess, that is not a picnic.
Anyway...it's not a big deal. Either you like Kate or you don't. I don't. I don't like Jon either but I'll be darned if she is going to act like a totally different person that those of us who watched for years know her to be. She doesn't get to fool all of us into her being a victim of her husband's mid-life crisis and pretend to be super mom. She was the engineer on this train wreck and is finding out firsthand how lonely it is at the top.
Personally I can't stand watching the show for more than 5 min.
We're supposed to be impressed? What do they do besides raise a family? I've done everything she's done, except make my kids earn their way. I can't stand her attitude, would love to met her some day!

working with men like jon and the women that marry them gave me a sense of compassion--kate i am sure is not the evil cause of the problems--nor is jon as innocent as some feel!

This is the key phrase, Kate chose Jon and probably chose him because he was easily manipulated. She has said many times that she saw Jon and had to have him.
I sure would rather have a man like Jon than a alcoholic that beats the crap out of me. Been there, done that.
I am sure in your line of work you have seen many situations that most of us on here have no clue about but you can't compare the situation between Jon and Kate to the men and women you have worked with, because we only know what they chose for us to know. There is alot of speculation going on based on what we hear in the press and the press is not always correct.
The trainwreck rolls on. The latest report is that after the next 8 episodes (which I WILL NOT watch) Jon - being the hot commodity (translated - mess) he is - will be getting his own show. http://dlisted.com/node/33116
This is my fault in part - when Survivor was among the first reality shows - i watched and became hooked on reality tv. Reality shows have ruined us - its disgusting and these people need to go away - yesterday!

And what's sad is that she admitted on television that her kids call her by the babysitter's name. Not exactly what I would call a "consistent" parent. Both of them have totally lost touch with their children. If their kids are living in a house where the "consistent" parent is the one who is gone only 5 days a week instead of all 7, that is beyond pathetic. I have no problems with parents who work (I myself worked full time until my oldest was 4), but not once, in all the daycare/babysitters/trips to relatives homes, did my child ever mistake me for someone else. She knew who her mother was and I worked hard to make sure she received as much attention as was humanly possible. Kate seems to be "making time" for the kids when she's not off self-promoting. Jon...well, he's a waste of fresh air.
I rarely watch the show anymore. But I did see the thing about liking to have picnics outside.
Some folks are just so quick to judge Kate and call her a liar, they only listen to HALF of what she says.
She made the comment about preferring to eat outdoors whenever she can because then the MESS stays outside and now that the kids are bigger and can help bring things outside...
Make more sense now people?
Ya. got it. I've seen every episode except one, and the statement struck me as forced. Maybe the producer made her make a statement about eating outside, and that's why it sounded fake. Most people don't narrate their lives for the cameras. I didn't say she was a liar, I just said it sounded forced.
