Jon & Kate plus 8 (spoiler, show, house, friends)

This just reaffirms my belief that opposites do not belong together. They may attract at first, but for the long haul, it rarely works. Especially if you don't even share interests. Whether it's sports, or music, the arts - without that commonality you'll probably fail.

Tell me just what real trials these two have faced?
A spouse or child with a terminal diagnosis?
Real unemployment that might mean you are out on the street?
Please,,,,,,,, sing me another song.

Jon refers to the children as "our kids".

Kate refers to them as "my kids."

That tells you all you need to know about her.

She's a self-absorbed b---h. The divorce is her fault.

Yeah, Jon's so innocent. Nice bling-bling in his ears. Talk about a loser.

Kate is about HER kids. Jon is always pawning/ignoring his responsibility TO his children onto Kate...that's why they are "our" kids for him. His fight is with his wife b/c he can't live up to what it takes to be a father of 8. Her fight is for HER KIDS.

He can't possibly function as a responsible father without Kate.

Let there be NO NEXT SEASON!!

The idiots need to stop the madness and get their children out of the spotlight --away from the cameras/paparazzi!! It is disgusting.

This show makes me ill. I feel so bad for the kids....

Jon is immature and Kate is obsessive/compulsive lol.......

As long as people keep tuning it...there more than likely will be another season.
Revolt with your remote!

I love my kids dearly and would die for any of them but I have to remember my husband in the midst of day to day living and I don't know that either Jon or Kate remembered that. I wondered if I would feel bad for Kate but I didn't, she made a comment about not wanting to be alone and I guess she should have thought about that before berating her husband in public. And he should have put his foot down along time ago, I would assume if you LET someone talk to you like that and never say a word then the other person could assume you don't care. I hope for the sake of the kids they can remain civil and perhaps one day be friends.

For a lot of people, when you have kids, they come first. Always. Doesn't mean a date night can't happen, or you can't make time to go away sans kids, but give me a break already.

I have no tolerance for the "what about me?" BS too many parents whine over.

If you didn't have a strong enough marriage to get through having children before you did (whiney spouse) you shouldn't have had any.

Apparently you didn't watch the show long enough to see how they "remembered" eachother in the "midst of day to day".
