Nothing personal, but when people come into a thread and start dishing out advice to "not watch a show, don't do this or that", it's quite frustrating. The same can be said that if the thread bothers someone, then they shouldn't read it. There are various points of view posted in this thread if you take the time to read it. Furthermore, Kate's behavior has been as you described towards posters here... "meaness and anger" towards her husband and anyone else that doesn't do what she wants, when she wants it for the past two - three years is why many people here don't like her, and express their point of view.
Back to the discussion, ajzjmsmom, I agree with a point you made. My father left my mother, brother and I back in the 70's when most women were still stay at home mom's and didn't have a lot of work experience. We had NOTHING, and my mother had two pre-teen kids to raise, get herself through college and work to support us. It was extremely difficult, but she did it.
Kate's whining and acting like a martyr when she has to do something by herself drives me nuts. She's a millionaire and a celebrity for crying out loud. I know what she's going through is painful and hard to adjust to, but she doesn't have to depend on Jon supporting those kids or to do anything else. She can hire someone to do things she can't or won't do, or she can continue to get her freebies, which a lot of women don't have the luxury of doing.
Kate needs to buck up and put her big girl pants on. She's in a much better position than most women going through divorce with kids. Yes Jon has been acting like a jerk lately, but she needs to grow up already, a lot of women go through it and live through it. She should definitely stop putting him down and acting like a witch, which is one of the contributing factors of her current situation. She also needs to remember that right now, those little kids LOVE their father and will resent her for acting like this.

Yes, Kate has shown more meanness and anger toward her own husband than any of us have shown to her. She is responsible for her situation.

I agree with you on this. When I dvorced my first husband I was careful not to slam him in front of them and as they grew older and he was absent from their lives by his choice they began to realize what a deadbeat he was all on their own. I just can't understand why Kate and some posters on here seem to think it is okay to belittle another person. To me Kate is a bully and she will bully anyone who will let her.

She'll learn her lesson the hard way. When the gravy train is gone and she can't make her millions off of exploiting her children anymore, and then someone she actually needs gets fed up and tells her exactly where to stick her attitude, she just might get it. Or perhaps it will take hubby # 2 leaving her.

it is never OK to belittle someone but it is better to find out why they are doing that--is it cause--a--they are getting belittled and put down behind closed doors or b they have been emotionally hurt by the person they belittled or c a variety of reasons ---many stemming from their own inner pain/insecurities
these people really need support and personal therapy to change

I really agree with you. I had turned on the show just to see what everyone was talking about & I thought that she seemed like an open and caring mom with eight well-behaved children . I was impressed by her, actually.
The husband seemed sort of loopy and very much in the distance.
But, neither one seemed like a terrible person. I really don't understand so much animosity toward total strangers.
