Jon and Kate
i just have to vent- i have been a fan of jon and kate from the beginning. on last night's episode it was revealed that they would be divorcing. it is so sad. i know there have been many accusations from the media etc. but i am sad that all they have been through, 8 children will now have divorced parents. kate has always been a little neurotic and demanding but jon has changed . in earlier interviews he had t-shirts with scriptures on them, references to God and they seemed to be a team. they now do interviews seperately. jon has a shattered skull t-shirt on and 2 diamond earrings. i guess he feels he has been controlled for a long time and it is time to make himself happy at 32 yrs. old. i think it is selfish. you made a choice to be married and can at least work on it, did they go to counseling, did he communicate to kate that he was feeling beaten down and controlled, i don't know but i doubt it. i know that there are situations where divorce is necessary but i do feel that marriage is sacred and has to be given the highest priority to work, whatever has to be done. i know that TLC has halted production of the show. for me i think i am done watching. i do think in a way the show, money, the media etc. has changed them and in essence ruined their marriage and family but that is a choice they have made for themselves in doing the show. i would end the show and work on my family but that's just me and my old fashioned, american, christian values speaking!

i just wanted to say I agree with you. I hardly watch the show, but it is all over the internet and i think it's very disgusting to play that out on national tv. gives me a bad taste in my mouth.
I also watched the episode and I too am saddened by the situation. I wish I could have seen more effort on their part to save the marriage. They kept talking about what was best for the kids and I kept talking to the TV. . . “then try harder to work it out and stay together”. It might seem easier said than done but the kids deserve two loving parents who love each other. I only hope the best for everyone
ok so I bought me some sanuk "slippers" while I was in SD. My sister and i both bought the same ones as you....yoga mat. I like em! So thanks for passing along the comfort!
i think that having their lives on national tv for all those years was a big contributor. and i don't blame jon for this problem. people need to choose wisely and treat kindly. kate did not treat jon the way a husband should be treated. i feel sad for those children.
Kelly I am with you, something Jon's demeanor has changed. I was sad after watching the season openner, it was so apparent that things are very different. I hope those cute kids are okay, Kate's resolve to do what ever it takes will help them through much of the fall out that is to come.
I have never seen the show, but have heard about it, and all that is happening, from friends. It's seems to me that fame and fortune always change people for the worse. Sad.
I have only seen a few episodes here and there, but all the crap in the media about it drives me crazy. I'm sure it's hard to be humble and vulnerable enough properly resolve any kind of marital issues when you are on tv and have everyone in the media who thinks they know everything. I don't know how someone can open their life/marriage to the media like that and not expect it to be more difficult. I agree with you, but I think the situation is too bad. By the way, Brian wiped our computer clean and I don't have your email address anymore. Do you still have mine? Email me and I'll give you our address, I don't really want to put it on the internet. I finished Family Ties, need to have Brian pick up the Fri Night Knitting Club for me-that's next!
You have already recently read my blog and I have gotten to see what divorce does to a family ---WAY too first hand. It is very sad to see a person give up what they made a committment to, in some cases for eternity. I sat and watched Jon and Kate and it SOOOO disappointed me---8 kids---Sheesh
