The end of Jon and Kate

What is wrong with me that I'm so upset about them divorcing? Does this show a great weakness in me? For heavens sake-somebody talk some sense into me!!!!!!

If you think I'm devastated right now, you're right. Why is that?

I am no help because I am so sad for those kids. And can I just say, no offense to Kate fans, but I think she is just a little too controlling.

I almost blogged this same thing. I could cry for the little munchkins. All I heard was "for the kids", but their parents are certifiable if they think doing any of this on TV was "for the kids".

I will sadly admit that I shed many tears on Monday while watching that episode. Talk about depressing! I can't believe they've come to this (divorce) but refuse to communicate and fix their problems. It's SOOOO sad! Who wants to watch their whole divorce played out on TV now, talk about a total downer.

I'm with everyone else, I'm so sad. My girls are totally worked up about it too. "Who's going to take care of ALL those kids?" I'm sad that they won't have Jon around all the time (even though he is going through a midlife crisis or something, and his wife is way too controling) The kids need both parents. So sad...

Me too. I don't get to watch the show down here, but I have been following what has happened. My question...what happened to the vow renewal thing a while back. Was that just for a free trip to Hawaii? I also feel for the kids. I really wanted them to make it to show people that marriage can be done and you don't always have to get divorced! Bummer...

Okay, I totally just realized that I posted as Heather...my sister that is visiting. Whoops...sorry! It was really Amanda.

I KNOW!!! I think it had to have been for the free trip. Or TLC offered it to them and they didn't want to admit they were having problems. Who knows. But it's sad that after 7 months of "problems" they're just calling it quits and not trying to work it out w/ counseling. It sounded like Kate doesn't want this, but Jon is so outta there. He said he was "excited" about this! Messed up people!!

Cyd...you know I'm with you. I'm so sad. If this shows a weakness in you then I'm right there with you. You know I was always a bigger fan of Jon vs. Kate but now...not so much. I think he's just running away. As you said..."excited". Are you kidding? He's having a midlife crisis at 32.

All I could focus on was the fact that Jon had pierced his ears! He is seriously dealing with things different than Kate - sheesh!

(i may or may not have watched Monday's episode twice)

I think he got a little more than he bargained for. He is smothered by kids and a controlling wife. He has been striped of his "provider/protector" responsiblities and is floundering.

I think Kate has sold her soul to the materialistic devil. The show was suppose to record memories of their kids, but he kids are hardly the focus. It's all the drama of Kate and Jon. She should listen to him and drop the show. Allow him to be the provider and be the "stay at home" she promised to be in her book.

Yes I'm obsessed by this show. Or shall I say was. I stopped following their every move when I realized I was supporting their materialism/fame/gross lack of judgement. They are NOT thinking of their kids. They are making a buck. Kids can be happy in a 800 sq ft mold infested house with TWO happy parents. I've done it. My kids were happy. You don't need money to raise happy children.

PRIORITIES!!!

I know it appears that Jon is just taking off and not working on issues, but we only see what the producer shows us. I wouldn't be surprised if Jon HAS tried to work on things but Kate has such a strong personality that he knows there is no chance of changing her. For those of us who have fewer kids than Kate, do you wonder when she gets the time to work out, shop for her nice clothes, get her nails and hair done, AND write a book?

I can't read everyone else's comments because I'll get mad if I don't agree with them, BUT I didn't sleep Monday night because I was so sad for the family. Like it or not, most of us relate to Kate because we ALL snap at our husbands in stressful situations and expect him to forgive us and stay committed. SO, SO SAD.

Hey, I'm right there with you girl. I'm so upset and obsessed with watching ALL the time now.
