Jon and Kate Plus Eight Gets Nasty: Aunt Jodi Tells Her Side
August 23rd, 2008 by Evil BeetYou guys may or may not have noticed, but a certain page of this blog has, in the past months, somehow become a de facto discussion board for Jon & Kate Plus 8 fans (and critics). If you don’t believe me, click here and read the comments.
A popular point of discussion over there is a blog called Truth Breeds Hatred, which is supposedly written by the sister of Aunt Jodi, who is married to Kate Gosselin’s brother. If you watch the show, you know that Aunt Jodi was very involved in the first seasons of the show, basically bending over backwards to accommodate Kate’s every babysitting need — sometimes watching all eight of the Gosselin kids, overnight, in addition to her own four children. For free! And then when she didn’t show up in the most recent season, people started suggesting that Kate was bitter because Jodi’s patient and kind mothering skills were making Kate look awful in comparison, and also noting that the producers offered to pay Jodi for appearing on the current season — she had been doing all of this shit for free up until then — but that Kate put her foot down, said “no one gets paid for this show except our family” and booted Aunt Jodi out of the kids’ lives.
The Truth Breeds Hatred blog discusses all this from an insider’s perspective — confirming the rumors and basically painting Kate as the most horrid, despicable, selfish person on the planet. But was the blog really written by Jodi’s sister? Were the things she said about Kate actually true?
Today, Truth Breeds Hatred ran a video clip of Jodi, who seems genuinely crushed by how Kate betrayed her, and confirming that her sister does write the blog, and that it’s the truth.
I kind of hate how fascinated I am to watch all this play out, but I really do love it.

Anonymous- You crack me up!!! I helped my son move today and it was a long day, but you have given me a good laugh. Keep’em coming.
um…Anonymous…I never said everyone else could not have an opinion…I just said I think people should be fair about Kate…Seems to me that YOU are as eager to jump on opinions as you say I am…You gave lots of “facts” here but please send the links for these “facts” so I can see for myself…ok? We see the few minutes of this and that concerning the kids but that does not mean that is the way things are all the time…I think I’m just a little more realistic than you are and ummmmmmm Anonymous? To put it plainly, you are really gross and way out of line…On this site, in another forum about Kate you had the gall to talk about her hair and then compare it to her pubic hair…Making some kind of sick joke (but you probably were serious) so I’m not even open to anything you say anymore…There is a line that people with morals and class do not cross and you have gone way past it…One last thing…The marcia, marcia, marcia shows your immaturity and the poor, poor me??? What have I said to try and get pity for myself??? hummmmmm? I think I wrote my opinions very calmly and you have JUMPED me more than once for mine so join the TYPE A club!!!
Facts?? What good would facts do you? You don’t seem to accept evidence. I think “anonymous” is exactly correct and I’m not surprised that you disagree. Of course, you can’t reason with people who don’t deal in facts…
Anonymous, you need a name. Too many anonymous bloggers on here. You deserve the credit for that one. It was right on!
Loved that you mentioned about kate having favorites and definately not the boys. Remember “boys are gross”. On the last show did you notice that she didn’t have enough snacks, so she wanted the boys to share. Oh that was a surprise. Wasn’t it yogurt???
MOTHERS DON’T HAVE FAVORITES KATE!!!!!
Rachel, did you ever get the message? We go back and forth but we usually comment on http://womensthougths.wordpress.com/
Come holler at us..Maris, Cinoda, Me, Missy sorta took off…
You don’t need links to anything or proof if you actually watched the show from the beginning. Kate lacks the ability to bond with her children. She hates men. She picked Hannah as her favorite child over all the others. Hannah is more like Jon then Kate, she also lacks the ability to fight back, just like her daddy. She’s a pleasant child and willing to be the “go for” and do it quietly.
Cara rarely smiles. She looks like her Dad, like a beaten down dog. these 2 quiet children who are most like Dad, will someday do the very same thing that Dad did. They’ll just walk away. At that point, maybe the 3 boys will follow. The boys have taken a back seat from birth. It’s depressing to see have far behind the girls they are. They have had to bond to each other because they weren’t allow to bond with their Dad, their mom doesn’t like them and they were born with Dad’s nature, quiet and non aggressive, although Colin does have Kates mean streak.
Kate’s hair: She looks like a plucked chicken in the back. The front: Looks like an amish bowl cut on one side, the other side is a total disconnect to the hair-do. It’s really ugly and she does look like a smacked a—-.
Jan, if you want to be like Kate, go for it. She has no class. She’s cold hearted. She’s really an unhappy person and has emotional and mental problems at the very least. She’s the mother of 8 but I wouldn’t hire her to take care of my gold fish.
Anonymous…Whatever your opinion of her hair is fine…You were just way out of line comparing it to her pubic hair. That made you look cheap and I’m sure I am not the only one with that opinion. You keep throwing your insults at me and then say I insult you I don’t allow you to have opinions. Read back over some of your posts and see how you have done the exact thing to me. The laundry list you gave were mostly your opinion. Because you choose a side and try to make a big deal out of every move she makes does not make it fact. I do not get the same ideas out of the show that you do, sorry…but I try to be fair and realize there is alot that goes on behind the scenes that lead up to what we actually see…Granted Kate can be mouthy and I think she goes overboard at times that is not my debate. I am defending her from the ones that say she is such a terrible mother. For example, that she didn’t speak to her kids for 5 weeks while on book tour. That is outrageous and totally unbelievable and I really want facts on that one!!! Nobody is perfect and I am in no way, shape or form saying Kate is right in how she talks to people. If you can’t give her credit for anything good then that is on you but I feel like you are just “caught up” in bashing her and not open to reason. I am awaiting your next “put down” on me. You seem to think that is how to treat people. Kinda reminds me of what you say Kate does…
We should have a little challenge here. Let’s watch all the episodes for the past 2 seasons and journal negative and positive against both Jon and Kate, then see who leads in both. NOT… I personnally don’t have to because after having already watched all of them I know who would win. This womens so called bedside manner needs much improvement. You can’t watch the show and not know this. The most damming evidence of all is that there are not any family members and old dear friends in their lives or the lives of their children. Nanna who would help with laundry and watch the kids was not at the kids 5th birthday party. They only moved about 50 miles from where they use to live.. Don’t you think this women who was always their for Kate (the one who planned the whole party all by herself) would have invited her, or gone to get her. No this would have been out of the way for Kate. I just keep repeating this because some people aren’t getting the fact that this is the biggest point to be made about this whole subject- THAT KATE- has chased everyone away including her husband. She chases everyone away who won’t become what she wants them to be-GOPHERS….Like what was said before, what have you ever seen Kate do for someone else? Its easy to give away things that are given to you(like a pink scooter) but try giving of yourself or your money to help others. All the free stuff that was given to them, Kate decides to have a yard sale and donate the money to charity. She complained about people not being there on time with the tables and was ready to leave. If her heart would have really truly been in helping someone else less fortunate, come hell or high water she wouldn’t be complaining!!!!! Kate has isolated those kids from everone but the camera guys and the spa workers where she went with her oldest daughter. These kids will go through life without having their aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and nanna’s. IT IS KATE who has caused all this and no one else. Jon loves having family around.
Right on…
I agree that the most telling thing about Kate is the fact that she has no friends or family members involved in their lives. What happened to her girlfriend who used to travel with her, babysit for her and her husband even gave Jon a job. What has she done with them.
You left out commenting on Mady, the most screwed up of all the kids who has a personality and temper like her mom.
Jan, if you could see so clearly, you would be able to pick out the different “anonymous” posts as different people. I think you have more than one anonymous person who does not agree with you. I don’t always type in my name because I have 2 braces on my hands. I posted the last anonymous where it says, “Cara never smiles”.
This cold blooded poor excuse for a mother doesn’t need you to defend her. If she knew you, she would step on you like an ant if you couldn’t do anything for her…like take care of her kids, wash her laundry, iron her clothes.
She has NO one left in her life that was inplace when this show started. Those that she didn’t get rid of before she had the babies because they weren’t giving her cash, she got rid of one by one.
I only hope Jon gathers them all back up and allows his children to have a “family” again.
By the way, the reason people with money GIVE things away is because they need it for a tax write off.
I give a lot away. It comes out of my Social Security check…that hurts, something that Kate will never really know- how it feels to really give to someone and gain nothing back but the wonderful feeling you get when that person smiles.
I’m sorry Holee but I just don’t agree with you…That is what makes this country great! We can have our own opinions. Have a wonderful day…
Patti,
Do you know what ever happened to Kate’s friend Beth. Ya, know the one with the beautiful house that the Gosslins had there family pictures taken at?
Thanks!
You are right Jan, that’s why you don’t need to defend her against those of us who see it different..it’s our opinion to see her as a bad mother.
When the kids lived in the smaller house they had a wonderful birthday party at their own home with lots of caring adults and children enjoying the carnival.
What a huge contrast to the 5th birthday!
Nobody said you couldnt have your opinion…I just shared mine…Sheesh! These Hate Kate people are really defensive!
Rachel-I don’t really know(hard to believe) Ha ha- I know Beth was one of the people who first volunteered to help with the kids after they were born. They didn’t know each other before this. But whatever the reason Beth and Kate are not friends anymore, Beth is one class act. She has not taken to the tabloids to comment on this. All of us who have watched the show know what a blessing Beth had become to that family. We know they didn’t need money so they most certainly were in it because they truly cared for the family. I’ve got a strong suspicion though why Beth isn’t in their lives anymore-It’s a four letter word. KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need opinions please. Does anyone else think that all this divorce talk is all due to ratings. It seems to me after watching previous episodes before the big blow that Jon and Kate were quite civil to each other. Does anyone else feel that this is all fake?
I think when the ratings started dropping and because of all the negative response to the show that TLC is getting, Kate knew that they could possibly drop the show and she wasn’t going to let that happen. So there might have been a moment where she wanted everyone to think she was being nice. I believe they are getting a divorce. Jon has come to a point in his life where he is not going back to a life with her. It will be about Kate protecting the money that she thinks is all hers so it will be interesting to see what her strategy will be next.
Patti…Kate and Beth are still friends and here is the link to prove this…
http://theanti-gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2008/12/beth-finally-talks-about-book.html
Also Patti…could you share the link with me showing me that Kate thinks their money is all hers, cause I just don’t get that idea from watching the show… Thanks!
Jan, December 12, 2008 was a looooog time ago in Kates life. Didn’t you notice there was NO Christmas show in the new house?
Why do you keep asking for links of proof? Anyone one of normal intelligence can figure it out. The divorce papers were filed because Kate stated she needed to “protect her and the children”.
Lets see now, do you think Jon has become violent? I don’t think so. What then could she be protecting?? $$$$$$$$$$$$ Put that together with what happened that weekend. Jon shopped in New York City for an apartment….not a dump, but one that would draw $60,000.00 a year for the rent.
Oh wow, now lets run off to a court house and file fast, lie and say we have been separated for 2 years, trying to protect the income from the books, and to get a quick divorce so Jon can’t touch any of HER money.
Hmmm, did the divorce papers deal with the children, custody or visitation? Most often in Pa., it does. Not in this case…it was a hurry to clamp tight on the money. The kids are not something she is concerned about as a first priority. Besides, she needs Jon as a babysitter…hmmmm, I bet he sees himself as a father and one half of the marriage which would mean one half of the money.
In Pa. since they are both earning the same amount on the show, they would both be responsible for equal support for the kids. ooops…if Kate claims the books are soley hers, then she is earning more then Jon and would be responsible for more of the kids support.
Try to rely on you own common sense and don’t put so much into links and the things you read. Montco court house has a library. If you really want to know why she is running for the law to protect HER money, you’ll have to do a little legal reading. Maybe you should rely on the Pa. rules for child support which can be found on line.
It wasn’t recently they wrote the first book. They started it one year after the kids were born it took a year to finish it, so the kids would have been two. I went to the web site and I didn’t find where Beth and Kate were still friends. Just because she made a comment last year about writing the book to someone doesn’t mean their friends now. I said in a recent comment that Beth is a class act. Just because a fan of Kates is blogging and telling all you fans of Kate what you want to hear doesn’t make it so. But that’s your problem you don’t get it that’s what we’ve all been trying to get you to understand. And there is no link about Kate and the money, it comes from watching the show that shows you it’s all about money with Kate. With all the cameras following Kate around I’m sure if Beth and her were still friends we would have seen a picture by now. A picture is worth a thousand words. Produce a recent picture and you’ll make a believer out of me.
Holee-Bravo I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s so nice to be blogging with people who have good common sense. I keep going to all these websites that Jan puts up and I don’t find any hard facts about what she’s talking about.
Won’t Jon get half of the money anyway because he was also in the shows/books?
Here it is Patti…copied and pasted since you were unable to read it on the Fan Website and this is a Fan Website for Jon AND Kate, not just some random blog…………This was such a great positive article to read, leave it up to the Trolls at GWOP to try to make a negative spin on it saying that Kate and Beth are no longer friends or that Beth is “sticking up for herself saying ONLY she wrote the book”…………..When I put up a website I put it because it backs up my statement…Since you Hate Kate people have your blinders on and would rather rely on “good ol common sense” than facts that would be your problem…A lot of the theorys and statements the “three” (and you know who you are) have made are quite comical. Thanks for the laughs. You can make all the insults you want at my expense but I am still glad that I am the person that I am, not running to jump on people until I know facts and placing total blame on one side. I am expecting to see a group of you request Jon for Sainthood next. I am sure there are others that agree with me but have not said anything. On other sites I have read a lot of nice things about Kate as well as Jon and that is how it should be. I wont be back posting here anymore because I’m taking this site out of my favorites cause I’ve had all the laughs I can handle from you three. When you cut me down you make yourself look just a little silly…Have a nice life girls!
Jan- I know you won’t read this but you have been one who has defended Kate and didn’t have anything good to say about Jon. If we all defended Jon you jumped in and defended Kate. How are we any different then you. You have said a lot of negative things about us because of our opinions concerning Jon. I honestly didn’t find any absolutes from the sites you put up. I had said over and over again that Jon should have manned up before now. I haven’t got one hateful bone in my body for another human being. You have taken everything so personally. I know the rest of us have strong opinions on this subject but I can speak for myself and say that I have not had one moment since I have been on this site where my blood was boiling over comments that have been made. Its just for fun we had nothing to do with Jon and Kates breakup. I don’t understand-you knew we were all negative toward Kate on this site, why would you have it on your favorites? You have judged Jon by what the media has put out there. Yet when what Kate has done has been evident on every show you still defended her and said, ya she was a little hard on Jon at times. She crys and you believe those are real tears. Bottom line- if she loved her kids and her husband she would have said a long time ago stop the show!!!!!!! she is the one who controls everything. Then she would still have a marriage because Jon saw where this was going and he told her he didn’t want to do it anymore (it’s on the tape of last show season 4) and Kate said NO I like what I’m doing!!!!!! So there you have it Kate chose fame and fortune over her FAMILY…………..
This is true. It is very obvious that on the last show from last season that Jon didn’t want to continue with the show, but OH, NO!! Miss Kate wasn’t having that!
I stopped watching the show after that. I haven’t watched any of this season’s shows, not that you have to, it’s all over the airways. I really did enjoy the show at the beginning, but it started to be all about trips and stuff–that “regular” families trying to make it from day to day could never afford, and at that point it wasn’t a reality show–it was a fantasy!
Rachel- yes Jon will get half of everything. Which he should,he was half of the show. Lets see… what will the kids get? lots of stuff from both parents so they can become all about things and not loving caring people toward others. I’m correcting myself Kate was a third Jon was a third and the kids were a third of the show.
I read somewhere that the kids will get free college education from the state of PA. Just wondering if this is true and why would a family with this much $$ get free education?
Yes it is true… The governor or PA was at the tuplets first b-day party and promised them all a free college education. They also set up a college trust fund at that time.. I guess the gov didn’t think before he opened his mouth and figured the state would need some help! The trust account records are sealed and you can not access how much money is in it… You can, however, go online and make a donation…..
Rachel- I think this was given to them before they started getting the big money from the show. Just like I think they should pay the hospital over a million back for their kids care when they were born. Wouldn’t that make them a couple that cares more about what people have done for them then the money. After all it was Kate who wanted to have kids the unnatural way, why should everyone else pay…
I live in Pa. I did live in Lancaster 3 yr. ago, now I am in western Pa. When these babies were born at Hershey Medical Center everyone was ready to give. Who knew Mom would send out tapes to studio’s and they would end up with so much.
When Kate’s Dad got his church members to give items he also had no idea. He thought as a father he was doing the right thing with the daily cost facing them all at that time.
The State of Pa. is providing college for these kids…but since they are now wealthy, Kate should tell the state to give it to others who need help…we all know she won’t do that.
In the beginning she had a free nurse provided for the babies. When they decided the babies were healthy and she wasn’t entitled to the nurse, Kate took them to court, and lost.
When people start to think they are “owed” the things they get, they usually end up like this family. They get the goods and are left without the love they once had for each other. Jon is not natured this way in my opinion. He weakly tried to tell Kate he wanted to stop, wanted back his life and privacy…but with Kate’s nature, she loves the attention.
This is a problem we see in Maddy. The more attention Maddy gets the more she wants and when she doesn’t get it, she lashes out out everyone, but especially her younger siblings who she must blame for her lack of attention.
It’s unfortunate for all these children, but I don’t see anyway Jon could have continued. He seems to enjoy the contact he has with his family and I don’t think it makes him feel very good that his mother and brothers have been cut out of his life. Jon is a person who needs family and friends. I think he will continue to be in his childrens lives if Kate doesn’t end that and as long as Jon continues to do the show for her, she won’t. The shows stands between him & his children having a relationship now.
I think that Kate is obsesed with power, money, and publicity. Jon he is very tired of ALL of the things going on. But the one who will be most unfortuante will be the children. Poor kids I cant belive Kate would put her own family through this whole thing. I hope everything thing will be alright with the children.
Why does Jon want to move to New York?
kate is so coldhearted she belongs in a mosaleam she has no soul like a vampire’poor jon he got bit once to much by her no wonder she is always at the dentist she has to get her teeth sharpened; people like her should not have children; ever’ her skunk haircutwill get white sosmeday and she will look like the evil ghost she is with the white stripe down her back[ god help us from people like her run jon far awaynever look back; then maybe the sun will shine for you again;
Oh PLEASE,,, Jon is a total duschtard! And yes I stole that word…. He is a beer gutted thug wanna be…. He is always high during the interviews. Ever notice his eyes? And I guarantee you he has been cheating on Kate since probably before they got married. The only reason he is leaving is because he got busted and finally realized he can’t go screw arouind now because someone will see him….
http://womensthougths.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
When we want to get a bad reaction against someone, the norm is to say they smoke pot and drink beer. I’m not against either so I’m not swayed by your statements.
As for cheating, that is between a man and a woman and in todays world, is pretty much the norm…take Clinton for example, who continued to sit as the head of of country.So, I’m not swayed by that statement either. Who cares what adults do to each other, that’s their problem. I didn’t watch the show to see them. I watched to see the beautiful children.
My test for a father is about the 8 children. Did he show love for them? Did he show concern for them? Did he have normal expectations for them?
Right from the beginning we saw the babies excitement whenever Daddy was home or around. Many times Kate said this. Jon was always concerned about Kate not allowing the kids to be kids, get dirty, enjoy a project and always having them dressed to the nines was annoying to him. I think he was totally against her constant restriction to having a normal piece of candy etc. What Jon expects from his kids is that smile he gets when they are enjoying something he is doing with them. He expects them to be children.
On the other hand, Kate shows no love to her boys and little to her girls. I’ve heard Maddy call her mean. She doesn’t bring out the smiles and best in the children. Just look at Cara’s expression, she doesn’t smile. Kate doesn’t care about the kids feelings or the outcome of her demands. She expects them to be camera ready robots at all times for her benefit.
As a father, Jon ranks towards the top of the chart, while Kate is off the chart. Somewhere waaaaaaay below normal.
I love the clip of kate having a meltdown on the airplane. She cries just like her kids do.
Finally, some relief for the kids!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20090630/en_top_eo/131873
And the cook book….most likely trashed! Exactly what she should get, nothing!
Maybe now she’ll have to eventually move out of the cold, echoing house and into a home, where the kids can form friendships outside their own clan!
If anything, she needs to move to NY and Jon needs to live in the house with the kids. He loves the woods, getting dirty, having fun. She hates it all and I can’t understand why she moved there in the first place. The dogs??? We all know she’ll never let them out of their cage.
The last 3 comments were right on. If anyone has wanted his kids to be kids it has been Jon. Remember when he told her to pull the stick out of her ….she says I can’t believe you said that, you’ve never said anything like that to me. She was admitting right then and there that Jon doesn’t say mean things to her, but she says a whole lotta mean!! And the true test of a loving parent is all the different things Jon wants to show his kids and teach them things besides how to get your hair and nails done. I also watched the show because of the kids. I loved all the cute things that they did and said,but we haven’t seen much of that lately.
They weren’t going to tape any new shows until Aug. 8th anyway.
Yea, last nights episode sucked. It is taking so long from the time the do something until the show actually airs the news about what has happened is already out. We all know about Kate going to the beach with the kids and Steve. It wont even be on until next week….. I would rather be suprised…. Is an article on lastnights show…
http://womensthougths.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/jon-kate-62909-episode/
Jon and Kate isn’t even going to be on next week.
This whole thing just makes me really sad. I am 26 years old and in a stable long term relationship with a good man. As sad as this is, and as embarrassed as I am to admit it I believe that subconciously I look to some of these examples like Jon and Kate to help me guide my way. No, I have never never said that I want to be just like… (fill in the blank with random reality show star’s name) but I do need examples and television is unfortunatly one of the only places I have to look too for examples of what my “next stage” in life might look like. (P.S.- I don’t really watch alot of this type of thing but these kids are so cute and just caught my eye) Kate was a nurse before and I think that we need more examples of professionally educated women parenting. (By the way before I get blasted by everyone out there, I am aware that Kate quit working before parenting eight children.
The mother of my granddaughter was a nurse, but that was never who she really was. What your profession is has nothing to do with who you are.
She ended up on Phila. most wanted list, a drug addict who brutally assaulted a man to get drug money.
You wouldn’t have wanted to see her raising her child. The basement was filled knee deep with dirty clothing. She would stop on the way to the hospital and buy a new outfit after sleeping all day.
Being professionally educated doesn’t make a mother. Kate admits to emotional problems. I think they are more mental problems, but I’m not a doctor.
Television is a poor example of real life. Try looking at the families in wal mart. The mothers who drag their kids while they are screaming (like Kate did), those who speak to their children quietly, those that shake and push their kids and those mothers who ask dad to remove the child from the situation and take her/him to the car.
Kate is the very worse example of a mother. I haven’t seen a good mother on TV since : Father knows Best, Make room for Daddy, Leave it to beaver or the Brady Bunch…none of which was a real example of life.
Holee-I agree with you completely. There have been so many professional people who have done terrible things. There are however very wonderful professional mothers who can work and be good mothers,too. I watch the sextuplets on WE, their mother is a nurse and still works. She lets her little ones get dirty and just enjoy life without getting upset like Kate always did if the kids got dirty. Things don’t have to be perfect in her house. I also grew up on the shows you mentioned. Just think how different our world would be if we could go back to those days. But we have become such a materialistic country and the results of that is destroying our common sense and our families.
i just have four words jodi is a bitch
Anonymous- I guess you haven’t watched any of the episodes where Jodi and Kevin were always helping Jon and Kate with something. Jodi was such a loving aunt to those kids. I say was because Kate no longer has any of her family in her life. But I repeat from other comments I have made that ALL OF THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS MUST BE VERY GREEDY……NOT…..but if you believe everyone but Kate is at fault all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!
anyone who is criticising kate for getting her nails done is stupid because what is wrong with looking good
Anonymous-There isn’t anything wrong with getting you nails done if your priorities are in order. Kates priority is not her husband and kids otherwise she would have stopped the show a long time ago.
There’s nothing wrong with looking good. With 8 kids spending time with them comes first. Taking kids to a spa is not spending time with them. Your kids are not your “friends” to pal around with.
The only places Kate took the kids was planned by TLC. I wonder what the kids were doing and who was being mommy while she wrote 3 books? When you miss the early years, that’s bad for the children.
Too late now, they are school age. She missed the learning years and so did the kids. Of course, part of the early years of learning is allowing kids to see, touch, get messy. You can’t do that with nice nails and designer clothing and your hair hanging over one eye.
Hasn’t anyone noticed how far behind the boys are? Boys need to experiment to learn. These boys were restricted, ignored and left behind a lot of the time. Kate has 8 kids, but only has time for 1…Hanny.
Why is Hannah the favorite? Does anyone know?
Hannah was her little helper. Liked to fold clothes etc.
Anonymous,
Jon and Kate and those children were very lucky to have Jodi and Kevin in there lives. I give credit for Jodi to take those kids once a week to give Kate some time to herself.
Here is my take on why Hanny is Kate’s favorite. She is not a screemer, she does what she’s told to do, she longs for attention and found a way to get it. Gee, does that sound like Jon?
If you notice, right from the beginning Hanny was the only baby not crying. She has dad’s quiet personality. Grant you, so does Cara, but Cara has a fault. She likes sports and outside. She can’t relate to Kate in any way.
The boys are also quiet, but they came with the wrong plumbing…Kate does not like males at any age or in anyway.
Sorry, that was my post…keep forgetting to put in my name
Wow Holee. Thanks for the explaniation of “the favorite”. You sound like a pro at this. Good job.
To the 2nd anonymous on this site. You sound alot like Jan who use to post her comments on this site. Are you her ghost writer?????
http://womensthougths.wordpress.com/
anonymous, thanks for that! If was well worth the look. I needed a good laugh this morning.
This is not the tropic’s. Pa. has not had enough days in the eighty’s to get a tan like that.
No matter how much money you have, once you are past 28, have had kids….you don’t belong in a brief swimsuit. Someone here was pitting Kate becaue she looked so thin at the 5th birthday party..seems like it might have been her fashion that day…she seems to have gained some pounds to me! Thunder Thighs!
And the kids…exposed to that!
I hate not having a button so I can fix the words I type in wrong! That was not pitting..it was pitying…
Don’t ever pity her..pity the kids!
