I’ve watched this show from the beginning and stopped last season. My solution…take all the monies earned put it in trust funds for the 8 kids that the parents can’t touch with healthy minded individuals who only think about whats best for the kids. See what happens then………

it is very disappointing but all reality shows end or destroy the family, i loved this show when they were real and average people, it has gone way beyond im a normal mom… please.. and i feel for john he is young he has a wife who is never home for him or the kids they said she travels 3 weeks a month, come on she loves it she does not do it for her kids. that is alot for a dad… even if he had a little help as she said. its most sad for the kids but i agree they need a normal life and the series needs to stop. cameras 24/7 is not normal, every luxury is not normal.. at the bday party it was so sad when one of the sextuplets went up to john and said i love you i miss you please dont leave me again. i wonder how they will split the children and proceeds i believe kate will bleed him dry…. will he and the kids ever regain a normal life after this?

i agree. Om the season fanalie the kids would go up to kate and simply state “i love you mommy” and she would igonre them or cheesily say thank you honey, give them a kiss, and send them off to play. Also, Aaden got hurt so he went to kate for comfort and all she did was push him away and tell him to get dressed. She has too much on her mind to take care of these kids. i have loved this show so much untill tonight. the first episode of season just broke my heart to see jon and kate fight, and see what they are putting on the kids. it hurts them to see their parents pretending.

Instead of spreading gossip and hate, you can really help Jon & Kate:

I agree that Kate’s brother and sister-in-law are no better than Jon and Kate looking for the almighty dollar. Who honestly thinks that Kevin and Jodi made that video out of the goodness of their hearts and not becuase they were offered some kind of deal??? Jon and Kate need to start parenting their children by themselves. Do the kids even realize how lucky they are when things are given to them. I look at the students in my classroom and wonder how different their lives would be if they got to go on just one of the many outings that the Gosselin kids get to go on. So much money and yet so little love.

The best thing for these people, especially the kids, is to get them out of the public eye. If they don’t volunteer to get out, we should boot them out. Honestly, how could anyone think they are role models anyway. Save the kids: get the show off the air and let these people get back to the real world, dealing with their real problems they have brought on themselves. They might be able to rise to the occasion and be real parents to their kids; it’s the kids only hope. Or else you will have 8 screwed up people breeding in a few years.

Advertisers who sponsor this should be ashamed. It is immoral.

Kate’s brother and “Aunt Jodi” are just ticked that Kate did not want them to get paid for the part they took in the show in past seasons, Kate and her brother had a big screaming blow out fight and Kate said nobody was going to profit from her family! I guess her brother and Jodi think they got the last laugh by getting paid for the article they interview for but in my opinion you don’t turn on your family no matter what and them speaking out now is just wrong…they say Kate wants fortune and fame…….LOOK in the Mirror dear BROTHER (if you can call yourself that)

Very true Michelle. We don’t recommend VBACS anymore due to the risk of uterine rupture. I am referring to the patient who had the VAGINAL delivery FIRST and then requested the C/S second due to convenience. She also stated that she didn’t like the pain of her first labor. Whole other story. Unless there is a risk to momma or baby, we don’t recommend a C/S. Having a primary c/s is a situation where having a VBAC is a huge risk factor to the momma (and baby if there is a uterine rupture). Did you read the particular situation that I was referring to? I won’t rehash all the details again.

N&M; MJG-I don’t think you should request a CS just for convenience. However, in MJG’s case, she had a CS with baby #1. “Most” MD’s don’t even want to risk a VBAC because of the risk of uterine rupture, etc. I think if the labor is progressing normally, fine, but 27 hours…come on!!! I usually tell my patients that ask me my thoughts, I tell them of the risks and tell them to talk it over with their MD. Overall, I don’t think the risks of a VBAC outweight the safety of a repeat CS. Just my thoughts!

Mjg- The patient I was referring to never mentioned that she had a difficult first delivery. The ob was sitting right in front of me with the prenatal records as she called the patient. I’m only stating that there are more risks to mom with an elective C/S than risks to both mom and baby during a vag delivery. No one can argue that point. Now if you say there is a medical reason to deliver via c/s for mom OR baby’s sake that is a WHOLE other issue.

No one has a crystal ball to be able to predict the outcomes of all labor/deliveries. If you have the mentality that doctors should be omniscient, then you probably subscribe to the belief that everyone should schedule a c/s ( because there is a remote possibility that there might be a traumatic birth experience associated with a vag delivery ). Hind sight is 20/20. But heck, if everyone gets sectioned then all babies will be born perfect right? BTW, there are risks just getting in your car and driving to work or the store. I don’t suppose that you avoid getting in your car to drive to the airport.

Unfortuntately, there are more complications for the mother with a c/s. Hemorrhage, clots (from deep vein thrombosis to pulmonary embolisms-the deadly ones), nicked organs (yes it does happen) and anesthesia complications are just a few risk factors associated with surgery. I actually had a patient who had a cardiac arrest from a scheduled c/s. By the grace of God and a talented OB/anesthesia team, the patient lived.

I only want to point out that there are real risks associated with elective surgeries. Just because you haven’t heard of anyone having any complications doesn’t mean that they aren’t occuring out there somewhere. While most of our patients seem to do fine, the risks are still there and it may not seem significant until it happens to you. The OB doctor was being prudent. The patient got her way, but grossly underestimated the pain factor. Hopefully she will not develop any complications as a result.

Have a good evening, MJG. I will officially step down off my box. lol. Peace out.
