I think she treats him like a child, for all that he does for the family. Also I can understand some people being OCD but she takes it to the next level, I can't believe it! Those kids can never really have any fun.

Personally, I don't like the way she is anymore. Not to mention, I think her twin girls are BRATS. I can't even stand watching the show because of how they are.

I just think it's all gone downhill, which is sad because it used to be one of my favorite shows on TLC.

I think that Kate is crazy and will stop at nothing to continue to be famous, even if it means destroying her marriage and making her kids unhappy. I used to watch the show when it was about a normal couple struggling with 8 kids, now they live in a mansion and wear designer clothes (Kate was recently pictured in $300 shoes!) yet Kate still tries to portray a "woe is me" It's so sick and I feel bad for the kids. They are ones who are losing out out on a normal childhood because their mother.

I can't stand her... I think she's pushy, over bearing, bossy and very "me me me". And he is like a child himself. I also think that their oldest two kids are little shits and that unless they pull them out of the public eye and give them a normal chance at life, then those two girls are going to be a lot of trouble as they get older.

Irrespective of whether producers might twist the show to rating advantages, anyone who wants to put their young family through that kind of publicity needs to really evaluate their life and the toll that would take.

You took all the words straight from my mouth!

Great minds think alike ;)

And then on the other hand --- TLC's show Little People Big World seem to have handled everything much better.

Handled what better?

Being in the spotlight and the money.

True, but they seem to be a lot more well-rounded and laid back than Jon and Kate.

Plus their kids are older.. they're not growing up as such in the public eye. Not quite to the extent these 8 are.

I take everything with a grain of salt. Like Madetoshine said, no one has any idea of what is really going on. They could be making Jon out to be the victim, and he really is a jerk. Although, it tells a lot about is character to just be pushed around like that all the time. I think the media is blowing this thing way out of proportion, the only thing they care about is making money. I also feel bad for the children, the older girls are probably hearing all about this at school. Also, Kate's brother and sister in law came out and talked to a magazine and the stuff they say is so mean. I guess they don't even talk to Kate anymore, so I think they did this to get back at her. The brother and his wife said that they were doing it for the children, but if they were really thinking about the children they wouldn't say anything so that the story could die down a little bit. They just told the story for some money. I love Jon & Kate though, I hope they pull through this and if stuff like this is really happening, to get better for the children.

i love jon and kate plus 8!

I don't know, from what I've watched of the show, it really doesn't seem like either one of them has much respect for the other. She is controlling, bossy, everything that everyone else has said. On the other hand, Jon can almost always be seen rolling his eyes at Kate in their "confessional" chats. I mean, everyone wants them to do what's best for the kids, but if that basic level of respect isn't present in a relationship, what real hope does it have for a lasting future?

i live near where they used to live. people hate them around here. especially kate. the nurses that had her at the hospital said she was rude and demanding. she was a real bitch, i guess. some people won't watch it because of that.

I love the show. It's good entertainment. That being said...Kate is kind of crazy.

i love their show. kate is a giant bitch though. not sure why jon ever hooked up with her. he doesn't seem like the lack-of-back bone type.

I love the show, and I really can't stand seeing them in all these trashy tabloids. I hope all the BS isn't true, and if it is than they definitely need to get out of the public eye. The kids probably have fun on the show (or at least they're completely used to it being a way of life), but you could tell by the last episode of last season that Jon isn't really digging it anymore. I think its obvious how much Kate is loving the money and the fame, but I think if its having a negative effect on their family unit than they need to cash in their earnings and go live a normal life.
