Wish I had good news about the problems in Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage. It only seems to get worse as time goes on. Allegations of Kate Gosselin cheating with her bodyguard, Steve Nield are now all over the airwaves and tabloids. And, I can’t help but wonder who the hell is minding the store?
There are 8 children at home but the only ones who seem to be having any fun are the parents. In this situation, it sounds like the parents could use a little parenting themselves. At least a good scolding for not stopping to think of the harm their actions will do to their children.
Granted, no one knows what is and isn’t true. I’ll be the first to admit that. If the rumors being reported have even one grain of truth to it Jon and Kate Gosselin are playing fast and loose with their children’s emotional health.
All you have to do is watch the show to know that they are both good parents. They are raising their children in a loving environment in which they feel very stable. Has either Jon or Kate stopped to think about the consequences to those children if their problems lead to divorce?
What is it about marital discord and infidelity that turns good parents into people whose only concern is getting what they want? I’m contacted daily by people going through a divorce or involved in infidelity. Their questions for me are always about legal issues surrounding a divorce or how to get more child support or pay less child support.
I’ve never received an email from a parent asking me “what do I do to keep my situation from harming my children?” Jon and Kate Gosselin are a great example of what I come into contact with on a daily basis. People so caught up in their own desires or pain that they loose any capacity to put their child’s needs before their own.
What we are seeing played out in the Gosselin marriage goes on every day in thousands of marriages. Mature people act in immature ways and I have little concern for their well-being. They’ve made choices and can deal with the penalty of those choices.
The ones who can’t deal and whose feelings are trivialized are the children. I’m one person who can’t help but wonder when are we, as parents going to start thinking about the consequences of divorce and infidelity on our children and stop behaving so childishly.

Will Jon and Kate Gosselin Divorce?Is Jon Gosselin Cheating on Kate?
Tell Jon and Kate to stop being so selfish and try watching the movie “Fire Proof” They ought to get off TV and deal with what matters most. Their family not their fame and fortune!!
it has always been evident that she cares more for material things than her own family. i am a 62 year old woman and my husband all she needs to do is look in the mirror, she is not that good looking, and she needs to pay more attention to her family than what she can get. she would sell her kids for a buck i don’t watch them anymore. it is all her. she reminds me of octomom what is the difference….
I hope for the kids that they work things out.They seemed so in love before I think with a little TLC they can patch things up,I think that the money has went to both there heads not just Kate’s Jon’s too.I think they need to take a break from the spotlight to fix there relationship before it is to late.They need to open there eyes up and see what a mess there relationship is in and what it is going to do to there kids in the future and what it is doing to them now.My daughter and I always love to watch there show she is about the septuplets age. Last season you could really see the change in Jon and Kate’s relationship and it seemed to happen fast.I hope they work things out and don’t get a divorce ,even if that means no more TV show.Myself I think the family should came before the show.This is to the 2nd comment, the 62 year old lady who said that Kate needs to look in the mirror so old lady might I say you need to get some glasses. I think Kate is a very pretty woman that was just uncalled for to say that,she looks alot better than the teacher that Jon has been spoted with.Now I think that the teacher is the one that needs to look in the mirror,she is not that pretty at all.I am a woman myself and there is nothing wrong with me saying she is pretty.Jon is lucky to have her and he has took her for granted good luck in trying to make things work.It seems like Kate is willing to but Jon don’t want to try from what I have seen and read,he needs to just let go and try talking things out instead of just sitting there like a knot on a log.So best wishes to your marriage and the kids.GOOD LUCK!!
Please don’t jump right to divorce!!!! We have been through loosing everything, materil wise, bad health,& many others. Go see Dr. Phil, ya’ll know him already. You have those beautiful 8 kids to think about now more than, a tv show. Take a vacation from that & everything involved & everyone involved. Try spending normal family time for awhile & see what & who’s most important! Try TLC Show 8 & Jon + Kate!!!!!
