Do you think Kate from Jon and Kate plus eight, has OCD?

Question

I love the show, and I love Kate, but I sometimes wonder if she has a mild form of OCD.... I mean obviously it can be a good thing for her family since she keeps the house so organized, but there are sometimes (like messy kitchen while cooking etc), where I wonder if there is a little bit of OCD happening there.

Answer 1

Honestly i like the show too but she has several issues. I think shes very controlling and abusive toward Jon. The OCD is not about needing to be "clean", its about her obssesion to CONTROL everything as much as she can. And since she had to quit her job and gave her life up for her kids, and one thing for sure she can control is having things clean. Shes sort of sets it up that way so she can just disappoint, put down, make everyone wrong, and give up what they want because shes really angry and disappointed in herself that maybe this life isnt what she wanted..... How can you be obssesivly clean with 8 kids; thats crazy, everyone knows kids are messy. Its just amunition for her destructive behavior and so she gets to continue to control and abuse. She obviously needs help. And Jon dosnt look happy to be her husband.

Answer 2

i love that show to.  i am a guy and that is pretty weird but something about it is catchy.  I think she knows she has a mild form of ocd.  She know she has a little problem but also says that she just feel that way about things.

YES-thank you. My daughter with OCD caught on to that-she is 12.
