Jon & Kate Plus 8?

Question

There have been a lot of rumors going around about them recently. Jodi's sisters blog about Kate not wanting Jodi to get paid for being on the show. Kate's Medicaid plead to keep the sextuplets nurse after a year. Kate saying society was "obligated" to take care of her kids (she knew the risks). Jon & Kate's parents not being involved (people say when Kate was pregnant with the sextuplets, her dads church-he's a minister-gave her things and she wanted cash only). Someone also said here on Y! Answers that she went to their house and tried to donate some clothing to the kids and Kate said "My kids dont wear hand-me-downs". I'm not saying these things are true but I love the show and the way Kate acts most of the time, I can imagine her doing these things. There are more things that people have accused them of, but I want to know...does anyone on here know if these accusations are true??? I still love the show but is it all lies, are they getting all this help while crying "broke"?

Answer 1

I don't think that this is true....I mean we all know that kate is a little anal about some things, but she has eight kids and has to be in order to keep everything and everyone in line....and I think that if Kate was that way, that her kids would be heathens, and her kids are usually very well behaved....as for her sister.....Jodi is rarely ever on the show, so what difference does it make? And the nurse thing....if you had six one year olds you would probably want the help to, I mean, who wouldn't......and Jon's parents....hmmmm.....i kinda wonder about them too.

*NEVERMIND I just read the blog.....and Kate is WRONG

Answer 2

I don't think any of that is true. It doesn't sound like Kate at all.

Answer 3

I watch that shows has well. I don't think they are true at all. She never nursed those babies at all. They all bottle feed and all are healthy children. They are doing so well taking care of their children.

Answer 4

I don't know about truth from any of this HOWEVER from what I have seen of this show:

1. they do not discipline fairly with the kids. I've seen some of the kids mouth off or act out and they don't get time out where as others do.

2. Kate is nasty the way she acts towards Jon and to me he looks tired and hen pecked if not at least trapped. I wonder if it weren't for TV cameras in his face and the kids if he'd even stay with her.  

3. Kate needs to CHILL OUT.  She makes the 7 year olds do everything for the little kids- like at the crayola factory she only let them make paper bag puppets or things she didn't think were messy. She griped the entire time and wouldn't even let them use paint or marker.  It's called ARTSMOCKS. It drives me nuts that she acts like a little dirt on her kids is the end of the world. There kids, let them be! She's depriving them of simple childhood joys by what she's doing...  I loved the episode where Jon took the boys golfing and the one little boy started whining because he got dirt on his shoes. Jon told him "will you suck it up and realize your mother brainwashes you! You're a boy for cryin out loud. you're supposed to get a little dirty now and then."

4. Jon needs to take control of his house and put his foot down with Kate.  Anytime the kids have fun she wants to end it all.  I'd hate to be a kid in that house!  Too much stress and too scared to breathe or move.

5. I hate it when she makes her kids go hungry if they spill or drop even one bite of food.  I mean, they are kids. The little ones especially are not going to be 100% neat all the time in eating. They are doing the best they can for their age.  I've seen her more than once send them to time out and throws their dinner away because they spill accidentally. I have seen her once do it to one of her girls because she gave them cereal with milk on it and the kid didn't want milk on their cereal.  I mean, good grief! If the kid didn't want milk on the cereal what's the big deal?Just give her milk to drink and let her munch dry cereal.

6. The Disney show really bugged me.Not just with the freaking out about icecream dripped on clothes as if the whole day was a waste as a result (take the kid to the bathroom and sponge her off instead of making a complete a** of yourself yelling about it and embarrassing yourself and family!) What bothered me about this was the comment in the beginning from her daughter "we're taking vitamins and medicine because we won't be eating organic".. I was like "OMG! She has these kids brainwashed into thinking anything but organic food requires them to take medicine and drugs etc..."   How unhealthy is that!?  Like eating an icecream or a little pizza on a buffet is going to kill a kid on vacation!!

I could go on and on with the problems, mainly caused by the mom,Kate.  It's her way or no way. She needs to so relax and chill out.  The way she talks to her husband and has her kids wound so tight they probably act out in response to her and she doesn't realize it.  If she did say comments about "we don't wear hand me downs" then she needs to come off her high horse with 8 kids and accept the fact that gently worn hand me downs are not something to be ashamed of for her kids. It doesn't mean she can't buy them new shoes, clothes and things too.   I mean good grief, how many mom's and dad's would LOVE to have someone offer hand me downs to them for their kids with the cost of things these days!

She strikes me as having serious control issues, OCD with cleaning and dirt, and serious esteem issues about herself to be this way.

Answer 5

My opinion of Kate has really changed since the last season...the episode where the kids stayed with Aunt Jodie and came home with gum.  One of the boys got the gum on his favorite toy and Kate threatened to throw it away and called Jodie and gave her down the road.  I think she comes across as a selfish person, she is always fussing at her husband, kids and relatives that take care of all of her children!  I came across this blog and it seems to be written by a friend of Jodi's - it has a lot of info.

Answer 6

i can bet you money they get paid big bucks to have that show on tv...she does come across as a person who would more than likely be like that in my book! again i dont know facts just my opinion

Answer 7

I don't think this is true. What is Jodies blog btw? Thanks!

Answer 8

I would Not Doubt It's True.She Treats Her Husband Like c**p and Always seems to Be Up On her High Horse and can never see or get when she does things wrong.I have watched that show for awhile and can not watch it anymore because of the way she acts and treats her husband.I mean 8 Kids are stressful yet you don't see him treating her bad.Not to Mention it's been said more then once he was done after the Twins But It seems like she kind of forced him into it and Now they Have 6 Kids instead of 2.

Answer 9

I don't know if they are true or not.  I stopped watching the show because I got tired of Kate.  I know having multiple kids is hard and stressful but IMO, Kate has a "I'm better than you" attitude and thinks everyone should cater to her.

Answer 10

They are just accusations. It's just like when people talk about celeberties just to put them down. If I were you I'd just watch the show and relax. I personally love it and by what I've seen, I've never thought that way by her. Don't take it too personal of what other people say. Someone else can say things and say that it was kate's sister who said it. They can be rumors and again, they cannot.

Answer 11

Would this be the same Kate that yelled and berated her husband on national TV for  "Breathing loudly"??  She's a control freak. The 2 older girls are wayyyyy past the point where they should cry and whine at the drop of a hat. The show is getting almost painfull to watch....
