How about when that plastic surgeon’s wife was watching Jon & Kate and felt sorry for Kate, so she had her husband do plastic surgery on her face - gratis, paying all other expenses. Looks like she now has a great hair stylist. Good thing that, in addition to the kids, she is attractive. I stopped watching it much after that, and now, not at all.

Theresa Mulhern said: “Every child deserves to grow up with dignity and privacy, as well as nurturing and care.” Exactly!!!!

My bad…you are right. I am sure that her abdomen was a total sag after carrying 6.

I am the mother of two grown sons and have no idea of what it would be like to raise  14.  I also believe that children need two parents.  I have taught too many who are without either father or mother and it makes a huge difference.  I have also come to the point where I do not want to support other people’s children.  I know that there are many who feel that we, who work, should pick up the slack for those who do not, and in the case of those who are afflicted physically or have mental or psychological problems that causes them to be unable to function in the work world, I completely understand and agree that we should help them.  However, I am fed up with supporting the results of a fling or a hot date or someone who wanted a big family because she was lonely as a child.  Why do we hold baby showers for high school girls who should be having prom dates instead of labor pains?  Why do we celebrate the fact that she and the father (who may or may not be around in a few months) are having a child that was unplanned and will be, more likely than not, stuck in front of the TV babysitter while mom bemoans her fate.  These pathetic girls do not seem to understand that they are being so unfair to these children who deserve much more than their mothers are able or capable of giving them.  And, though I do feel sorry for them, I don’t want the responsibility either.  My kids are raised.  My husband and I waited until we were married to have them and we worked hard to raise them and provide for them.  If I help anyone out, I want to be able to help my kids should they need it.  I am at the point in life where I do not want to pay for somebody else’s mistakes or desires.  If Ms Suleiman had half a brain, which I am not convinced she has, she would make 8 childless couples happy and go home and take care of the 6 children she already cannot afford.

Ok why are some of you slamming the gosselins They have money lots of it they have nannys. Kate Gosselins wasnt trying to have 6 kids it Just happend. Unlike Nadya Sulemen who already had 6 kids 3 of them have special needs!! she is on freaking welfair and lives with her parents in a very small bungalo. How dare some of you critasize kate her whole world is those kids!! shame on you!!

This is not unlike the crazy ladies who have 150 cats. She is quite obviously mentally imbalanced, to anyone who can look at this objectively. The whole thing is just tragic.

Kate Gosselin has every right to give her opinion on the octuplets’ mom, just as everyone else does. There are a lot of differences between the Gosselin children and the octuplets. First of all, Jon and Kate only had twins when they tried for “one more”. Kate took medication to stimulate her ovaries to produce eggs, not IVF. There were no embryos implanted in Kate. For this woman and her doctor to implant 6 embryos (one of the embryos split into twins) into a mother of 6 is most definitely going too far and incomparable to the Gosselin 8. I love watching Jon & Kate Plus 8. Their children are very well behaved, have amazing personalities and have incredible language development. I have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and am most impressed and yes, entertained by the show. I do not see any exploitation as far as the kids possibly feeling exploited. Not one of you would turn down an opportunity to be on television and to be able to make money for your child’s education. Jon and Kate give to many charities including Pediatric Cancer and Ronald McDonald House. The octuplet mom said over and over again that she wanted children to fill a need of unconditional love that she lacked as an only child. Six children didn’t fullfill her “need”, 14 or 50 won’t either. This mom needs serious counseling.

I completely & totallt support The Gosslin’s, I am a huge fan of their show & don’t feel they exploit their children at all. They are 2 people that could not have children on their own so had a little help. They are doing a fantastic job raising their children & really make a great family considering there are so many of them, they make it seem so easy. As for the Octo-mom, I do not support her decision to bring 14 children into this world as a single, unemployeed woman, but wish her all the best. She has a long road ahead of her & hopefully she will make the best of it.

I don’t think it’s "sister bashing" to say Suleman "went off the deep end",  to say "the light is on but, nobody’s home", " a few brick shy of a full load"…etc….OK, say it simple = Suleman is nuts.

Suleman is irresponsible. Suleman is mentally ill. Suleman is a user of people, a con artist, a leach.

This woman was deceptive to everyone that was trying to help her in conceiving these children……..or they were all hoping to profit from it. Anyway, since Suleman is mentally ill they all took advantage of the mentally ill.

IF you have the money to have 14 children….you can house them, feed them, pay their medical insurance, buy transportation big enough to transport them, clothe them, send them to school…..then, by all means, knock yourself out…just don’t ever die or get sick…..make sure you have a trust set aside in advance to support them in case you die or become disabled.

What makes anyone think they can just take and take and never give back? This woman needs a JOB……from that JOB she needs to save enought for an apartment…and pay her medical insurance…and buy her food……then, the state can let her take 1 child home (all under close supervision and with mental health counseling for Suleman)…..once she can prove she can support herself and 1 child in total without taxpayer support…then let her take a second child home….etc. Give her 1 year to be in total support and have money/income in place to support the rest…..if she can’t do it, then, adopt the remaining children and give them achance…no need for them to be punished for their foolish mother and her absurd idean/plans.

I’m 59 and would like to retire…..but, who is going to pay my insurance, buy my food, pay my taxes, repair my auto, etc? Hurt almost two years ago with bad neck and back injuries, but, I am working, and not using taxpayers dollars (doubt I could get them anyway)….how can we keep paying for people to do crap like this? It really does need to stop…it’s stupid. Helping stupid, irresponsible people to do stupid, irresponsible things like this.

Complain people….call Children & Family services and plead theses children be removed from Suleman’s care…….complain about payinng taxes to support these nuts.

You just don’t do this if you can’t afford to raise the children.

I am so tired of people bashing the Gosselins. They are not monsters exploiting their kids. These kids are very much loved and well taken care. Yes these kids are making money, but most all of it is used for their benefit. They have wonderful lives and get to experiance so many things that they may never have gotten if it were not for the show.

Has it ever occured to any of you that maybe they did this show to provide their children with a better future? The kids will be able to go to college because of this show. Do you have any idea what it would have cost them  to put eight kids through college?

I am also sick of people saying they do not work. Kate is a mother to eight children! SHE WORKS! As far as Jon goes, he free lances from home. He has a job with an income. They also did not have all these children because they were seeking fame. 

And honestly all of you haters who are bashing the Gosselins, if you were offered a TV deal that would insure your children’s future, most of you would jump at the chance!

Jon and Kate do have jobs if you watched the show! She was a nurse until she had the children. Then Jon does have is own job! Unlike the Nadya lady whom has lived off the gov’t and lied to everyone about it.

Kate, you’re a hypocritical BITCH. You make money gonig to Churches and getting up telling women, "Vote Pro-Life", "I’m the perfect Christian mother", and then you have the audacity to turn against a woman who is being stoned by the public. You don’t have to agree with all of her choices, but you are one of the only people who could have offered her support, and you’ve offered her none. Very Christ-Like, Kate. You disgust me.

Let me start by saying I am not supportive of Nadya Suleman in any way. I have two special needs children and can’t see how one person could possibly be capable of caring for 14 children, some with special needs, on her own. It is going to be nearly impossible for her to provide each one of them with as much attention as they each deserve.

However it makes my blood boil to read Kate Gosselin’s comments about this woman. Hey Kate, did you ever stop to think you and your greed influenced this woman and who knows how many others like her that we’ll hear about in the future? You are famous and for what? Having a uterus? You didn’t even try to conceive naturally. You had a feeling it would be difficult to conceive because of your condition and just jumped on the fertility bandwagon without even trying. You have no special talent or gift you are sharing with the world. You aren’t even filming episodes in line with your show’s mission statement anymore. Didn’t you create this show to show the world what it’s like to raise two sets of multiples? What other family with multiples lives like yours? You are hardly ever shown on camera actually playing or interacting with your children. You’re constantly yelling at them to get away and give you your space. You take lavish all expense paid trips to Hawaii, California, Utah, and Disney World just to name a few. Your family gets private backstage tours at museums, aquariums, and just about any other place you go. Your children are always dressed in Gymboree clothing. Even on sale one outfit even from a Gymboree outlet can cost $30+ and you are putting all eight of them in Gymboree on every episode? You yourself are a walking advertisement for Ann Taylor. How many times have we seen your linen closet with a lifetime supply of Johnson’s bath products? The list of freebies goes on and on.

I watched Jon & Kate from the beginning. The family is not the same. The kids are not the same. It’s clear some of them don’t want to be involved in the filming anymore but as proven by the season finale Kate doesn’t care. Their family has everything handed to them on a silver platter. They purchased a 1.3 million dollar home before they even sold their old one. They are well off enough, and have been for a long time, to turn away donations that aren’t brand new, color coordinated, latest fashion, all matching sets. They have fame, fortune, and wealth. Taxpayers may not have had to pay Kate’s medical bills but anyone who supports the show is essentially supporting that family. Neither parent has a real job outside the home yet somehow they must still have a nanny…wait, sorry, I mean a “helper”…to take care of their kids. To someone like Suleman who is clearly obsessed with celebrities,fame, and children, I’m sure she was somehow influenced by families like the Gosselins. Their show makes it look so easy. All she had to do, based on Kate’s example, was have a set of multiples and wait for donations to start pouring in. Sadly despite all the bad press she’s getting, she is actually getting what she desired. She’s turning away donations (except financial ones) because she supposedly has no room for them. Shame on you Kate for criticizing Suleman when from where I’m sitting you may very possibly have influenced her to have this many children.
