You're a great mother!
- Kate, you're a wonderful mother!You do so many amazing things with the kids! If any day you feel your job is hard, just remember, you have eight smiling faces to hug! I think you should continue your show without your husband, everyone loves seeing your adorable kids, I sure do! Plus, if you continue the show, you will get money, and it will help your family.

Be Optimistic!!!!
- Kate I understand what you are going through! I went through a divorce recently. My husband had been carrying on an affair with our 13-year-old babysitter for four years. This young lady moved into my home and took over all my belongings. I lost it, and left Michigan and moved to Florida.I had no one on my side - not even the law. I'm the one that went to jail for trying to get what was mine when she said it was all hers. I was the bread winner. While I worked as a nurse and lived off my trust fund my husband never had anything or even a job in his life but two little kids with no mom.I somehow fell for him and the kids.He spent all my money and allowed this little girl to move in my home.Also my daughter rode the bus with this girl and was teased by her.I could so tell you the rest of the things that went on but do your thing and keep those angels close to you. Do all you can do!!!I lost it and left my life behind leaving my two teenagers with their real dad. TRUST IN GOD!

Chin Up; You'll be Fine
- Do what makes you happy and allows you to take care of your beautiful children. When its all over their legacy is really all you have. I think the show should continue until you don't want to do it anymore. However, if it ends...I think you could give Oprah Winfrey a run for her money as a talk show host. You are a beautiful woman and a fine public speaker (and opinionated). These are good qualities for a talk show host. America does not have too many talk show hosts that focus on family issues or raising children. I think you could have a market niche there. Would TLC be looking into something like that? Good Luck.

Hang in there !
- I do believe that your " soon to be ex" will screw up royally and the media will eat him up. I feel it is a terrible thing to be seen with another woman when the divorce is not final. I think you should rise above all that stuff, not be seen with another man in a romantic way until after the divorce is final. It will certainly save your reputation and will certainly look far better in your children's eyes. I wish you much luck, I feel you are a go-getter and you will do just fine.

HANG IN THERE !!
- I think I was the only one that first thought your "soon to be ex" was kind of a whimpy guy. I can only imagine what it must be like to keep track of all your kids and stay on top of all the tasks that has to be done, so I never blamed you for loosing your temper. People's true colors eventually come out and I believe your "soon to be ex" will mess up big time and the media will eat him up. So stay clean, focused and you will do just great. Oh, and wait til the divorce is final to be seen with another man. I think that is very important for your reputation.

Have adviced for Kate?
- Kate, I think you should definitely continue your show. Don't let Jon stand in the way. You are too beautiful and too wonderful to let that jerk ruin what you have going. I would, however, give the kids some time to get a handle on things. They look incredibly sad and it's hard to watch. I've been in your place and it's brought back some terrible memories. I think you can get the show on the road and focus on healing, keep it real. No one needs to see Jon...he's a creep. How could he leave those beautiful children and his beautiful wife. UGHHH!

You Cannot Serve 2 Masters
- You need to decide what is more important to you and make what is important a priority. Money is great to have; it pays the bills, but its not everything. We only get one chance to be parents to our beautiful babies and that is the most worthwhile experience that money cannot buy. One day all the materials of this world will be a vanity of vanities - you first need to seek the purpose of your existence, Be the best mom,the best friend and neighbor you can be. Lastly, love the lord with all your heart, He knows better than anyone in the world. Seek his advise more than that of people you will be surprised.

Sound Advice
- Ms. Kate Gosselin,God bless you all during these trying times! My advice,pray a lot, as I am sure being a Christian girl you do. Hold your head up high.

Stop the Show!!
- No!! It is time to stop the show and focus on putting her family back together. Kate is too controlling but needs to realize she can't have things HER way all the time. She definately has OCD. She has to realize that she has contributed to this catastrophe as much as Jon has. I don't know for sure if Jon cheated on her or not, only he can answer that, but when you castrate a man the ways she did on a regular basis they will rebel eventually. Both of them need to grow up, stop being in the public eye, go to marriage counseling, and put their family back together. It isn't too late! They each say they're thinking of their children but they aren't. I remember shows from way back where Jon would take Kate shopping because she admitted she had no taste. Look at her now, Miss Socialite. I'm sure if she stopped treating her husband like a DOG (for example; toy store incident) and let him make some of the decisions they wouldn't be in this mess right now. Jon needs to grab some balls.

Kate--Chin up!
- I have watched you from the beginning and it is a tribute to your strength,drive, and ability to mother 8 miracles! These people who ridicule you are terribly short-sighted and I believe, jealous. Can't they not see that Jon is immature and unwilling to carry his part of the responsibility? It is obvious in the reruns how he was breaking down,and how it was affecting your behavior toward him. We can only hope he can mature enough to remember the love you and he shared and make an effort to restore it. Best Wishes, Tedi

Hang it up
- Get real - take care of those kids. No one will want you as a speaker now. Your kids are getting too old for the show and it isn't the same.Neither are you. Say good-bye to the spa, your books that you write, and the beautiful clothes you wear and really love, in every sense of the word, your kids - not the perks.

Love...Learn...Love
- Jon and Kate, our family truly hopes that you can come to some compromise. I see that there are many people out there giving advice...especially about the kids, who are the most important, as you know. We truly hope for a positive outcome and that you have peace and love in your family. Jon and Kate we are praying for your family at this difficult time. We hope that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and that things can be clearer for you.

Really sorry
- I used to watch your show but somehow I felt really sorry to your husband who was always put in the background as you constantly cast a shadow on him. He could hardly get to talk and when he did you would put him down most times. The man is the head of the house no matter what!

Wife,Mother,Business Owner..
- I feel very strongly about women being able to handle motherhood and a career at the same time. One of the things we are very good at is multi-tasking and I admire you for your drive. However, I am disgusted to see you air your troubles on TV. It is sad when you and Jon are "avoiding" each other in front of the kids and the camera. They certainly can feel the pressure and having the added chaos of a camera crew there to witness it????!! Come on now...you are both mature adults. Turn the cameras off....take a break from filming, let the kids be kids and get them away from the 100% adult world they live it and give them a real life! You and Jon "owe" it to them to give up the financial wealth and give them a normal life. It can't last forever and in the very near future, Jon and Kate will be a bad memory and you will both just be a staticis from a reality show that went nowhere. Doesn't seem worth it to me...and the rest of the viewing audience. No more TLC for our family!

To Kate
- I happened upon this website attempting to locate an e-mail for you. After reading some of the opinionated "advice" pretense I decided to first apologize for many hard-hearted advice givers. There are several sad attempts at self aggrandizement just like the Body of Christ kicking it's soldiers when wounded. I apologize for all of them. My feelings are that you should continue on with your show. It is a service to us all. As you have seen there are a few people who are jealous of you from the start but most of us love and revere you. You are outstanding as a mother. Don't let anyone else tell you differently. I trained mothers for years in how to balance large families. You do very well. I am sorry for the new decisions, but have seen it coming for a while. I do not in any way condemn you for it. Others who do are deluded and probably hurting in their own lives. I have seen this over and over again through the years. Have heart, sister. You are loved and supported in prayer.
