Is Kate over-bearing and over-controlling? YES. But how would YOU be if you had 8 children? She is a nurse by profession, which I don't think is ever taken into consideration. She is the main caregiver, regardless of how it is construed, for eight small beings. I'm sick and tired of people saying she brought this upon her self! She has remained constant in her personality throughout the show. I don't think there is anything wrong with having high expectations and hopes for your husband. And when they disappoint you? You have the right to be disappointed!!
John married and had children very young. Well isn't he special? So did I, and so do hundreds of thousands of other people. No, those people don't all have 8 kids, but they don't have all the perks of being on television either. It bothers me that just when Kate has found something that makes her really happy, John decides he can't do it anymore. I'm almost positive he resents her for her new-found success as a speaker/writer. He is having to stay home with the kids more, and not getting to leave by himself every day for work anymore. I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy.
And the backstabbing by Kate's family members? I do not understand, obviously something horrible has happened in their relationships and it could very well be all her fault. Still, she is, in my opinion, doing her damnedest to keep things stable for all those pretty babies.
I don't want to hear that she's only cooking on the show to promote a new cookbook. There have been dozens and dozens of shows during which she cooked. Newflash to the media? Stay -at-home-moms cook for their children.
It's just wrong all the way around with everyone involved, but she is not a demon. She is their MOTHER. I would work my ass off just as hard to make things appear right when they weren't, to keep my kids safe, and make sure that the people who were in their lives were there for the right reasons.
Ok, end of my rant.

Hahaa. I loved the rant. I mean, I totally agree and think John is being completely immature about things. Yeah, maybe he needs time away, but seriously, think about what you're doing. And does Kate get to go party? Nope. She's at home while he is. It's just all really silly and he totally should have thought things over way more before he did stuff. So he didn't cheat, which is great, but he certainly was shirking responsibility. Kate needs to get out, too, and it's good that she's writing/speaking (I didn't know that. lol).
Anyway. Glad you got the rant out, and it enlightened me a little more. ;)

WOOT. I agree.
Amen!
I think she is just easy to hate or dispise, because of the long history of overbearing and bitchy behavior. Not that I'm not saying none of that behavior isn't justified or even reasonable. It's just.....ugh.
I agree completely! Hope you pop by Crabby and read 'why Jon brings out the b--ch in Kate!
Hope you are well! And miss you.
