What did you think?

So much he said, she said going on with them, you know?  As this whole thing keeps going on and on, I feel more and more sorry for their kids. (not that I didn't feel sorry for them-I have for a long time-it is just getting worse and worse now...I used to think that *maybe* they would be shielded from the worst of it, but now their mom and dad are making sure that isn't the case)

And now he is looking into a show about divorced dads with Lindsay Lohan's dadand KFed???  Yeah-that will certainly improve his image.  And here I thought he was the one who *might* decide that continuing in the limelight might not be the best thing for his CHILDREN.

Ugh.  Both of them have screwed up ROYALLY, and are pretty much ensuring that their kids suffer too...

i didn't see his interview, however i did see when kate was on larry king...i've always liked her better =)

anyway, one thing that i really like about her during their divorce, is that she is very quick to say that she isn't going to discuss things that should be private...as far as the divorce and and wanting to prevent the kids hearing something from her ugly about jon.

it's all sad, but i think kate is doing a pretty good job with the kids.

Not to be rude, but LMAO. She has been on a interview tour and I do not think she is keeping it private. She just chooses to not answer questions that she cannot come out looking good in. If she wanted to protect those kids from hearing things then she would pull herself off the TV and stay at home and raise them.

I just finished watching it. I never watched their show, but I wanted to see this interview for some reason. I honestly think he is being somewhat truthful. I think there is a lot of he said, she said, but I also think he has not even said much in all of this. She has been giving interview after interview. I think he must feel like he had to counter some of it.

In the end it is a family ruined and it is a shame they cannot grow up.

Silly me, I guess I sometimes forget to feel bad for a man who feels like his 20s were lost because he was a dad to his kids. He was just as responsible as she was for the kids being created and brought into this world, however, as a mother she doesn't get to just go off galavanting the way he does...yes, she's doing interviews (and of course promoting whatever books she has), but if you read what I said, I said she was trying to prevent the children from hearing her speaking ugly of him...that is what she seems to be trying the hardest to keep private...her feelings about him.

and why should SHE be the only one to stay home and raise them...what about jon? he's out skirting around, falling in love as easily as a 14 year old girl and making an ass of himself...does he seriously think any woman is going to love him because he's a kind wonderful man? no, they are going to want to get with him because he is jon gosslin...plain and simple.

i don't see why mother's are so quick to judge other mothers (in general, not directed at one specifically). this is a perfect example of yet another man getting to have whatever the hell life he wants after divorce, but mom is the one who is mostly responsible for the raising of the children....and bc of that she is the one judged the most harshly. BTDT!

I dont think either is really taking the high road here. And as for the red. They share custody. Hes home when shes not and vice versa. It seems when hes with the kids hes just with the kids so he is staying home and raising them when its his turn IMO.

Im not condoning his other behavior.

She does not stay home to raise the children. Have you ever looked at her book promoting schedule? I mean really she is not the doting parent you are making her to be. I may be wrong, but Jon was the one home when she has been doing this the past two years. I am sure they have a million care takers also.  I think they are both at fault. I think just as you think I am judging another women, I think some women have a bad taste in their mouth about fathers/men. Your last paragraph pretty much tells me the way you feel in terms of men. Not all men are like that and what makes you think she is not getting to have whatever she wants too?

I am not protecting Jon so to speak. I am just simply stating she is no different. I think you have a completely different outlook on it then I do.

Red: let's not forget that she was a sahm for a few years also...she quit her nursing job so she could be home with the kids.


Blue: Kate has said she has hired help to help her care the kids as 8 kids is a lot for anyone.

PINK: NO, I don't have a bad taste in my mouth about father's/men....I have a bad taste in my mouth for men who either just plain DON'T or appear to not want to take care of their kids...men who have said as Jon has in the past, that feel like they missed out on the fun of being in thier 20s because they were a parent, and then want to turn around and blame someone else for it...THAT is what leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Like I said before. We come from two different views on this and that is fine. I am not out to do a tit for tat on these people. I have spent 10 min out of my life to even type this. Funny since I never liked them. I always just disliked her. It is just my personal feeling on  her. Do I know her, no.  Only ever watched one show.

Really they are two people who had a crazy story and more then likely reality TV aided in the crumbling of their marriage. We are all at fault since many watch this train wreck. Who is right, who is wrong? One will really never know the truth of it all. Honestly, does it matter? I just thought that his interview may have been a bit more believable for me compared to her interviews. Again, just a personal observation, not one I expect all to think or feel.

I mean we could go roung and round and it will not change a thing.

I don't believe him anymore than I believe her.  That Kate Major girl has been doing show after show telling how he is lying-they were romantically involved, she quit her job so they could be together because it was a conflict of interest for her to date him and be a tabloid writer, etc.

I am not saying she is telling the truth, but she *seems* as truthful as he does, so who is to know what the truth is?  Plus he supposedly had an affair with that teacher girl too, which he said was lies as well, but again, who knows?

I know this-he has not been acting like a man who is looking out for the best interests of his children.  And he has been seen with far too many single women for me to believe Hailey is the only one he has been romantic with.

Also, not saying I don't believe him that he was beat down emotionally by Kate-I wouldn't have any trouble seeing that as the truth, but my honest opinion is that NO ONE is telling the whole truth here.  You know what they say-there are always 3 sides to every story-his, hers and the truth.

I have no more respect for him than I do for her.  They are both to blame, and they are both making it worse now for their children.  I used to like Jon and feel for him, but not anymore.  His actions have spoken MUCH louder than his words, IMO.
