It seems to me that you can be famous AND be a good Mother. What has she done to harm her kids other than put them on TV? The amazing thing to me is that when this started, Jon and Kate had everyone's support. They were just the best parents ever and they did nothing wrong. If you look at the FACTS. not what you read or hear in gossip columns and those other rags and look at this for what it is. These are two people trying to raise 8... thats right EIGHT kids in todays world! Let her dance in peace! I was never a real fan of the show, but have learned to admire her for her zealous effort to support her kids in every sense of the word. Accept the fact that she is famous now and if she needs to use that fame to support her kids and show them what the world is about then let her. If not then condemn ALL of the actress/ famous Moms out there trying to do the same thing!

I realize raising 8 children is veryt difficult. My husband and I raised 5 on very limited money. However, I notice how Kate has become very into herself. Her nails, hair, clothes, etc. are not what a mother trying to get by worries about. I had to do without a lot. It was not about me but what was best for my family. She could have saved some money when she had the TV show. I used to feel sorry for her husband. She was very bossy and always correcting him. Everything had to be her way. I do not wish her any harm In just do not like her!!!

Kate is an amazing women who came out on top, she is living a dream. She is beautiful and smart and has really come along way, she could just be sitting home collecting welfare going "oh poor me" like octomom. and the reason she treated Jon like a kid is because he is one, it's hard to treat a boy like a man, that's why she was so mean to him.

Call it whatever you want. She has to be in the lime light and I can't believe America has bought into it hook line and sinker. I am disgusted that if her kids can't be on TV she is.... what a joke! She and the Octomom should live together and compare notes!

I get it!! You have moved up in the world!! The million dollar home, better life style... But Dancing with the Stars Give me a break... You are not a celebrity... You are a mom of 8 kids that had a reality show gone wild... Yes, you were controlling, yes, your hubby was a door mat.. We are over it... I know a nurse's salary can not support your current lifestyle but Dancing with the stars come on... You are definitely pushing it... I really enjoy this show but can not stomach it this time.. Please let me know when she is sent home so I can tune in... ,It is not personal, nothing against her but enough is enough... Go back to P.A.!! Write another book!! lol

I used to think Kate treated Jon terribly until it all came out in the wash about what he was doing while she was keeping their family going. I think she is smart, ambitious and resourceful. Say what you like but if people didn't want to see her, they wouldn't be asking for her to appear on shows and in competitions.

I agree that it seems unfair that Marie Osmond and others are not criticized for leaving their kids to perform or make appearances. In fact, she went right back to her Vegas show after her son committed suicide. And no one criticizes the Kardashians and the like for putting their whole existance on camera. Every time you flip by their show, its some totally inappropriate, over-the-top drama. But they're rich, sexy (for lack of more appropriate phrases I'd deem appropriate) and younger so its ok that they are media leeches.

Give the woman a break!

I never watched her reality show and could care less about her or her husband. They are just average working stiffs like the rest of us that got themselves 10 minutes of fame. If Kate wants 11 minutes - who cares! She has to feed her 8 kids and educate them and provide a home for them. Its hard to raise 2 kids on the greedy climate that prevails today so if she has chosen to dance to keep the money coming in, so what. Did she earn millions on her show? If so, both she and Jon budget badly. If she is willing to put herself through the grueling process of spending nearly 20 hours a day rehearsing in order to get money, why are we concerned or even involved. That is just more media trying to sell papers.

YOU GO GIRL!!!! Do the damm thing! Its your time to shine and what ever money you make I feel confident you will take better care of your children with. Who would not want this woman to do good? Her boyband left her with KIDS!! Give me a break!! Kick butt all the way to the BANK!!! with your babies.

Kate stay home! Sell the house and live within your means. If you did not have eight kids, you will not be in the position you are in today. I think it is all about you and what you can get from others. You are very selfish. You had Jon in the palm of your hands since day one. He should have put you in your place along time ago. When the show became popular, I think that is when you became obnoxious towards him in front of TELEVISION!!!

Kate can talk all she wants to about earning money to support her family -- and I don't doubt that she doesn't need to do that. However, she certainly has enough money for bodyguards, hair extensions, plastic surgery, shopping, eating out, flying around the country, whatever. When I was struggling to raise two kids on a secretary's salary, I had to forego manicures, shopping for myself, and hair appointments, etc. It's supposed to be all about the kids. Kate is all about Kate. Anyone who thinks otherwise is truly fooled. I don't doubt she loves her kids - I just think she wants to ride this fame train as far as she can. She won't get a vote of mine - that's for sure!

Why does everyone pick on Kate all the time??? Let the woman alone, she is just doing her best. If she went back to work as a nurse and was working double shifts to support her kids, she wouldn't even come close to what she will make for dancing. Who would sign up for 20 hour days of practice just to get more fame in her situation. Please remember who left who, Jon was cheating on her, and she didn't ask for this, she thought it would be forever. Unless you walk in someone's else's shoes, you don't know what your would do in that situation. I think she is a great mother and loves her children very much. She might have treated Jon bossy at times, but he was like a little child himself and someone had to step up to the plate. LEAVE THE POOR WOMAN ALONE AND STOP BEING SO MEAN!!!! Remember, he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Good Luck Kate.
