The episode did little to show anyone a softer side of Kate. She was controlling and condesending and to watch her compared to earlier episodes is a big change. From what I saw she just stood there ordering Jon around. Either Kate is and has always been that way or the show has changed her, I think Kate has let the show go to her head. This was, I agree with others, Kate at her worst. <BR/><BR/>Jon did however admit the items being sold were sent to them or donated. This still leads me to believe the Gosselins need to tell people they are FINANCIALLY set and not just blessed. Since most people whom attend church don't necessarily think of blessed as a monetary thing. Blessed can mean so much more. <BR/><BR/>But what great works have they done to sell things they didnt pay for to donate those proceeds to a worthy charity. I gave 3 times that amount in clothing last year to AMVETS. <BR/><BR/>Personally I think they are walking a thin line at the churches. If they say they are wealthy I'm sure the donations might be less. If they charge a fee then that I have no problem with. And while I have no reason to disagree with the comments of the mod that saw them, I think they come just short of giving people a real impression of how well off they now are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-46526335276385225092008-12-01T03:58:00.000-08:002008-12-01T03:58:00.000-08:00I think Bertha posted here by accident and really ...I think Bertha posted here by accident and really needed to post at GWOP - has she even read the posts on this site.

Course, I am not a morning person at all and I can relate, LOL! But if I was being filmed I might make the effort to be a little more positive. . All in all, it was a nice thing to do and selling things you don't use is the American way. We sometimes had things for our kids that they were less than enamored with and I would sell them at the Mothers of Twins tag sales. The looked new because they just about were. Can never tell what kids will play with or what they will dislike. I didn't see a problem with this episode really. It's something they did and I'm sure it helped clear out the amount of things to move. I might have kept my dad's golf bag to hand down to my sons though. I felt a little bad about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-67796436929482183152008-11-29T23:18:00.000-08:002008-11-29T23:18:00.000-08:00Nancy, I don't know what the secret word was that ...Nancy, I don't know what the secret word was that made MS go off.merrywayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003385150622139910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-122032528727789352008-11-29T23:16:00.000-08:002008-11-29T23:16:00.000-08:00Nancy, you WON!

We manage very well. I don't know how long you have been a teacher, but I have been teaching for 10 years. If you are new at teaching, you just might need more experience. You sound a little high-strung, so perhaps you should think about a different career, if you are not happy.<BR/><BR/>Kate has Jon to help her, and Jon is a BIG help. Kate is lucky to have such a good helper. Jon does most of the hands-on care if not all of it. So, if anyone should be exhausted, it's Jon.<BR/><BR/>You should not have been so rude to Nancy, (and you were) but she was just making a comment.peanutbutterjellytimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054858454346394200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-44739256091250628112008-11-29T13:39:00.000-08:002008-11-29T13:39:00.000-08:00I have to say that Bertha seems a bit angry and I'...I have to say that Bertha seems a bit angry and I'm not sure why. My sister has nine children and I see what she goes through. Bertha is forgetting that Kate has Jon to help her. In fact, Jon does alot as far as taking care of the children goes. Just think about what Jon does. We all here watch the show and we see what Jon does on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>So Bertha, you say you have about 12 students with 2 teachers sometime 3, and it's very overwhelmimg? That's a light load compared to what I have seen, and I visit classrooms all the time to talk to pre-schooler's.

You couldn't possibly know what Kate Gosselin goes through every single day. I just happened to click on this cite, and I am very astonished to see how rude and inconsiderate you people are. I am a pre school teacher and have about 12 students in my class with 2 teachers and sometimes a third. It is very overwhelming, and I can barely take care of these kids and I'm not even their mothers!

To "merryway": I agree with what you said about having "a couple of Kates" in your family; we spent Thanksgiving at the home of one of our "Kates" and it was... interesting. I was the recipient of some disrespect, all because I asked for a serving spoon which had been omitted from one of the dishes. Evidently the Kate-like hostess took it as criticism rather than a simple request for a spoon. She went off on a tirade for perhaps 3 minutes, then it was over. She is not always like that and can be a very giving and kind person. Just not at that moment. Kate impresses me as being the same way.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006099582027100854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-56404286359336798862008-11-27T05:41:00.000-08:002008-11-27T05:41:00.000-08:00I think that Kate and Jon are wonderful parents. ...I think that Kate and Jon are wonderful parents. First of all their kids are obviously happy. Second, countless times on the show I have seen the kids say please and thank you. Of course they are loved!

They may get freebies, but who wouldn't turn down a trip to Hawaii?

I think she's trying to improve herself, if nothing else, I would think she would do it for the success of the show and her children's security. She also has more reason these days to be relaxed given their success. While their life seems busy, she should haven't the great stress about financial security anymore.<BR/><BR/>I think because of her fame, she's had a lot stuff pushed in her face about herself. The public has held up a real big mirror for her to see herself in. She's prob been forced to think about stuff that she might not have given thought to for another twenty years or so, if ever.<BR/>I've mentioned before I have a couple of Kate's in my family and I always wonder at their sense of entitlement. I'm not talking about greed, but about how things should be done their way and who should do what. Questioning or any delay of the direction given will upset the diva foreman and lead to being demeaned or snarled at while being redirected. A mention of how much the diva foreman has done and must do is usually thrown in there for good measure. A spaz moment could happen at any time.<BR/>In this episode, every instance I expected Kate to freak out, the opposite happened. She just complained about the morning, the tables being late, the signs, the dirty tables. She was a restrained diva foreman when she was holding up the sign that she wanted to go to the other yard sale. I expected her to quick with the customer while she was on the phone and she wasn't it. I'm sure she was nice to everyone. It was a long day and she was on her feet the whole time. Compared to episodes where Kate has freaked out over nothing, I thought she did well for all the problems. The Kates I know would bitch about it all night to their husbands, so I have to wonder if Jon heard lots of complaining that night.<BR/><BR/>The yard sale in itself seemed like a charity as they let stuff go for little. Not the best way to raise a lot of money, but I like the theory.<BR/><BR/>As for letting some stuff with memories go, that is always difficult but necessary. Glitter is the worst. It is so hard to get up and it always seems to get around the eyes.<BR/><BR/>Many baby resell shops sell potties and baths. Bleach and hot water, and it's not a bad idea to sun them for a few hours. REUSE!!!<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving All!merrywayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003385150622139910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875099505545555742.post-30384303824394056192008-11-25T21:45:00.000-08:002008-11-25T21:45:00.000-08:00Let me put it a different way...I think Kate is in...<B>Let me put it a different way...I think Kate is inherently a cold, controling, non-fuzzy person. Some people are inherently nice, friendly and easy-going, with a lapse everynow and again of bitchy behavior. With Kate, I think it is the opposite....we see here lapses of niceness.</B><BR/><BR/>I also think this is affected because all we see of her is edited parts of her day. TLC or whoever edits decides who they want to show. I know if someone was taping my whole day and then cutting it into 22 mins, I probably wouldnt look so hot either.<BR/><BR/>Also, I see Kate as someone who wants to be in control at all times. She sees something spinning out of her control...which is easy to happen when you have 6 4 year olds...she becomes nervous and irratated. Which in turn, to the viewers, makes her look snappy and bitchy! Its not hard to make a villian in a reality show. Just ask any of the Real Worlders out there that Ive seen so many times saying their personality was inaccurately portrayed.<BR/><BR/>On another note: I seen a few other people who were commenting on how good Jon looked in the episode, and I realized I forgot to mention that!
