User post: Dear Kate Gosselin...PLEASE GO HOME!

Sorry, but I have to agree with the blogger. It's not like Kate is "broke" or couldn't find a job or tv gig closer to home. I mean, for goodness sake, she must spend a fortune on the 24 hour nanny's right? Nobody said she shouldn't work, but was it really necessary to go so far away from her children at a time when they need her most? I think not. I think this was selfishness on her part and just because John is a deadbeat doesn't mean she should have decided to be one too.

I think the whole thing is just plain sad, and as for this ridiculous notion of "we shouldn't judge" that's a crock of crap. It happens everyday...a jury of your peers was put in place for a reason HELLO?? If someone puts their business in the media then they should expect to be called on the carpet for it. I'm glad someone finally had the guts to do it. Bravo!!

I think it's sad she's making a public spectacle of her family/kids. Yes there are lots of single moms/dads out there but they act like normal people, not attention-hungry celebrity wannabees.

Well, I am sure it is pretty expensive to raise 8 children and yes, it is sad they don't have their parents with them all the time but she did not "abandon" her children, if you were on her shoes, honestly, think about it, you have 8 children to support, think 8 braces, 8 college funds, 8 health care bills, and you are single with no job, and all of a sudden an offer falls on your lap,mmmh, What to do? What to do? I bet you would do it too, it is very easy to judge but only her knows what is going on, I can't judge her, I am a stay at home mom with a wonderful husband that makes enough money to allow us do that, but not everybody has that luck, now, Octomom did not abandon her children but she is facing foreclosure and has financial issues right now, Would that make it better for you if Kate would stay home with her children and get evicted? Would that make you feel better?? Judging, Judging, that's all people do, maybe you should get off your high horse and walk on her shoes for a while and then re-write this blog again.

I'm not a Kate fan per se.... don't really care or pay attention. But you really aren't inside their home life or know what's really going on, or who is taking care of the kids. Judge not lest you be judged.... as a "betrayed wife" I would think you've learned that lesson by now.

i find everything about john and kate gosslin to be disgusting to the point of abusive. they neither one deserve to be parents. i am sure that their behavior will scar those poor children permanently if it already hasn't. if they were not "celebrities, i feel sure that they would have already been removed from the home and place in a safe environment.

GO AWAY AND RAISE YOUR CHILDREN!!!

The decision to do the initial reality show was bad enough--a total cop out on Jon and Kate's part. Kate seems pretty self indulgent with the dancing with the stars show, and her new "look". If she was really concerned about her kids, she wouldn't have much time for herself--that's a given. She looks more pampered than any of the moms I know, myself included! Those kids will grow up thinking that the way out of your problems is to get publicity however you possibly can. They don't have much of a chance for a normal life.

People are acting like it is necessary for her to work thousands of miles away from her children in order to make ends meet. Give me a break! She needs to downsize like every other mother so that she can put her children FIRST... what a concept huh? She has another show in the works and probably a book. It is an insult to the intelligence of GOOD mother's to accept that the only place she can pull an income is on the other side of the country, away from her kids. Whatever!

And yes, I'm judging, just like I judge child molesters and women who drown their children because their new beau doesn't want kids... and anyone who says they don't judge is a liar. I call people out on their outrageous behavior and expect them to call me out on mine. So get real with this "don't judge" foolishness, children are violated and abused everyday because of people who don't want to get involved, stand up for what's right, or judge bad behavior. You put your parenting in the media as the basis for a television show, then you can expect to be judged on your parenting babe, OKAY??

Glad she's gone, and hope she stays close to home...at least for the weekend.

Please. I'm no fan of Kate either. But the woman has a deadbeat husband and 8 kids. She has to work. And working for TV pays more than her other job, which I thought was nursing.

Speaking of her former job, would we be so judgmental if Kate had to work the night shift as a nurse, leaving those kids with a nanny? That would mean that the kids would go to school in the daytime and she wouldn't see them very much either. Or do we just judge because she's Kate Gosselin, the mom America loves to hate?
