Back in May, I explained why I had never posted about the Gosslin family before, and I really thought I wouldn't blog about them again because I feel bad about how much they are getting talked about.
But...I can't resist after last night's episode. Funny thing real quick...K got home right before it was about to come on and I told him I had seen on the internet they had filed for divorce so obviously that was going to be the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. As if we all couldn't see it coming. Anyways, K said "they are also going to announce that the new show is going to be called 'Jon Plus 4 and Kate Plus 4'" What if the actually did that?...it would be exactly like "The Parent Trap." Which I always thought was very weird, who has ever heard of a divorced couple splitting the kids evenly then taking half each? Funny idea though, Jon would probably take the boys and Cara, since Kate has said before that she thinks boys are yucky.
Ok that was a random tangent...back to Jon and Kate. Having watched the show since the beginning and feeling almost like I know the Gosslins hearing that they are divorcing makes me very sad. Divorce is always sad, but when children are involved it is even worse.
However, it seems like Jon just wants out, it made me sick that he was all "I'm only 32" and that he now drives a sports car, has two diamond earrings (is the double earring look on men even cool anymore? was it ever?), dresses in all Ed Hardy and apparently is moving into the Trump Tower. Grow up Jon. I know Kate acted like a bitch but she genuinely seems heartbroken...and he seems like he wants to start the party. If he wanted to stop her from walking all over him he should have started earlier and communicated, rather then getting a girlfriend (which after last night I think that whole thing is probably true.)
What I can't wrap my mind around is why they wouldn't stop the show and focus on making their marriage work. Maybe getting some counseling? Wouldn't THAT be the best thing for their children? Maybe the marriage has deteriorated too much to be saved, but I get the impression they are giving up. The whole vow renewal in Maui "so their kids would know their parents would always be together" thing was not all that long ago. Was that just a ploy for a free vacation and a chance for TLC to cross promote "Say Yes to the Dress?" Sad.
The only people this isn't sad for are the folks at the Crooked Playhouse company (which are adorable by the way but probably crazy expensive.) They got extremely lucky with the placement of their episode. Someone at TLC better be getting a nice fruit basket this morning. The Crooked Playhouse site is actually down because of too much volume.

I feel so bad for the kids too. And even though I always thought Kate was a total B to Jon, he never stood up for himself either and I really think he's just giving up because he wants to feel young and single again. The earrings would not help him in real life but since he's a "celeb", I'm sure he won't have a problem with the ladies. UGH.
I couldn't even believe when Jon said "I'm excited..." I was shocked! The first thing I noticed were his new earrings and I totally agree that he just wants to be single and run away from his responsibilities.
Kate has been super aggressive at times, but she still seems to care. I feel so bad for the kids, I hope Jon stays close and doesn't move to NYC.
Ok, I haven't watched the show yet but heard they filed for divorce and then watched the announcement clip on Facebook today. It is beyond sad!!!! I always say, you never know what happens behind closed doors, they may have tried counseling already. I know that at one point they were semireligious people, haven't seen Bible verses around their new house though. Although, Jon does seem to have "checked out" of the relationship completely. IT IS JUST SAD!!!!!
Yeah, it should be Kate plus 9, because Jon really is another child.
