DRAMA...

My homepage on the Internet is set to AOL.com and I can see the latest breaking news around the world. I use to watch Jon and Kate plus Eight on TLC and I loved the interaction between the parents and children. The Gosselins seemed to be a normal family with life struggles and of course caring for eight children. I remember the Episode when Jon and Kate took the girls to Disney World and all of them had matching dolls and attended breakfast with the Disney Characters. It reminded me of going to Florida with my father, mother and sister about 10 years ago, but I preferred the beach more. Although this family has suffered a rough year with Jon not being “happy” and cheating on his wife, which is his highly unacceptable. The divorce was final December 18, 2009 and her words were "I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the New Year, focusing on the children," Kate said in a statement. "On behalf of myself and my legal team, I want to express my deep appreciation to the Judge and his staff, as well as to the arbitrator, for resolving this case." It just blows my mind that they ended a marriage when the two needed to work out a plan and get help fast. Personally, I think TLC ruined this family because of all the fame that interfered with their marriage, but again they signed up for it because of the money. As an Elementary Education major, I think about the children’s background and hope that all of them can still find time to focus on school instead of divorce, fighting or even abuse in the family. I also noticed that the Gosselins have recently sold their home for twenty-two thousand dollars less than what they bought it for in 2006. The new Homebuyer Tax Credit is a great way for people to start a family and enjoy a few extra dollars to make house payments or necessities. It is based upon the choices we make and hopefully we can all be successful in our lives.

  1. It's amazing to me that anyone thinks their life would somehow be enhanced by inviting camera crews to tape them 24/7. Outside of that I feel bad for the two Gosselin's for the bad decisions that the two of them made that their kids will have to live with. But I am happy that they got the divorce, that was a horrible marriage. I only watched a couple episodes and it's only my opinion but Jon should've just left her earlier. There was no need to cheat but she had divorce written all over her the way she treated him.
