Todays Parenting Thoughts, New Hawaii Renewal Info

Hello everyone! Happy Labor Day Weekend! Since last weeks thoughts about school supplies went so well (see HERE) my thoughts today is about the expense of having a simple barbecue. Just to have a few friends over for the day cost like almost $400 here easy. Alcohol, food, salads and deserts (because even though someone brings its never enough) plus utensils and such. This is the reason why we don't entertain anymore. Because its much easier to bring a cake to someones else house right? (lol) But here's my story. Today friends of ours noticed their son misbehaving. (he placed his feet on a table) Well his father yanked his arm and smacked his behind in front of everyone. Then made the boy do a time out on our steps. Our mouths gaped open. We all just sat there not knowing what to say. After the family left the whole party was talking about it. "OMG did you see the mom didn't say a word?" Another said "how dare he do that at a party?" When everyone left I asked my mom what she thought, and although she said "as mad as I felt, we have to respect that we should not judge others parenting, that is HIS son." Should I care how my friends parent their kids? So since I link all stories to Jon & Kate, I wonder why some people get off, just because they are on TV, to bash their parenting skills? Aren't those their children? How nasty can people be that they flock to places like GWOP and go on and on when its nobodies business? When does it mean all gloves are off when it comes to people on TV? You should see the hate seething from that site lately, saying the Tups are delayed and how depending on where the Gosselins placed thumbtacks on the site that's how much they love the kids?

New Hawaii Renewal Info
So onto some cool stuff. Someone from another board posted some cool new info regarding the Hawaii Renewal Ceremony. Its from a board in Hawaii you can see HERE. the date he mentions - on July 21st - is the EXACT date that we know they were in fact there. Below is an excerpt:

Re: Jon & Kate Plus Eight
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There will indeed be a Hawaiian episode. Jon has cousins and aunties on Kauai, Maui, and Oahu. The family has been invited to Maui for a show.

I think my friend (Jon's cousin) said it will be later this summer. She also told me the hotel that was sponsoring the trip--but I can't remember the name. It could be Grand Wailea, but I am not sure. Wherever it is, it should be fun! Local family members are going on August 12. I think the Gosselin's will be there for 2 weeks around that date. I heard the Jon and Kate will renew their wedding vows.

and

Nice pic! People Magazine will publish photos in a couple of weeks. Look out for them. We always seem to get our magazines about a month after they hit the stands. My wife always accuses the mail person of holding the issues to read them!

I have heard the new season of Jon & Kate will open in November with the family trips to San Diego and Maui.

So after reading this I hope that its true because I am super excited to see their family. So many haters were like "ohh everyone in the family hates them". The way that they have nitpicked every inch of their new site is the worst case of internet bullies I have ever seen. I wonder if it makes their lives feel slightly better is they are putting some else down. Someone named Pokie even wanted their comment "To me it's just lipstick on a pig.'' nominated for comment of the week. Is that insane? Even Julie herself had to put her two cents in saying"this is just a desperate attempt at damage control." Julie is this your desperate attempt of your last 15 minutes of GWOP fame?? Here is MY nomination for comment of the week from regarding GWOP "They have more nuts over there than any Planters factory." from GDNOP

I need a happy Aaden fix. I love him so. Just dancing with his fruit snacks made me realize why I had kids in the first place. And why I love Jon & Kate. Enjoy.........

New Gosselin Webpage & GWOP Holding a Gun To Paul Peterson?

Ohh Lordy be! I have had the craziest day between parties and holiday fairs. Now I was going to do my usual post after the kids are asleep but every single day there is urgent Gosselin ALERTS! Can't I even enjoy the awesome great new website without GWOP trying to find a way to ruin it? Click HERE to see the new Gosselins10 website. Click HERE to see what Paul Peterson conveniently let slip to the GWOP site on the EXACT same day. Now before most of us started watching Jon & Kate, most of us had probably never heard of Mr. Peterson. But thanks to GWOP we know him now!

"Paul Petersen was a child actor (he played the son on the Donna Reed show) and has been a child advocate for decades. He may not have directly observed filming and he may not be a psychologist, but he has made it his life's work to address the how children in the entertainment industry have been exploited. His work has been instrumental in improving working conditions for children in the film industry." GDNOP

Problem is, though he may have the best intentions regarding this family, being linked to a horrible slander hate site is not exactly helping the cause. And regardless of having months of knowledge of the situation, how bad was it to post TODAY knowing the new site was coming up? Its not like all of the sudden Jon & Kate decided to get a new site. To the haters, its all about damage control. But these same people went on and on that Kate has chefs come to her house everyday just to cook for her. We all know how they were wrong on that one. I feel in my heart J&K took the high road by addressing certain issues on the new site and not slandering the family the way Jodi turned on her. And we know that it was again, all about money.

"I am SO glad I heard about Paul Peterson coming on board"(GWOP) sounds like its a giant ship with guns aiming at Jon & Kate pulling at straws and looking for any sort of advocacy group they can find so it looks like they actually "CARE" about the children. When really all along its some jealous neighbor that started this all because Kate ignored her and she watching this family do well and prosper. Another quote from a more reputable site GDNOP said this:

"I wouldn't doubt for one second that Mr. Peterson has at least browsed gwop and other boards like it. Could he be speaking of the way those boards have "distorted" what J+K do as parents, picking apart every move and comment, making them out to be whatever "monsters" they needed to to get more hits? Diagnosing the kids with mental disorders?

The part about making the kids targets puts me in mind of all of the times I've seen comments here and other places comparing gwop to stalkers. I don't think this had anything to do with J+K's parenting, the kids actions, or even the show in general. I think this was article may have been motivated by the comments and letters Mr. Peterson has received from people who are clearly over invested in these children's lives."

I couldn't agree more. I am not deeply religious but it was especially important to see Kate take the high road in regards to the GWOP site and others looking for money now. What she wrote on her site stuck to me. We could be angry all we want. But at the end of the day this will just be another post for Serena and life will go on. This hopefully will just be another blip (anyone remembering Jodi's video anymore?) and the family can get on with their lives, exactly how they see fit. Because bottom line, those are THEIR kids, and no one should be telling them how to raise them:

Romans 12:21 NIV Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

"Right now, there are so many opportunities for us to repay evil with evil but we refuse. And it hasn't been easy to keep our mouths shut, but it's what God is asking us to do. Continue to overcome evil with good. Things like love, prayers, and kindness instead of retaliation and exposure."

Happy One Month To Me & A Mess With NY Post

To quote London Tipton from Suite Life Of Zach & Cody (its my daughters favorite show) "YAY ME!" My one month anniversary blogging about Jon & Kate. I wrote almost every single day. I wonder where I get all the material? (lol) The bloggers are furiously writing in support and against the show, hence there has always been lots to talk about. Like for one, why is everyone that likes the show or supports Kate actually Kate? Or Jon, or their PR Firm?

NY Post "Pop Wrap" Shows What Happens With NO Moderator

A few days ago a whole hot buttered mess went on when The New York Posts "POPWRAP" section wrote a cute sweet blog about enjoying the episode they called "Pudding-palooza". I think I linked at least one of their re-caps on my blog. Well the comments section got pretty hairy when a person called "momsagainstgwop" went on a warpath showing people a few lies GWOP was posting. This is a small except from the hundreds of posts:

For months those geniuses at GosselinsWithoutPity at blogspot have claimed that Jon just stopped coming to his job and was a lazy, no good quitter. Cause, ya know, they are ALL about TRUTH. They deal in FACTS. Are you ready for the punch line?It seems that they were WRONG! Read an excerpt from GWoP:

iluveeyore said...

IIRC Jon himself, in an interview, was discussing how he was fired while Kate was pregnant with the tups. He said it was doubly awful because a man wants to be able to support his family. He might have made that statement on tv, but I cannot recall on which show.

BTW, there seems to be new information appearing that brings Jon's "firing" into question. It seems that his former employer said that he never fired Jon, he just stopped coming to work. He was not pleased with being shown as the bad guy. 8/21/2008 6:45 PM

ThreeFarmers said... 8/21/2008 10:13PM

I don't think any former employer ever made that comment. I found one person posting as Lynn Smith on some blog who said it, but cited no source, but only said "a local paper".

I searched a few local papers, but the closest I could find was in the Central Pennsylvania Patriot News on July 9, 2004, and it was Jon making them print a correction saying he wasn't fired but was let go for budgetary reasons.

People putting information out there need to be to be sure of the information and not post speculation as fact. When the info is wrong it gives the Gosselins an excuse to tell their fans to question the credibility of everything that's out there.

GWoP has been passing around these lies about Jon for months. The quote above is just them talking about it recently. That's part of their shtick. Jon never wants to work, blah, blah, blah... It is better to spin a tale of a shiftless father of eight, than to tell the real truth.

I believe the Iluveeyore mentioned above is a poster here on this site. Way to spread the gossip, eeyore! What other lies will they be telling next? You people make me sick!

Posted by: MomsAgainstGWoP on August 22, 2008 06:53 AM

More posts about people spying on other people on other blogs and whatnot. All very back and forth. Most creepy and just plain sad. I leave on an happy note posting my favorite Gosselin Webisodes #30. With Jon & Kate in love.....hehe

Todays Thoughts, Jon & Kate Speaking Engagements & GWOP Has No Life!

Today's thoughts are about those that feel Kate loves her daughters more than her sons. These people must not have children. We have a week here until school starts and having my kids home has been crazy. I told my daughter I couldn't take her to a play date because the baby was sick & sleeping. She pitched a fit, screaming "You love that baby more than me! I wish it was never born!" I immediately brought me back to like, last week. I was fighting with my mom that my brother is still living at home and needs to get his own place. I used to say to her when I was younger that she loved him more because he was the baby.

Just because Kate makes some stupid comment that we all do at some point that boys are "icky" does that mean that she doesn't love her sons? Its so stupid to even respond. But our lovely hate site will have like a hundred ridiculous comments and posts on poor dissed Joel or non-loved Collin. We all have a point that one of our children might drive us to the point where they are on the sh@t list, but anyone that implies our hearts have not been make to love all of our children is as nasty and hurtful as the people on that site. And well when my girlfriend called back saying she would pick my daughter up, she came and apologized. "Sorry mommy, I know you told me you split your heart into pieces so we all get one." I know you love us all." So here I post perhaps another unseen Jon & Kate clip called "Meerkat Abduction." Alexis really likes to piss her brothers off! But Kate does love them ALL.

Jon & Kate Speaking Engagements & GWOP Has No Life!

Holy smoke people! Am I the only one shocked to see that there are those on that blog that exhaust themselves spending hours compiling info to take nothing and make it something about the Gosselins?? Some chick named BehemianMoon compiled a detailed list of the cancellations of some of Jon & Kate's speaking engagements and the new ones that were put in there place. They're are currently the exact same amount, roughly 10 around the same areas but more convenient times and dates for the family.

Now all the hoopla apprears to be rumored rises in speaking fees. I for one am glad that they have canceled a lot of their speaking engagements and that they are charging more for their time and story. They were charging a mere $3,000 + all expenses paid for a speaking engagement back in February and personally I didn't think that was worth being a way from you children for 24-48 hours, traveling, speaking, question and answers, arranging childcare etc.

Also, is there any proof that they now make $25,000 for a speaking engagement? By what one person says on GWOP is the the truth?? I find this to be really high. They do give a great talk and are very friendly, witty and inspirational...but I can't imagine they would pull in $25,000! Below, is the current list of when they are speaking in case you would like to go. Oviously I didnt put the canceld ones in, though you know you could see those at that slader site elsewhere.

Warning! GWOP Has Now Hired Dr. Evil!

Imagine Serena & Co. from "Gosselin's Without Pity" sitting next to Dr. Evil in his underground lair:



Serena: How could you do this to me? They are now more famous then ever! They are even getting interviewed for Good Housekeeping! Why didn't you destroy Kate Gosselin or at least make sure the show gets canceled?
Dr. Evil: Because you're not quite evil enough.
[audience boos]
Dr. Evil: Well it's true! You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.

Ok, so I totally ripped that off from the second Austin Powers Movie. But lately people have gotten so out of control I needed to make a point through humor. Jodi's video appears to have done more bad then good. Of course there are those that say it only showed Julie was telling the truth about who she was. But I feel it backfired in that people couldn't believe how Jodi brought her mess out to the public (On vacation no less! Tell me why on vacation you feel this was urgent) and now were questioning her motives. (I feel that her sister pushed her into it) So I picture everyone trying to figure out what to do now......

Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have to destroy Jon & Kate?
Serena: Sea Bass.
Dr. Evil: [pause] Right.
Serena: They're mutated sea bass.
Dr. Evil: Are they ill tempered?
Serena: Absolutely.
Dr. Evil: Oh well, that's a start.

Someone on GWOP wrote to Good House Keeping telling them their disgust that Kate was being bestowed a "Mother of The Month" in the article. Everyone is being told there to KEEP WRITING HOW MUCH YOU HATE HER! That is how sneaky that site is. First they want you to write to Congress, then TLC, then to your next door neighbor. Anybody that could listen because you know girlfriend is sitting there next to Dr. Evil saying something corny like "The Army is not STRONG enough!"

So I too, think it would be a good idea to write. The email address is: gheditor@goodhousekeeping.com or click HERE. Tell them how much you enjoy their magazine and how you hope the Gosselins will be in there again soon. Because little do they know that the more you make a fuss about someone, the more a magazine wants them!

Dr. Evil: Serena, if I ever lost you and your blog I don't know what I would do.
[pauses]
Dr. Evil: I'd probably move on, get another clone but there would be a 15 minute period there where I would just be inconsolable.

Dr. Evil!! I'm here to help.................(lol)

Another Jon & Kate Article, Gosselin's: Little Wonders

I get sent many of these videos. I particularly like how the music was set to this one:

Also please check out this new article about the Gosselins from The Record.com. Its called appropriately: "Ratings As High As A Diaper Pile". Well Said. Please excuse the short post tonight. The baby is teething and waking up in the middle of the night again. So I have to go to bed! But enjoy this cute comment courtesy of my sister-site GosselinsdonotneedourPity:

"The anatomy of a rumor ala GwoP. If we repeat the same rumor over and over and over and over again it is now fact and we can say that it has been "reported." Similarly, if we hold on to an opinion passionately and fervently enough, that opinion now rises to the level of FACT."

The Sport of Jon & Kate Gosselin

Am I a bad person?

It’s the sport of the Gosselin’s . When it comes to this family, Monday nights is the attack of Jon & Kate. I was waiting to see how many people would lash out on Kate tonight on blogs like GWOP. Because they didn’t have much to say last week. Well after only less than a half hour, 70 posts were already up. There are people that literally ran to the computer during the commercial. KC wrote: "Ohh What kind of an IDIOT has 4 year old's hair corn rowed?" Jen Jen says: "Seriously Jon, how dare you bleed like a human?" Ravello says: "This woman will burn in hell for her treatment of the boys, especially Joel." OMG Did someone actually say that??

I am still a Kate Gosselin fan. I take attacks on her personally because there are so many of us out there like her. Most are not on a blogging warpath. Does that make me a bad person? If I was filmed, there might be times when it might look like I alienated a child, times I yelled, times I bribed in order to get a good photo. My son is always more dirty, but I don’t love him any less than my daughter. Times that I forced the kids to do something that I ADMITTED in hindsight might not have been good idea. But if I was on TV, for the world to comment on my parenting skills, would I deserve comments like these? I have my own love taps, I'm anal, I sometimes correct grammar and I freak out. My husband DOES get mad at me sometimes. I am working on this. But I’m not a bad person and neither is Kate. She is who she is, doing what she feels is best for her family. TLC seems to be content with keeping the world talking. Clever editing perhaps? Maybe not. My first 4th of July away from my family was just as rocky. But thank goodness the world wasn’t watching.

GWOP "Love Offerings" Again..And Interesting Book Tidbits

Getting out tonight for "date night" has been weeks in the making. I honestly forgot how long its been since Ive gone to the movies. To get my parents here who live far to take care of the kids always becomes a chaotic thing. Blah blah "why is the house a mess" (it wasn't) "why isn't there healthier food for the kids here" (they're wasn't) "why didn't you bathe them before I came" (I couldn't). I get a serious headache when they come, my mom I mean. (My dad just watches Sci Fi.) Does anyone else sacrifice sanity in order to go out once in a while? (FYI My husband made me go see "Tropic Thunder" and it was so funny I almost died. Must see, who knew?)

So it makes me sad to think that people like Jon & Kate must have quite a difficult time getting out by themselves with all those kids. I can totally understand them taking advantage of alone time when they can. Ugh it makes my stomach hurt thinking of what else those sickos from GWOP were going to come up with today after getting the "Golden Egg" to speak on their behalf (sort-of, see last nights post). Sadly, it was more blah blah about the whole Speaking Engagement thing. Please people, they are hot now, they are rolling with it. Speaking fees are quite common and much more ethical than "love offerings" in these circumstances. Their upcoming book that is currently #11 on Amazon.com pre-order list is also a better way to benefit from their situation than more TV episodes. Check Out This Quote. FYI, this must have slipped though the "hate cracks":

"In regards to the "love offerings". Typically when a church has a speaker come in there is a "love offering" so this is not something that the Gosselins came up with. Different churches might call this offering something different but the purpose is often for the same reasons....to help the church cover the cost of the event. I attended a speaking engagement of J&K's back in February. A "love offering" was taken and we were told that it would pay for whatever cost the church had associated with bringing Jon and Kate to speak. Any money that was left over would be given to the Gosselins. Jon and Kate do not give a tale of having financial problems. They do talk of the initial difficulties they had, including financial ones, and how they have been extremely blessed and how grateful they are. Their message is not misleading at all."

OMG that Serna didnt pull that one. Funny how even with all the hoopla in Cyber World over "Jodigate" (I said it first!!) J&K +8 is TLC's #1 show and has 2.5 million viewers per episode. And the advertiser's wait list to be in the first 15 minutes airtime is about 100 deep so someone says. So nope, this family isn't going nowhere anytime soon. Also interesting was this tidbit from a woman who buys books for stores that also posted some hopefully correct publicity for the Multiple Blessings book:
Good Morning America
Fox & Friends
Kate will be "Mom of the Month" for October on a popular parenting website
Good Housekeeping mag - book excerpt in Nov issue

Also I was sent what appears to be someones view of reading the book who was able to get an advance:

"I am reading the advance now, and boy it definitely is all in Kate's voice. Mainly about life pre-tups with Cara and Maddy, the birth and delivery of the tups, and life when the tups were newborn and home. Kate shows her true drill-sergeant self in this book, repeatedly. Wow. Ordering the hospital around on her bed rest there, super-anal about the schedule when she got home with the babies.

She does paint a good picture of how stressful it really was for them especially when they were all home. I can completely empathize with her and Jon's position then - especially as this is them BEFORE all the TV show madness. As anal as she comes across, they are grateful for all the help and support they got. It doesn't seem it on the show now, but at the time, they absolutely needed it. She mentions a lot of her helpers by name and thanks them all."

So for those who have asked me to talk about the people in Kate's life, you might want to read the book to get a better picture of who they are since they are mentioned, along with Kate's "Best Friend" Beth. Pre-order is HERE at Amazon.com

Why Jodi Why? Do we now truly loose respect for you??

Ok, so maybe anyone who may or may not be a fan of the show heard that Jodi made a video for her sister to post on a hate site. I just cant believe she would do this, on her vacation no less? Normally I would NEVER attached a hate site to my blog, but you can see the video HERE. Why would she allow her sister to post on a hate blog, unless its some sort of revenge? I totally lost all respect for Jodi now. It just truly shows how getting money in in your life can ruin your family. These are a few quotes that people wrote in response to the video that I feel strongly about. These comments were taken from another Jon & Kate Blog site I really like called GosselinsDoNotNeedOurPity.com. Its neutral middle ground to my pro Kate site here and that nay Kate site over there (lol):

"I think it is completely tasteless to handle the situation that way! Of course she is getting encouraging emails...GWoP is buttering her up to get more information, they don't really care about her. They care about hurting Jon and Kate. Jodi making that video proves to me why she is no longer in their lives. Any family member that would blast another family member like for the world to see has no class!I wouldn't want Jodi in my life either."

"Well, now I've lost a lot of respect for Jodi. It's sad to know that she's supportive of the public airing of dirty laundry and nastiness. Maybe I'm just a "tougher" person, but I just don't get the tears and pain. It's taken a month of time for "healing" from this situation? I don't know. Too much melodrama and it seems to come from all sides. I'm sure Jon and Kate are no saints, but the way Jodi and Julie have handled this isn't something I can respect at all."

"I think its telling that she said that Julies blog is true but she didn't once address GWOP and Julies participation there. Why didn't she address the stalking, name calling of the kids, etc...that occurs at GWOP? Is she unaware of all that her sister is up to, if so why not a thumbs up for that? Jodi proved again that the kids mean nothing to her, thats all I got from the video."

These people feel the same way I do. That hate site is truly kissing these womens behinds to get them over the "dark side" as one person said in order to have them spill their guts out. They could basically say anything at this point and because Jodi is saying it then it has to be 100% true right? Jodi looks so uncomfortable, it seems like she has a gun pointed at her head by Serena. Did she go on the trip too? Just when you think you've heard it all, another bombshell happens. And you wonder why Kate felt betrayed?? Wouldn't you? Man its definetly disturbing that your own family would sell you down the river if they don't get a piece of the almighty dollar. I basically told my brother to never do that to me! (lol) Someone in my comments section wondered whether or not Jon & Kate will or should address Jodi's video in Septembers speaking events since you know there will be one spiteful person out there looking to cause some hurt by addressing it. That is a good question. You would have to be SUPER careful addressing something like this. But to me saying nothing would be worse. What do you think?

Todays Rant, EW J&K Review & Happiness For A Future Gosselin Home

I know I said I would change my rants to thought because of the tone, but after spending almost $200 on school supplies (I'm not even done yet) I thought I would let off some steam. For those without kids the end of Summer may mean no more casual Friday or getting out early for the weekend trip. For us mommies it means getting a ridiculously high endless list of back to school supplies. If you have more than one child you can see how this adds up. The problem is, its no longer the basic things your child will need. Its paper towels, wipes? and toilet paper. Its 4-5 marble notebooks that you know your kids will use like, 3 tops. Why are we paying taxes for this yet now we have to supply the teacher with everything? isn't that the schools job? Why are we buying so many sets of markers and crayons when our kids only maybe need one? I think its probably for those kids who might not have the funds to bring their own. Which that to me is ok. Whats not is each of the three lists I have include random things like dry erase pens for the teachers board. Why am I paying for HER stuff? Sorry, but this year I spent the most I ever did....Did you?

So now I pose another question. Lets say a friend of yours put their lives on TV, hit it big, and want to buy a new house. Would you be happy for them? Lets say your friends were Jon & Kate. Why did this family alone cause so much controversy to the blogging community that both Television Without Pity and Fans of Reality TV had to close the blogs due to the attacks on fans by Kate haters? Why do the people over on GWOP have such an issue with the Gosselins buying a bigger house? Because to them, they are no longer struggling therefore in their minds no longer relate able? I have to quote someone else from another blog I was reading:

"No, not "anybody" who doesn't like the Gosselins gets accused of jealousy. But if you complain at length about "freebies", carp about how you preferred when Kate was clipping coupons and how you can no longer relate to the family, bitch about the trips that they take and the house they may or may not be building and say things like, "I can't afford to take my kids to x place" - guess what? You are jealous! You're pretty much a textbook example of the word."

I truly cant get over the level of hatred and jealousy displayed by some of the people over there. Even if they aren't, why do they simply feel the need to attack a family so bad and try so hard to get any private info they have on the family which is none of their business to begin with? Why do they sound alot more like stalkers then normal people? The article HERE is from the Merchantville Local news about the house Jon & Kate visited in the previous episode. Regardless if they were going to buy the house or not, why begrudge them that they want a big house with land and space? Makes sense to me, and personally, Im happy for them. I surely don't think they would travel hours with their kids in the car unless they truly were interested. But the publicity these Realtors got for themselves in that outdated (lol) house made they view worth it 10 fold. I just hope and pray that if they do move they can find someplace as private as possible, away from the lookey-loos who think they seem to know whats best for someone else's kids.

Ohh and before I go, heres the cute Entertainment Weekly Jon & Kate Plus 8 TV Review.
