gosselin 13 290x300 Kate Gosselin MIA in Alaska; Kids Go Sightseeing With StaffKate Gosselin haters are going to love this one. Apparently over the last two days the Gosselin kids have been sight seeing with a bodyguard and TLC crew member, with no sightings of Kate and main bodyguard Steve Neild. The kids meanwhile look fairly miserable. While getting off the bus at the hotel, one of the kids was overheard asking, “Where’s mommy and when is she coming back?”  Any guesses as to where she might be? A marathon tanning session perhaps? I recently defended Kate for having some perhaps well-deserved “me-time.” That doesn’t extend to going AWOL in Alaska.

People follow this woman’s every move. The scrutiny that she gets no matter what she does is just amazing. She’s with the kids, and people judge her. She’s not with the kids and people judge her. She holds their hand, people judge her. She doesn’t hold their hand, people judge her. When did Kate become the punching bag for every hateful bitter person out there? They went sightseeing for a couple of hours without their Mom? OMG, what an outrage! One of the kids asked where Mommy was? OMG. And if they weren’t “overheard” asking about Mommy, would the comments have been – they were out without their Mommy and they didn’t even ASK where she was or when she was coming back!? It’s always something, it’s always hateful and judgmental!

She CHOOSES to put herself out there for criticism. Sadly, those 8 little faces have no choice but to be paraded around and pay for their fame-whore Mom’s tanning, ta-tas and tacky clothes.
They would probably rather be at home around their pool and their dad; not being drug around the country for Kate’s glory ride.

Denny commented on Jul 24 10 at 9:21 am

Perhaps Kate is doing something special with the twins. As for the children not smiling, maybe the paparazzi should back off of little children. Just because a person lives a public life does not excuse the OTT criticism. I agree with Denny above, no matter what Kate does it is twisted to prove what an awful mother she is.

Denny #2, Kate doesn’t DO anything that requires criticism. She’s just a mother doing what millions of other mothers do everyday. She’s criticized because she’s Kate and so many people envy her life, resent her, and therefore need to criticize anything she does. It’s sad. Not for Kate, for the people who take time and dwell on her life and how “wrong” she is no matter what she does. It’s ONLY a big deal that the kids are going sightseeing without her because it’s KATE. If it was any other mother, nobody would bat an eye. You really think that the kids would rather be hanging out by the pool than going on a trip? Maybe…maybe they would rather be lazy and do nothing, see nothing, learn nothing. It’s up to their parents to expand their horizons. Their dad can teach them how to expand their waste lines, their Mom is giving them opportunities that will enrich their lives. A lot of kids out there just want to sit in front of the tv or by the pool – it’s a parent’s duty to give them more, even if they whine about it as it’s happening (it’s hot, I’m bored, I’m tired, I don’t want to – that’s every child’s mantra – for some reason when it’s Kate’s kids looking bored or tired, it means she’s mean to them. Any other kids saying it, looking that way – anybody would say it’s typical child behavior), they are lucky to have the experience, and they will learn something and appreciate it at a later date, if they’re not appreciating it as it’s happening. But, they probably have great fun on these trips, whether you can see it in a bunch of pictures taken by a pap during a ten minute period, or not. Those kids love to learn. Kate’s giving them great childhood experiences. Good for her. Good for the kids.

two dennys? that's confusing commented on Jul 24 10 at 11:15 am

HeeHee – “waste lines!” I just noticed that after clicking “send” but it’s fitting, really. Jon teaches them how to “waste” a life, waste time, waste opportunity and do nothing. He teaches them by example from his own life. He’d be a great example of how to waste your time sending a hundred tweets in under 24 hours instead of doing anything constructive with time.

I am no fan of Kate’s but those who criticize her every move sound mean and ugly and sometimes just plain stupid. I think reading their own blog on a daily basis has got them so lathered up they’ve lost it.

My take commented on Jul 24 10 at 1:00 pm

Jon may not work but she is paid 22k per month in child support. Not enough to support her 8 children? But Kate doesn’t work either the KIDS are the ones working. Kids should not be supporting their parents. All she does is bitch and whine about how hard her life is. It must be very tough when you have nannies,chef and have everyone else doing everything for you. Those poor children look miserable and she does to when she is with them.

Lola commented on Jul 24 10 at 1:55 pm

Kate does what every mother does? Oh, really? Wake up and smell the coffee.

CarolynJ commented on Jul 24 10 at 5:11 pm

She’s a famewhore-pure & simple. Being supported by her 8 children. Child services where the hell are you?

LolaW commented on Jul 24 10 at 7:34 pm

Pathetic. Where the F is “Mother of the year”. These kids looks miserable. All they want to do is go home and swim.

They are never happy when Kate has custody. Period. NEVER..

wow commented on Jul 24 10 at 7:57 pm

Just a little question for you, wow! How is it that you KNOW that they are NEVER happy when Kate has custody? Period. NEVER. !! Can you read their minds by looking at the pictures on your computer screen? WOW indeed. That’s quite a gift you’ve got there! It’s the gift of making yourself sound like a foolish old crone. Congrats.

Hey wow! commented on Jul 24 10 at 8:13 pm

Kimora, The Kardashians, The Duggars, The Roloffs, Tori Spelling, Wife Swap, ALL the Housewife Shows, The Crews – that’s just a few of the many reality shows that feature KIDS on their reality show, yet it’s KATE and KATE alone who gets accused of being a “famewhore” who is being supported by her children. Do you even realize how pathetic and obviously jealous you sound of Kate? It’s not about the kids. If it were about the kids, then why aren’t you wondering where CHILD SERVICES are for ANY of those other shows? Hi, hypocrites!! How. U. DOIN?

How you doin? commented on Jul 24 10 at 8:18 pm

Props to all the thousands of single parents out there who do so with a lot less help than Kate has, especially since John is very much in his kids lives. I dont think anyone should beat up on Kate, I can’t imagine being financially responsible for 8 kids, but I think it is important to note that an ongoing lack of contact with a parent, or a revolving door of caregivers, can cause attachment issues later in life. Hopefully that will not happen to these beautiful kids, but only time will tell.

If it had not been for Jon,Aunt Jodie and Kevin and let’s not forget those ugly cows from that terrible GWOP site a lot of this mess would have never been started. Jon, Aunt Jodie, Uncle Kevin and jealousy fuel this constant fire. TLC Had no use for them so it was Kate’s fault and they have tried to make sure she pays for it by trying to control and ruin her reputation and career. it is sad that a woman with 8 kids who hasn’t done anything to anybody been the target for this kind of hate. “LEAVE KATE ALONE!” If you don’t like anything about her just move on. No amount of ugliness has stopped her she is strong and a survivor. I truly respect her for holding her head up and marching on. I wish I had her strength.

Barbara commented on Jul 25 10 at 11:54 am

Barbara – Do you personally KNOW anyone on the GWOP site? How do you know they are “cows”? I’ve visited that site & they seem to be people who are concerned about the childrens’ welfare. Having watched the show, Jodie seemed to be the only one who let them be kids.

ells commented on Jul 25 10 at 12:15 pm

The mother gone for two days and the children ask where is she and when will she be back? That has got to be a little frightening to a 6 year old. For her to go off (IF all this true) without telling them something, anything? Wow. Just think about that for a minute.

Lobo commented on Jul 25 10 at 2:02 pm

Where do you come up with Kate being GONE for two days just because she wasn’t seen out with the kids for TWO days? Allegedly. You are WILDLY speculating. Speculating about her “going off.” Speculating about her not telling them something, anything, if she did ” go off.” That “IF all this true” comment doesn’t really cut it as a disclaimer. Just think about THAT for a minute.

Lara commented on Jul 25 10 at 2:32 pm

Barbara where is the info that TLC had no ouse for Jdi and Kevin? They were the ones who told Kevin and Jodie that they were going to pay them and Kate said no. Are you the old cronie McBird 31? Sound like it.(and I mean the term “it”

Sara commented on Jul 25 10 at 6:46 pm

Good Lord, you Kate supporters are VERY naive. I invite you all to come to Reading, PA and watch Kate firsthand and in person. Guarantee you will find that your support for Kate isn’t as strong as you thought it was.

stef commented on Jul 26 10 at 12:05 am

Get a grip, Lara…do you know what ALLEGEDLY means? Of course there could be a simple explanation and we don’t know what it is, hence the word ALLEGEDLY!

stef commented on Jul 26 10 at 12:06 am

LOL, yeah, Stef, I know what the word “ALLEGEDLY” means! I’m the one who USED the word, NO ONE else did. The haters just latched on to the story as if it’s the truth, and speculate the worst, over and over, instead of demanding PROOF that any of this happened. And THAT’S a FACT. Why let a lack of any solid proof stop the haters from perpetuating the “rumor” that Kate might have been gone for a couple of days? Why? How about because it MIGHT not be TRUE!?

Lara commented on Jul 26 10 at 7:23 pm

ANYONE who could honestly look at FAKE KATE and not hate her is loony. She is a talentless fame whore.

Kim commented on Jul 28 10 at 12:24 pm

Yeah….HATING is a sure sign of SANITY, isn’t it? NOT hating someone you don’t know, that’s just CRAZY!! It’s LOONY time! Oh, Kim….LOL Thanks for the laugh. Now go take your meds.

Angela commented on Aug 01 10 at 8:50 pm

I just watched Sarah’s Alaska last night………..wow! HOW RUDE!! Kate is the most ignorant person I’ve ever witnessed in my life. So ignorant! She bitched & moaned like a baby. Her kids acted more mature than she did. And when she disowned them by telling them they are not ‘Goslins’….wow! Did you see that child’s face drop? So mean and psycologically abusive. If she only stepped out from under the tarp the insects wouldn’t bother her. Todd was the smartest one of the bunch. He stayed away from that rude ignorant woman. She even thru the hot dog down when she found out it was moose dogs. I thought she was ‘miss organic’? Little Piper was such a big fan of her and the kids……..well she ruined that. Did you all see Pipers face when they got on the plane? At a girl Piper, I’m with you.
