Jon Gosselin Doesn’t Want His Kids on TV
Jon Gosselin Wants Kids To Have Normal Lives
Kate Gosselin may be busy filming her reality show, Kate Plus 8, with her sets of twins and sextuplets, but at least one person isn’t too happy about them being in the public eye. The kids’ father, Jon Gosselin, has been off the radar lately, but in a new interview with In Touch, he indicated that he really doesn’t want his kids to be on TV anymore.
Jon said, “My concerns for them are the same as any parent’s. I hope they grow up and learn normal things. I hope that I instill enough parental advice in them that they do make the right decisions. I feel it’s best that I do what my own parents have done and raise them as normal children.”
Normal children typically don’t have cameras following them around all day, and they definitely don’t have a second birthday party just so it can be filmed for television!
Jon also admits that even though he isn’t living with Kate and the kids anymore, he does talk to his children everyday. He said, “Even when I did see them every day, it was hard to be away from then for even a little while. But I know the best thing I can do is go to work, get my paycheck and build a normal life for them when they come off TV.”
After everything the Gosselin kids have been through, do you think that their lives will ever be normal? For their sake, I sure hope so.

suebonnet commented on May 11 11 at 9:20 pmHere we go again. Jon tweeted that he is no longer under TLC’s contract last week. That means no more money. And now, again, he is whining about his kids being on tv. He is just mad because he can’t go back to Kate. And also becasue he can’t get any more of that TLC money. Go away Jon Gosselin. No one wants you anymore.
Amy commented on May 12 11 at 1:48 amOh my gosh. Please both Kate and Jon go away! I shudder what Kate Gosselin will be like when she does not have a TLC contract? Save us all. Go away Jon and Kate and please give your children a life, not a tabloid circus. Kate, handle your business outside of the media, please.
renee commented on May 12 11 at 2:23 amHonestly, why should Kate and the kids get all of the TLC money? Jon should be entitled to more money because after all his last name is the “brand” name (Gosselin). Why doesn’t Kate Gosselin go back to her maiden name, Kreider? Yep, because Gosselin is the “brand.” I think Jon deserves more money from TLC and Kate. He needed a better attorney and got screwed I think. His house should be as nice as Kate’s so he can also have the kids over for extended periods of time.
greg commented on May 12 11 at 3:22 amJon is by far the better parent. She is a shrew who uses her kids as commodities.
Heather commented on May 12 11 at 3:23 amGood for Jon. He has really grown! He was always the better parent.

selenia commented on May 19 11 at 2:23 amI watched the show when Jon was on it. I stopped watching the show when it became all about Kate. Jon always did all the work. Kate tried to sit around and look like she was busy, but it was Jon who actually did all the work. Getting kids off to school…Jon. Kate…sleeping. Jon…dressing kids Kate…yelling at him. Jon…taking kids skiing in Utah Kate…faking headache til they leave and then she’s able to spend the day at spa. Jon…pulling crap out of babies butt…Kate…spending a ridiculous amount of time picking out beds so she doesn’t have to deal with the kids. Jon was there when they took the kids on their individual trips. Kate only went with the girls, the boys didn’t matter enough. These are just a few of the examples of the laziness and manipulations of Ms. Gosselin. I say give Jon and the kids a show, then I’ll watch. All Kate cares about is trying to become a movie star or something, only problem, she has no talent. The kids need to be taken away from her because all they are to her is a paycheck. Sad but true.
