Jon Plus 8, Minus Kate?
Happy summer SharpMoms! What a great start to the summer I have been having. I tuned in last night to Jon and Kate Plus 8, along with several other SharpMomsI am sure. I am not sure how I feel about their separation. I am sad for both Jon and Kate, but mostly their eight children. This season has been quite disappointing already with all the buzz of a divorce, affairs, etc. For some reason with all that “bad news” looming over the family, I didn’t find the episodes as funny, the kids as cute or Jon and Kate as likeable as in seasons past. I was equally disappointed to hear Jon say in last night’s episode that he was sad, but excited to start the next chapter in his life. In my book he seemed a little too emotionally ready for the split and very much detached from the family. Kate on the other hand let her guard down and showed a more vulnerable side (in contrast to her usual crass self!). What are other SharpMoms thinking? This family is all the buzz on morning shows, gossip magazine, and even Facebook. Leave a comment and let SharpMoms know your thoughts!

I don’t know why, but I almost feel betrayed! They have been on TV for so long, I guess I feel like I know them. I know Kate is a raging control freak and Jon has been passive for so long, but I still hoped they would work it out. After this week’s episode it just seems beyone repair. They are not communicating!

I agree with you. I felt the same way about Jon & the same way about Kate. I hate to see them splitting but it does sound like they are trying to make it as easy on the kids as they can by taking turns being at the house with them. I just feel so badly for Kate mostly. She seems to be taking all the blame here, herself & from others.
