Recently I've been reading a lot of the blogs concerning the Gosselin's (Jon and Kate Plus 8). I found the blogs due to another Blog that I've been reading that has absolutely nothing to do with them. I have noticed that the majority of them will only allow opinions that agree 100% with the Blog owner's denigrating opinions about the family. Actually, mostly about Kon(Kate and Jon). I posted, or tried, to post my opinion on the downside of the family speaking out on Gwop but it was not published. I think mainly because my argument wasn't arguable. That is, although I agreed with most of the "gripes" people had about Kon, I disagreed with the family coming out with all the information that criticizes their family member. I have noticed some disagreement by some bloggers, but they are promptly jumped on and all but accused of being stupid.
The following is what I tried to post:
Although I don't disagree with "the truth will set you free" on what was said, I have to question the wisdom in saying it. I have to wonder if it was wise in coming out with all the information about Kon's manipulation, greed and poor behavior and was in the best interest of the children? Perhaps if Jodi was more patient, this could have all blown over. Jodi obviously loves the Gosselin children and has been a great asset in raising them but now what are her chances in ever being involved in their lives again? The children suffer here. Kon’s control issues are not to be trifled with, either justified or not, and now the children will have no other perspective but their mom’s. Jodi had more to offer them on the inside then she does now since being cut out. What did Jodi have to defend herself about? Any thoughtful person would have seen the absurdity in Kate’s reaction to the chewing gum! I did and was embarrassed for her. I knew at the moment of the airing that trouble was in the brewing and that Kate was just making herself look bad.Did we need to know about the contract issue? Yes, it was a hurtful thing but loving and caring and being a part of the children’s lives should have come first. Jodi, what has been gained from airing all of this to the public? Now, you post a video, choking back emotions that I know are real, but every time you open your mouth, either you yourself, or via your sister’s blog you are nailing another nail into the coffin of a possible relationship with the kids…..and that is what all of this is about. Those kids need you and the stability you have/had to offer! It makes me sad to think of the stories they are going to get from their parents about why you are no longer in their lives. They are going to grow up thinking you don’t love or care for them anymore. I can picture Collin blaming himself for getting gum on his bear.
Secondly, have you given any consideration to what the children are going to hear from other kids? They don’t need to hear all of this coming from their peers but it’s out there and they are going to hear negative stuff all the way around. I wonder about the day Maddy came home from the first day of school and stormed off to her room? What was that about? Did she hear negative stuff at school about what her parent’s say about her on the show? Is she hearing negative stuff about her parents that are repeated from what they hear from their parents? And then there’s Cara, who keeps everything bottled up until she actually explodes in a litany of issues that have nothing to do with what is really bothering her. It’s bad enough that all this is coming out, and that people are saying what they are saying but you are family and family is supposed to stick together. These kids are in trouble and losing you in their lives has to be devastating. I hope it is not too late for bridge mending here. I hope that there is a way for reconciliation. And if so, I suggest you go along with how Kon wants things and just suck it up for the sake of the children.
