Why Did Jon Gosselin Ever Leave Kate?

Sure she’s shrill, domineering, and the sound of her voice makes a million chalkboards cover their ears. But Kate Gosselin knows how to eat a Statue of Liberty lollipop. We’re just saying. You know if she can take care of that pop she can handle Jon. Okay we’re done. Yesterday Kate brought out her original Target Boob shirt and padded around barefoot at Liberty and Ellis Islands yesterday. As New Yorkers we were horrified (crack pipes! heroin needles! crunchy roaches!), but Kate hasn’t reported any hepatitis yet, so we’re pulling for her. Perhaps next time she could leave the stilettos at home when sightseeing, that way she can actually keep her shoes on. Just a thought.

Kate and some nannies schlepped some very cranky kids around the islands, and we’ll admit this is one of the only times we’ve ever felt sorry for her. Waiting three hours for the Statue of Liberty on a cool day will turn anyone evil. Ee refuse to go. We can’t imagine eight kids on a 90 degree day. Though Kate didn’t exactly seem affected by it.

    There are no specific temperature-range limitations or limitations on the number of hours which can be worked by a child performer (from birth to age 18) nor are there any prohibited hours of work for child performers. Those limitations were not written into the Child Performer Education and Trust Act of 2003. Statutory authority has been created to enable the Commissioner of Labor to promulgate such regulations for child performers; but the promulgation of those regulations has not been completed.

    Please note, however, that the Commissioner of Labor has general legal authority to act to protect the physical safety, educational and moral development of child performers. Employers must make certain that child performers are not exposed to danger, exhaustion, or morally questionable situations.

    There is a panel studying how to prevent eating disorders in Child Models and Child Performers. It is possible that the promulgation of regulations will be coordinated with the implementation of the recommendations from that study. Until then the situation is as described above.

    It is worth noting that in this particular case, the mother of the child performers was not only present but working with the child performers. Since she was actually present with the children she had first-hand knowledge of the conditions (heat) and was arguably better able to monitor the condition of her children than is possible from the snap-shots one can see online.

    Subject: Restrictions on child labor in hot temperatures.

    To Whom it may concern, I would like some more information on the restrictions of child performer laws in high temperatures. I had noticed that New York had aexcessive heat warnings on 7-6-10, 7-7-10 and 7-8-10.
    I had photographic evidences that the Gosselin children employed by the TLC network and Discovery were in the heat for a very long period of time, exposed to long distance walking and sun exposure without hats and sun protection.
    I thought you should be aware those conditions are not safe for children and the matter should be looked into.
    Thank you

    ~~ this was sent to me by the labor department… saying since Kate is present, she can do just about anything she wants to those kids , they have no say.~~~ just my 2 cents for today.

    Try to pretend to look happy kids – mama needs another new pair of inappropriate shoes! Seriously, Ellis Island offers nothing for kids that age and the State of Liberty is even questionable. It’s great for older kids and adults, but it would be boring to little kids and the wait for the ferry is LONG. You wait to get on the main ferry (often for hours), then you wait at the Statue to catch the one to Ellis Island, and then you wait again to catch it back to where you started. But they probably didn’t wait. Kate doesn’t wait in line. She’s special.

  • paige

    wow loser she took her kids on a trip you freak dont waste your time, TEAMKATE!

  • Sheeple

    Baaa baaa, paige. She didn’t take her kids on a trip; she is being paid to parade them around in the heat while they have cameras shoved in their faces. She doesn’t do anything with those kids unless it benefits her. ka-ching.

  • http://thelyingchannel.blogspot.com jj

    Again, you people fail to realize that TLC is paying for all this and Kate would NEVER take the kids to NY or to see the Statue of Liberty w/o TLC and a camera crew there to record it.

    The kids were suppose to go a year ago. Why didn’t Kate them? Why wait until the TLC camera return?

    Yes she is EXPLOITING her kids. Ever see a book called “Eight Little Faces?”. LOL. Kate has a photo album of the kids on sale.

    Kate is NOT the best mom in the world. She isn’t a MOM. She has 4 nannies and a full-time chef. Kate is never home and the kids don’t like her.

    This is the truth. Ever see the kids run to Kate and hug her with a big smile? NO! But they always seem to do it with Jon.

    I am not “jealous”. Can’t you devil worshipers come up with a new word for once?

    Truth does not equal Hate. A good mom doesn’t spend 90k on her looks and then cry about having no money to pay bills.

    A good mom doesn’t drag her kids to places just for the cameras when all they want to do is swim in a hot summer day.

    A good mom doesn’t smack her kids in the face in the parking lot or smack her kids in the rear just because they blew a whistle outside.

    Kate is not a good person. The Kate you people WORSHIP does not exist. Theres a reason why she has no friends, no parents, and no family contact or support.

    Everyone around her are paid employees.

  • jack

    A good Mom Wants her kids to have life experiences

    she dosnt have 4 nannies she chef where the hell do u get ur info u probly make it up your seff dude shes is a mom man your still disrespecting a woman who has gone out of her way to give the best life that she can to those kids shes providing for them and lots of moms look hot so dont hate just because mabey your mother wasnt the prettiest duck in the pond man lay off u can dislike someone but hate is a strong word for someone youve never met and have no reason at all to make a “Hate” site about her seriouslt go get a new hobby man

  • Jaden

    dude your out numberd lay off man you go have 6 kids at once and then you can have an oppinion man i dont know how chicks do it!

  • Holly

  • Zack

  • TeamEight

    Okay.FIRST of All, I dont support jon OR Kate. i support team 8.I Support THE KIDS. Okay? SECOND.

    Yes i DO Undersatnd that some people might not agree, thats EVERYONES Opion. But, Im Obsessed with Kate or Jon.

    Liek i said Before. i support TEAM 8!

  • TeamEight

    *Im NOT Obssed with Kate Or Jon

  • HateKateLovethe8

    Wow, anyone who supports her is as dumb as she is. She only takes them on trips where the TLC pays for or does things where the paps like these can see them as a photo op.
    Why do you think she dresses them in matching outfits to just to go to the grocery store with them. She spends the episodes going to extreme lengths to avoid Infdaly and other pap sites to put on the farce that she hates them but she’s the one who alerts them. Otherwise how would they know where they go all the time? How would they know the exact hotel or what they are doing each day? Do you honestly think they follow her 24/7? If she didn’t they wouldn’t care. So she dresses her in ridiculous outfits that aren’t appropriate for the occasion so men will drool over her and parades the 6 in matching outfits around. Those poor kids are miserable, sure their are some smiles but that’s because of the suckers and toys in their hands. If Kate would only stop being so focused on being famous and get a real job these kids could be happy.

  • Paige

    well obviously more people agree with me than you so shut up and the reason those kids are so amazingly cute and respectfull is because they have a good mom and are being brought up right

  • TeamEight

    ^ I Think Kate Is An EXCELANT Mom. Ehh Not So Much Jon. The Kids Love The Show, As Kate Once Stated. But It She also Trying to Live with the eight.The show is her main source of income.

  • Amy

    Kate sucks

  • dillon

    Kate needs the show to provide for the eight she is in severe debt and still has to send them to college and dosnt have enough to get all eight of them there yet she has to do this there really is no other option she still has to pay for food and such TEAMKATE^^^
