I read he is looking at a one-bedroom. Can someone tell me why he is getting a one-bedroom when he has eight kids? And if he has been the primary caregiver for the last two years, why is he the one moving out and not Kate?

This is a pitiful situation, simply pitiful!! Look back at the first episodes, how adorable they were and so much promise. This situation is a direct result of ratings and free market business versus quality of life and well being in a family, adults and children. How sad for the children who at some time in the future will look back a realize how their lives, more importantly their emotional well being was exploited for ratings and material gain. This could have been a teaching opportunity for the family as well as the public. How to problem solve and work together for the family. I am so sad that the "image" they portrayed and the reality of who they are is so convoluted and opposed. This America, is a defining moment for those children and for us as viewers who put so much hope and promise into those children and family. This situation has given many of us an opportunity to re-live that painful place in our childhoods, allowing us to see the emotional scars and how our parents decisions influenced our lives. How sad yet healing for us to witness this breakdown.

I would move to NY too if my wife had a hairdoo like Kate.

They get it from people who watch the show and give them ratings.

I wonder if they didn't have fallen into the wealth they have recently because of TLC would their marraige have suffered? Would they have stuck together for the sake of their kids? I think so. The show actually ruined their family.

Well if they get divorced Kate will have to leave the house for visitation days because Jons 1 bedroom appartment in NY isn't big enough for 8 kids to visit.....Does he even have a job? I heard the show is footing the bill for his appartment....What a looser.....This show should go off the air . For the sake of the kids.

Jon and Kate plus supervised visitation.

Jon and Kate have got to be some of the worlds worst parents! I have never watched their show and don't really follow this story but all the headlines alone make me cringe

[clearpepsi]

they are not he worlds worst parents - the Colenbine (sp?) parents are those, but they are bad parents - mostly her, inmature

[Laserbeam]

No offense - sincerely, but I'd watch at least a LITTLE bit of their program before saying that. Kate puts a lot of energy into planning things. The earliest episodes were really good, because the fame and money hada not really reached them yet. If you have a chance to watch the early episodes, I recommend them. Having said that, I would add that there were times I had to change the channel because of Kate's treatment of Jon. I wondered how long it would take him to tire of it.

I agree, the headlines make me cringe, too, and they can't be good for the kids.

Is he using his kids future college fund to fund hes partying and new apartment?

[kmomk]

I believe if Jon can move to New York without his kids and use the family money to do this,than he should in no way expect Kate to leave when he comes to visit the house and he should only get to visit if their not busy in their life as he is moving away ,not close by ,in a large enough place so he can help raise his kids and be there for them if they need him,he's leaving them so he can party this is wrong and people should see this.She should get the house the money and since hes leaving them and seems to hate the show ,the money should go for kids future and ,Kate and the kids living expenses.I hope that she gets the legal rulings in favor of her and the kids.Jon made his bed, I hope he dosn't change his mind when maybe court rules that he shouldn't use the kids money to live a vicarious life.Kate and the kids will need the money,this would be the right way to handle this.This is truly monsterous and selfish behavior Jon is exibiting and sad when grown ups act like teenagers.

They are = they're

That which belongs to them = their

[bluguy8]

this annoying family needs to go away

[wonkguy]

A 32 yr old man with no college degree, no job and 8 kids should not be looking for an apartment in Manhattan. Try Queens buddy, you've got a family to support, not a party lifestyle.

NICE!

It seems that pimping out his children has proved lucrative for this dirtbag

[WESTFIELD]

Like everyone else when this whole thing initially broke I sympathsized with John and took his side because Kate was always been mean. But then as the weeks have passed, John seemed like the bigger jerk. He seems to be spending weekends with his buddies and seems to have gotten a complex that he doesn't like publicity. Give me a break, dude you were the one that allegedly cheated on your wife. She wasn't caught at midnight in a car with another dude. So I now fully support Kate and think John should come back on his knees and ask for forgiveness.

"Like everyone else when this whole thing initially broke I sympathsized with John and took his side"

Ummm, no....99% of us really don't care about either one of these people at all...

I've never watched the show but I have watched the meltdown. Correct me if I'm wrong but he is moving to Manhattan, ostensibly as a single guy, leaving his wife with 8 kids, 6 of whom are 6 years old? Is that right? And he is going to buy a place, in NY, big enough for his kids to visit on weekends?

Trump Place is in the middle of nowhere. If he is going to live that far west, he may as well stay in Pennsylvania. I can find him a much better place in a much better location for less money.
