Kate Gosselin New Show: Is Kate Plus 8 Good for the Kids?

By AAyles on April 26th, 2010

Kate Plus 8Kate Gosselin is trying everything she can to provide for her 8 small children – but is putting them back in front of the cameras (and millions of viewers) really a smart decision?

Former reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8 was highly successful for the 5 seasons it was on the air. Then, in its last season, everything fell apart leaving Jon and Kate divorced and both jobless.

Since the show went off the air, Kate has been anxiously trying to get a number of projects started while Jon has been making headlines for dating women who can only be described as trash. From Hailey Glassman to Kate Major, Jon has been at the forefront of some very controversial relationships while providing next to nothing when it comes to his kids.

Meanwhile, Kate has appeared on Dancing with the Stars (she was the last contestant voted off the show), released another book and secured another reality TV show (Twist of Kate). But with so many things on the go, many are wondering whether Kate even needs to subject her kids to the limelight – or if she’s just getting greedy for money.

The damage of being so famous at such a young age is irreversible. Kate is making her kids appear on television (again) without their consent and without knowing how dangerous it could be to their health and their long-term development.

Do you think Kate’s making the right choice by putting her kids back on television?

Will you be watching Kate Plus 8?

    I believe Kate is a great Mom and provider. She will always put her kids first and succeed in all things. When you have that many kids you must have order. If you cannot do it Kate’s way it should be the highway. She need your help not confusion.

    I think Kate is doing the best that she can to take care of 8 kids…. Jon needs to manup and get a job… no matter what it is and do the best he can do for the family. Quit being jealous that she is succeeding and he isn’t. He is looking for an easy way out… Be a father to those 8 children or just get out of all their lives and let them get some peace. Jon is the one causing all the drama….. now he wants kate to support him because he is not man enough to just find a job and do the best that he can.

    I think Kate is trying to support her family in the style they have become used to. That’s not a bad thing. I like her on TV,doing the talk shows and trying Dancing with the Stars. Jon needs to get a job. Can’t wait to see those kids on TV again.

    I think Kate is doing a great job with the kids. I will most definetly be watching Kate Plus 8. Jon hasn’t done a thing to help out those kids, and moving to New York hasn’t helped either… Meanwhile Kate is a single mom with 8 children. He needs to help out a little. He used to be a great father to the kids. Those children are young and loved being filmed. The crew was like their best friends. I’m sure they missed them and are anxious to be back on TV. They’re great kids and deserve the best, and so does Kate. She is just trying to support them. No, she’s not greedy for money, she needs it. It’s expensive and not easy to raise 8 young kids. God bless all 8 children and Kate, I wish the best for them. (: <3

    it won’t last i think we got our fill of them and there not so cute anymore so don’t worry people we won’t have to watch for long.

    How can someone pass up millions of dollars to be a mom? I bet if anyone had the opportunity, they would do it too in this economy. People are trying to feed their children and being a nurse would never feed 8 kids. She would have to be working all of the time and over-time. What is Jon doing to help. He is so stupid for even thinking of custody of the children with his drug addictions and a different women every other week. That is worse for the kids than Kate doing this show. You don’t have to watch even if it stays on the air unless you are too stupid to work your remote and change the channel.

    WHAT IS HER PROBLEM…WHY PUT THEM (THE KIDS) BACK ON TV. LET THEM LIVE A NORMAL LIFE, OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT…SHE IS A NURSE AND THEY MAKE DECENT MONEY. SHE JUST NEEDS TO GET BACK TO REALITY AND LIVE A NORMAL LIFE :)

    Wow, ladies, way to drink the kool-aid. Kate Gosselin has had her fifteen minutes of fame. Time to bow out.

  • donna

    Why is it OK for 18 kids and counting to be on TV and no one is worrying about the kids but it is wrong for Kate to do it? Is it because she is so attractive and some people are just plain jealous? You don’t have to watch if you don’t want to and leave those of us who want to watch and Kate alone The father is the big loser!!!!
