Kate Plus 8: Kate Gosselin as Good at Parenting as Dancing (Watch Full Episode)!

By AAyles on July 12th, 2010

It’s only the second new episode of Kate Plus 8 but Kate Gosselin is already back to her old antics, proving to the world that her parenting skills are as lacking as her skills on the dance floor.

After watching the episode, there were many things Kate did wrong – both as a parent and as a person in general. In addition to bossing the kids around like little slaves Kate also snapped at the man who came to her house to test her water after he made a comment regarding Dancing with the Stars.

The poor man showed up to show Kate how to use the water softener herself and made a little joke to lighten the mood but Kate wasn’t interested. He simply said that learning to work the water softener is “easier than dancing” but Kate quickly quipped “don’t make that comparison.”

But it wasn’t just the “hired help” (as Kate likes to refer to them) that Kate bossed around, obviously it was her kids as well.

Here are just a few of the loving comments the mom-of-eight expressed to her children during last night’s episode:

Everywhere I go, I’m mommy’d to death (in reference to her kids asking her questions. Newsflash Kate, that happens to every parent, you’re just the only one that complains about it THAT much.

“I’m in charge and that’s never gonna change.” Second newsflash, Kate, as soon as your kids turn 18 they will be so far gone that your controlling ways will never touch them again – so in good time, it will change. You can count on that.

“Am I grumpy? Yes. You would be too if you had to run 26 acres alone.” Third newsflash, Kate, complaining that your yard is too big and your house is too extravagant to clean is not going to win you any sympathy awards – not from us and definitely not from the 100-person team you had running around during last night’s episode doing all of the work for you.

If this much can happen in a one-hour episode, just image what Kate is like over the course of a year.

Poor kids, they’re probably counting the days until their 18th birthdays. We sure would be!

Watch the full episode (in two parts) below:

    I love your show, but if you don’t get Maddy under control and make her responsible for her actions, she is going to be a real handful by the time she is a teenager. the way she treats you and her siblings is NOT very nice. I am a divorced mother and I know you want to make up for the loss of having 2 full time parents, but by NOT having consequences for actions is in NO way helping her out.

    I love your article except for the part “watch the full episode” Thanks anyway. i wouldn’t watch that idiot on TV and I certainly won’t watch her on my laptop. I won’t watch View when she is on, I won’t watch anything she manages to show her face on and there seems to be plenty. I can’t believe people are interested in this idiot! She is a phoney and knows nothing about being a GOOD parent.Its all about ME ME ME!! How can you not see that, you Kate Gosselin fans..OMG can you imagine being called a Kate Gosselin fan…ugh! I would die! You can keep her. i sometimes read the comments on her for a good laugh.

    what a hateful piece of journalism

    Nice work! You’ve got HER number!
    What a phony poseur Kate Gosselin is – my heart bleeds for those poor kids.

    Paula: Mady is the only one who is not drinking the Kate Kool-Aid! She’s a fantastic kid who tells it like it is.

  • Janine

    I don’t know who Kate thinks she is. Quite frankly she should be embarrassed . The only thing she seems to care about is what she’s wearing and which pair of heels to put on!! What kind of idiot would wear heels with eight kids to New York city? Duh! and prancing around in her bikini. Give me a break. A far cry from the Kate I loved at the beginning. P.S- you will never be considered a celebrity so quit trying!!!

  • Sheila Harper

    Kate seems to be all about showing off her boob job! Everything she wears has her big boobs almost falling out–just as she intends. Spike heels and skimpy tops–it’s all about her showing off!!

  • Paige

    I would die for her I’m proud to be a Kate gosselin fan , bitches!
