Kate Gosselin Is Not Willing To Delay Divorce
Jon Gosselin may want to slow down their divorce, but Kate reportedly is having none of it, according to Radar Online.
"Kate sees no reason to wait and drag this out," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. "She doesn't think Jon is being sincere in his comments. She thinks it's all a publicity stunt."
She learned about Jon's "request" to slow the divorce the same way everyone else did - by reading about it on Tuesday in the press. And although one source says Jon had a letter with this information in it sent to Kate through an arbitrator, Kate never received or read it. "If he meant any of it, he could have easily told her in person or on the phone," the source told RadarOnline.com.
"Jon is trying to repair his public image," the source continued.
It should be noted that no one has talked about stopping the divorce for a possible reconciliation. Since that's the case, I can't say I blame Kate for wanting to just move forward and end this so they can move on with their lives. Sometimes too much has happened for a public statement of regret to be sufficient.
And I have to admit, I don't blame her for being skeptical about Jon's comments, do you?

Please please stop posting anything to do with these people. We are all tired of it. Neither one of them are responsible parents. Jon at least is right out there with his faults, and admits to them. Kate on the other hand, is the ice princess and her only concern is money. They should sell that house, buy a more appropriate "home" and start living like normal people. They are not stars or celebrities and I sincerely hope that people just stop this madness. I've written to The Discovery Channel several times to register my complaints. It's almost making me stop even coming to this site. I can't abide one more article/post about these disgusting people.
If you dont like it, don't read about it.....and it's not your conern about what house she should be in and what is an appropriate home for her kids...who are you...God?
they're not on the discovery channel...

that's priceless...
Umm their show is on TLC, so maybe you should try writing to them instead.
TLC and other networks are owned by Discovery channel.
Speak for yourself! Many of us are on Kate's side and think she is fine mother and person. If she was a single mom with 8 kids on welfare you would be degrading her for that too. Kate needs whatever she needs to do to support her family. What "normal" job could she possibly get that would ever allow her the schedule and the salary to take care of the kids?
Enough already. Leave her alone.
You know, it is people like you that really annoy me. A lot of people keep saying how it must be so hard for her to have 8 children and how else can she support them?, etc. Please wake up and realize that this woman chose to have all these children. It was not an accident. She and Jon set out to deliberately have children using fertility treatment and I would assume that they knew full well that this could mean having multiples. This did not just "happen" to them. And furthermore, there are many, many parents out there who have just as many children and manage to raise them adequately without having a show on TLC and making millions of dollars from it. What she is doing is not hard or courageous. She has loads of money and loads of help from nannies and babysitters. I am a single mother of 2 children and it is hard enough with just 2, and I do not have any help. But I do not see anyone applauding me for what I do, and the reason this is so is because I am doing what is expected of me. So why should we praise this unpleasant woman for doing what is expected of her? She is not, by any means, "alone" in her struggle, nor does she have to worry about if she will have enough money to support the children's daily needs. Why don't people like you start praising the mothers that really deserve it? Such as all the single mothers of several children that raise them alone without welfare and without nannies and, most importantly, without all the money that this sour woman has managed to exploit her children for? They certainly manage to find the schedule and salary to take care of their children. Why can't she? Or is she just so used to her lifestyle now that she is not willing to let it go for the good of her children?
You're wasting your time writing to The Discovery Channel. You need to be writing to TLC, as that is the channel that produces the show.

I'm glad Kate isn't trusting it. He announces that he wants to slow down the divorce on the same day TLC announces they aren't going to have him on the show anymore? He realizes he will actually have to get a JOB and suddenly he wants to slow it down. Oh, and the comment made by his lawyer about Kate needing to realize she needs to be less rigid? How is that statement supposed to make her WANT to go back to her disgusting husband??? Yuck ... move on Kate.
She has her head on straight. Thank goodness. She is no dummy for sure. Jon has lost his mind. She is SO better off without him.

i wouldnt want to be married him any longer than i had to either
Please stop writing about these idiots! TLC cancel the damn show already! The public can see through this BS. Enough!
You people are hilarious. Yes, Jon has been going through a very public mid-life crisis, but can you blame him?? When this show first started, he was the one with the IT job and she gave up her nursing job to stay at home. I am sure he'd have no problem working again without this TLC drama. He stated many times that he just wanted to raise their family in peace and quiet and could care less about being a "celebrity". She, however, has no problem wanting to jaunt across the country promoting her book, doing public speaking engagements all over the place. She has no problem being a "guest host" on The View. And I ask myself, why would anyone in their right minds listen to this woman talk about "parenting" when she hardly ever sees her children. This woman who wanted to have children so badly that even though she went through the heart break and pain to have the first 2 just wasn't satisfied and had to keep going? Just because you birth them doesn't mean you are a good mother.
Only the children should be receiving any sympathy in this situation. This embarrassment should be removed from television and allow these children to repair some of the damage their parents and the public have inflicted on them.

I don't think anything because I don't care. But, what time do these kids get up to go to school? 6:30 AM? It is still dark.
My kids get on the bus at 6:40 a.m. and it is still dark outside. I hate that they have to get up so early, but they like riding the bus with their friends.

Wow, if your kids get on the bus at 6:40, that means you get up around 6. LOL. I thought I had it bad getting up at 7:30 for my 8:00 class.
she's one smart cookie...i'm glad she's moving on.
I was skeptical about his intentions when I read about his 'apology' and wanting to delay the divorce. It's just him trying to clean up his mess. If I were her, I'd want to get it over and done with too.
I think the whole thing has been a huge publicity stunt by the BOTH of them. They will probably both "reconcile" and get back together in a couple months.

if at the end there's still going to be a divorce, why slow it down? it just drags the whole drama. good thing she's not taking it.
Team Kate!!! I've seen early episodes of the show where excerpts of video taken from their honeymoon were shown. Kate was bossy even then--she didn't undergo a personality change. (and people would not describe her behavior as shrewish if she were a man) Also, Kate is a registered nurse and worked full time prior to the birth of the sextuplets. That being said, she could not easily support a family of 8 kids on a nurse's salary. Nor would she have a lot of time to spend with the kids. By signing up to do a show with TLC the Gosselins were able to earn enough money to support the family and spend time with the kids. As they get older I'm sure the kids will find the cameras intrusive. But do little kids really care if there are production people around? I doubt it. And so what if TLC pays for vacations or other things. Again, good for Kate for finding a way to provide for the family. Finally, it's only been within the past year that the show has gained major media attention and that was sparked by Jon's infidelities. The show won't go on forever and hopefully the adults (i.e., Kate) have saved enough money in anticpation of that eventuality.
OMG, dgoddess, what show are you watching that you don't think they live in a real home? It's not a tent or anything, there are walls and a ceiling and everything- maybe you have cataracts?
BTW, "normal people" doesn't mean poor people. She works hard, she has a large family, why is it out of the question for her to have a home that accommodates all of them? Jealousy is ugly.
She has her head on straight? Yes, because belittling, degrading, and insulting the father of your children for years on end is so sane. Both of them are awful people that aren't worthy of the attention that is given to them.

Have you heard/seen his interviews??? He cut her down. Her tongue is bloody from biting it so hard. She could have destroyed him with each of his ridiculous antics but she didn't.
These people are disgusting, you don't create a family of that proportion and then walk away.
You owe it to them, to try stick at it!
Disgusting filth of society, just another loser statistic, with the kids left suffering and dealing with the consequences!
Selfish pigs of human beings!
Yeah, Kate owes to them to stay with a filthy cheating husband. No, if she stayed, especially after the way he has been acting (can you say mid-life crisis) sleeping with all these women. dressing like a idiot even got a earrings and partying in Vegas, she would just be showing her kids that that kind of behavior is okay. It is not when you are a father of 8.
She didn't do anything wrong. Yeah she has always been hard on Jon and she can get frustrated but she never was the one that gave up. Jon was sleeping with the daughter of a family friend, meaning that Kate knew her. He meet her thur Kate's surgeon's , then the babysitter too. COME ON, he is an asshole.
I doubt that his statement was sincere, too, bec if it was, he should have initiated it earlier and in PRIVATE. I think Jon has become so embarrassing / gross since the seperation / divorce proceedings but Kate did a lot of things that deteriorated their marriage before that so I can't really take sides, they are both at fault for this circus. I *do* feel bad for their kids, bec I am sure the twins will hear about this, hope their dad really means it and pray their parents do reconcile. I cannot even imagine being that young and having kids at school knowing all about it or seeing your parents plastered all over the tabloids at the supermarket, drugstore, everywhere. Hopefully the sextuplets are young enough that they are more sheltered from all that is going on.
Jon's a a-hole. He wants to drag it out so he can keep getting paid. Kate was and always will be the ambitious money maker. SO with the show being renamed and her obviously making the majority of the loot her can get half or whatever being that he would still be her husband. So basically his lazy ass won't have to work. That's disgusting of a man to do. Fight to get that divorce final so he can go make his own money, knowing how gross he is he'll probably have a sex tape "leak". BARF!
He just publicly announced that he "despised" the mother of his children. Before that he called his girlfriend "the love of his life" and announced that he "loved her more than he ever loved Kate." Now he wants to "slow down" the divorce process. He has either lost his mind or this is a publicity campaign designed to keep the money flowing. In either case, my heart goes out to the children. I watched the show on Monday and was so sad when I saw Cara making a card for her dad to tell him that she loves him. She (and all of the kids) deserve better.
I think Jon had a moment of clarity. He needs to take those kids off the show and try to fix his family.
We can all judge, but unless we walk a mile in his shoes...
wow since Jon isnt having fun no one else is going to have fun...Kate Plus 8...I give it 2 seasons.
