Jon Gosselin: Kate is Exploiting Our Kids for Cash!

Reports have said that Kate Gosselin is worried that Jon might expose her toxic parenting on his own show with Hannah and Collin. It turns out that she needn’t have worried. Jon is against his kids appearing on film, and he doesn’t need a reality gig to expose Kate for what she is. Jon says that Kate is violating a court’s decision by having the kids film, all so that she can exploit them for money to fund her lifestyle. In 2018, the Department of Labor declined to grant Kate the permits that she and TLC wanted. Why? Because both the department and a judge concluded that it was not in the best interests of her minor children to film for Kate Plus 8 . And yet Kate and the network continued to film Kate’s (remaining) minor children, both at home and on location in North Carolina. Speaking to TheDailyMailTV , Jon Gosselin unloads his frustrations that his ex is breaking rules about their kids just to rake in more money. “I’m furious,” he expresses. “Absolutely furious.” “[The network] didn’t care,” Jon Gosselin laments. “It’s really upsetting that big businesses and big corporations go do whatever they want, against a parent’s legal right,” he despairs.. “The judge and the guardian ad litem both agreed that it wasn’t in my children’s best interests to be filmed,” Jon points out. A guardian ad litem is appointed by a judge to evaluate a child’s welfare as an outsider who then reports findings to a judge. Jon continues: “but my ex-wife and TLC had other ideas.” “They put profits and ratings ahead of the well-being of my children,” Jon accuses. He continues furiously: “and filmed illegally without work permits.” “They literally don’t care,” Jon says. “They’ll pay the fine.” He hates that “big business will do whatever they want to do because they have the money to pay all the fines.” Any crime or violation that is payable by fine, from parking to filming without a permit, just means legal for rich people . Remember that. “This is all about money,” Jon notes. “This is a fiduciary thing.” He accuses: “This has nothing to do with anything else other than Kate’s lifestyle, not the kids’ lifestyle.” “Go get a job,” he indirectly tells Kate. “Support your own family.” “It’s disgusting,” he bemoans. “My kids work for her lifestyle.” “Kate does nothing,” Jon continues. “Zero. Absolutely nothing.” in September, Jon spoke of how toxic and damaging a household Kate has built for the children still under her “care.” “I do know what [Kate’s] capable of, whether it’s mental or physical [abuse],” Jon stated grimly. The whole world has known for many years that Kate is a monster. Jon points out that Hannah and Collin left a lot behind just to escape. “I have two kids in my house who left a whole pile of money behind,” he noted. “They left fame and money and came to my house,” he emphasized. “They left it all behind.” He also says that, actually, none of his kids really want to be reality stars. “They have all said they have to film because they feel they need to provide a lifestyle for their mother,” Jon revealed. “They don’t want to film,” he claimed. “They said they have to film. That’s heartbreaking.” “Why do my kids need to provide for themselves?” he asks. “They’re kids.” That is an extremely fair question. A lot of terrible parents exploit their children for reality fame. Networks profit from it. One day, laws need to be passed to prevent this sort of thing, be it Gosselins or Duggars or Teen Moms.

Kate Gosselin: OMG, What If My Kids Turn on Me?!?

Kate Gosselin has not said very much in public of late. But a new report suggests that the reality star is very afraid of what her kids might say about her in the near future. Two kids in particular, that is. As previously reported, sources recently claimed that Kate is basically living in fear these days , petrified that ex-husband Jon Gosselin might spill any one of a number of damaging beans. If you’ll recall, Kate and Jon got divorced in 2009 and both sides than signed a gag order that legally prevented them from bashing the other in any kind of specific detail. We previously quoted an In Touch Weekly insider who alleged Kate is worried Jon “might be up to something,” and that he may even be angling for his very own show, despite the father of eight never once hinting he wants to go in this direction. Now, this same insider tells this same tabloid that Kate isn’t only concerned about her ex-spouse might tell the world… … she’s also afraid of what her very own kids could expose. “She’s afraid that… Hannah and Collin might start talking,” the aforementioned publication writes. “About what? Kate says she doesn’t know, but of course she does.” The 15-year olds both now live with their father in Delaware. Various recent reports have indicated that Kate has almost no contact with either Hannah or Collin , the latter of whom only just got out of a special needs facility late last year. Upon doing so, he ended up in the care of Jon because Kate didn’t even bother to show up for a custody hearing in December. Making matters even worse and more controversial, Jon told DailyMailTV this summer that Collin was only ever diagnosed with ADHD — but that Kate insisted in basically locking him away. “Kate … couldn’t deal with him. He was alone for three and a half years with no parents, all alone. It was inhumane,” Jon told this outlet of his son and his ex, adding in mid-September: “It’s time America found out the truth about Kate, she isn’t the person you think she is.” That’s an interesting quote because most people think Kate is a rather irresponsible parent who cares more about garnering attention than doing what’s best for her many children. Or maybe that’s just us. In this same interview, Jon alleged that Kate has “mentally abused and alienated” Hannah . The teenager recently decided to sit out a trip with her mom on Kate Plus 8, prompting Kate to sort of throw her under the bus. “Hannah … it was sad for us because … you know, they’re getting older, and they’re making different choices, and they’re doing different things,” Kate said in a confessional on the show. “And she opted to stay back with her dad, actually. Which again, you know, her choice. Whatever. It’s not optimal for Mom. But it’s something that I support. And you know, we just, adjust and move on.”

Collin Gosselin Accuses Mother of Child Abuse, Begs for Dad’s Help

Jon Gosselin has once again attacked his ex-wife for being a terrible mother. On its own, such an attack would scarcely be news; Jon has been doing this for about a decade. But the details of this verbal assault are different from his many past ones, most notably because they appear to be backed up by son Collin.  The 15-year old was away from his family for many years due to what mother Kate Gosselin would simply refer to as “special needs.” Toward the very end of 2018, Jon took the teenager out of ⁣Fairmont Behavioral Health Institute and Collin has been living with his father ever since. For the very first time, meanwhile, we’re now learning about the details behind Collin’s estrangement from his family — and they are quite disturbing. “Dear Dad, I’m not trying to trick you, but I still love you,” Collin wrote in a June 2017 letter obtained by DailyMailTV this week. The letter continues as follows: “I told Mom I want to live with you, she said no. But right? She can’t choose for me. I’m old enough now, I’m YOUR son, not hers. “She was abusive to me after I left your house. I’m sorry. Take this to court because … you’re my dad, my savior.” The message does not explain exactly how Kate was allegedly abusive toward Collin. But the letter was reportedly leaked by Collin’s roommate, and it concluded: “Please help me and let me meet Colleen [Conrad, Jon’s girlfriend]. I’m counting on you to get me out of here. Daddy, I love you. save me. Please come FAST. I love you. Help me. BYE.” Jon himself then spoke to DailyMailTV and took maybe his harshest swipes ever at his ex-wife. Which is saying a ton, considering all the ways Jon has trashed Kate in the past. He said Collin had spent three years “caged” in the special needs institution despite only being diagnosed with ADHD, telling the outlet: “Kate … couldn’t deal with him. He was alone for three and a half years with no parents, all alone. It was inhumane.” After Jon received this troubling letter — written in crayon from his son — he “raised the money to get a lawyer and went through the courts to get joint legal custody” only to have Collin moved to another institution five hours away in Pittsburgh, he explains: “I’d drive out to Pittsburgh to visit him as much as I could and eventually it progressed to overnight stays before he was finally released into my custody.” Over the years, fans certainly noticed that Collin was not included in family photos with his siblings. Any time the subject was raised, Kate would not elaborate beyond the aforementioned description of Collin having “special needs,” saying this to People Magazine in 2016: [There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things. This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own. She and Jon divorced in 2009 after rising to fame on a TLC reality show that chronicled their lives as the parents of both twins and sextuplets. “It’s time America found out the truth about Kate, she isn’t the person you think she is,” Jon said of the reality star mom, who now has her own reality show titled Kate Plus Date. Jon won temporary custody of Collin in December 2018 after Kate no-showed a hearing to determine the future of her son. She has reportedly severed all ties from Collin , who lives with Jon these days in Pennsylvania. (His sister, Hannah, also lives with her dad, who remains very distant from his other six children.) “I know my children have suffered abuse and I know one day they’re going to tell their own story,’ Jon told DailyMail TV. “And sadly enough, I know what PTSD is. It’s really upsetting.” According to DHS documents seen by DailyMailTV, numerous allegations of suspected child abuse against Kate were investigated. However, the agency ultimately had determined the reports were unfounded due to a lack of evidence. “I think Kate has really poisoned my children’s minds against me,” Jon says of why never talks to three-quarters of his kids, adding: “She’s put stuff in their minds about my personality. I never cheated on my wife, I’m not a monster, I love my children more than anything… “I brought Collin home. He’s a great kid. I want the family unit together, I even want to co-parent.” As for why Jon is finally speaking out now? He signed a 10-year gag order as part of his divorce settlement — and those 10 years are now up. “There’s a lot of stuff I want to dispel, there’s a lot of untruths,” Jon concludes “I have watched my children suffer and I have not been able to say a word. Kate wanted the gag order because she didn’t want me speaking the truth. “I know everything. I lived it with her and without her. So I know every single thing that has transpired and what has been portrayed to the American public, it’s not all true.”

Kate Gosselin Says Goodbye to Two More Kids, Still Has Too Many

Kate Gosselin’s eldest daughters Mady and Cara sure grew up fast! The twins, who seem to be closer to their mom than their six siblings, recently celebrated their high school graduation . Now Kate and the twins are bursting with excitement for the next chapter of their lives. This fall, the twins will finally separate as they each fly the nest and head to different colleges. “They’re both so excited,” Kate said of the twins while speaking with  People magazine. She explained, “They agreed all along that they don’t want to go to the same school because their ambitions are so different.” Don’t worry, the family won’t actually be all that far apart.  Both the girls will be attending college in New York, while Kate, along with their brothers and sisters, will be nearby in Pennsylvania. Perhaps being relatively close to home will allow the girls frequent opportunities to go home and visit their mom. “We are all going to miss them,” Kate told  People . “I don’t care if they only come home to see the dog,” she joked, ” as long as they come home!” Though Kate will no doubt miss her eldest daughters, she’ll have a far-from-empty nest left to tend. Four of her children — Joel, Leah, Alexis, and Aaden — still live with her.  Notably, two more of her kids, Hannah and Collin, have also left to live with their father Jon. But that still leaves Kate with half of her horde of kids to take care of, enough to keep any mom busy. Speaking of busy, Kate is now puzzling out how to juggle the back-to-school madness that comes with having kids at multiple schools. “Within six days, Mady has to be dropped off, Cara has to be dropped off, and the little kids begin their first day of high school,” Kate explained. She added that “Keeping straight the deadlines and dates for two different schools is mind-blowing.” It’s actually three schools, but hey, counting is hard, and we’re guessing Kate is fairly used to the high school routine by now. Kate also has her hands full with her own new reality series,  Kate Plus Date . The series explores Kate’s re-entry into the dating pool at a time in her life when she feels her especially vulnerable. “Pretty soon,” she told  Extra last month, “I am going to be alone, just me and the dogs.” “It was kind of now or never,” Kate recalled. Kate said she was apprehensive about dating again, especially after her very painful and public divorce from Jon. “I didn’t want my kids to have to go through that again,” Kate said. “I have to get it right,” she decided, “the stakes are really high.” It’s nice that she’s so concerned for her kids, but according to her, the kids have been cheering her on. Mady and Cara especially have  reportedly been pushing her to date again. We hope the twins have a smooth transition into college life. A break from the cameras could be good for them. But we join many fans in hoping they’ll still have time to show up on  Kate Plus Date now and then. View Slideshow: 23 Infamous Kate Gosselin Scandals

Jeff Prescott Slams Kate Gosselin’s Claims That They Were Never a Thing

Kate Gosselin clearly doesn’t deserve love or companionship, but she may find both on her new dating show . But with all of the talk about Kate Plus Date , she has been slamming reports about a previous relationship. That hasn’t stopped her “non” ex from coming forward and confirming that they dated very seriously for two years. It was widely believed that reality TV villain Kate Gosselin had dated Jeff Prescott. Prescott is a millionaire philanthropist who co-founded Dreamstime.  Kate Gosselin took to her Instagram Stories to claim that none of that is true. “I didn’t date him,” the walking nightmare insisted on social media. She went on to warn her fans and followers to never trust “people who sell stories.” We wonder how she defines her career as anything but that. Kate claims that “they are looking for publicity to benefit themselves/their business.” Saying that you dated Kate might get your name or even your business’ name out there. But will it help business? Some people might avoid it like the plague. Speaking to Radar Online , however, Jeff Prescott says that their romance was not fake news. They didn’t just go on a couple of dates. He says that they were an item for nearly two years. Prescott adds that he was, at one point, so serious about Kate that he went house-hunting so that he might live closer to her. Luckily for him, it sounds like their relationship ended before he sank money into Pennsylvania real estate. Now, house-hunting could be the actions of a one-sided man who’s read more into a relationship than is really there. According to Jeff Prescott, he and Kate were both serious about each other. “We were talking about our future together,” he tells RadarOnline . He even says that he and Kate were just about ready to go public with their romance. Just a few years later, and she’s saying that they were never even an item. Ouch. If push came to shove, there may even be a way to prove how serious they allegedly were about each other. Prescott says that he was prepared to do much more than announce that they were dating. He says that, back in 2015, he actually signed on to Kate Plus 8 . There, he would have played the boyfriend of the notorious mother. Clearly, those plans fell through along with their alleged relationship. Some of Kate’s suitors on Kate Plus Date have no idea who she is, which we suppose makes sense. (Who would agree to date her if they knew as much about her as the rest of us?) They have then been shocked to learn that she is the mother of eight children. Of course, that number doesn’t really reflect reality these days, does it? These days, she’s only regularly terrorizing six of her children. Two of them, Hannah and of course poor Collin, have escaped to the relative safety of their father’s house. Jon Gosselin’s not making anybody’s Father of the Year list, but at least he’s not an awful human .

Jeff Prescott Slams Kate Gosselin’s Claims That They Were Never a Thing

I Am Jazz Renewed for Season 6 by TLC!

For Jazz Jennings, the complications after her bottom surgery were worth it, because she can now live as her authentic self without dysphoria. It also paid off for her show, I Am Jazz , whose ratings were through the roof. Now, the GLAAD Award winning reality series has been renewed for yet another season. The Wrap excitedly reports that I Am Jazz has been renewed by TLC. The show’s sixth season, which has now been greenlit, will air in 2020. Season 5 showcased some pivotal moments in Jazz’s life. Jazz, who is now 18, underwent bottom surgery, fulfilling her lifelong dream of having a vagina. Fans saw her grapple with complications — and get serious with a new boyfriend . Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, spoke about how excited he is for I Am Jazz to continue. “Jazz is the quintessential example of living authentically and embracing one’s true self,” Lee begins. “And,” his statement continues. “That is what TLC seeks to celebrate in all of our programming.” Some shows succeed more at that goal than others. “Jazz’s story has inspired viewers across America,” Lee notes. “And,” Lee says, Jazz’s show has “never more so than this past year.” He notes that viewers tuned in and watched Jazz “during the most important moment of her life.” That would be her gender confirmation surgery. “We are proud that Jazz and her family have allowed TLC to follow along on her journey,” he expresses. “And,” Lee concludes. “We look forward with great excitement to sharing the next chapter of her life with our devoted audience.” I Am Jazz ‘s eventful fifth season paid off where it counts — in viewership. Season six was it’s highest-rated season among women in the 18-49 range and in the 25-54 range. (Yes, there is some overlap there — but those are coveted demographics, especially since most television viewers are women) Season 5 averaged about 1.4 million viewers per episode. Overall, Season 5’s numbers were reportedly the highest in the show’s history. Jazz’s success is especially notable because so many people have tried to tear down the show — and her, personally. Notably, time after time, former Counting On star Derick Dillard has verbally attacked Jazz simply for existing as herself. He is not alone, unfortunately. Trans folks have always been among us, but never before have they been as visible to the public eye as during the past several years. Unfortunately, that makes them an easy target for bigots — and for any politician or entertainer who wishes to cater to bigots. Jazz hopes that sharing her story, with all of its ups and downs, will help to change hearts and minds. As you probably noticed if your social media feeds look anything like mine, Thursday night was the annual GLAAD Awards. Jazz Jennings was in attendance … but had to bow out. “I didn’t survive the red carpet tonight,” Jazz admitted in an Instagram post. “My social anxiety got the best of me,” she explained. “And I had to remove myself from that situation.” “I’m feeling better now,” Jazz noted. “But no one talks about how stressful it can be for 10 cameras to be flashing in your face with paparazzi screaming your name.” “It’s not for everyone,” Jazz concluded. “Especially not someone with crippling anxiety.” View Slideshow: Jazz Jennings Dismisses Derick Dillard: Who Cares What He Says?!?

Kate Gosselin Pretends to Celebrate Birthday with Her Kids

Kate Gosselin turned 44 years old on March 28. And the polarizing reality star really wants you to think she celebrated the occasion with her kids. The mother of eight shared the above and below photos on her Instagram page in honor of this birthday, writing as a caption to them all: So this is 44…. I was acting silly because my kids insisted on taking pictures lol! We had a fun day! We’re very glad to hear this, of course, if it’s actually the case. Kate has been very quiet on social media over the past several months while she and Jon once again battle for custody of their kids. The latter actually now has legal custody of son Collin after Kate failed to show up at a hearing in December during which a judge was going to decide on the child’s circumstances. Without Kate present, Collin was temporarily awarded to Jon. For the past year or so, meanwhile, daughter Hannah has also been living with her father, despite Kate having legal custody in her case. Moreover, court documents submitted by Jon and his legal team in October paint a very dark portrait of Kate. They actually read as follows: “It would not be in the best interests of the minor child…to have independent time with mother or to have mother share legal custody of the minor child.” Jon is saying here that he thinks Kate is a danger to her son , which goes way beyond the occasional mean Tweet or barb about his ex-wife; it’s very serious, legal business. We’re not taking sides or anything here, as we’ve mocked both parties plenty of times in the past: Jon for being a neglectful dad and Kate for being an exploitive mother. This is all just a lengthy preamble for why we sort of question whether any of Kate’s kids were actually with her on her birthday. She doesn’t seem to be on great terms with them right now and… well… … they are ALL behind the camera? There’s no photo at all of a single one with his or her mom? Then again, we do know that twins Mady and Cara are getting along well with their mother right now, for business purposes at the very least. They’ll play key roles on the upcoming Kate Gosselin dating show, which we really wish was a thing we were just making up. “We’ve been nudging her to date for years,” Mady told press members gathered a couple months back about this project. “She deserves to be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.” This series will premiere in June and not feature any sextuplets because Jon says he wouldn’t allow it. “I didn’t sign their work permits,” Jon has said of the program and the role of his younger children, adding: “That’s why they can’t film. They came to me and I was like, ‘No, I’m not signing that.'”

Jon Gosselin Thinks Kate is a Danger to Their Son

Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin have gone back and forth quite a lot over the years. Heck, the former couple went back and forth even when they were married, as often captured by TLC cameras for the painful reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8. But newly-obtained legal documents prove that Jon has taken this never-ending feud to a new, very disturbing level. As previously detailed, Jon now has temporary custody of 14-year old son Collin. He earned this right in December after Kate failed to show up at a court hearing , thereby failing to officially respond to Jon’s official request for Collin to reside under his roof. (This sextuplet had spent the previous two years at a school for special needs children.) In the time since, Jon has shared a number of social media photos of himself and Collin, along with himself and daughter Hannah, who still technically “belongs” to Kate — but who has been living with her dad for about a year. Kate, for her part, has remained almost entirely silent on the issue. However, Radar Online has now published the court records submitted by Jon’s legal team in October, the ones that eventually led to a judge placing Collin in his father’s care. And these records paint Kate in an awful light, accusing her of actually being a danger to young Collin. “It would not be in the best interests of the minor child…to have independent time with mother or to have mother share legal custody of the minor child,” the documents state. For what reason? “Because mother has not cooperated with the child’s treatment and is a ‘trigger’ for the minor child,” Jon’s legal team claimed last fall. In the filing, Gosselin requested temporary sole legal and physical custody of Collin, which is exactly what he was granted. But that’s pretty crazy, right? Jon is saying that Kate has actively damaged her own child. She’s the one who has said on record here and there that Collin has “special needs,” which is why he’s been away from his family while receiving professional assistance for these unknown needs. Jon, conversely, clapped back against this assertion in December. “He is not on any spectrum or special needs,” Jon said simply, taking a clear shot at his ex-wife in the process. In 2016, Kate had alleged the opposite, telling People Magazine: “Collin has special needs. [There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things. “This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own. I’ve felt very alone in this.” We’re wading into very sensitive territory here, broaching the topic of a 14-year old boy’s mental health and/or learning disabilities. We don’t wish to speculate or gossip about such a difficult subject. Our main point here instead is to show just how unfortunate a situation he and his seven siblings are in, having to live with parents who continue to fight in both public and legal fashion. What could Jon possibly mean when he says Kate serves as a “trigger” for Collin?!? Kate, as we said previously, has not commented on any of Jon’s remarks regarding Collin, with whom Jon claims his ex spends no time at all . But she did speak to journalists this week about her upcoming dating show, which will feature her trying to find love and also feature her 18-year old daughters, Mady and Cara. Is it really a great idea to have her children on TV with her again? Yes, Kate believes. “I feel like, more than anything, [being on TV] has enriched their lives,” she told members of the press on Tuesday, expounding as follows: “It has made them world-wise and taught them a lot about people’s intentions I think more so than other kids their age… “They are very intelligent and informed, and I don’t worry about that, because we started this when they were very young… “Ydou always want to do the best for your kids, and I did it in a way that, you know, we live our real lives and that’s filmed… “And they’ve turned out great, and they are very, very supportive of this, and it’s opened up so many opportunities for our family. “And, so, it’s been great. It’s been, essentially, a family business and it’s allowed me to work with my kids kind of in and out of frame. “Everything has goods and bads … The goods overwhelmingly outweigh the bads.”

Kate Gosselin Returns to Instagram to Whine About Children’s Homework

Ever since Kate Gosselin failed to show up to court and Jon Gosselin was awarded custody of Collin , Kate’s been radio silent. Now, however, she has returned to Instagram to complain about her remaining children’s school assignments. As a bunch of commenters pointed out … aren’t the kids supposed to do their own homework? What gives? Kate Gosselin took to Instagram to complain about her children’s homework. “Just buried in Science Fair projects over here…” she writes. Along with her captions, she includes two photos of what appear to be labels. Hoping for solidarity with some fans, Kate continues: “This time of year is truly a joy for all of us.” Kate captions her post: “#LastYearOfScienceFair #CallsForACelebration “#WorkHardAndGetDone.” “Why are you doing the work for them????” one bewildered follower asks. “They are almost 15 years old,” comments another. “I doubt they need your help as much as you like to think they do.” That same comment concludes: “It’s their project, not yours.” Almost always, when a parent sits down and does their child’s homework for them, it’s not to “help” the child. Rather, it’s about the parent’s ego. They see their child’s work as a reflection of them and their status. It’s a control freak thing. So … no real surprise from Kate. Some parents found it within themselves to actually sympathize with Kate Gosselin, if you can imagine. When one commenter observed that Kate is “always complaining,” another snapped back. “Grow up,” demanded Kate’s defender. “Any parent who has gone through Science Fair has said far worse.” “Oh my goodness @kateplusmy8 I have missed your posts so much!” gushed an apparent sycophant. “I hope you are all doing well,” that diehard fan continued. “And hope you lost pictures from the science fair.” “Super mom,” praised another. That is … not what most people say about Kate. In fact, given her alarming history, a lot of people describe Kate with words that we wouldn’t care to print. Others wrote that they understood Kate’s position. “I remember them days with my daughter!” wrote a fan. “Some parents never cared to help their children,” the commenter lamented. “Way to go Kate for being a FANTASTIC mom!! Love you!!” “That must be BRUTAL with 6 the same age!!!” sympathized another. “My hat is off to you!” “Hated Science Fair time,” agreed another. “The worst!!!” “Next year’s project,” joked a fan. “How many more wrinkles did my mom get during this year’s science fair project?” Another found a spectacularly shady way to point out that Kate’s self-imposed plight could have been worse. “Well, you have two less kids now to take care of,” the comment reads. The comment concludes: “With Jon having Collin and Hannah.” If you’re the cackling sort, now would be the time to do so. As we have reported, Jon Gosselin was awarded full custody of Collin after Kate couldn’t even be bothered to show up to the hearing. Not every student has to do a science fair project, but schools that assign them do expect the student to do the work. Maybe Kate simply insisted upon taking charge of the printing and cutting of labels? If so … that’s still supposed to fall to her kids. Remember, even her youngest children are teens. That’s old enough to be trusted with a printer and an implement for cutting paper. But we’re not sure what we expected. For Kate, it’s her way or the highway. And Jon probably doesn’t have much more room in his house.
