Dear Kids,
Your daddy is a fat two-timing loser. Do you like my new hair?
love, Mom
I SMELL PULITZER!
This is my favorite comment of the day.
Ha hahaha, this is so true-Kate Gosselin would do this to! See Gosselin children how mommie rolls! LOL Kate Gosselin in a joke, a sick joke!
You people are sick jelous angry people. Try to find the good things in life and people and stop being so into-yourself.
why cant kate gosselin fans spell jealous?
So true! Kate dear, you may want us to know, but trust me, there’s a lot out there who really don’t want to know more than we already do. You and hubby churned out an additional litter of kids in an already overpopulated world. You pimped out the kids for money. You’re a shrew, he’s a pig. That pretty much covers it.
Dear Mommy;
We’re sorry we cried with the TLC crew left the compound. We were sad because the crew were the only family we knew. Once they left we were afraid that you would have another one of your meltdowns like you did on the airplane, remember that day? Now that the crew is gone, we’re so happy at least the nanny/housekeeper/cook/gardener are still around. At least we know you’ll try to be nicer to us because their our new family. Love you Mommy Dearest! Your Gosselin 8
p.s. Do we need a guardian at lidem for set up our accounts from our share of the book proceeds. Just asking.
John is the man! I bet his media-whore of a wife is blabbing about how how tough it is to be a mother of 8. I would like to see her close her legs for once and shut down the baby factory! John is the victim, she forced him to leave!
Jon is a loser. Brought in the show so he could quit his job, then cheated. Now all of a sudden Jon doesn’t like it. Too bad for that piece of crap. If he had zipped his pants his family would be together. And this ragging on Kate would not be happening.
Dear Childeren,
Sorry my ambition to be famous ruined your lives.
Love Mom
come on…she wouldn’t apologize for that.
Dear Children,
sucks you won’t get the money until your older
love mommy
Dear kids,
How many times has Mommy told you, you cannot negotiate separate deals nor get your own agents. Mommy has you under her contract with TLC. Mommy doesn’t want to have to litigate! Now play ball and trust me.
love, Mom
Dear offspring,
what are your names again? quick, mommy’s about to go on another “book” tour with her braindead fans.
With mild affection,
Kate
PS – Please don’t call the nanny “mommy” in front of the cameras anymore.
smartAlex…that was the BEST. lmao
Dear Kids,
These -cough- heartfelt letters really should be privately put aside for you when you are older, but since I am so obsessed with fame and making myself seem better than my slave of an ex-husband, I will publish them for the world to see. How adorable is that?
-Mom
Holler! PS, Mommy will do anything for a buck.
Unlike Daddy, who won’t do a dang thing.
Amen J, I was just about to post something very similar to what you just said. Spot on!!
She may have dollar signs dancing in her eyeballs at all times, but at least she’s doing something productive that will benefit her children.
I think it just benefits her selfishness, the hired help take care of the children while mommie is out playing with the party boys after she gets all the different make overs to try to be someone she is not. I don’t really think the children give 2 shi_s about the money or what mommie looks like, they just want to be loved. Mommie buys them things, she don’t give them what they NEED. She pushed Jon away so she could get what she wanted.
I hear the front of the book is a lot shorter than the back.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA … that made my day
Yes, I, too, love me some skiiboski.
I don’t get it.
skiiboski is making fun of her girl mullet. short in the front, long in the back.
Dear Diary,
I stole Hasselbeck’s birth control pills from her dressing room again. One more maternity leave and that chair is mine forever! I can’t wait!
p.s. Joel and Collin have pneumonia again. Why do these things always happen to ME?
I’d really like to know what some of you hateful, cynical people would have her do. These children’s father is not only not supporting them, but he blocked the family from continuing to do their show. Kate will never take “mother of the year,” but being driven to succeed and demonstrating work ethic to your children are just as important as being warm and fuzzy.
Perhaps she could find a real job like the rest of the world? She was a nurse before, right? She could probably find work again and support her family. Sure, she’s become accustomed to expensive hair treatments and a life of luxury vacations, but there are men and women everyday who have to cut things out of their lives and make due with the basics.
And if she went and got a “real job” you people would be all over her for leaving the children with nannies.

Jon MIGHT be able to make a living if Kate called her pimps-The Learning Channel-off on their attempt to ruin the father of her children with their lawsuit. Has she done so? No. She cares more about being a frigging ‘contract honorer’ than the kid’s father’s ability to help his family out. She is a despicable excuse for a mother.

Just for your information (in case you did not know), Mommy dearest already has nannies taking care of the kiddies, housekeeper, groundskeeper, etc.
In fact, one of the tups (cannot remember which one) called the nanny “mommy” once which totally torqued the Queen Bee.
BTW, if she got a “real job” and was still able to keep all of the help (including her b/f Steve), then I would be happy for her.
You said it yourself, Kate will never be Mother of the Year — so why should she be rewarded for having nothing to contribute on the subject other than “Get your family on TV”? She’s just another reality TV oddball who has started believing the fanmail she gets from the insane shut-ins who watch her every week. I don’t care to hear what she has to say on any subject outside the welfare of her kids. If she can’t keep the TV show going, she should move on to a normal, non-filmed life.
She’s had a taste of fame and thinks she’s too good to return to a “normal” life.
We’re the minority here, but I agree with you A. K, what constitutes a “real job”? She HAS work that pays her much more attractively than being a nurse ever would. That’s society’s failing, not hers. And Freida, plenty of “normal” people write books. Frankly, I don’t care what most of them have to say. That’s why I don’t buy their books.
I agree. It really puzzles me why these people hate Kate so much. Why not the Duggars who keeps on giving birth and include in their show the littlest of their kids in the show? Why not the Little People – who much of the time gets to travel too & go on vacation with the whole family. Why target Kate – it looks like it is just jealousy.
People are just jealous. When good things aren’t happening in your own life, I think it’s the natural human nature to start to covet what others have. All of the negative comments here – I’m sure if they were offerred the same thing they wouldn’t say no. I’m just glad she is providing for her family and not expecting me to do it. Also, she is being a positive role model for her children who, lets be honest, lack a real father.
I think many people object to Kate Gosselin because for years she professed to be something different than she actually was. She said she was a stay-at-home mom, but wasn’t. She said she was broke, yet she flaunts things like a $7000 hair makeover, expensive clothes (while complaining she can’t afford organic milk for her children or has a purse full of unpaid bills), she said she would never have a nanny, yet she had one working for at that exact time. I could go on and on. IMO, the best word to describe her would be ‘contradiction’. She says one thing in one interview but is filmed doing the exact opposite – or says the opposite in another interview.
As for their children lacking a real father? I guess it would make a difference if I knew your definition of a ‘real’ father. I define a ‘real’ one to be loving, nurturing, caring, and supportive – characteristics Jon has demonstrated himself to be – and characteristics Kate has demonstrated she’s lacking.
If she and Jon had simply admitted to their lifestyle I know I wouldn’t have objected to them nearly as much as I do. And, to be honest, TLC didn’t do them any favors. They banked on the family living a wholesome lifestyle, still scrimping and saving while they hid the expanse and expense of their new home from the cameras, etc.
For Kate to have any hope of drawing viewers or readers she needs to be forthright, open and honest, live what she says, and stop talking in circles and cliches – something she’s had a hard time with in the past.
Someone asked why no criticism of the The Little People, Duggars, etc – have not filmed their series depicting themselves to be any different from their actual lifestyles – different than the Gosselin’s.
How do you know Jon is not meeting his financial obligations? I am sure if Jon was not coughing up 7K a month for support, Kate and TLD would be screaming bloody murder. Don’t make accusations without proof.
We’d have her go away and never come back again! We are tired of seeing her and hearing about her!!!
Dear Dollar Signs
I made so many sacrifices I just have to get paid again telling you all that everything I do I do for you, so enjoy the fake n bake tan, the press on nails and the hair cause mommy’s got press to do, later suckers.
Dearest little anklebiters,
Mommy needs to find the dogs that used to be members of our family until they started receiving more attention and fan mail than us, so we can utilize them again as ‘watch dogs’. With my new ‘Barbie” hair I will definately land another gig on TV soon and the press and media will once again stop pestering me to ask them, “do you want fries with that?”
These are the BEST comments EVER!!!
A hint to Kate Gosselin, when you want to write individual letters to your children…DON’T PUBLISH THEM FOR MONEY!!
Dear: ________
I hate your father, he’s a lazy ass b@#$@#. I love having you because you help me not have to work and to have house servants… I am a nobody but having you turned me into a somebody! I love you for it!
Can’t this woman just let her personal stuff stay personal. She is so degrading! I used to love J&K+8 now I just hate.
To Kate Gosselin
I just want to you to know…your 15 minutes are up.
