Praise the Lord!!! I was sooooooooo tired of that show
The kids were so bratty and she was so bossy. She treated her husband like he was one of the children.
They got their 15 minutes of fame, now it is time to hit the road.

Okay, as I read this article from another women harshly judging Kate's attitude toward Jon I must say I am disgusted! As wives we all know how easy it is to find ourselves in the role of captain in our households. For everytime we saw Kate ask/tell Jon to assist her with the children how many times did you see Jon jump in without being asked. Why should Kate beg her husband for help? Would you be saisfied if she said,"Oh Jon pretty please with sugar on top could you maybe help the kids get their shoes on?" Give me a break, Jon may look like the victim to the untrained eye, but to other wives you should be able to see his lack of support on a daily basis. I mean there are 8 children and two adults in this household. Kate should not have to hold his hand. He stayed home for 2 years...so what she was on bed rest for 30 weeks plus has been home for 5 years and you don't see her having a pity party! She acts like an adult and has earned the respect of every parent out there! Kate don't ever lose sight of your sacrifices because your husband is having an identity crisis! Frankly if he is going to leave now he would have left regaurdless of the media attention and life changing circumstances. Great husbands don't leave, they don't create scandal of infidelity and they don't need a constent stroking of their egos! Stay strong Kate and ignore the women out there who get on the poor Jon train...They are just looking for a reason to judge you!

I have actually never seen this show but it sounds like Kate is a very controlling wife and mother, which is unhealthy for a constructive relationship.
