Jon and Kate Divorce – What the Future May Hold
As announced on their June 22, 2009 show, a Jon and Kate divorce is imminent – the Gosselins are separating. Legal proceedings have already been started. Media speculation had it that Jon and Kate Gosselin of the TLC reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8 were both involved in discreet affairs. Whether you watch their TV show or not, you might just feel for their situation. Divorce is never fun.
Here’s what the future could hold if a Jon and Kate divorce manifests.
First off, Jon and Kate, divorce means you’ll be alone part of the time. Know that it’s possible for a single parent to enjoy a full life, despite an empty house
After divorcing, you might want coparenting advice on how to deal with an ex.
I’m guessing you’d like a child custody schedule that works. I can vouch for mine. Of course, holiday custody schedules are a different matter, entirely. According to the June 22 episode, Kate wants to be with her kids at every holiday gathering.
When Jon and Kate divorce, they might find there’s a “fun” parent and a responsible one. Not fun to deal with, but par for the course.
Birthday traditions for children of divorced parents are a challenge, but I’m sure the Gosselin’s will think of something. Perhaps they’ll continue to involve TLC reality TV.
After Jon and Kate divorce, they might find that single mom and dad dating is a challenge. A lot of single parents are missing out on intimacy, a sad artifact of going it solo.
They might ask themselves how is Facebook used by single parents. Know that the Single Parents Connection group offers support, with a single mom and dad blogroll, and a discussion board for non-bloggers to connect and relate. Even celebrities need a support group.
The Gosselin’s would do well to check out these great books for relationship and divorce advice.
Just know that once you’re separated, even if the other spouse has custody for a night, you might experience you-know-what-us interrupt-us if you’re trying to enjoy a booty call, and a kid visits unexpectedly.
In short, Jon and Kate, know that divorce is a different life. Don’t take it lightly.

Never fun. A different life for sure. When I hit the empty nest stage it really hit me. Things would never have lasted this long between my ex and me, but this part of life would have been nice to share with a man who has a history with my kids and me.

I don’t watch the show and in fact have said, “Who the hell are Jon and Kate?” I guess since the TV is rarely on at our house…
This is sound advice David. I think to many people, the grass seems greener somewhere else.
And to think it is difficult enough to meet someone as a single parent of 2!
Whew!

My divorce was fun. I am veri veri happily divorced. :)
However, you are correct. Some of the resulting crap that surrounds a divorce is not fun. Especially when young children are involved. So this is good advice.
My opinion on John and Kate? They are a couple of dumbfucks. I’m feeling for the kids.

They could never have a normal divorce.
Can you imagine what it would take to switch custody?
Hmmmm…they should each get another place to live…and take turns moving in and out of the home the kids live in…
a whole new TV show in the making.

While you offer sage advice can we please stop talking J&K? I am so sick to death of them (and I’ve seen their show maybe four times?) It seems to be all anyone is talking about. Personally, divorce or don’t I could really care less about them.
Comment by Honey

I think they are kind of sickening and are getting what they deserve (though the kids are another matter). IVF should be illegal and Jon & Kate have been EXPLOITING their kids for years. They are no different from Octomom.

You know, I have actually never watched the show. But I see their mug in the grocery checkout line every day, on the cover of People, National Enquirer, etc. (Random thought: why don’t they stock quality books in the impulse-buy part of the grocery store line?)
Can you imagine if there’s a Jon and Kate Divorce reality show? Riveting drama (not!)
QTMama – just doing my part to help Jon and Kate out!
Comment by MindyMom
| May 28th, 2009
LOL, I had the same thought as QTMama!
I also don’t watch the show but agree those two have NO IDEA what they are getting into with a divorce. In their case, I don’t see how the grass could be greener not married to each other. Among other things, parenting time would be a nightmare.
I think Teri said it best, “They are a couple of dumbfucks. I’m feeling for the kids.”

I do watch the show sometimes, and the premiere was very, very uncomfortable to watch. Whatever appeal the show had, its gone now that the focus is on their floundering marriage. I just feel bad for them all.
Comment by Amy
| May 28th, 2009
Considering their lives and the unbelievable pressures and temptations of “instant fame” the split seems almost inevitable. I can’t help but think that having an empty house part of the time would be a draw, rather than a drawback.

I actually think that there needs to be a reality show focusing on single/divorced parents in midlife–one of the things that has bugged me most since my marriage ended is the relentless portrayal of shiny, happy intact families as if that really were the majority. When we know it is not.
I was interested, at first, in “Must Love Kids” (and in fact watched one of the episodes with my son–it was a way to indirectly introduce the possibility of Mom dating), but the women were all fairly young (and a lot of the suitors were older). I didn’t really believe that these women NEEDED any matchmaking services from television producers. Also, there was the whole controversy about their dates meeting their kids on round two or three.
So far, the only other thing I’ve seen is that cellular commercial where the three daughters are texting their friends about their dad’s online dating (I have to say that lifted my spirits).

I’ve not seen the show either.
Someone here should sign up to be the HoT single parent of reality tv. Not me, I don’t even blog. I can’t fathom having video cameras beside the boy’s flip (hey, where’s the link to that post Dad’s, they will need one of these!?)in the house.
Brilliant idea to have quality reading at the checkout, but then everyone would keep letting the people behind them take cuts in line so they can finish perusing them. Okay, not eveyone would do this. I have to admit that I mostly enjoy catching up on celeb eye candy while I stand in line at the grocery. A woman’s got to get her Clooney lust and Matthew hot ab shot fix sometime, eh?

Bah, I don’t watch tv, haven’t for years, but I really don’t care. While your advice is good, it doesn’t really apply to celebrities, I don’t think. There will be drama and problems, of course, but I highly doubt either of them are going to suffer from single-parent loneliness. I mean, if in fact both of them are already sleeping around, obviously they are not going to have a hard time finding a date, and I would be willing to bet that no matter who has custody or how much, both will hire someone else to raise their kids.

I cannot pass judgment on anything as I obviously do not know them and anything about what their life must be like. I just feel badly for the children as in any divorce as they are the ones who will truly suffer. One cannot know for sure if the show had anything to do with the decline but it does make you wonder.

I never even heard of them, but now no one will shut up about them.
As for their “discreet affairs” … uh, they’re on reality TV for goodness sake! I certainly wouldn’t want to be either of their “love thangs” right now!, or any of their future dates …

I think if they get divorced, Jon will be much happier. He looks miserable on the show. And I have to say.. Kate will probably run most men off. Just my thoughts.

The problems that they are facing right now in their marriage are very SMALL compared to what they will be facing in a divorced situation! We raised a blended family of 8….WORK IT OUT! You can’t even imagine what you will put those innocent children through! Every marriage goes through very tough times…we’re just not in the spotlight! It is never just one person. Time for the TV show to end and let this family heal!
Comment by Deanne
| June 8th, 2009
It is true that the J&K topic dominates everywhere and everything. Divorce is tough no matter what when it involves kids. I am happily married but my brother has been divorced twice and has one kid from each marriage. The kids live in one state far away from their dad, my brother and it is evident on how they have turned out how not having a dad available and close by has affected them. My husband has two brothers who have been divorced w/kids and it just sucks. Everyone loses.
Comment by Deanne
| June 8th, 2009
I really feel that if all of us really want the J&K thing to dissipate and fade away, then we all need to NOT buy the magazines, tabloids, etc., and NOT tune into their show. If enough of us write TLC and hound them to take the show off, it is possible to have impact. I do believe that. I have two dear friends who have one child each. They both are trying to get things set up financially for themselves to get the wheels rolling for divorces from their respective spouses. It is never easy, no matter how amicable everyone appears to be in these situations. The kid(s) ALWAYS lose more than the adults involved. No one can argue that…
Comment by Carol

I was involved with the Gosselin’s after the birth of their sextuplets. I am sure Jon will be the one to work very hard when it comes to taking care of the needs of their children. He has a great personality. All this gossip is so needless. We all need to support Jon and Kate no matter who cheated on who. Eight children can be a challenge. It seems the parents put the children first and forgot who they married. This will all work out for the best for everyone involved.

I divorced the love of my life, for an alcoholic. Fifteen years, one son and swat team on mothers day later, I was getting divorced again. I believe the stress of the 2nd marriage destroyed my DNA, I was beaten down, and developed early onset of Parkinson’s. I still love my first husband and always will, sometimes we make stupid choices.
Comment by Sarah
| June 10th, 2009
Don’t watch the show..Don’t buy the books and without all that money that “spoiled Kate” throws around will dry up and there may be a chance for the marriage to heal.
Jon wanted to stop the show and raise their family like a normal family. Miss Money hungry refused to honor her husband like God’s word says and look what has happened..
It is sad for the children but if this kind of money keeps flowing, we will see a very spoiled, selfish group of Jon, Kate AND the 8.
Maddie already shows it. I stopped watcing the show. too “Hollywood-ish” now.

I love to watch Jon and Kate plus 8. I would hate to see them split up. This is bullshit that people are causing all of this crap to split up a family with 8 small children!! What has this world come to??? It is f***ing amazing how far people will go just to make a dollar off of someone elses agony. All of these people are telling you how hard a divorce is and all these people can talk about is who is going to get the children on what days…. That shouldnt be the issue if anything, people should leave them alone for a while and let them figure out what they need to do on their own before it causes those children pain for the rest of their lives!.!.!
Comment by Chris

First off, from what I have seen/read, it would be in Jon’s best interest to get a divorce from Kate’s self-absorbed turn wannabe Hollywood celebrity. You’ll notice that Jon doesn’t like the spotlight and she’s ALL about it. I’ve seen all the way back from the first season, and they were happy. You’ll notice as the season’s go on, Kate get’s a power trip and acts like she’s the law. Poor Jon. And might I add a nice little “GOOD JOB KATE!” Way to jack up what was once a family everyone admired.
Now they are going to have to battle the challenges of being the single parent and the kids are going to have to deal with having a STEP parent around. All because of this dumb show…
Comment by jackie
| June 16th, 2009
The name of this show should be changed from
“Jon and Kate Plus Eight”
to
“Jon Plus Eight Minus Kate”
Kate is verbally abusive.
Jon seems like a nice guy….why would any man stay married to a woman who speaks to him like that?
The kids are really cute………..but Mady obviously needs professional help.
Comment by Michael
| June 16th, 2009
Jon and Kate knew exactly what they were doing when they began this ridiculous charade.
They had to think of something that would keep viewers tuning in, season after season, after season.
There’s only so much milage any television show can expect to get out of “potty training, peeing and pooping”.
Even though the little kids are adorable, how many times can
they expect viewers to tune in……just to listen to
Alexis say “I have to go pee” again and again and again???
Jon and Kate have become superb “reality show” actors!
Their true-to-life reality show has become the biggest hit on TV, thanks to all the drama about their “marital problems” and “impending divorce”.
They’re laughing all the way to the bank.

KATE The control freek. I do feel sorry for John, but after having been put down so many times on TV- who could blame him. Sorry for the kids, but Kate – well its her turn to be smacked down. I think if John had the kids whey would be better off.
Comment by Liz

I’m the Mom of one 19 year old. His Dad and I divorced several years ago, and it’s STILL difficult at times. I can’t imagine what divorce would be like for a family this size. I think they need to go to LOTS of parenting classes. The children should not be uprooted; Jon and Kate should have to move in and out of the house to care for them. There’s no doubt a difficult decade awaits them. And probably therapy for the poor kids.
Comment by Denise
| June 20th, 2009
I love to watch the show but since the start I have noticed the indifference in both of them towards each other. They have concentrated all their energy and attention on the children and forgotten to be lovers to each other. Marriage is hard plus add 8 children, oh boy! trouble. The energy it takes to keep 8 personalities happy is overwhelming. I wish them luck in the future, hope they can resolve their issues for their family. It would speak volumes to their children and the world if they could work this out and stay together and renew their love for each other. It’s going to take work but any new relationship will require the same or more work because of the dynamics of their situation.
Comment by June
| June 21st, 2009
I agree with Denise. If they can’t learn how to compromise then they will have the same issues in their next relationship. These two are spoiled brats. All they care about our themselves. The poor kids are probably going to grow up to hate these people that call themselves parents. They should have never been allowed to procreate.

Erica, I agree with your comment. I can’t believe how many people would like to see J&K split, I would like them to be able to work on their marriage and stay together, but unfortunately during tonight’s episode it is confirmed they are divorcing. I find this very sad indeed.
Comment by Terri Barrett-Turner
| June 22nd, 2009
I am so sorry that Jon and Kate can not work things out. I know we all act in a way contrary to our own behavior, but there is still time to take this matter and work things out. It is sad that an indiscrition happened and was caught on film not to mention the family turncoats with their opinion. Please try to work things out. It is so important to you both and your children. Where there is forgiveness, there is love.

Great post Dadshouse. Useful to not only Jon and Kate Gosselin but any couple with children going through a divorce.
I find it strange that we are living in a time where we can watch someone’s marriage fall apart on television.
My heart goes out to both of them and there children and hopefully anyone who watches the show will learn valuable lessons from Jon and Kate’s experience.
Comment by Summer

~Honey..
IVF should be illegal? Okay first off John and Kate did not get pregnant via IVF, they got pregnant with an advanced for of artificial insemination. Second off very rarely does IVF result in a litter of children. nadya Suleman is the exception not the rule. Verty rarely are more than 1 or two eggs implanted (at most three). And even nadya had three failed cycles before her latest batch of children. You know you are absolutely right… those of us with fertility issues.. it should be illegal for us to have kids. And don’t start spouting adoption to me. I spent $40,000.00 last year to adopt a baby. I was there when he was born. I brought him home form the hospital. And then Social services talk the birth mom into taking her baby back. They promised her a house and drug rehab and a car if she gave the baby to a distant relative.So until you have to face the choice of no kids or bonding to a child you could lose at any moment. Keep your trap shut and enjoy the natural born children God has obviously blessed you with. Do your research before you make snap judgments.
Comment by Summer
| June 23rd, 2009
I agree with most of the comments here. It is heart breaking to see what has happened in their marriage over the last four years. I will not judge them or make my own opinions about there situation public. I will say I am dissapointed that with so much at stake they have not tried harder. There are so many option s they have yet to explore. My heart goes out to each of them and their children and I certainly hope they re-evaluate their situation and chose to handle things differently than they currently are. On the flip side I think it is an excellent idea to keep the cildren in the home and have the parents do the moving in and out.

I say send Dr. Phil into that house for some “tough love” and counseling. It seems to me a marriage that through a love that they once had made 8 beautiful children certainly deserves a second chance. Marriage is work. I am certain they have been concentrating on the day-to-day needs of their “eight” children that they have not had time to work on their relationship.
Don’t make a haste decision Jon and Kate. Seek counseling, pray, and WORK to keep your marriage intact.

Ladyvolfan – pray vs. prey, love the wry insight! I don’t know how hard they’ve tried to save their marriage. I simply wonder if two years from now they’ll look back and wish they were all still together. I always suggest to people contemplating divorce that, unless there is some sort of abuse going on (substance, physical, psychological), they might just try to stay married. Whether you get divorced or stay together, you’ll have to work on yourself, or you’ll attract similar problems in your next relationship.
Comment by Mike

Wow, J&K – what a couple of spoiled brats. Whowuddathunk it would end this way?? 8 kids would test anybody, let alone these two dimwits. Marriage in today’s societal norms is a crapshoot. I think I’ve found in my experience that the best chance for a good marriage to thrive is for one of the mates to be a homemaker – looking after the children, the home and anticipating the stress and needs of the bread winner, who works hard to make a good life for the family, makes the decisions that the family will follow and constantly asks the inner self “Am I somebody my children will be proud of?” Now I didn’t say which role was for the man or woman – but SOMEBODY has to stop chasing the $$ and start chasing the soccer ball with the kids. If there was ONE thing I would insist upon, was a sit down dinner with the family routinely with maybe only one or two nights (in the 7 day week) of fast food and at least two ‘date nights’ a month with the spouse and NO KIDS. Having time to talk, with an without the kids is the GLUE for a successful marriage.
Comment by Beth Kirkpatrick

I watch the show and really have enjoyed the family. It is simply another guy that really does not want to head up the family and do whatever it takes to raise great kids and be a loving father and husband. He now feels like life is more exciting when he can drive his sports car and hang out with 23 year old women. It is just another example of a guy ignoring his family responsibilities and searching for the next hot chick to make him feel young. His life will be a constant start up and drop relationship hunting. He will drop in when it is convenient and leave the real parenting to Kate. This is just another man leaving the woman alone to raise the kids. Grow up and find interests that are in line with 32 year old family men. It is hard to find honorable family guys. Where have all the good men gone?’Beth

It is such a shame that everything boils down to a dollar. Ms. Kate who obviously grew up with nothing became so money hungry that it has destroyed her marriage and will forever leave scars on her children. I don’t condon aldultry but I really don’t see how Jon has lasted this long with her. I go back to the episode in the toy store at Christmas and how she totaly emasculated jon. I felt so sorry for him. No one likes to be called down like that in public. She is constantly putting him down. I really don’t know how he even has any self worth. I wonder how they are going to pay for that 1.3 million dollar house if TLC pulls the plug on this poor excuse of a reality show. Kate had better try to make a mends with Jon because not very many men would put up with her crap let alone her meltdowns and Maddy is following right in her foot steps. She is a Kate mini me. I am sorry for everyone involved in the show. I say call the tv show quits and save the marriage

I think it is strange how all 8 kids look like the Dad, a constant reminder of Jon. Why don’t any of them look like Kate?
They are all cute but it’s just weird that’s all. He must have the dominant gene. Too bad he was a cheat and a jerk. He now has a NEW girlfriend, the daughter of some designer. She’s like almost half his age. The guy’s a pig and doesn’t care about his kids. I don’t buy the, well, it’s Kate’s fault he stepped out on her. Bull! No excuse. Work it out. There are 8 children involved here!

Maybe if Jon and Kate would’ve spent the time talking to the cameras about their marriage and used it working on their family, they wouldn’t be divorcing.
Comment by Matt

It’s good the children will stay in their home. I bet anything Kate insists on this so she doesn’t have to pack and unpack 8 kids regularly. If you look at her decisions, they are all made to benefit HER. The trips to the spa, salon, San Diego, etc, in no way benefit the kids. They are for HER.

jon and kate blew it exploited the kids jon is a big baby and has been living as a single dad for some time look at his car and bike realistic for a dad huh don’t watch it much but did tune it in to see what everyone was talking about poor kids it will be hard on them i’m divorced remarried and my adult children still tell me at times how hard it was on them and how it has affected their adults lifes. sad that some of us can’t see the furture ahead of time. the grass may seem greener but sometimes reality is it’s just about the same
Comment by Carrin

My Dad was a sorry excuse of a Dad and husband. There were six of us kids, and he felt he simply could not stay with us. Our mom was certifiably nuts. She couldn’t clean house, couldn’t cook, didn’t know a thing about taking care of her children. But Dad couldn’t take it.
He abandoned us. He divorced her. He married a woman barely older than our oldest sister.
He left us with her. HE COULDN’T TAKE IT, BUT HE LEFT US WITH HER. Our life was full of fear, hunger, sadness, and as we got older, we resented him for leaving us with her.
I am so disappointed with Jon for not removing those kids from Kate’s evil, cruel, nasty, conniving ways.

I am a 55 year old divorced woman, I had 4 children with my highschool sweetheart. He turned out to be a real asshole, even with 4 different aged children I did every thing but bring home the money. He hid his money for 25 years,now my daughters do not speak to ME or let me see my four grandchildren. Divorce is very damaging to a family. My two sons will not have anything to do with their older sisters because the way they have chosen sides. When they were little he didn’t do anything but yell, Wanted perfection. As far as Kate and Jon, she is bossy, he was only going to take so much.
Feel bad for the kids. My advice is that they never say a bad thing about the other parent to the children.
Comment by Robin
| August 21st, 2009
I have been watching the show since the beginning and I think it is very sad to see a family that has gone through so much together, fall apart. I think Jon is an ass and he needs to grow up. It is almost as though Kate had 9 children. He was not comfortable with public affection from Kate, but now the story is what a bitch she was. Kate has been the same from the beginning, she has not changed, but he certainly has, and I wonder if the kids were ever as much his priority as they have always been hers…

Comment by Jessica

Basically refering to the situation, that John and Kate are facing. I feel, I can relate to it in someways because, I to, came from a big family, and my mom had 9 kids, and her and my dad went through a Bad Divorce.So, my mom would take care of us 9 kids, when my dad was living life, and it was hard, I can tell you I still don’t know how she did it.But what I do know is dispite, you have a problems with your partner, and you got kids involed, you should take care of the children as a team then, deal with whatever comes after.Because when you think about it, all this fighting between both parents, will effect the children, which in John and kate case, their children are very young. So I think, in a situation like this, both John and Kate should act like Adults, and press pause on the reality show for awhile and discusses everthing over, because in the end their only hurting their children, and themselves, by bringing themselves farther apart, instead of lookinh closly at the situation.

Jon should ask Hailey Glassman for some of his money back ….he needs it to pay Kate the $180,000.
