Jon & Kate: Tea party time
On this episode, Kate G. takes the little girls to a tea room, with a pink teapot.
The older girls stay with Jon, who buys them earrings. And himself some.
John: "Daddy and daughter matching earrings. That's so '80s."
The little girls all choose the pink tea and put a big sugar cube in their cups.
Kate S.: "The poor producer who has to ask them what kind of tea they drank."
John: "He's thinking, 'I was going to do "60 Minutes"!'
Kate G. talks about how nervous she was trusting the girls with all that glass.
John: "Sam would've broken something in the first five minutes."
Now they are making bracelets at a craft store. And John is nudging Kate S. awake because she's falling asleep on the couch...
Meanwhile, Jon and Cara and Mady make a bonfire from tabloids.
Kate S.: "How cute. Is this over yet?"
Ice cream for the little girls. The big girls make Father's Day cards. As the credits roll, Kate G. starts belatedly talking about the importance of individual trips.

Guess I didn't miss anything, did I?
TLC had old footage they needed to use up before the seasons changed, I guess. How many more shows do you think before they put this narcissistic nightmare out of its misery? I'll give them 3 more before they cancel forever.

Why can't Kate or Jon take the kids somewhere for volunteer work or service work (age appropriate)? They could still be together as a family but don't need to get all of the "fun trips, etc", but together time. What's wrong with that? Do they always have to do something fun or travel? Wake up TLC.

The haters have learned to spell narcissistic and it's become their new favorite word!

Please put us out of our misery already. Those poor girls and boys! My daughter still enjoys watching this. (I moan every time she turns it on) But why wouldn't she I guess, seeing those kids getting to do all those cool things. Spoiled kids doesn't equal happy kids.
Last night we watched them plant seeds..wow!
And daddy bought them earrings? Maddy said I don't know why. Umm so you would love him. Yeah, Jon through money and gifts at them... that'll work !

Kate actually said, " How cute.Is this over yet?" That says it all. Obviously, spending fun time with her kids is all for the benefit of the cameras and is something she would rather not be bothered with. I would guess that when the cameras aren't rolling Kate spends NO time with her children, irregardless of the impression she wants us to have that she is heartbroken when she is not with them. I think she looks forward to all of the travel and media attention she gets when she is promoting any and everything in order to "provide for my kids." She is money hungry and it will never be enough. She will constantly be selling herself and her kids. It will be interesting to see how the kids are when they are a little older. I would bet that Mady and Cara (especially Mady, who is definitely her mother's daughter!)will feel tremendous resentment when they get a little older and realize that their family's entire life was splashed all over the media while they were growing up. And funny as it sounds right now, I think they will end up liking their father more than their mother when all of the dust settles. Jon is an immature fool, but is not the bossy, control freak that Kate is.
Just to be clear, the Kate who made that remark about "is this over yet" was me, Kate Shatzkin, not Kate Gosselin on the show. (I'm afraid I was pretty bored watching the family have another faux interaction.) The quotes are from John (my husband) and me as we watch J&K.
