This is Kate Gossiping from Jon and Kate plus 8. I decided to post a blog on this to discuss what others think about the effect that the media will have on the Gosselin children if any? There have been many interviews, articles, stories and photos all over the media showing Jon and Kate. I have seen, read and heard several. Some of the representations show Jon or Kate speaking disrespectful of each other. In the beginning of this whole ordeal of a separation, there were photos of Jon and another young woman everywhere. In my opinion that portrays a sneaky father that hides with women other than their mommy. The response the media had used to those photos was followed with accusations that Kate had cheated on Jon first. I just think that it is ashame that a show built to represent a large family's daily living and events have to become a "media misfortune" to the public. The children will see these representations of their mother and father, if not yet than sometime in the future. The mother and father are shown blaming each other for the breakup of the relationship. Do these adults know how to take responsibility for their own actions? It does not seem like that to me. Privacy is completely removed from a person once they accept the life of a celebrity, but I think that people disregard what affect it has on others (especially children). The Gosselin children could someday be made fun of by peers in school, sports or other activities. Do you think that any of these things could have a positive or negative effect of these children? Could these things be prevented if it were not for the parents seeking fame, attention or money?
I have posted a few article links that shows Jon and Kates thoughts on their lifestyle adjustments and changes.

I don’t really know a lot about John and Kate plus 8, but I do know in general what has been going on. I definitely think this will affect the children in many more negative ways than positive. The Children are going to grow up hearing about their parents almost act like children themselves, what is that telling the kids about mature relationships? Dysfunctional families in of themselves have a lot of hard times and emotional problems but having that dysfunctional like aspect thrown ALL over mass media…please, it just explains itself that the problems will be worse. The only positive thing that I can kind of pull out is that the children will see the trials their parents went through, see how the media portrayed it and be able to make distinctions of what is fact and was fiction/over exaggerated. They’ll know that the media was wrong to an extent and learn to be more critical of what they hear and to not believe it all. I think people trust in the media way too much, believing like everything they say is FACT. How, my question is, how will people know what is fact and what is not?...
