I heard on my local radio station here in Harrisburg that the Gosselins are now living in Wernersville. Is this a true statement?

26 acres on Heffner Road. A main house, a three-car garage with nearly 1,000 square foot apt. above it, pool, barn, etc., surrounded by a newly installed security fence. My sympathies to all residents of Berks County! These two con artists and scammers are back!

If you had a unique family and had the opportunity to share your story and get paid doing it, you know you'd do it, so don't knock them for being successful doing what they are doing. Get over it.

Get over it. I have a "unique" family, 2 sons, that my husband and I "work" to support. Two children was all that I felt that I could afford. I also had difficulty becoming pregnant but after my 2 boys were born, I did not rush out to have another six that I knew I could not support, but thats another story. And, no I would not exploit my children and live my life with camera's filming each day. No amount of money is worth the intrusion of people watching your everyday life. In the beginning of the Gosselin's TV show, I did watch. I never made it through the first season because because I couldn't take Kate. Once in awhile I may catch a few minutes of the show while scanning through the channels. After a few minutes I can see that she hasn't changed so I turn the channel. I must admit that I did watch tonight's show to see the new house. Again, Kate has not changed and if anything is worse than ever. How anyone can watch the show or buy her books is beyond me. How churches can book these people for speaking engagements is a puzzlement. Do these churches actually watch the show and are pleased with Kate's neurotic behavior towards Jon and the kids? Does it not bother the churches that book Jon and Kate that they have nothing to do with their own parents or extended families? Where are these churches family values? Does anyone wonder how one show about a family with twins that then had sextuplets, became such a goldmine for the parents? They do not work, are often away from the kids and seem to live a lavish lifestyle just because they had 6 babies? Since the first show they have consistantly moved from a smaller house to a larger house to now what I consider a mansion. I'm sure that there are other parents of multiple out there that are each working outside the home while raising the kids and not putting them on view each week that could use more help then the Gosselins. I have simply decided not to watch the show ever again and to email TLC and each sponser of the show to let them know why.

I completely agree with you she should not act so ungrateful and as if she worked her ass off to get to this point,I feel bad for the kids,and Jon.I think she is so selfish and she acts as though she is just so great.The show should be tooken of the air,if it were not for those children they would not be at this point.They don't deserve that huge house,they did not work for it like every other decent human being!

At least Jon seems somewhat grateful.what the hell else would she do and him for that fact if the show was tooken off the air?They don't deserve all this free stuff for just having 8 kids it was there choice to do so.What about over half of America struggling to feed and house there families right now,Im sure most of them work there butts of!

Wow, you guys are pretty judgemental. Kate is a nurse and John was an IT specialist. They found a way to support their kids and provide for them. Yes, I had the same infertility problems as Kate. I was fortunate to have two children (I lost one). They did not ask for 8, but they've made their peace with God and found a way to provide. Sheesh. Maybe their families chose NOT to be on TV, and that's why viewers don't see them. Please, just don't watch the show if it makes you so angry.

I have mixed emotions on the show. I started watching from the begining...and still do. However Kate is starting to bother me too. I think it is great that they are able to do the things that they do, but she doesn't seem truely greatful. Jon does. But maybe that is just the way she comes across on T.V. I do like watching to see how they handle the everyday stuff with the 6 pack, but I really wish Kate were more down to earth and less edgy at times. I have kids and I know how crabby they can make you, but I also know what wonderful gifts they are to us and try to take every moment for what it is---a moment that I'll never get back. I still plan to watch the show...with the hope that Kate gets easier to watch.

This family is just freaky-- I guess though that Kate's been outdone by the woman who gave birth to octuplets.... so much for the gravy train!

That's 14 children! Oh dear......Ingrate Kate has a rival. Good luck to the CA family. Hope they manage to keep their lives private and not exploit their family.

Get over it. Would most people exploit their kids for the almighty dollar? I think not! If you can justify what these two idiots are doing to their kids then you should look hard at your own morals and values. They already "shared their story" and got paid for it doing the first TLC special. This show is beyond that. It's not about sharing their story anymore. It's about "marketing their kids" (Jon's own words) to make money so their lazy parents don't have to work. Those kids work more than many adults with a full-time job do. And they have no protection from their dumbass parents who allow their most private moments, bowel movements, tantrums, etc. to get broadcast on national TV. If you see nothing wrong with that then you are not fit to be a parent yourself.

I think that I agree with the person who said if we had the chance to be able to do things like the Gosselins, we would, for the fact of being able to put our children through college, it being so expensive now and not going to get any cheaper..I watched the show the other night, and I was just a little concerned that Kate need to be humble for all she has...When she was standing at the kitchen sink cleaning and she looked out her window and said" This is all mine" it kind of made me sad for her because I think she needs to step back and regroup and I know she would feel bad if she realized that that's how she sounded...Also, what makes the Gosselins any different than the Duggar family who are up to 18 children now and the family on Little people, Big world...Look at their gorgeous new homes and their lifestyle and their traveling...It really is no different than the Gosselin family...So I guess the bottom line is, if it bothers people watching, don't watch or talk about it....

They definitely exploit there children for the almighty buck. It really can not be that difficult raising those kids when there are two parents around to do it at all times. they have people to do their laundry, clean their house etc so why is Kate so "exhausted" all the time. they have the life. How could they go from a $250,000.00 home to a 1.2 million dollar home in 2 years without working. Because they exploit their children all in the name of making their lives better.PLEASE!!! Everything they do is for themselves. When Kate found out that her sister in law was going to start getting paid for her appearances on the show she booted her off. She said and I quote "nobody is going to make money off of my family but me". no more Jody. Also, what happened to her best friend Beth. The same thing?? This women is a disgrace to all women. I also haven't watched the show in a very long time because she nauseates me but I did tune in to see the house. Kates comment when she looking out the window "mine all mine". and what was she thinking "thanks to all the idiots that watch me"

A comment for Linda. You are right..college is expensive, but Jon and Kate don't have to worry about that. The wonderful people of Pennsylvania will be paying for that too. When the kids were born the idiot govenor at the time set up a college fund for all of them so they can go to a PA state school on the residents of the states money. Thats why I laugh when I hear Kate talk about college. I wish someone would pay my tuiton bill. I have 3 children in college right now and nobody is helping me.

Kate is a nasty women who thinks she is better then everyone else. I watched her show to see this house that they bought and could not believe the comments she was making. When she was cleaning the house and refrigerator she kept commenting on how it was the most disgusting thing she has ever seen. How does she think that made the people who moved out feel. I'm sure they are very embarrassed about her comments. She is a rude, ignorant, obnoxious women. Hopefully when her kids go to school it will be over for her. She has no friends or family. Beth is gone and so is Jodi. Two women who have class unlike Kate.

The $1.2 million estate the Gosselin's "acquired" (don't really know if they bought it or TLC bought it for their use for the duration of the show) was purchased from Dr. Dominic Cammarano, an ob/gyn who practices at Reading Hospital. In addition to getting her nursing diploma from Reading Hospital, Kate was a nurse in labor and delivery there. She must have known Dr. Cammarano when she worked there. I'm sure the refrigerator cleaning was staged so Kate could showcase what a "saint" she truly is. Maybe the fridge needed a wipe down with some bleach and hot water, but that's about it. What a tacky bitch. How does she live with herself knowing Dr. Cammarano and making him and his family out to be pigs? She's a cow.

With the birth of the octuplets +6 at least Kate can no longer play the pity card,"...I've got 8 kids....count'em, 8 kids". Sorry Kate. Your days on the D-list are dwindling. Time to stay at home and be a mother.
