Kate Gosselin is the one that should be given a parent award, not Jon Gosselin, Jon Gosselin for father of the year is unconceivable, not saying he doesnt love his kids but father award, lets see, cheats on wife while wife is working, sneaks around at bars picking up 20 year olds, hooking up with one 20 year old after another, good fathers and husbands dont hang out at bars with younger women while their children are at home with a nanny and the wife is away working, I am so sick of Extra showing Kates faults and pushing jon on us viewers, maybe her badside has been caught on camera, but thats no excuse for a man to show his children that vows mean nothing. He has went about everything the totally wrong way, he may not of got to run around in his 20s because he chose marriage and children, now hes trying to rewind the clock and hook up with one 20 year old after another, he says its not a mid life crisis, boy is he in denial. i do not call his infidelity and sneaking around a good role model or a good father, i really feel Kate is the better parent, she may have been a little bit verbally harsh at times but she was just trying to educate Jon , without her , he would of never been able to handle or learn everything needed to know for a large group of young kids. , I am sick of his whining and running around chasing skirts

I don't think any of them deserves any awards!  They need to take those poor kids off the air because it's the only way they will ever get out of the spotlight.

Wow, this is such a hard topic to sort out.  Am I right?  I mean they are in our home via TLC and talk shows.  But, how many sides of these folk's stories do we really get to see and so on?  I so don't want to judge them as I don't want anyone analyzing my business or personal life either.  Hmmm..., However, I don't put my life out there through a reality show. 

Is their going to be a Warren Commission into what the heck is really going with the death of the Gosselin marriage?

I think they should stay off TV and care for their kids right now. I don't think Kate is an angel and I see that Jon isn't either. But the kids need to come first and having them on TV going through this isn't very wise, in my opinion. I'm not on any team. I know nothing about what REALLY has gone on with them. But I feel sorry for the kids tangled up in all of this in such a public way.

I think most reality shows are stupid. There needs to be better family oriented, and educational shows. Shows you learn from, not how much of a jerk the father is. I personally have not one ounce of respect for that man. I think the camera's went to both there heads. Maybe I'm wrong, I have never been interested in watching the show, and have never seen it, don't care to. Wife Swap, Flavor Flav, Paris Hilton, the dating shows 25 women after one guy crying,  all this is crap on T.V. Most kids probably think this is a normal way of life. Please. That's just my opinion, the children need to be left out. Put useful shows back on T.V. family sitcoms, these folks don't deserve all that money for there bad behavior. I'm sure it could be use in much better ways. I know it could.

Shouldn't their 15 minutes be up by now? I have watched them from time to time and  didn't have a problem with them until all this cheating,divorce, stealing money(why did they still have a joint account anyway?) junk got started.These poor kids. They are the ones going to suffer because of all this. Take care everyone!

For the record, nobody has ever stated that Jon Gosselin cheated on his wife.  She asked for a divorce long before he tried to find someone else to be happy with.  I'm not saying either of them is above the board, because neither is, but lets stick with the facts.

I think that neither party is innocent, but it's how each have decided to treat the situation that really shows how they were raised.

Jon sleeps around, even though the divorce isn't even finalized. He has no issues criticising Kate and TLC, even though both are his sole resource for $$. Worst yet, his ex-girlfriend has now come out to say just how manipulative and verbally abusive he is. When this entire thing happened, Kate was the bad guy for beating up on poor Jon. Now it's the reality - Jon is an immature jerk. Any dad who tells his child "let's be pyros" really isn't a dad-of-the-year in my books.

I love that Jon was so worried about what his kids would read in the tabloids when the divorce thing first happened in May. At the time it sounded like he was going to be the bigger person. Nope. We were wrong.

I do think that they just need to get out of the media and live their lives. Their kids obviously aren't handling this well. How could they? They see their dad on the news every night with a girlfriend or some crazy accusation, and they see their mom on talk shows either taking bitter punches at Jon or showing how well coach she is.

When I first started watching the show I thought Kate treated Jon bad, but I do realize some was probably hipe for ratings. I felt sorry for him though.........but when he started doing the things he was doing in the public eye and humiliating Kate, I lost all respect for him. Then what he did to the one girl, oh my, .....I had heard enough.

I am sick of the whole thing and don't even follow it anymore. I feel for the children, they are too young to understand.

I never saw the show and I am sick to death of hearing about these people. It seems to me BOTH are milking the situation and love the media. I even read that Jon and his young girlfriend faked the abuse allegations for money. Whatever! I think those kids have two wacky parents and I feel terrible for them. The kids, NOT the parents. Both have a lot of issues that should be dealt with far from the TV cameras, IMO.

I think the world has had enough of Jon and Kate. Neither is currently being a very good parent no matter how you look at it. Jon seems like an immature little boy and Kate is making herself out to be Mother Teresa.  If they truly cared about the well being of their children, they'd stay out of the media entirely, no appearances on "The View", no interviews to show up who's the better parent.  It's all for naught because in the long run it's the kids who'll pay the ultimate price. Mom and Dad better wise up and settle down.

I've certainly had enough and I'm tired of hearing the latest news story or latest interview.  Who cares anymore?  I sometimes wish I could force people to stop watching just so they would go off the air completely.  I don't even care anymore about their divorce or any of that, stop trying to sell yourself and pimp your kids for money and focus on the other important things in life.

Jon and Kate - if you read this - take your ugly faces off the air already!!

Kate has her faults but Jon is so childish & hateful. They both need to grow up and learn to put those kids first.
