This whole situation is sad, but in their own words, a divorce seems imminent. Do you guys still watch their show?
Kate:"I don't know...parents of multiples have, like, triple the divorce rate, and I was thinking we were gonna beat that. I don't know if I can say that anymore. Very swiftly, we turned into two different people, and that's just hard. I've tried for six months to figure out what the problem is, or remedy the problem. It's so complicated. Slowly, I've seen him almost resent the duties [of being a parent]. I know it's a lot to take care of eight kids. I'm traveling a lot, he's frustrated a lot. I think he's angry at me. He doesn't really feel great about me. Have I been hard on him for almost the last 10 years that we've been married? I would never deny that. I've always regretted it. Have I pushed him to this? I don't feel like I have. I feel like everyone is responsible for their own actions.”
Jon: "I think it was good for them [the kids] to see their mom and dad together in one place, even though it's been tough right now. Like I said, we will come together for our kids regardless of our relationship. We have to make a plan and settle jointly what we're going to do. There are good times and bad times and nothing is perfect."

I've never watched it, sad but this makes me wanna check it out..
I'd never watched it before, but after seeing all of the press I was sucked into the marathon leading up to the season premiere over the weekend. It's very sad. They need to go to counseling. It would be awful to split up their family, but there are some very unhealthy relationships going on between the parents. Of course, no husband should ever put himself in a position that would even appear to be inappropriate, but a wife should not treat her husband like he is her ninth child either.
I have always watched the show. Loved it and am sad this is happening..although I am not that surprised because she is a major biatch to him!
what... am i missing?
Love all the comments! I used to watch the show regularly until I started to read all the negative things about Kate. Now I just feel sad for that whole family. The divorce seems imminent...I just hope they can co-parent better once they aren't living together.
