[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sharing her life and kids so publicly is abusive in itself. Narcissistic. Maybe if she hadn’t done that, and kept herself to herself…[/quote]
And how would she have paid for her kids? [b]Jon never had a real job.[/b] I think she got caught up in the money and probably felt like that was her best option to stay home with her kids.  Can you imagine trying to be a nurse and take care of 8 young kids? [/quote]

Jon had a job. He worked in IT. They met at a company picnic. [/quote]
Jon did not have a job that would provide for a family of ten. He was a giant man child. He went on to be a DJ and acted like a teenager. [/quote]

I don't completely disagree, but he was only a couple years out of high school when he met Kate, then they dated and got married. So, yes, for a short time after they split he did seem to live the single 20s life he never had. Since then he seems to have settled down.[/quote]

He was a parent at that point. Do you have a lot of sympathy for other dads who decide they just want to have fun and relive the single life despite having 8 kids? I’m sure those guys are all over dating apps but I don’t think mature women find them appealing. Do you think Kate deserved a chance to live the single life she never had either? Jon is not a victim here.[/quote]

Read about what happened. He was forced out as he didn't want to be on the show and she did.  He has always worked but she wanted a better lifestyle.  She's the one who didn't work.  At some point he has the right to move on.  [/quote]

What kind of dad would just “move on” from his kids? He’s no hero. He’s been underemployed his entire adult life. Isn’t Kate back to nursing? Not exactly unemployed but she figured it out. Not sure why the quitter parent is getting the hero edit.[/quote]
