Kate Gosselin & Dirty Kids

by Tracee Sioux on July 10th, 2008

Dear Kate Gosselin,

I’m a huge fan (I watch for you, not for the kids) and I think you really should be Time’s Person of the Year, as I suggested and you should win an Emmy because you’re have about the only show on TV I can still watch with my kids.

After the most recent cupcake episode where you very tensely said you didn’t want the kids to put the frosting on so they wouldn’t get dirty . . . well, I want to offer you a little advice about dirty kids. Not because I think you should be perfect - I prefer flawed people - but because you’ll enjoy motherhood more and for sure the kids will enjoy childhood more.

THIS is what a dirty kid looks like.

Now in the face of this you have two choices. One is to discipline them good so they never even think about getting dirty again, and the other is to laugh and throw some mud back at them.

Now, being realistic about your obvious anxiety and discomfort in the face of disorganization, messes, and dirt, I realize a mud fight with the twins and sextuplets is probably out of the question.

However, the beauty of children is that they - and their clothes - are WASHABLE.

This is my friend OxyClean. I regularly have a child’s clothing soaking in it for a week. I’m a much lazier housekeeper than you, I don’t stain treat and I don’t scrub, if a week in OxyClean doesn’t do the trick, then I’m not above throwing it out. But, it’s good stuff - Ainsley was wearing her favorite white outfit during our spontaneous mudfight and it came clean.

There’s no way on God’s Green Earth that I would want to do laundry for 10 people, and you obviously deserve the Good Housekeeping Award for keeping a house of 10 people presentable enough to be on TV every day.

But, dirty and messy kids really isn’t the end of the world.

It can be pretty fun.

    I would LOVE to see Kate put the kids into some old clothes and turn them loose in a mud puddle! The laundry wouldn’t be that bad because those clothes would be only for messy play, so no need to worry about stains. If only Jon and Kate would get into some old duds themselves and go join them. What a show! I’d love it! TLC, are you reading this???

    I have seen on the show many times when Kate gets upset over them getting dirty. The ice cream incident (taking the ice cream off the kids) because it was melting on their clothes, that was cruel l, and the time they were doing pumpkins, she had to clean up right in the middle of it. You know kids at school can not help being messy, I know I helped out when my kids and grandkids went to school. I hope Kate can stand the messy projects kids do at school, I have seen kids with paste in their hair and even when they paint it gets on their clothes. Will she go to school and tell them to keep her kid!s clean. So Kate lighten up and let your little ones experience the joy of being dirty and happy. The kid!s are so cute.

    Great comments Tracee and Margaret! I would love to see the kids in a mud fight with Jon and Kate on the show. It would be hiarious! My thought is that Jon would probably do something like that, but I think it just goes against the grain for Kate. Hopefully she’ll learn to lighten up a bit, but I still think that for the most part she’s a great mom. We all do have our flaws, and I really think her kids will manage to enjoy life even with mom being so hung up on cleanliness and organization.

    Still, the mudfight would be a lot of fun….!!!

    Great post. I too wish she could enjoy the thought of her kids getting a little dirty - and it’s because I think it would be freeing herself, not because I think she’s horrible.

    I feel that getting dirty and rowdy outside is an integral part of a healthy childhood. I grew up playing outside nearly every single day and I still love the feeling of getting really dirty and sweaty gardening or something and then coming in and taking a hot shower. It’s a process. It’s a healthy process.

    I love the dirty picture of Zach. When we first moved into our hourse there was a gigantic mudd puddle that would form under one of the drains. The day after a big rain I walked around the corner to find my (then) 18 month old sitting waist deep in it and having the best time. (In good clothes!! Ah!) But it was too funny. We took picures also.

    My kid looks like that nearly every day.

    I’ve taken to letting him run around the yard naked to save on laundry and potty train.

    Two birds with one stone baby!

    first let me say that i was born into a family of eight and i am third to the youngest,(i’m 42 now) my dad and mom did all of the work themselves and back then you did’nt have all the fancy dancy items you have now to help, BUT we are also two years apart unlike Kate’s and John’s children being all the same age except for the twins of course, i am here to take up for Kate, I find her to be a blessing and inspiration to alot of mothers that think they will loose their minds with one child let alone eight, hats off to you Mrs.& Mr. Gosselins… I love the show and I think what they have done thus far with the kids is awesome and great, I wish I could meet them, they give me and insight to what my mom went through on a daily basis. what a production it is just to go to the store, and I dont blame them for doing a show if it helps with all their living expensives, can you imaging how much it cost to be able to give these wonderful kids what they need? well can you? the only advice I would give to Kate is let John have a little more time talking in front of the camera, she does seem to want to talk over him and all, but I just love her she is a great mother and a loving wife that just wants the best for her family, I am sure she has other faults like we all do but for the most part I think God is very proud of her as well as he is of John,
    I hope they keep the show going and my biggest dream would be to have her e-mail me, so if you are out there reading this Kate please drop me a line sometime! your awesome oh and i love love the new do!!
    your biggest fan

  • Ava
    Jul 10, 2008 at 10:00 am

    I do think Kate needs to lighten up a little when it comes to the kids getting dirty, but a mud puddle? Whoa, I think that would be way over the top for Kate…think baby steps! Like, maybe no bibs for starters! LOL

    Tracee-I have to admit my kids have never been that dirty! LOL. But, I still let them be kids!

    Kate needs to loosen up. Get them some old clothes and have them go nuts. This silliness about getting clothes dirty is STUPID. I am an adult and my clothes get stained. That is what Shout is for. Kate should buy some. She is more worried about buying beds, Tummy tucks, and Hair transplants than her sick kids. Well it was only Collin, not the girls, so she thought it was o.k. to leave him constipated. I would have left the darn store. The children would have felt that they come first not overly expensive beds. Get your priorities straight Kate.

    Jul 10, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    Cute, cute pictures!

    I rewatched the cupcake episode again last evening . . . with my husband who was outraged. I found myself feeling sympathy for Kate. She was miserable, obviously. Jon seemed miserable, too. In my opinion, they took it out on the kids (the boys).

    I think they’re overwhelmed with this whole gig. It probably seemed like a godsend at first, but fame has its price. Now it’s time to pay the piper.

    I hope they keep their marriage intact regardless of whether or not they continue the show.

    One more thought; it occurred to me that some of Kate’s actions are contrived specifically for publicity for the show. My husband actually suggested it because he believes no one would act like that on national television. Or, maybe they’re just both tired and weary of doing the show . . .

  • Linda T
    Jul 10, 2008 at 2:50 pm

    So, Lauren, you think she may have acted like that for ratings? I guess it’s possible because there are a lot of people talking about it. Not just on this blog.

    I hope they keep their marriage going as well. Those kids are going to have a tough enough time being in the spotlight without having to deal with Mom and Dad splitting up.

  • Ava
    Jul 10, 2008 at 5:24 pm

    Lauren, I have wondered that too…at the same time I think Kate has an over-exaggerated personality with certain things. I know some people like that…more of the attention seekers.

  • Judy
    Jul 11, 2008 at 5:26 am

    wow I can’t believe the anger with Kate on here, she is young and she has alot on her plate, could you raise 8 children? before throwing out insults put yourself in their shoes, can you just imagine the chaos that goes on all day long? I know from experience that every day when my dad came home from work he would have to sit through eight stories of how this one did this and this one broke this and this one hit this one, it’s hard work folks and it does’nt get that much easier, I praise this young couple for all of their hard work and all of the love they have for thier kids, I am a person that has very limited patience and I cant help but notice that they do pretty well when it comes to keeping everything under control, I know for a fact I couldnt do it, like I have said in my other blogs I come from a huge family of ten (counting my parents) and their was never ever a dull moment, heck it still has it’s moments, but Kate has not profess that she is perfect! she is doing the best she can under what I feel is a crazy life…. for Kate: dont let anyone bring you down and make you cry, you are a great mother and wife and I think that when the time comes you and John will make good choices that works for YOUR family, keep up the good work guy’s
    much love

    Judy-I don’t think it’s anger at all. I generally like Kate and think she and Jon are doing a good job raising their family. At the same time that doesn’t mean I have to like everything Kate does. I just think she needs relax a little when it comes to messes with the kids. I think she will enjoy herself more and the kids, before she knows it they will be grown and will wonder why she was so paranoid with them getting dirty. JMO.

  • Lauren
    Jul 11, 2008 at 8:42 am

    Judy, I’m not angry with Kate. I don’t even know her. I can tell you this, I’m 44 years old, mother of 3, boys ages 22 and 18, girl age 16. My sons tell me now how my neurosis about cleanliness, perfect clothes (even matching clothes) sucked the fun out of what should have been just ordinary kid-stuff. It makes me sad and for the life of me, I have no idea why I felt compelled to have my children looking like little dolls. It makes no sense. I’m not like that anymore, with anything, but if I could take back those years, I’d let them dress in the clothes THEY selected and get as dirty as they wanted. I would have enjoyed those days at the park instead of being hyper-vigilant with the wet wipes and shout wipes.

    No, they don’t hate me. They just remember feeling my anxiety and they have some hangups and quirks that I probably caused. One is super neat, has to have the PERFECT clothes and one refuses to iron his shirt no matter how many wrinkles are in it. I think he even TRIES to put wrinkles in it. I did that to them. And I regret it.

    Kate will have guilt some day and the kids will have issues.

  • Judy
    Jul 11, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    okay guys maybe anger was the wrong word to use.. but you have to admitt to this she is young and we were too when we first started a family, hindsight is 20 20 and i am sure you did the best you could at the time like she is doing with her children, i know you must have gotten alot of advice from other mothers when you were just starting out and i am also sure some advice you tried and some you just didnt think was right for your family, the same goes for kate she is a young mother that thinks she knows what her familys needs are more then anyone else and i agree with that, no one knows your kids better then you, until they get older and stop telling you anything :0)
    look all i am saying is let her have the same flight you did with your children thats how we learn by our mistakes and even the mistakes i wouldnt change for anything. it’s how we become the loving parents that we are today. i hope all have a wonderful weekend and it has been a pleasure chatting with you

    I also think they should kick something off on the internet so that we could keep up to date with them. The big stuff anyway. I start missing them when they don’t have new stuff and wondering what they are doing. I just love them. They should consider MuVar I think it would help them out a lot.

  • Lauren
    Jul 14, 2008 at 7:45 am

    We, as mothers, all make mistakes. I lost my mother in a car accident when I was nine, so I didn’t have her advice when I had my children. But I REMEMBERED her and what kind of mother she was. She didn’t yell, she didn’t hit, and she always had time for us, and she had five girls, very close in age. I still have such a warm and loved feeling when I think of the experiences she did give us, like dropping all the housework on a summer morning and loading us into her car for a day trip to the beach. LOL.

    I had a step mother who was a lot like Kate. She explained to us after we became adults that she was always uncomfortable giving hugs and kisses and just couldn’t relax around us. She should have never married a man with 4 kids. (One sister died in the accident, also).

    Anyway, I just wanted to state for the record that I realize Kate has some stress, some issues, whatever . . . but from an older (hopefully wiser) mother, don’t sweat the small stuff, Kate. Enjoy the kids now for in the blink of an eye they’ll be grown and gone and you’ll only have a few memories and they may not be that happy.

    Jul 14, 2008 at 9:21 am

Hello?? Change them out of their Sunday best Kate! LOL.

    Great family, wonderful show. Out of the many episodes I’ve viewed only one incident disturbed me. The whole family watched a wildlife TV show together and several of the children became extremely upset as they watched a lion killing and eating a monkey. As one of the twins wept inconsolably, little Aaden, who likes to play at being various animals kept repeating “He ate me, the lion ate me”. Jon and Kate seemed distracted and did nothing to calm their children. Such as turning the channel.

  • Linda Perry
    Jul 21, 2008 at 7:58 pm

    I am a HUGE fan of John and Kate plus eight but it bothers me that Kate is so uptight. To me it seems like it may be time for a rest from the cameras. I know they watch their selves probably but I would never allow myself to come off so over bearing as Kate does. John would never leave his family but she could loose his heart and respect. She forgets he is a human and not a child sometimes and that is really hard on a man’s ego (or anyones for that matter). I adore the show but hate the attitude. Get help Kate, your a nurse and OCD can be controlled with medication. Her love is undeniable but stop and smell the roses. God bless ya.

  • Carol
    Jul 21, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    She was just plain nasty to Jon tonight. She has OCD but she can get help. She belittles Jon in front of the children. She tells her kids that daddy doesn’t care for their safety and daddy’s mean. I love this show but Kate is getting worse and worse.

    what is jon and kates middle names?and address?

  • Lauren
    Jul 23, 2008 at 9:32 am

    Kate’s full name is Katie Irene Krieder Gosselin. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Jonathan’s middle name mentioned. As for their address, I’ve read that some people have been able to search and find it, but that seems a little too creepy to me. I’d rather not know.

    I did, however, read this morning that they’ve put a sign or signs in their yard stating: Do Not Stop in Front of Our House; Do Not Take Photos; Do Not Try to Talk To Us.

    I can’t blame them for not wanting the intrustion of the curious, but I think there might have been a nicer way of asking. The tone of the sign comes across (to me) as condescending and arrogant and a bit rude. I wish they’d have at least added a ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ in there.

  • Carol
    Jul 23, 2008 at 9:25 pm

    The sign sounds exactly like something Kate would say.

  • Judy
    Jul 24, 2008 at 4:15 am

    i cant help but feel that maybe Kate has let a little of this go to her head and that’s not right, if you have become a star then it’s because of the fans watching your show, i to can understand that she doesnt want perfect strangers coming up to them out of the blue a millione time a day but like lauren said she could have been a little bit nicer about it, i watch because i find the kids very interesting and i too came from a family of eight and it gives me a little insight on what my mom and dad went through but if they are going to be ungratful for their fans then i might have to change the channel on them forever

    sad to hear she was so rude

    I can only imagine the circus that surrounds this family. With the availability for addresses and phone numbers today via the internet it has got to be annoying to constantly be bothered. However, I do realize that they have put themselves out there and I don’t think that anyone thought they would be as popular as they are…. I personally love the show but would never try to look them up or contact them. Kate does an amazing job and I think that anyone in her shoes would do the same things she is going. You can tell that Jon and Kate truly love each other and all couples bicker with each other. I can’t imagine having gawkers constantly riding by my house. Sometimes you have to be nasty to get your point across. I love the show and hope they keep it on for many years…. (poor J & K) LOL

  • Judy
    Jul 25, 2008 at 5:07 am

    so funny how folks can change your mind of things, when i first started watching john and kate i was flipping through channles and there they were a young couple with so much on their plate i wonder how would they get by? but Kate bring so strong and loving got everyone in tune with everyone else and i said to myself “oh yea this family will make it just fine” now ladies we all know that men would just fall apart if it were not for all we do for them, am i right? of course i am i love john to death but if he is like my husband and most men are then he wouldnt make it a day with them kids if it were not for Kates nack for organization she is a pro at it (i am too?) i love to put something down and be able to come back to find it is there, i love that! anyway i guess my point is without rammbling on is that no matter what we all think and what we think we do better.. you just don’t know what it is like to have all those tiny faces looking at you for everything, and i think that john and kate do an amazing job and i hope they do the show for a long time to come .. i think all of their fans would agree that we have watch them grow for so long we would wonder what they look like how they have been doing and so on, i am also really happy that i get to sneak peek in their windows everyday from 5:00 to 6:00 i wish they were on all the time (just kidding ) i wouldnt get anything done… my wish for the children is to be happy and to find their way in life and with the help of their really good parents i feel they will be just fine…… happy friday all!

    Jon & Kate stated on a statement that was briefly posted on their website that no comments about them should be considered true unless they are first approved by them. LOL, me too. Nothing that is said about me is true unless I get a chance to approve it. She is trying to control the universe. What a shame that she no longer has a relationship with any family members because of her ego and greed. Children live what they learn. Perhaps, none of her children will speak to her when she is old and lonely, certainly not destitute from bleeding people dry. Tummy tuck, teeth whitening and the like. How do the children benefit from that? They are rolling in cash, yet still have a link on their website to donate money to the kids’ college funds. LOL. They are so much smarter than the rest of us.

    LOL, yeah, me too! I didn’t know we could do that . . .

    I want to know more about the supposed hit and run that Kate was involved with. I can’t find anything about it except for a poster named Pat who said she was injured and Kate just took off. Allegedly, the police tracked her down at home, though. That just seems so . . . . arrogant, or something. I can’t think of a word to describe it.

    at our age iam sure we have all been in a little fender bender they are human you know just like us… i feel for them sometimes because eveyone has some kine of opinion of them wether it is bad or good but we fail to realize it they are no different then anyone else, we all make mistakes the only diffrence is we dont have all of america making judgments on them, maybe they are due for a break, for the most part there are good things said about them but there are a few that really bash them unmercifully, i too have said a few ugly things about them and i now regret saying those things because i forgot that they are only two peolpe trying to make their way in life the best they can and it is to easy to throw stones which i now apologize for… my daddy taught me better then that, i truly believe they do the best that they can with what they got and really who cares if they are trying to score a few bucks to help with what i know must be some crazy amount of bills, lets just try and see their side of it and give them some encouragement rather then criticize every little move they make, beside i think that is what god would want….

    Well, Judy the payoff must be worth it . . . cause they’re getting ripped on the internet. It’s just a matter of time before the media sharks smell blood and circle around . . .

    BTW, I’ve never left the scene of a ‘fender-bender.’ You just wait for the police officer (if you need one) or you exchange information. It’s just common and civil courtesy. Regardless of whether or not Kate was indeed involved in an accident, I can’t condone ANYone just taking off after they hit someone’s car.

    Jul 31, 2008 at 5:25 am

    yes i can see where you are coming from but no one knows for sure she even did that so why bring up sometihng you have no idea is even the truth, i can not see her taking off, i mean she does have cameras there all the time, i find it hard to believe she is that stupid and she is a child of God, a women that teaches her children to be honest and fair, that is the problem with this country instead of found innocent until proven guilty it is the other way around… tell me lauren that you don’t go along with what all the haters are saying on here and eveywhere else for that matter…
    also i am so upset that they took them off from the 5:00pm - 6:00 pm shift they were on everyday and now their not drives me crazy they way t.v. peolpe just change things out of the blue

    Nobody should have an opinion unless they are in the exact same situation as John and Kate with the exact same life. Maybe you should stop worrying so much about other people’s lives and focus on your own. As far as the dirty thing - if you let your kids get dirty, good for you, you only have 2 or 3 of them, and they are different ages. Try doing laundry and keeping a house clean when you have 8 children of similar ages.

  • Angie
    Aug 2, 2008 at 4:01 pm

    I have to admit that I would be just as fanatical as Kate when it comes to kids and messes. I don’t blame her for worrying about the kids getting their clothes dirty or how she is constantly cleaning up while they are working on something (ex. pumpkins). I don’t have any children but am the same way with my pets and husband so I can’t even begin to fathom what it’s like having 8 children! YIKES! Way to go Kate…You Rock!

    Aug 18, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    I think Kate has her reasons for doing things the way she does but sometimes she does get a little carried away with the whole cleanliness thing and I’m not really against the things that she does and says because I’m a really big fan of the show but I just think she really needs to watch her actions sometimes. I’m 13 but I know if I was a mother of twins and sextuplets I wouldn’t even think about letting my kids get dirty. I know…you ppl r probly thinking “wut duz she kno…she’s a kid?” but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. i kno wuts going on in the world…not that i care about much of it but i think Kate duz a very good job at parenting…i just think she needs to think about the kids more when she says things and she should think about how her words will affect them. This comes off to ppl as “she doesn’t like kate” but you know what i watch the show because i want to see the kids…i want to watch them until they move out of the house or something but i also watch jon and kate and i think to myself what i would’ve done or what i wouldn’t have done. Kate…i think she’s too uptight. Jon…i think he used to be really cute when kate met him LOL…but i think he’s a really great father he just doesn’t pay attention to the kids enough. Mady…she needs to control herself a little bit more. Cara…she’s a wonderful sister but she should think about mady more. Hannah…i love how she acts as a mother to the rest of the kids. Leah…just like me…crazy! Alexis…another part of me…aggresive! Joel…whines a lot but he’s adorable! Collin…very controlling but caring. Aaden…all i can think of is Curious George!he’s so adorable and curious and he loves to learn things! That’s all i have to say besides keep the show airing until the kids grow up!

    “so does my kids”??? you “are” a graduate aren’t you. You just prove everyones point about who watches that trash..

    What kind of mom are you for letting little kids watch a show with bratty 7 year olds to mimic..and a yelling screaming mom and a neutered dad. You need to change the channel.

    $t
    All it takes to meet them is a $10.00 ticket at a venue and then it takes 20.00 for the “girls” to speak to you. OOPs I meant Jon and Kate.

    I love all of them. I think Jon is much, much more helpful than most men could be. He loves his kids and loves to play with them. Kate does indeed have a fear of contamination. I hate for those little kids to grow up being so afraid of getting dirty.

    Jon and Kate are sadly drifting apart-Jon is bored to death, and Kate is deep in OCD. Where on Earth are the grandparents? Ever wonder?

    This blog site is for dirty kids, if you want to comment on Jon & Kate go to Blog Fabulous and argue about what you like and don’t like about the show. I am waiting to see if TLC produces more Little People Big World shows.

    Margaret Cloud…GREAT response!!! Oh my!! I like this blog MUCH better than Blog Fabulous!! Boy are they hypocritical, whiney, chatty caddy women in there!!

    This post is HILARIOUS!! What a good food for thought for Kate. I really wish she would loosen up. And I agreed with the first blogger…to see Kate toss the kids would be HYSTERICAL!!

    Happy blogging everyone!!

    I think that when the Goselins went on there vacation that Kate did an amazing job of giving them a little bit more freedom! The body paint with pudding was probably the most fun they have had in a while! they all loved it and Jon did a great job helping to clean them off!!

    Kate is a Shrew……common……the only reason she allowed the kids to do the painting with pudding was to help change her shrewlike image.

    Why does everyone think that any little good thing done by Kate or Jon, but mostly Kate, is ‘made for tv’? Do we actually know her? Not just the Kate we see on tv but the real Kate behind the cameras? Maybe she is horrid but EVERYONE has at least 1 good quality. To say there is not 1 good thing about her is to say she is the devil. I’m sure some are okay with that staement but I’m not. I disagree with a lot about their choices and think the lack of privacy for the kids is a problem, a huge one. But I dont think it’s fair that ppl just ASSUME this couple is horrible and ALL bad. I dont think that’s realistic. If ppl here overgeneralized and called you or anyone else a shrew or rude or some other term, you wouldn’t like it. Maybe you wouldn’t care, and why? Because we don’t really know you. Just b/c we see her on tv doesnt mean we really know her.
