Kate Gosselin, the Thief

I often wondered what would have been the last straw with me as far as the Gosselins are concerned. Was Kate going to carry on with her lies, insult my intelligence one too many times or was it that the tups were just not that interesting to watch anymore. None of the above.
It was hearing about Pennmommy's son. A woman who took time out of her own schedule to volunteer for a stranger. That stranger? Kate Gosselin. Time that is lost now, time that she could have spent with her family, with her son. The son that she is now holding vigil over as he sits in a coma. Pennmommy gave her time to Kate Gosselin so that she could have an easier time raising her babies. One of the babies that Kate not so long ago said to "I don't even want to hear you breathe". Kate must not remember that there was a time that her babies struggled for each breath they took.
How can I watch this woman on television that fired this volunteer because she thought she stole "yogurt' from her refrigerator? Pennmommy volunteered her time to make Kate's life easier, will Kate even send Pennmommy a card, a wish, a prayer? Only if it is done on camera.
Kate accused Pennmommy of being a "thief' for the missing yogurt.
Kate Gosselin you are the thief! You are a thief of precious moments! You have stole away moments that Pennmommy could have been with her family. You, Kate Gosselin are nothing but a thief.

PM's son William just posted an update about his brother on GWoP's new site. His brother is in a coma and they aren't sure of the extent of damage yet from the stroke. PM and family can use all of the prayers and support you can send their way!!



Update from one of our readers:
PM's son left another message at GWoP saying that at least 12 people have now called the hospital switchboard trying to get information on his brother and the family. He has asked everyone to get the word out so these crazies will stop. PM and family do not need this harassment. PM's son is very, very ill. Please help get Will's message out!

Another Update: October 1, 2008
As it stands, Jason will never be able to breath on his own and his brain is damaged from the stroke. They are deciding whether to move him to a long term facility as soon as the doctors allow, or letting him pass and harvesting his usable organs for donors.

GWOP Shut down

Well, well, well
It looks like the Gosselins got their wish and had GWOP shut down or at least it looks that way. I was mistaken and had thought that Pennmommy had her blog shut down but have been informed that it was her decision to close the blog due to her son's health.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Pennmommy's son and I apologize for the misinformation.
Thanks for correcting me.

Emotional Abuse

I looked up emotional abuse and here is what I found. It said that if you can respond yes to more than just a few of these, your partner is probably abusing you. I will let you make up your own mind as to why I posted these.


Humiliate you privately or in public.
Criticize you, call you names, yell at you.
Hit or push you, even "accidentally".
Interrupt you.
Ignore your feelings.
Have unpredictable mood swings, alternating from good to bad for no apparent reason.
Disrespect you.
Present a wonderful face to the world and is well liked by outsiders.
Ridicule or insult you then tell you it’s a joke, or that you have no sense of humor.
Give you a hard time about socializing with your friends or family, or not allowing you to socialize with them.
Try to convince you he or she is "right," while you are "wrong”.
Act immature and selfish, yet accuse you of those behaviors.
Complain about how badly you treat him or her.
Try to control decisions.Questions your competence?
The other person places unreasonable demands on you and wants you to put everything else aside to tend to their needs. It could be a demand for constant attention.
You are subjected to constant criticism, and you are constantly berated because you don't fulfill all this person's needs.
Parent-child pattern of communication is most obvious when the abuser takes an aggressive stance.
The underlying judgmental "I know best" tone the abuser takes in situations is inappropriate and creates unequal footing in peer relationships.
The other person may deliberately start arguments and be in constant conflict with others.
The person may be "addicted to drama" since it creates excitement.
When the abuser disallows and overrules any viewpoints, perceptions or feelings which differ from their own.
Someone wants to control your every action. They have to have their own way.
Trivializing, which occurs when the abuser suggests that what you have done or communicated is inconsequential or unimportant.
Drastic mood changes or sudden emotional outbursts.

Writing Sponsors

I have been writing sponsors of Jon and Kate Plus 8. Many never respond, which is fine, they don't have to respond, I figure I have done my part by letting them know how I feel. I have also stopped buying certain things that are used as product placement on the show.

After seeing Kate's recipes and reading so many articles about Kate being the new spokesperson for the Grain Foods Foundation, I decided to contact the Grain Foods Foundation. I have sent them 2 emails, from two different email addresses. Both times I have gotten a message that these letters have been blocked and they were sent back. This makes me wonder, why do they have a contact email address if they are not willing to hear from people. Also I wonder, are they getting so many letters that they will not accept anymore. If anyone has any luck contacting the Grain Foods Foundation, would you please let us know? Here is their website contact page and there is also a link to their contact page on the right side of this blog under Jon and Kate Plus 8 Sponsors.
Thanks,
Stewie

The Plugs

The company that gave Jon his new plugs are using Jon to now plug their business. For anyone who want the details of Jon's balding head and to see pictures of his hair transplant, they are now available the New Hair Institute . This just makes me wonder, what are these people willing to do for a freebie? We know they were willing to leave their sick children. Thank goodness that Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin were still in their lives at that time, so the kids could be well taken care of by people that love them.

This is what the site says...
Jon Gosselin, father of eight young children and co-star (with his lovely wife Kate) of the hit TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus Eight, came to New Hair Institute to restore his hair. He was presenting a Norwood Class 5 hair loss pattern and had a single procedure of 2087 grafts. The surgery took place in late March 2008, and was filmed for a special 1-hour episode of their show, which finally aired in early June 2008.
We'll post updates as they are available, but for now here are 3 photos from before his procedure and 3 photos from immediately after. You'll note the redness in the after photos, which did subside soon after (these photos were taken minutes after the last graft was placed). Click the photos to enlarge.

Good Deed, Gosselins Yard Sale Gives Back

The Gosselin family is giving back. Of course they will be the first to tell you or show you that they are. They have updated their website letting us know just how much they are giving, well from a yard sale that is. Since the yard sale day was a "work" day, as in filming day, I wonder why they didn't chose to give the income they made from filming that day to charity too. I wonder if they will update us on how much their website takes in and what portion they are giving to charity. Most people donate and don't expect any recognition, but not Jon and Kate, here is their latest good deed!

On Saturday, September 20th we had a yard sale to benefit The Pediatric Cancer Foundation. We raised $1106.61 of which 100% will be donated to PCF, our favorite charity. If you would like to learn more please click on the following link www.pcfweb.org.


This is a great charity and we don't mean to take anything away from the work the charity does, we only care to reflect on the way in which Jon and Kate must announce how they are giving back. Well Jon and Kate, it's about time!
